They're saying that they don't want sub commands (executable --action actionsoption).

They prefer (executable --actions-option) which is a command flag as opposed to chaining commands off one another.

The thing is all the other major airliners today (even made in Brazil!) have fly-by-wire and a "flight envelope protection" system which is like MCAS but more comprehensive, better thought through, documented, etc. That is, pilots are trained in the system and a huge amount of effort went into thinking through how the system should behave when it is in a degraded condition and some parts of the system (like those sensors) aren't functioning properly.

It's not a gross misinterpretation. I'm sorry, but a huge portion of the evidence you've stated was simply the ages of certain technologies and using that as invalid evidence for your arguments. I've clearly presented evidence to the contrary and you simply call it a gross misinterpretation without even providing a counter argument?

Your job is to prove why ages of technologies is relevant to your argument. If it's not then the only thing you can do is admit how that part of your argument is fucking baseless. You may be happy to discuss other things with me but until you admit or prove me wrong on this point there is zero further discussion about anything. Just walking up to someone and telling them they're wrong is useless. When you say gross expectation I expect some evidence to back that shit up. If not then you can just leave.

That being said I don't think I'm in the mood discuss anything with you. Let me be clear, any response you make to me after this will be illogical because I won't care for it or respond and it will be a complete waste of your time. We are done.

> But an array is just a contiguous data structure, not a function of its indicies.

When you do signal processing, you pretty much interpret 1d arrays as functions of time, 2d arrays as functions on the plane, etc. In that case, it is very natural.

If I have an array "A" that represents an image, I can change the britghtness and contrast of the image by doing an operation like "B = α*A + β". This notation requires broadcasting because β is a constant, not an array (or, equivalently, a function).
LGPL leverages copyright and is triggered under distribution/copying. Users of a multitenant system are not receiving a copy of anything. At least this is how GPL2 worked. I don't know if 3 substantially changed that.

What you're describing sounds more like the AGPL to me.

Instead of a custom deck, you could use a standard 78 card tarot deck and remove or just ignore one of the 14 card suits. Now you can buy encryption decks at many game or book stores and it's something people might plausibly have sitting around the house.

Do you have any more details about the card or bolt/washer systems anywhere? They both seem like cool ideas.

Interesting use of the word 'friendlier'.
The local birds killed by oil drilling aren't even what we should be comparing to. Even if that number were zero, bird populations world still be better off in a world powered by wind turbines than oil and gas.

Global warning is coming for birds too. Global warming poses an "existential threat for two thirds of North American bird species" [1] and obviously a similar proportion of bird species around the globe.

Why would YouTube "listen" to users with adblockers? They don't get ads, they don't pay for the premium version. They're a net loss to them (infra costs for nothing in exchange), they're better off without them so no incentive whatsoever to listen to them.

And we should think about content creators too, where does the money they get paid for the views come from?
This is great -- all of these suggestions are new to me.

With more time to dredge my memory, I also remember really enjoying Amelie and a most (not all) of Hal Hartley's movies.

Former President Trump has repeatedly stated that wind turbines are terrible for birds. I'm no mind reader, but it is also a fact that he owns a coastal golf course and sued to prevent development of a wind farm because he didn't want his golfers experience to be affected by seeing offshore wind turbines.

Correct, I'm glad you asked. Most batteries are embedded in electronics and have dozens of different form factors. Are you under the impression people buy a single battery and replace it when it wears out?

Under this logic wouldn't rechargeable battery makers have put themselves out of business a long time ago?

We're hearing one side of the story here, so who knows, but looking at it from Unity's perspective...

Unity doesn't want to have be the "cops" and "prosecutors" who have to go around to find, investigate, adjudicate and enforce violations in the store agreements. They want partners who, having agreed to the store terms, will make reasonable efforts to adhere to them.

E.g., Unity may have come to the conclusion that VLC violated the terms of the store agreement not by simple mistake or a reasonable different interpretation of the agreement, but on-purpose or through negligence. In that case, the reasonable thing to do is to simply stop doing business with VLC (if it's not too costly to do so), because of the relatively high likelihood it will happen again.

Don't forget that Unity could be sued for violating the terms of LGPL'd software. If they "have received a report" of an LGPL violation, they have to take it seriously. Any future lawsuit would likely be more successful if they had previously received a report of a violation and did not resolve it..

Is english your first language? I feel like many of your objections, insofar as I can make sense of them, fall into language & semantic debates.

The term HDA, which I coined and, therefore, feel like I have some ability to define, was created to contrast with the familiar SPA/Single Page Application acronym, which is a term used in web development. This is why I focus on the web with that article.

As I have repeated incessantly with you, I included HXML, a mobile hypermedia from the https://hyperview.org project, in my book on hypermedia systems, and I hope this indicates to a fair minded 3rd person (I have given up on you acknowledging my plain language here) that I do not believe that HTML is the only hypermedia in the world.

>One thing I don't understand though is exactly what the bug was?

It was not only the bugs but also the UX and the overall process that made things worse.

The system did things that the postmaster was either unaware of, or did not intend to do. When there was a customer session and a session time-out occurred it was changed into an actual transaction without the postmaster intending it; like you have a shopping cart on an e-commerce site and it transforms the shopping cart automatically into a sale after timeout.

There were screen freezes and when the postmaster pressed enter while the screen freeze happend, it multiplied the amount of money, without the screen being updated.

Postmasters are responsible for discrepancies, and when they called the telephone support they were occasionally told "not to worry, it will sort itself out". There were corrections from the outside and postmasters sometimes waited for weeks and even months for these corrections to happen to resolve the discrepancies. Sometimes they never happened.
That's the article's introduction; the rest of the article goes on to indicate why that imagined concern isn't as bad as imagined, especially when compared to the impact on birds of fossil fuel production and use.
They are very important distinctions and they are completely different.

Virtualization abstracts the actual underlying hardware, creating a virtual instance. You are executing instructions directly on the host CPU with little or no overhead, so it’s fast.

Emulation mimics one system on a different system by converting the instructions of the mimicked system into instructions the host platform can understand. It is generally a very slow process.
I don’t find the part, explaining why they think it is a structure and not say an optical illusion? Are all these galaxies of the same-ish distances to us? Are they gravitationally bound together or how should we understand the term “structure” here?
> you basically make the same point as wanted to make: you can’t just frame it as an engineering problem, it involves accountants and bosses.

I disagree that I was making this point. I said it currently involves accountants and bosses, and I'm saying it doesn't have to because you can make it an engineering problem. The accountants and bosses don't have any unique skills or insight here that aren't in principle also accessible to the engineers.

> Indian police is actually able to do quite the lot of pressure when terrorism is involved

Because terrorism related stuff falls under the Indian equivalent of Homeland Security, even if it's local PD triaging.

> Americans like Scammer Payback report giant scam callcenters with credible evidence, they take well over a year to raid it

Raids that are not National Security related need coordination between the Federal Government and State Government in India. The scamming call centers are located in a state called West Bengal. West Bengal is ruled by a regional opposition party called the TMC. West Bengal removed it's consent for Federal Police in India to raid without the consent of West Bengal Police. This ended up in the Supreme Court for a couple years [0].

On top of that, the scamming call centers are closely tied to the ruling party machinery in that state, as you need to get a license from the state government to operate a call center, and these kinds of call centers will often be donating to local political parties to look the other way.

Watch Jamtara on Netflix. It's a good overview on the economics of scam calls in India.

I would argue that the act that makes a piece of software "derivative" of another is not loading them both onto the same address space (since that's a symmetric relation anyway), but whether making one depend on the other having a specific behavior. If A.so provides foo(int) with some contract C and B.so depends on an implementation of foo(int) that matches the contract C, then arguably B.so is derivative of A.so, and the more facilities A.so provides and B.so assumes are available, the stronger that argument becomes. Whether the way A.so and B.so communicate is through a calling convention, a pipe, or a network connection, is largely an implementation detail.

I think micro-payments could work in many different ways and with much different results depending on which model becomes prevalent. But the issue is mostly that it has to both "work" once there's enough users and it has to have a mechanism for adoption even before it is "big enough".

Example of alternative for micro-payment model: You pay $20 to an intermediary each month. You upvote web pages/domains. Pages you visit knows you pay $20 each month but not whether you upvote them. At the end of the month, the $20 gets equal split between web pages you upvoted.

It's a very imperfect model that probably wouldn't get spontaneously adopted. But there's many ways it could be varied. And saying it won't work feels a bit too categorical because are we really saying no possible variant of this will ever work?

Hello guys,

I'm glad to present to you PlayAlgoShip, a web-based game where you solve fun algorithmic puzzles.

The rules are simple, you need to find the correct algorithm that makes the ship collect all stars.
If you succeed, you will unlock the next level!

There are also live statistics like how many players are currently playing on your current level (you are not alone struggling!), the finish rate of the level, and how many players liked/disliked it.

It's 100% free, I hope you will enjoy the experience!

> we are moving ever larger quantities of rock for ever-smaller returns --- when does that reach a point at which it no longer makes sense?

In economics we deal with supply and demand curves. If you price in the emissions, mining will at some point come into equilibrium with demand and continue to supply copper for those essential activities that require it, while forcing alternatives to switch to something else.

For the specific case of copper, aluminum is a close substitute in most practical applications (or CCA composite wires, combining the advantages of both). The world reserves of bauxite seem sufficient for centuries at current rates of extraction. For high end applications like ship or wind turbine use, superconductor motors are becoming a reality.

YMMV, but it's clear that renewables have the potential to offer very, very cheap and reliable energy.

Someone always points out that wind is intermittent, but renewables currently have almost no storage, and oil isn't any less intermittent - as almost every major geopolitical event since the 1970s oil crisis proves. See also, what's happening in the Red Sea.

Nukes? There's a reason that the recent string of coups in Africa has concentrated on uranium producing countries.

The real reasons for hostility to renewables are political. If there's a robust wide smart grid for distribution, and everyone has PVs on their roof, the fossil and nuclear BigCos no longer have a monopoly on supply. They also lose the political leverage that goes with it.

The fossil industry makes around $4tn a year in profits, and receives around $7tn a year in global government subsidies. That is a huge drain on the planetary economy, and a global renewables program would cut that by quite a bit.
