The person you impersonated may sue you, I guess.

You used his image to promote green beans without the right to do so. Normally that's something you pay for, you didn't, and I guess he may ask for what the personality rights for such an ad would normally cost. And depending on how you done it, it could conceivably damage to his reputation, qualifying as defamation. I don't know, maybe he got in trouble with the red bean industry because of that.

That's similar to violating a trademark.
I think for self-hosting as a service to take off you need to persuade people that it's 10x better for non-privacy reasons. That's hard to do because the biggest value prop for most folks would be media, but unless you already have a collection it's hard to legally get your hands on DRM-free digital media.

When I look at the things I self-host it's mostly media (beets/navidrome/jellyfin/etc) and privacy/longevity-focused alternatives (photoprism/miniflux)

Only a few (huginn/archivebox/rmfakecloud/llamacpp) are for general usefulness, but the applications are pretty tech-heavy and not for the average person.

If Boeing were developing radical new designs, I’d be with you. I might even be with them. But they’re not. The 737 Max 9 isn’t revolutionary in any capacity; the newness is practically all in the engines.
I've seen more than one video from the Mentour Pilot channel on YouTube (where he covers air accidents, fatal and not) where the pilots experience spatial disorientation and input opposite commands on their respective yokes. So it definitely happens on accident.

I believe that in the last couple of years the line between donation and begging has been blurred.

You have things on the extreme side like people begging on tiktok live doing shoutouts to every viewer that donates a significant gift.On the IRL side you also have people donating to the craziest streamers doing the most outrageous stuff outside. Then you also have super donations on Youtube on live podcasts.

When donations are incorporated on a social app it fosters an environment that makes donating acceptable and fun. Hardly anyone is going to trust their debit card/credit card details to a random site, but the masses will trust buying credits/donations/subscriptions through tiktok,youtube, twitch, patreon etc.

Hey, sorry. I didn't see the answer.

You have a valid point. Using a versioning field would be nicer for mods.
Thank you!
Aircraft investigations don't really work like pointy-haired-bosses who want a single simple answer for every problem. They do have nuance and list everything that contributed to the problem. Humans err frequently, and this is definitely a case where humans contributed. Dual input is a very fundamental violation of basic pilot training. While there may be systematic changes that could be made to improve it, pilot error absolutely should be on the list as well.

> when reported in the media, the average public just hears, "Pilots f'ed up,"

Unfortunately, for a mass media audience, this is unavoidable. People are always looking for "the answer". To understand nuance in a specialized field, most people will need an overview of the problem set to grasp the topic. Really you'd need more of a 60 Minutes type exposé to explain that; it's too much for a typical news report.
Regular people have been carrying house keys and/or car keys around for practically their entire lives. A physical key for their computers wouldn't be weird, except it's different than what they're used to.

And if I understand your point its that we should embrace higher level tools rather than trying to build abstractions in lower level tools. In that case OP should just use C++ rather than trying to build an abstraction into C. That going higher level is actually why C++ was created in the first place.
To be a bit pedantic, the people using the C++ standard are mostly compiler engineers.

Art is mostly drawing upon the commons and your understanding of artist rights is based on a fiction created by corporations and wealthy rent seekers seeking to retain power in our economic system.

They could offer a service that backs up your local Umbrel server to their central servers. This would provide reassurance that your data is backed up, and give them a revenue stream.

I switched from Nextcloud to Syncthing a while ago. ST is a plain file syncing program, like Dropbox, but distributed P2P (you can have a server running it as an always-on node). I sync the Camera & Screenshots folder on my phone to my computer & server. If you have multiple phones add the folder on each phone. It's bidirectional so photos you take or files you add will show up on all devices. It works much better than Nextcloud, and admin/maintenance/setup are all much easier.

For calendar & contacts sync I use Radicale. Syncthing with a regular shared folder + camera folder + screenshots folder combined with Radicale covers everything that I used Nextcloud for.

However this is all on your devices, there's no web interface to access your files from other devices.

I don't care how fast the laptop is to be honest. Most have been fast enough for what I need to do for years.

What I care about is battery life. Get me a Windows laptop as small as a MacBook Air with as good of a display that lasts as long or longer on battery. Then I'll be interested.

The new Snapdragon processors seem like a step in the right direction though.
Wow--so if I get smashed up on my bicycle by a hit-and-run, I can talk them down to $250? Amazing!

If you have assets, carry insurance to protect those assets. Maybe you get lucky with no insurance and come out ahead in the casket, but if you lose, you can lose big.

I have exceptional insurance through work now, but when I didn't, I carried high-deductible insurance with an out-of-network max-out-of-pocket. They might get me for 12 grand, but they had to weasel a lot harder to get me to pay more.

Also, I've been blessed with pretty good health. But my total hospital bill for life is probably about $250,000 due to a ruptured appendix. (The work was in a socialist hospital so I didn't get a bill--that's just my estimate.)

> Insurers can’t refuse to cover you or charge you more due to a "pre-existing condition."

This is absolutely true, however one does not simply buy insurance outside of open enrollment; you'd best hope you only get sick or injured in that particular month.

That's an odd definition of "selfish". Why is there an obligation to hand someone money? If you are running a business, be up front and charge money for it.

No, it's a facetious response to those who want to experiment with billions of people's lives to replace capitalism which has brought so many people out of poverty and hunger with an unstated system that will most likely resemble communism which will again starve hundreds of millions as it has countless of times.

People can and do operate a commune within a capitalistic society. Go in with other people and buy some land to live off, make a contract to share all property. You can't do the inverse in a communistic society.

But no, we all have to do it or it won't work, because apparently it's only possible at scale and it can't be explained until then. Convenient.

So don't act like you can't go live life in a commune today, you can, just people don't, because capitalistic life is more comfortable.

They'd rather complain online about other people's lives, using their iPhone, drinking Starbucks, thinking about how know best for all more than the great minds that created the society they take for granted.

No matter how interesting and alive the topic seems to be, the situation right now is that ISA design is likely on pause for the next 25 years, or dead, as RISCV is sucking all of the oxygen out of the room, and leaves virtually no space for competition.

Maybe a few minor issues would end up corrected, or maybe China will fork the project to do so, but that's about it. Compatibility will reign, and RISCV is probably the last ISA you'll need to know. Thankfully.

> Twitch loses money because Amazon has decided to make Twitch lose money.

This is totally untrue but keeps getting repeated. Yes, within Amazon, the non-AWS business units pay AWS to use AWS. But they pay cost plus a small percent, not retail rates.

The cost to non-AWS businesses is the same as if they had to do it all on their own (actually a little less since they get to leverage AWS's economies of scale).

The profitability of the other business units is actually improved this way. They would be paying more if they were independent and doing it on their own. This is why Amazon is so allergic to spinning out AWS as its own business.

While removing the driving license carriage requirement is a strict removal of a hassle, I understand where people don't trust the electronic ID card.

Unlike the driving license, you still need to carry it, either in plastic or as an app in your phone. And it's becoming a bit complicated. It's not a self-contained QR code with an electronic signature. It's a whole system that allows you to share only part of the info to someone (e.g. only age in the pub). It also remembers who asked for that info.

Experience from CZ and very fresh. The electronic ID app for instance is still only a few days old.

>Then I don't see how it's fair to criticize YouTube for this.

I never criticized YT for this (stating that Google hardly cares to hear is just a fact, used as an example - they are notorious for not putting much effort into responding to customer service complaints), I just used it as an example of one platform on which this happens. The entire point of my post was to highlight the fact that bots scanning for copyright infringement don't typically care if your voice happens to sound like, say, Gilbert Gottfried. All the bot hears is Gottfried's voice, so bam, takedown notice sent.

The platform doesn't matter.
This is wrong. Laws around money transmission, as well as egregious rentseeking from payment processing networks, not “people [being] fundamentally too selfish” are why this doesn’t work.

Aviation would be my personal experience. We have to implement services on the aircraft for structured communication support with the ground tower. Those would really benefit from something like that, since we wouldn't have to implement a backend for every project and we could simply reuse the whole library everywhere.

False speech generally opens you for civil liability. If I shout fire in the theater, everyone rushes out, and I get sued by somebody who was injured, that seems clearly within the free speech exceptions to me.

But if I shout fire in the theater and nobody does anything… what crime have I committed / what liability do I potentially have?
Running servers at home is surprisingly easy, especially if you have a good ISP. With AT&T Fiber, you can get 5Gbps symmetric internet with dedicated IPs at $3/mo each. With a few threadripper servers and a basic UPS and you have the setup for a real serious home datacenter. I just haven't solved the off-site data backup part of it, yet.
Note that a type system with polymorphic and dependent type system is far more powerful than generics or simple templates. In my opinion monomorphization is rather bad, because it creates a lot of compile time bloat while still not being very expressive from a type system point of view.
After the overload fixes itself somehow, a queue absolutely solves the availability problem. Yep. If the overload doesn't last for too long.

What isn't happening on your example is a queue improving anything on a overloaded system.

Queues are immensely helpful for all kinds of problems. Just not for overload.
Google/Deepmind research still has a fairly large subgroup working on health problems, but most of that work is not given away (or even easily licensable) or published in a way that competitors could reproduce.

What Isomorphic, the spinoff, learned pretty quickly is that protein structure prediction is not, has never been, and is unlikely to be, the most critical blocking step in developing new drugs. That won't stop pharma from investing biobucks (virtual dollars that are gated by milestones) in them. Right now pharma is terrified because their pipelines are drying up, their blockbusters are going generic, and the recent rates of new discoveries leading to new candidates (target diseases/bio pathways) are dropping, even as they invest more and more into automation and machine learning.

You won't get the sproi-oi-oing on a rod with the thickness of an axe-handle.

Some "bong", which is what you want: rather than the energy dissipating through your wrists and elbows into your back and skull, it gets absorbed by the handle, and "boinged" back into the axe-head. A good yew (or carbonfibre) handle is a back- and joint-saver. I owe a few really good axes (swedish make, irony?¹) and one very bad one (chinese). The bad one has some poor and way too stiff wood.

Not only does it break on mis-hits, much easier, it makes a difference on the amount of pain I feel after a day of chopping (I am a mere amateur, so muscle and back will hurt)

It's called the department of defense for a reason, even if in plenty of cases the military is used offensively.

Volunteer soldiers that go abroad to try to annex another country at the behest of their local overlord are looked at differently then volunteer soldiers that defend their country from annexation. It's not that the 'end result is in fact the same', it's that circumstances matter. In some cases killing another person is acceptable, in most others it is not.

That's why we have so many very specific terms to describe the different situations in which one person kills another, and which of those applies is a big factor in whether we see the killer as having acted justifiably or not. Reiser is on the extreme side of that scale in terms of not having acted justifiably, then he compounded that by his stance during the subsequent trial.

As someone who's been contributing $10/mo for a couple years, I'd like to see AK and contractors paid more.

It's great to see the dollars spent so frugally (they are paying something like 60-65% market of average devs) but this is a long-term project so sustainability cannot be ignored. Sooner or later contributors will face tough life choices.

Obviously, that means slower development unless funding shoots up for some reason, and 1.0 already seems far away, but I think otherwise there's too high a risk that it never happens or happens in an ultimately un-useful way.

Anyway, I always thought this project was valuable (that's why I started supporting it), but since I've been following it, I've found I also like the way it is run so I guess I should put my money where my mouth is... I just went up to $15/mo.

I honestly can't predict whether or not this will succeed, but I'm pretty sure it's worth a try.

Batteries are fine, the majority of the time it'll be in the pull stage as once depowered (the power is taken out of the kite by releasing the brake lines) you can bring the kite back down pretty quickly. Having two with the cycles staggered would reduce this but you need batteries anyway because you can't rely on demand being flat.

The algorithms to control the kite are pretty straightforward, the complexity to self launch would be a bit tough but it's easy enough for a human to do so there is no need to include that complexity for the use cases this is targeting. This wouldn't be a set and forget solution, not yet.

The kites will wear out relatively quickly but they're cheap to replace.

I consider myself a pretty skeptical / practical Engineer and I don't see any show stoppers, I think it'll fit the niche they're targeting quite nicely.
> The trouble is that those warnings should not be necessary.

Of course they shouldn't be, but it's a protection against scenerios such as miscommunication, being distracted and forgetting you handed them over, etc.

The real danger to well-trained behavior is emergencies and task-saturation. That's when you're most likely be distracted, act impulsively, etc.

Literally halve of all warnings can be covered by "The humans should have been paying attention and noticed it".
On its face it sounds silly, until you get experience with wind surfing. It's using the same concept. Figure 8s generate the pulling force. When you stop the figure 8s, and change the angle of the kite, you get minimal pulling force.
