I use BackBlaze and I'm fairly happy with it. Do be sure to check through the file time exclusions though... it didn't default to saving my videos, which wouldn't have been good.

It is $9/month/machine these days for unlimited personal backup. Throw everything on to a drive on your machine, make a local copy of that from time to time, and backblaze in case of local disaster, and you should be good to go.

Inkjets are still cheaper, smaller and can usually be refilled cheaply (with some drilling...). They might also be less toxic.
But assuming your hypothesis correct, wouldn't that mean most of those researchers would relocate to EU, which is not the case for most of them?
I believe if you put your money in the recently added interest accruing accounts, it will be FDIC insured. They just expanded those types of accounts from USD to also include EURO and GBP.

So why not also enjoy the convenience of only paying for what you actually use?
> How does this scandal keep getting worse and worse when the only thing to cover up is a contract for some poorly written software?

A massive contract for the entire postal service of which a number of government managers? On top of which Fujitsu provides software for a huge swath of other UK government agencies like NHS?

So not only are they protecting a huge contract, but they were also covering up the fact that they lied and people ended up going to jail, committing suicide, etc. Aside from the criminal and civil liabilities - that would generate substantial political outrage and is the sort of thing that would shed a lot of unwanted light on the contracts, how they were selected, etc. Light nobody wanted.

This literally caused deaths - people committed suicide because of the shame and debt and utter destruction of their careers.
I don't really disagree, I just feel like that choice is pretty well known at this point. Big tech provides a high degree of polish, an economical cost, and probably mind-blowing amounts of data collection. Alternatives are slightly less polished, perhaps more expensive, and probably more favorable from a privacy perspective. Sure it would be nice to have it all, but I see this as just another tradeoff we have to make to live in the modern world. I sympathize with the viewpoint, I guess I just react differently to the options.
I'm curious, where are you seeing this? At least four people are dead and hundreds had their lives ruined in the aftermath. I'm struggling to think of a crime with a similar number of victims that has been posted here and people have been sympathetic towards the perpetrators. There was that Hans Reiser message that was posted recently and I saw a good number of comments saying that he was an unrepentant psychopath who deserves to be in jail. And he "only" killed one person. I see people calling for reform and rehabilitation for things like drug possession, but never for crimes of this magnitude.
Wonder if solar at high scale can itself change the climate and other geological or astronomical parameters (not getting the right word immediately here, what I mean is, what effects does it have on the earth's climate and on the universe)?

As in, what is the effect of beaming out all that reflected solar energy into space, from the solar panels? (Assuming here that the tech still uses photovoltaic panels). Any negatives?
>Doesn't that mean precisely that Rust is easier than Go?

I suppose that boils down to whether you find it easier to wrangle Rust-isms or track down runtime bugs/panics. In many cases, I'd rather wrangle Rust-isms. In some cases (and they're not rare), I'd rather wrangle Go's runtime errors.

What makes some Rust people insufferable (not you, friend!) is that they think everything is about the language and toolchain, and they lose sight of the tremendous relevance of the application.

There's a reason not everybody is switching to Rust, and it's not because they're ignorant or stupid.
I found an small old copy of The Specialist without any attribution in a junk shop a few years ago and went down a short research rabbit hole about Chic Sale. Thanks for the reminder!
Make two crates? rspotify-sync, rspotify-async?

Couldn't you perhaps make an async runtime that isn't async
and just blocks? That would let you keep only the async interface.
In what way? They did change the port, instead of throwing their hands in the air and going wireless charging only.
I don't believe you are actually "handing over the credentials" to Intuit or any other 3rd party (unless you consider your computer the third party). When you use Direct Connect, they're stored locally (for example, Keychain on Mac), and when you use Quicken Connect (aka EWC or EWC+), it's more like oauth where you authorize through the financial institution website, and they issue a token to Quicken. What you want to avoid is their "Quicken Sync" which stores credentials in their cloud (yikes!).

It is confusing as an end user, and they don't really do much to explain it. You have to do some digging to understand how it works.
I suspect that it’s not really the crimes, per se, which makes a CEO be prosecuted. Like Joseph Nacchio.
That's what I learned from the "Peak Oil" scare/fiasco.

Let's not be fooled again!
If anything Google releases more open source now than ever. Because of TensorFlow (if I recall correctly - my memory is fuzzy on timeline of what product it was) they released Bazel and then Abseil. Chrome didn’t have the clout to accomplish that but those things are open sourced and very high quality libraries. Tcmalloc is open sourced even though Google reaps no rewards from that. There’s a bunch of stuff released by Googlers as open source.
But that is outside of the timeframe you'd be spreading spores. Deciding to move out in a month isn't doing anything for the mushroom.
I have heard of this, but was always unsure if it happened in real life. An account with $100 in it has 7 checks against it come in the same day (six for $15 each, and one for $90). If they processed all the smaller ones first only the larger check would incur the overdraft fee. But if they processed the largest one first, all the smaller ones would trigger a separate fee.
Little weird that Financial Times is writing about this. No gripe about the article per se, just not where I'd usually go for news about "galactic superstructures"
Reminds me of private prosecutions here in Canada. Is it similar or does the postal office have specific powers that go even beyond that?
Do you have any open source embedded projects? I’m curious of the direction you’ve gone in.
> Israel does have a high fertility, but it’s more to do with religiosity than urbanization.

Women of Jewish descent who identify as secular in Israel still have a high fertility rate.

Religiosity works well statistically in the US but it really breaks down in Europe, where it’s hard to see any substantial correlation in the interstate data.
Thanks for this thrrad OP! Lots of great recommendations for the rest of us
There is an alternative economic argument. Wise have the same product (money transfer) at a fraction of the cost. It could be that all the marking was a complete waste of time.
Set up automatic periodic printing (every 2 weeks or so). With something like this, for example: https://www.finnie.org/2018/10/24/cmyk-printer-line-test-she...
You know these kinds of nostalgia capture an aesthetic, but what made the web special in 1999 was the voices of individuals publishing websites of their own… their movable type sites were usually high brow affairs, but ‘99 added LiveJournal and Blogger to the mix.

I really miss independent voices. I feel like social media is a hollow version of what was, kind of like a bowling alley with bumpers on the lane.

The web felt vital to expression in 1999, and today it usually doesn’t. It feels corporate. Wish we could find a way to recapture that feeling of connection with one another.
> It’s a real game changer for python especially

Python is so slow you gain nothing with async. I have a plenty of cool stories how I've fixed crumbled products because they were async and all connection load instead of nginx/backend goes directly into db.

You rarely need long connections and if you choose async for python because it's fast then it's a wrong choice because it's not.

BTW asyncio is awful bloated implementation with huge overhead around task management.
The struggle in EU can be boiled down to 3 things:

- capital: continuous access to capital without turning a profit for decades is very hard outside US.

- talent: no doubt EU has a lot of talent in tech, but most of them want to come to US for better pay. And the funnel of talent from Universities, both international and domestic, is hard because a lot of them in EU are playing catch-up to their American counterparts.

- culture: there’s so much to be desired in terms of culture when it comes to working in EU. The long hours, the flagrant risk taking, high pay, openness to different philosophies/ways of doing things etc. are all aspects that are missing, but are generally needed for startups to succeed. (The openness to different perspectives was especially one of the things that drove me to US. My German colleagues would often shoot down ideas by saying “this is not <insert your country here>, in Germany we have standards”. Ironically those standards couldn’t get anything shipped ever.)

There’s of course more stringent regulations, but those tend to be everywhere.
Threads are far more heavy than async.

Async code maximizes the potential of the thread it’s running in.
> Even women of Jewish descent who identify as secular have a fertility rate of 2.2, much higher than in any other developed country.

Possible explanation: Secular people in a society with large numbers of highly religious people, some of the habits of the highly religious will rub off on them. Whereas, secular people in a more secular society, that is less likely to occur.

Also, “secular” is a broad spectrum ranging from hardcore atheist at one end to “I believe in a religion in theory but I ignore it in practice” at the other. People at the latter end of the spectrum are still open to being influenced by the religious, sometimes without even realising it

Not quite correct. They're built by Clevo, but they're co-designed.

That said, the described symptoms are something that should get fixed by calling support.

> What rights in the US would have helped here the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn't already do. Section 9 and 10 seem to cover this well

A fair question. First, as I was not making a top level comment, but responding to another comment, I was not specifically addressing this case, but instead making a broader statement about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (and the attendant judicial interpretations of same) versus the US Bill of Rights (and likewise legal interpretations). (Side note, a sibling comment thread makes the same argument).

In particular, Canadian courts have pretty consistently allowed more exceptions to the charters compared to US courts and Bill of Rights. Additionally, the charter makes much weaker protections in several specific circumstances, for example in section 24(2), whereby evidence collected illegally may still be used in criminal proceedings (see R v Grant 1990). But section 1 is the real kicker.

As a specific example, you referenced Section 9 of CRF. In R v Ladouceur [1], the Canadian Supreme Court found that although random traffic stops (fishing expeditions) violated Section 9 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, they were permitted under Section 1 of the Charter.

Section 1 contains the prefatory text:

"The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject *only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society*" (emphasis mine)

The fact that such weasel words / escape hatch would be enshrined into something that is purported to be as fundamental as the Bill of Rights essentially nullifies the entire thing, in my opinion. Indeed, section 1 is often quoted in Canadian jurisprudence as justification for all sorts of -- again, in my opinion -- government overreach.

Yes, it is real time, but due to interrupts you have to manage critical sections with cli() and sei() and your time base is a 16.000 MHz crystal.

Most instructions for ATmega and ATtiny execute in 1 clock cycle so writing deterministic, time-critical code is straightforward.
I had hoped that my point was clear without too much elaboration, and that you were joining this discussion in good faith.

My understanding: At the moment, climate projections are that within the next few centuries we will reach temperatures not seen since the eocene. The mammals of the eocene were quite small, because larger mammals had trouble surviving the hot climate. While the broad categories of animals that still exist today also existed back then, in aggregate they looked very different from today. Given current trends, the majority of animals of today will be unable to adapt to the new climate, and will die off.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, and then also follow that up with correcting the scientific consensus of experts who are forecasting drastic and damaging changes to the earth caused by humans.
Considering this is an ISAS project I wouldn't be surprised there were an eroge character named and spelled conspicuously similar to that.

That naming was briefly mentioned in the press conference, and the official reasoning told was it was so named "in the hope this landing will be a bookmark(shiori) in the long history of human aspirations towards the Moon", :shrug:.
I mostly agree, but I think you can still just pip install gevent and have greenlets as you always did - just not as language 'primitives'.

Personally I've never liked the syntactic sugar on top of function calls very much. If something is a promise or whatever, return me the promise and I can choose what to do with it.
But it’s not Watson that delivered.

That’s like pointing to GM’s 1990s electric car while explaining that electric cars haven’t delivered.
I have good close friends, they are a little younger than me, in their mid 40s - in a poly relationship, perhaps the difference I see in their relationship is it opened up after decades of commitment, raising children and the trust and communication skills that developed with that task.
In them, I see none of the illness, narcissism or duplicity you describe, but also they are not on apps, only their closest friends would know. The live their life and don’t go yelling poly all the time. I expect their quiet unadvertised experience is fairly common
Correct, a residential neighborhood is used to having cars in it.

What it usually doesn't have is 6x6" metal columns going up 20' into the air, and then diagonal metal roofing with solar panels on it.

Go ahead and try to get a permit to install a metal carport in front of your house in a normal town. I don't think you'll get it because it looks ridiculous in residential. But somehow they okd industrial metal solar installations in my neighborhood.
Wouldn't this simply be a situation where you are not checking for nil?

I think the more nefarious situation is when a library deep down decides to panic on you.
In my experience with the local gay scene, it’s common for stable, long term relationships to be open. Maybe this fits what you said about “tight-knit pro-open communities” but it’s not like we intentionally self-selected to combine poly people together. Maybe it’s some difference in relationship dynamics related to gender expectations.
Is it? What is the plan for depositing these materials with precision to implement logic? Doesn't seem like conventional lithography is applicable.
I agree. I recently bought a house in Europe and needed to convert USD to Euro for the purchase. I called around trying to find the easiest and cheapest way to convert a large sum and have it ready to transfer out, and Wise ended up being one of the lowest cost solutions. I was also able to set rate targets for the when to convert, etc... Really great product.
This has also been something I’ve noticed, and I share your sentiment. It really is an opinion, strongly held, born out of massive ignorance.
Which will probably be billed at $200, if my long experience with dermatologists is any guide.
that solves the whole problem except the part where the consumer of the library has to deal with async

My wife's 2015 Honda CRV will allow the car to exceed the cruise control's set speed by up to 5 mph before the CVT raises the engine speed to apply engine braking.

In my 2016 Subaru BRZ (manual transmission), cruise control would never apply brakes, so if the hill was steep enough that engine breaking was slowing the car, then it could potentially exceed the cruise speed. But it would need a nearly 10% grade to do that in 6th gear at 60 mph.
any chance that video from the mistral CEO is online anywhere? I'm harboring a deepseated respect for them as time rapidly moves on.
Being in the medtech/AI industry (our company, Eyenuk, created the 2nd autonomous AI approved by the FDA), nothing seems too strange here.

I've seen subscriptions supported, and the pricing doesn't seem alarming. If you look at any medical bill that includes lab work, or anything medical related, this is really cheap comparatively.

The cost of everything is required to lure companies into the space. The cost of research, running a clinical trial, the FDA approval, certifications (SOC2, etc.), insurance, etc. still push many companies away. In fact, in the EU, where the cost is lower, the approval process is getting harder (MDR) and many companies are leaving the market.
No, we don't. This is a misconception. There's no equivalent to the pleading the fifth. The supreme Court has been pretty clear about that.

>In the United States, the Fifth Amendment permits a witness to refuse to answer any question that may incriminate them (a.k.a. “taking the fifth” or “pleading the fifth”). This is not how the law works in Canada. In Canada, a witness can be forced to answer incriminating questions.

A teacher. The kind who'd make a kid do repeated writing "to teach them a lesson." That teacher playing "make believe" about anything.

Even in the 80s, teachers weren't exactly rocket scientists. Rocket scientists would have been familiar with computers.
I give them points for mentioning that in the second paragraph.

Good luck with that. Continuing to provide someone a service isn’t scamming them, even if they aren’t using it.

Child predator gets caught. Authorities tell child predator that the best way to minimize the number of years he spends in prison is to tell them what other predators he has been in contact with. Child predator gives them the information.

Sure, this is an imagined case, just as yours is. Is it any less plausible? I don't think so. And so we have two plausible imagined cases that give opposite answers to how useful banning encryption would actually be to law enforcement. In other words, imagined cases are of no help whatsoever in actually evaluating this issue.

What we, as members of the public (or for that matter concerned parents, for those who are), need in order to evaluate whether we should agree to banning encryption is open and transparent data on how well law enforcement does this job with vs. without encryption. Also data on how many child predators and other nefarious actors actually use encryption, given that it is easily available now. Child predators existed before encryption was available on consumer devices, and indeed before the Internet itself existed, so there should be plenty of historical data to use. Has anyone done such an analysis?

If Goldman Sachs approves something then I'm gonna have a bit of a hard time approving of it myself given their track record. And well, Get Started just leads to a page error.
That is very easy to mitigate, because you null route the production subnet except for a VPN that only can be reached by the proxy. You can even VPN over a completely different IPv6 route.

They could still try to knock your entire datacenter offline but that is much harder.
I do a pretty good job of keeping only the subscriptions I use. Thankfully my S.O. has a severe allergy towards those kind of bills. Did you cancel HBO Max? We haven't watched it in 2 weeks. Are you still using Apple Music? Why do we have three music subscriptions? Is this really the cheapest mobile plan around? It can get naggy but man does it save some $$$.

What drives me nuts are the subscriptions that we actually use but keep creeping up in price. SiriusXM is the worst, I think that one is up nearly 25% in the past couple years. One of those frog-in-boiling-water situations were you don't notice the ~$1/month increase but suddenly the thing is well above your mental marker of what it costs.
Seems like a bad presumption to assume they aren’t happy with the service.

Or is taking the standard deduction morally reprehensible too?
E. coli is usually less than 1% of a healthy gut flora, but yeah. It one of the first bacterias to move from the mother's vagina to the newborn baby, until it uses up the oxygen which then lets the anaerobes move in.
Perhaps more accurately, very few support it. Yes, yellow shirts exist, but based on the last election they are not a majority (despite the subsequent post-election shenanigans).
