From what I heard the (idiotic) law was interpreted correctly.

There might be a final chance with the European Court of Human Rights if everything else fails.

But that easily takes many years. The right thing is to show your government how stupid the law is (harmful for German's security), to change it quickly and retroactively and compensate the researcher (I'd also say punish the company seriously, but that can't be applied retroactively).

> And wouldn't you know it, about 6 years ago, GM had moved to "hoteling" or "hot desking" with an intentional 90% capacity for the number of people assigned to the building

Why do so many organizations seem to have such a poor grasp on estate management that you keep hearing the same story again and again? Maybe the question should be: why is it apparently so common for leadership to make wide ranging policy without arming themselves with the most basic data, which should be easily available? It's not even a bigcorp thing. I've seen it personally somewhere that has nothing in common with GM.
Sometimes, especially when debugging, you don’t care about being “correct,” freeing memory properly, or any other safeties. You just want to narrow down where a bug is in the code so you can start stepping through the right parts and see what is going on.

If you make an infinite number of photocopies and hand them out for free to all passing strangers (aka sharing an image online) then if a stranger uses one of those photocopies, they haven't trespassed or damaged your property.
> I wonder how many universities actually mega climbed ranks in the past decades though

An example of rankings being climbed:

https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2014/08/26/how-northeast...

(Not to dis Northeastern. They have some great professors, and do some great teaching and research. And the faculty of a university don't necessarily agree with the businesspeople.)

But if you think that kind of college rankings climbing is a concern, the climbing demand that college has evolved for students is worse, and has implications for tech industry, as I asserted recently:

More recent news shows that the "government official" in charge of introducing this new rule was fired and the rulemaking abandoned.

I live in one of the least-light-polluted places in the lower 48 US states, and the night glare issue has improved massively.

Well you can train AIs to uncover image fraud and detect manipulation that is well known (imagetwin does this).

Presumably the same can be done for tabular data and genomic or "omics" data. At the very least statistical techniques can be used. I imagine high throughput imaging modalities will be the main target.

That being said the only way the -omics data will have utility is via AI models

Yes certain commodity parts are pretty easy to get and replace, in fact the wear items I usually find are quite available on big appliances in particular. But getting a replacement circuit board or perhaps a proprietary bracket is often not possible.

I don't think manufacturers should have to offer support in perpetuity though so it becomes an interesting problem. Like samsung shouldn't need to stock the front face of a washing machine for 15 years. Perhaps a better approach is making items that aren't possible to stock long term be made out of repairable materials so at least it can be repaired by a repairman.

Repairmen are expensive now because the skillset disappeared, when everything became so cheap that it was easier to buy new. But I think we can and should bring local repair services back.

Setun is very heavily mythologized as "groundbreaking", but the reality is that it was never a true ternary machine on hardware level. They tried to make it work, but couldn't, so in the end each hardware trit was implemented as a pair of ferromagnetic bits.

No. I expect that I won't sell it because it's worth more to me than anyone else.
The semantics of the title seem off and written by a non-scientist. A scientific theory cannot be proven, so the significant word choice of “confirm” is poor.
The comment you're replying to mentions some limitations of the current state of the art.

I agree that there's no reason to change just because something is older than some threshold. Bit I think the roughly 15 year cadence has reflected the time it has taken for a new VCS idea to develop and then become mainstream enough for its drawbacks to become annoying enough that it loops again.

I'd expect a lot of interjections (yeahs, okays, ums, rights, etc) in normal conversation, but people don't keep repeating back everything that's said for the "benefit" of an audience. Not in my experience anyway, although I suppose there are probably some people who do... maybe as a vocal tic or something. You'd get none of the pauses for sound effects or music in normal speech either. The podcast comes off as being very "produced" as opposed to having a natural conversational tone, and some people love that aspect, but the low information density is what gets to me the most.

I mean, here's an except from another transcript and even ignoring that they're using a ton of sound clips to explain something simple, the amount of repetition would be insane in a normal conversation:

It is primarily psychological difference. I have 10 years of expense as savings. But that is tied in my retirement/emergency/child education plans. If I stop earning for 1 year, I'll be dipping in them which will create a pressure.
I see your point, but I think maybe I didn't make my point very well.

To follow your fence analogy, they've ruled that any fence is important, but ignored brick walls and rope tied between posts – i.e. they've picked something overly specific, but poorly fit to the behaviour they are actually trying to classify.

While I'm sure that ruling against fences doesn't rule out a future ruling against walls or ropes, it probably complicates getting those rulings in the future, as one could use a defence of "if they wanted to protect it they should have built a fence" to imply security.
"Dana-Farberications" is indirectly playing on the name of someone who presumably had nothing to do with these allegations, and who sounds more at the other end of the spectrum of respectability:

> Sidney Farber (September 30, 1903 – March 30, 1973) was an American pediatric pathologist. He is regarded as the father of modern chemotherapy for his work using folic acid antagonists to combat leukemia, which led to the development of other chemotherapeutic agents against other malignancies. Farber was also active in cancer research advocacy and fundraising, most notably through his establishment of the Jimmy Fund, a foundation dedicated to pediatric research in childhood cancers. The Dana–Farber Cancer Institute is named after him.

A lot of our experiences are with symmetrical physical phenomenon. So, we're modeled that way.

Time does not "move." Yet we need to conceptualize it. So our language here gets sloppy. You can recognize this by using the modified "if time can move forward, it should be able to be stopped." The obvious incongruity of this defies the idea that we're attempting to impose ourselves.

In terms of Entropy, the universe does not _want_ to be hot, it _wants_ to be cold and empty. So, the finding is genuinely counterintuitive.
> Which is an advantage from an anti-tracking perspective

Depends. It makes it harder for someone outside your ISP to track you, but it makes it easier for your ISP to track you, and harder for them to justify not keeping logs of where you've connected to (since that data is necessary for their CGNAT system to work).
Where is your evidence for any of this ("world war 3", "dissolution of all international law") and why do you believe it?
The title could be about Cosmic Microwave Background radiation instead of talking about Big Bang Theory. Yes, he and Wilson discovered it.

No, it can't be both of those things. On one analysis, it is a complement to the verb est; on the other analysis, it is the verb.

Mortuus est is always going to be analyzed as the 3rd person singular perfect passive† indicative form of morior, "has died" or just "died", not "is dead". That's what combining the participle with esse means.

Now, mortuus could just be a non-participial adjective instead. You could form a sentence that way that looked identical, ludus mortuus est, and it would mean "the game is dead", which just happens to be semantically identical with "the game has died". You can't be dead in the present without having finished dying in the past, and you can't have finished dying in the past without being dead in the present.

So we make the assumption that mortuus est is a verb, and not a predicative verb phrase, just because morior is a very common verb and this is a normal way to use it. The assumption is analogous to the assumption in English that when somebody says "time flies like an arrow", they are talking about the rapidity of the passage of time, and not exhorting the listener to apply stopwatches to flies the same way they would to an arrow.

† To the extent that morior is a passive verb. It isn't -- we call it "deponent", an active verb that takes grammatically passive forms, like the English verb to be born -- and so mortuus est is just a perfect active form.
A scientific theory cannot really be "confirmed." The word choice is suspect. The Big Bang Theory is consistent with many properties of the known universe, but cannot adequately explain others. Claiming it is the ground truth takes a leap of faith, which however small compared to religion, requires a measure of faith as implied.
It would be cool to integrate Tree Sitter into a VCS. It'd be more flexible if that were an option for a project/folder/file, but also offer a text diff option for readmes/docs or for if someone is using the VCS to write a book or something.
> I think you’re failing account how many people, who are not extremely gullible, are influenced simply by repetitive narratives and group think.

Like all those people who work for money, to buy things; repeat, repeat.

Take away human language and its hallucinated meaning and we’re just meat based cassette tapes repeating yesterdays application of agency; output complete sentences, feel validated by the dopamine buzz for engaging in anything, eat, shit, go to bed.

A whole lot of daily life is just repeating yourself. Office jobs are “capitulate to group think”. Society requires a whole lot of capitulate to group think; everyone needs a tribe and finds one in the end.

Only people working directly on infrastructure, health, and tech breakthroughs are moving the needle and even then in small repetitive steps.

If you think you’re above that altogether then you’re the one chanting propaganda. Given the complexity of the universe, no center, you have no idea if you’re moving anything forward or backward; you can’t even point in the direction “forward”. Make more 1900s technology and software? Repeat. yawn

I wish Apple, Google, and every other company on the planet did this. Every Single Day, Multiple Times A Day, I run into UI issues in software (and non-software) that IMO would be mind numbingly obvious to fix if anyone had bother to actually watch a user. And, on top of not watching, it's often impossible to give feedback. Ever try to give Apple feedback? AFAICT it goes onto a black box, if you can find it. Google? They'll only take feedback in certain parts of their apps making it impossible to actually report an issue.

Real world performance differences between v4 and v6 are more likely to be influenced by different routing and network manipulation for v4 vs v6 than the larger address size.

If your v4 goes through NAT and v6 doesn't, that's a big thing.

If you have different peering and transit providers in v4 and v6, that's a big thing.

If overhead from address sizes was really a big deal, we'd see work to push larger MTUs and working MTU discovery, but that kind of stalled a while ago. 1500 works for a lot of people, and many major sites drop effective MTU by 20 or so and that makes more things work, and then it gets swept under the rug. (OTOH, I think Android may have finally gotten MTU probing enabled after many years of shipping it disabled; Apple has had very effective probing, at least on iOS for a long time)

Possibly due to routing differences on the path to your service, but not due to the protocol itself. Definitely not due to the address size. Beyond your local equipment, that switching normally happens in hardware.

Sometimes I think about this as promoting investment in cash. Deflation over time means cash yields a profit.

But since cash doesn't actually do anything, investing in cash instead of something else is harmful.

One implication of both of our comments is that unanticipated deflation is good. What causes problems is the reaction people take to anticipating that deflation will occur -- they wait it out -- not the fact that things are cheaper.

The necessary refinement would be that unanticipated deflation that comes from an increase in the amount of stuff is good, and unanticipated deflation that comes from a reduction in the amount of money is [?].

Introducing that dimension asks us to fill out the grid:

- anticipated deflation from an increase in the amount of stuff: [?]

- anticipated deflation from a reduction in the amount of money: bad
