They didn't just know about it, they actually said they didn't want to perm disconnect accounts they were told have been repeatedly infringing because they didn't want to lose the money those accounts would bring in. They screwed themselves by talking about it over email (including saying outright "Fuck the DMCA").

No ISP is happy about the fact that they're forced to spend significant amounts of time and money working as "copyright police" for the media industry for free, and they aren't happy that (so far) courts have insisted that they need to permanently disconnect people from the internet over nothing but unproved accusations from questionable sources, but it was a bad idea to talk openly about that in email because all of that was later used against them in court.
So is this basically elixir’s Phoenix framework?

One key feature of BEAM, has always been its ability to sustain high user count with this architecture, as its totally ok to have “a thread per user” on your server.

Wondering now how hyperdiv scales to thousands/millions of users, given python’s inherently stateful nature, what’s the key tech that made it possible?
As a consumer you have to do your research more than ever. There are still appliances out there that will outlive you but you need to hunt them down.

I recently bought the Gaggia Classic Pro coffee machine for this very reason. You can get into and fix anything in this machine in under 5 minutes.
System76 seems highly competent and ethical so this is good news
Indeed. Even most technical people don't have experience setting up VOIP stuff. And needing some techie's intervention just to create an account is not beneficial for a company's user base. Calling this a non-issue is being ignorant about how usability works and influences user engagement.
Fishermen, ecologists unite in northern France against 'sea bulldozer'
The same executives that would argue and protect the IP of any major company out there right now are somehow saying the complete opposite when it reduces down to the individual. If this hasn't revealed the hypocrisy of thinking when chasing the money, nothing will. It's the first in a series of realities people are facing with this concept of AI. That in truth it is nothing more than a financial and informational bait and switch. Screw the lot who haven't revolted in pursuit of the fellow man and have instead sold their soul to a kleptocracy of babyfaced bullshitters
Perhaps replace `delete` with `destroy`. To me, that feels more deliberate, but again I spend a lot of time using terraform so maybe it's just me.

Globalization and planned obsolescence (PO) are just two prongs of the same thing: profit maximizing corporations. Another one is the pervasive subscription model. These companies want a consistent, predictable revenue stream.

In a way you can think of PO as a sort of subscription. If my AirPods last 3 years on average they cost me around $25 per year to own.
1. Async allows you to parallelise tasks. If a request from a user needs to hit three logically independent endpoints, you don't need to do that in sequence, you can do them in parallel and thus the user will get a response much quicker.

2. OS threads can be expensive in the sense that they can block a lot of memory, to the point where you could run out of threads at some point. This is worse in some environments than in others. Apart from async, another solution for this is virtual / green threads (as in Erlang, Haskell, and much more recently, Java).

3. Some async implementations enable advanced structured concurrency patterns, such as cancellation, backpressure handling, etc.
“I know people who were in forced out of grad school for not engaging in activism”
Really?

I also don’t think the school needs to manufacture student mobs. People get these opinions from the internet far more than school imo. Furthermore, if Jewish students were cowering, which I doubt, it wouldn’t invalidate the mob’s reason for forming, which is in response to an ongoing genocide. I’m glad the school doesn’t crack down on opposition to such.
This how it works, the Democrats invest in the people's well-being and the Republicans exploit the resulting healthy workforce to concentrate wealth.
You're not thinking this through. You might have someone else's device with access to their signal chats, but need to confirm the identity of someone they're talking to. You might have been able to ID a person but only have had temporary access to the message data (eg undercover agents who sneak or are granted a look at someone else's Signal messages). You might have a Signal conversation with someone you suspect of crime, and want to establish correlation with their use of signal (by most-recently-accessed timestamps) and some other activity.
Just so you know, that doesn’t stop Google from indexing you anymore. It only stops Googlebot from crawling. In other words it’s strictly a place to deny permission or set limits on a technical level. If you do this they will still have what they already crawled and if there are links to it on the Internet they will keep it in the index.

If you don’t want something to be in Google on a policy level, you now have to add the noindex meta tag on every page.
It's interesting that in the post there's a maintainer pointing out that there's a very tiny little checkbox that says "this will process X PB of data". Given that your account knows how much your queries cost per TB it does seem like an "dark UI" design to not just say how much the query will actually cost.

Similarly that checkbox being a tiny part of the UI, and not allowing people to set up cost limits on a query (or not having them at the account level), does seem very much like an "encourage people to overspend" UX. I'm sure "overspend to the level of a $14k bill to an individual" is not intended, but that's a reasonably predictable occasional outcome for this design.

So on the one hand, yes they did click a checkbox saying they were aware of the amount of data being processed, but OTOH the UI seems to be specifically designed to encourage this kind of mistake.

Why Do Scissors Not Work Left Handed? (Solved)
one note on required distributions, I think they recently were relaxed with the SECURE 2.0 Act.

Based on a couple searches, the RMD age went up to 73, and in 2033 will increase again to 75 (given the start date this will affect those born after 1958).
Duck Duck Go uses the Bing API and they've been around for a long while. I'd imagine there's a heavy 80/20 rule of data that needs to be indexed frequently that people also search for, so those same cached results from API calls get the most use.

Just speculation though.

The collaboration would dramatically alter the nature of international money transfers in Egypt.
A wider adoption trend within Egypt’s financial industry is shown by CIB’s venture.
The firm behind the XRP token, Ripple, has collaborated with the Commercial International Bank (CIB) of Egypt. This is a major achievement for the corporation as it has strengthened its position in the Egyptian market.

This follows Ripple’s announcement that it would strengthen its presence outside of the United States, suggesting that the company is making great strides to speed up its worldwide development.

It covers anything that's not a wear-item breaking due to normal use. The shop who sold it has the burden of proof in case they want to claim it's been exposed to non-normal usage.

The shop has the right to try to repair the damage, but after two times (for the same issue), you have the right to get your money back.

China bet almost three times as much. Rhetoric in the West is starting to change as they make progress. Used to be that people would laugh and say it’ll never happen. Now there’s talk of “what we’re going to do when they flood the market with cheap silicon”. All thanks to largely self-defeating sanctions. Same thing will happen with AI acceleration hardware. In fact it’s already happening.

Content providers want it both ways. They want revenue, hence paywalls, but they also want clicks from search engines. In order to get clicks, they have to open up to search and archive engines. I’ve seen this to varying degrees. Some really is subscriber only.

One site just strips JavaScript, which one can do with browser extensions on a site-by-site basis. Safari Reader often bypasses paywalls, not even requiring an extension.

In a search-driven internet, full paywalls make you irrelevant. And even with “exclusive” content, what’s going to happen as synthetic content floods the internet, as it is doing already. How will one judge “quality”?

Back on point, I have bookmarked the site, especially since archive today (archive.XY) always puts up a CAPTCHA when I use iCloud Private Relay.
This is predictable.

They are right of course, but the questions is what “wins” means and what Washington money expects.
I had a certified GE service technician come to my home and install a electric glass top range that came with the home because it had broken from my cast iron sitting on it while the glass cooled.

I turned off the range with my Cast Iron on it, the cast iron cooled slower than the glass and the glass cracked. Poor design not built for cast iron.

This happened twice.

That meant I got to spend good time chatting with the service tech. He said he’s the last of a dying profession for a few reasons:

1. Nothing is fixed anymore except really old stuff. The things are simply replaced because the cost of fixing is higher than just replacing it with new. This means we’re literally throwing what are effectively new products into the landfill months after being installed. Even the old stuff, they are pushed into suggesting new build because the supply chain for old parts is small and there’s no money in it anymore.

2. There’s no career path for technicians because of 1 so where he used to be training apprentices they are going for other trades.

"but many technicians refuse to work on them due to poor design and poor availability of parts. So when they break after 2-5 years,"

That's the point - only junk fridges would need to be worked on in the first 5 years. I know if a freezer from the 80s and a fridge from the 60s that have never seen a technician in their lives. At this rate, that one from the 60s will probably have a longer lifespan than I will.
The bananas you can buy in the West are all clones of each other. Their mass distribution is tight enough that it wouldn't make much of a difference given that the numbers in the article are only very approximate to begin with.

What a revolutionary concept
We have people smart enough to crack all kinds of signal encodings and actual attempts at encryption, and we're probably not even that advanced of a civilization. Also, I'm not an expert in EM signalling or whatever the field is called, but I understand that most physical encodings actually have a lot of structure that distinguishes them from random. I know for sure that plaintext signals tend to have a LOT of structure unless they're compressed, and that structure will be reflected to some extent in the physical encoding unless you take measures to stop it.

Meanwhile the usual standard for encryption is "indistinguishable from random"... which kinda just doesn't make sense at the physical level. I'd be very interested to know if anyone has figured out how to do physical encoding/encryption that's indistinguishable from physical noise.
Wanted to say this too. They have a really good knowledge of ways to dig into Windows and I look forward to future blog posts

> The ToS is the only thing that governs end users connecting to the API, and it doesn’t deny end users the use of third party clients.

"You must not (or assist others to) access, use, modify, distribute, transfer, or exploit our Services in unauthorized manners" [1]

By my reading, the ToS does deny the use of third party clients. Someone could try to argue that a third party is using the services in the same manner as the authorized first party client, therefore it doesn't break the ToS; but since the company's leadership have said that's not OK (causing the mentioned client to stop being updated), I'd assume that if that argument worked in court, they'd just change the ToS to be more explicit about stopping it.

A few pieces of advice:

* It's better to work 10 different jobs over the years, than do a single job for 10 years.

* Know how much you are worth and job hop when you are underpaid.

* Be aware of how the work you do creates value for the business. Chasing the latest tech fads is not adding value. Working on edge-case features that no one cares about is not adding value. Saving the company $$$ by making things more efficient absolutely adds value and job security.

* Always add value. If a role does not "feel right", like it's too easy and you know you are not contributing much then run.

* Seek mentors.

* Accept that change is the only constant and you could lose your job, but if you managed your career well finding a new job should not be bad.

* Manage your finances so you can weather a bad industry downturn.

> This day and age, the knowledge is at our fingertips.

I don't feel this way at all. I don't know how to access information about products that I know to be unbiased. I can certainly find comparison websites and blog posts, some of which I'm sure are unbiased, but it's not clear to be how to reliably ascertain which is which.

100%, that said I don’t think you get the same degrading in quality when you know the people using the product. You simply can’t have your neighbor hating you for the bookshelf they made poorly.
Private sector, rather than public/state sector. I guess there's ambiguity in the terms here - It's publicly traded, sure, but it's not a government or state-owned entity.

I'm not sure that assumption is particularly valid.

The only response I've ever had from them on the issue was "our contract with google says it gets anonymised". This puts a lot of trust in Google not to use all the tasty data that is being sent, and they made no claims that the data remains in-country or under their control.
Indeed, there's quite a gulf between not having "a large biosphere" and having no biosphere at all.
People move into new homes.

Most people don’t, or don’t know how to make their appliances last much longer.

For example the minimum of maintenance for water tanks, or changing air filters more often when your home has AC.
"I would even pay a subscription like Costco"

Maybe pitch the idea. A Kirkland brand large appliance line doesn't seem so far fetched. It could be beneficial to the higher end manufacturers they contract with if the revenue structure looked right.
DHCP can be set up to make things harder, but most people's IPs don't change very often. ISPs don't want to make it impossible to tell who had an IP address at a given date/time because they need that information to fight other forms of internet abuse (spammers, phishers, hackers, malware, child porn, etc) as well as other legal requests they see from police and certain three letter agencies who file the proper paperwork with the ISPs legal department. This is generally a good thing and makes the internet a safer/better place.

Any ISPs who made it impossible for themselves to tell which customer had an IP address is going to act as a safe haven for bad actors and they'll get blacklisted from many other networks pretty quickly. Only the largest ISPs can ignore abuse issues on their network without fear of being blacklisted and their IP space null routed.
