It will be interesting to exactly what the EU does regarding Apple's malicious compliance with regard to allowing third party apps stores.

Not a great analogy since Brin could step in as CEO unlike a past US president.
If you ignore the word "guaranteed" just before freedom, sure. If you don't, well, there is not much pro-live can be happy about.
Fossil has a few of these.
No, but you have to define slavery and freedom. My definition of freedom is "being able to do something at my will" PLUS "without dramas".

If I own a home I can't relocate as easy as if I rent, of course, that's a slavery. BUT the home it's under my control and I can sell it. I have insurances if something goes wrong, and I can choose between many of them, the home is inside a State, I can't have the same home in multiple States but the State is formally a Democracy (not much in reality, but that's another broad topic) and it's stable enough, so I can sell the home and change state before being trapped in a harsh dictatorship. On contrary if I live on trains I have not much choice if a train get canceled let's say because of a storm and that's happen while I'm in a mountain area only with bank cards and no connection and no hotel nearby. As a simple example.

We are all a bit free and a bit slave, the point how much freedom we have and how dramatic is exercise it or not.
Would not be shocked if he steps in as CEO
This honestly just sounds like a lot of whining from the author.

As someone who’s set in rooms with loads of regulators

(1) you can pretty much always compromise with them.

(2) they want to ensure criteria is met & typically not penalties nor want you to leave a market

It’s more accurate to think of regulators as customers. They just have different requirements they need to solve their problem. Rarely are they protecting consumers imo. Usually they’re there protecting government or other powerful interest.

Regardless, we would do something similar to Apple with regulators. “Look it’ll take 18 months to implement X. It’ll also cost $Y. If you push this issue we won’t make a profit and we will exit the market. Are you sure you want us to do that?”

“No no no. We just need this and that safe guard in place.”

“Alright, we can implement the first one in 2 months, that last one will take time, let’s work on a roadmap.”

And that’s how it really functions.
If it's not overtly violent or sexual, my experience is that they actively promote it.
My question wasn't about your "current codebase". It was about Radicle. It was launched 6 years ago, and for some reason it's always about to onboard the first users when crypto is on hype :)

An idea doesn't take off -- totally normal, but how on earth can you fund Radicle for such a long time with no users? You can even throw it away and rewrite it! What's the source of funding for Radicle ?

Asking because you seem to be best at getting the idea funded, not really actualizing it.
I give my child zero screen time except on the plane when we are flying across the country to visit family.

Eating out with my son is difficult because he cannot focus on something for more than a few minutes. I’m sure some kids would be content to sit and color for like 30mins but I don’t think it’s the norm at 2.
I agree, this opens up really interesting possibilities.

Here's my understanding of how it works, based on the puter.js docs [1]:

If I'm developing a frontend app that could benefit from cloud storage, I can load in puter.js as my "backend". I don't need to worry about user auth because puter.js will automatically ask the user to create an account or log in. I also don't need to worry about managing & paying for cloud storage because puter.js will take care of that on a user-by-user basis - including asking the user for payment if they go over their free limits.

I haven't actually used puter.js yet. But if I understand correctly, this could be a really powerful model. As the developer of a niche app whose purpose is not to bring in revenue, puter.js seems like a very reasonable way to pass on cloud storage costs to end users, while also reducing development effort!

This is a really excellent article. It's very important to have a good understanding of what the other side's argument actually is in situations like this. EU politics is not at all like Anglosphere politics; it remains very machine-technocratic, rather than the clickbait-circus that dominates Anglo politics at the moment.

I think it's worth it still. Depending a lot on the company:

* Ask questions to founders if they raise on participating preferred (the worst). Don't take a job if they do or if they won't answer
* Find a place with early exercise of options
* Find a place with a healthy company culture. (I believe this correlates)

I made a lot off of options, while having a good salary. I know others that did the same.
It's not cheating or impure. It's a path that is not pointing towards AGI. Heterogenous architectures are seen with contempt nowadays. Everyone told us that it is better to have a single huge model, than to specialize anything at all.

Very arguably. Presuming the train has cameras, staff and other people on it, it could be argued it's safer than sleeping in a house.
By the same way I know how the commit signers are who they say they are in "regular" usage of GPG: I have verified the key belongs to them, or their keys are signed by people I trust to have verified, etc, etc. Like a sibling said, the problem is social rather than technical.
The article does not just explain the reality of doing business. I doubt you actually read it. There is an entire paragraph defending the connector situation and justifying inaction on the incompatibility of outlets. Its not saying “this is the reality, do better at accepting it”, it is making policy justification arguments. It is perfectly valid to point out that those arguments are stupid.

I could use your weird, strained logic to just say that you can’t convince me, so you are wrong to try and your attempts to convince me won’t change the reality and therefore you are wrong to discuss anything I do or say critically. That is what you are doing on behalf of EU regulators.
I stopped letting Google filter my world when I saw that it had de-indexed conversations between extremely well credentialed scientists when they came to unpopular conclusions regarding Covid policy. This story appears to confirm that Google sees ideological influence as part of their core mission. I don't really object to that when the ideology is about transparency, neutrality, objectivity, so this isn't anti-ideology. But I do object when it's about censorship, advocacy and feelings, because my own ideology is pro-Enlightenment. So I've de-Googled, and I will be ready to de-Kagi, de-Zoho, de-LineageOS, etc. if they become similarly captured. I just hope that ends with me still having access to modern tech.
That's my impression as well. I used to work in VFX, my entire career is pretty much 3D something or other, over and over.

This is literally one of the strengths of capitalism over any other system: even people with the most money don't have control over the system.

It's suprising that the US still holds itself as the champion of the free market where it's more a corporate Oligarchy. It's clear Apple is trying to be as monopolistic as possible, understable from their perspective, but it's the EU job to regulate it, just a shame of the US fell so deep.
This looks wonderful, I'll read more on details and follow the project!

Does this suffer from the code search problem, or are there plans to somehow introduce that?

The main problem of decentralized and federated code management projects is that I still go to github (not even gitlab) when I want to see what other people do, how they use a lib or something, and I can search issues, too.

So we obviously can't have each of our small servers serve code search requests from all the world's developers.

...a sync-and-search-only project is probably a job for someone like the EFF, or non-profit orgs that already have sufficient funding... has anyone heard any talks in that regard?

A common mistake is to think that the EU is limited to a few large economies (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Holland), but this is not the case.

Ensuring that a Croatian SME can win contracts with the French or Germans is one of the EU's priority objectives. This is how the EU has lifted millions of people out of poverty. This is a very tangible reality. It worked with East Germany, Spain, Poland, the Baltic States and now the Balkans.

The European Commission is litteraly there to ensure that a water heater designed by an Italian, made by a Romanian from Polish steel, inspected by an Italian and put on the market by a Frenchman guarantees high quality standards.
They take this mission very seriously because it's not just about protectionism or trade competition. It's a political project of peace and improvement of the living standards for Europeans.

You'd have to know very little about the European Union to believe that it was prepared to negotiate or grant a free pass to Apple.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Is Finding Success Moving from Grub to Systemd-Boot
Gemini is just a representation of a much larger issue at Google and other tech companies. These places are run by people who think they know better then you and will try to condition you towards their political beliefs one way or the other. The only thing they learnt here is that they have to be more discreet about it. The same companies have long ago already shown they are happy to turn all their platforms into a skinner box and A/B test the shit out of different features until they have maximised their objective functions at your expense.

> You can’t be a good manager or executive, in any industry, if you operate in constant denial of the facts on the ground. Arguing from ideology or beliefs that aren’t grounded in observation, measurement, or study, is the hallmark of a politician or media personality, not a manager responsible for other people’s jobs.

This makes me think of John Mearsheimer’s breakdown of realism vs liberalism in the context of inter relations on Fridman’s podcast. He suggests American leaders are particularly idealistic (operating on “should”) whereas others are realists (operating on “what is”).

I wonder if its more universal than political leadership.
I don't think this is right. My understanding is that the engine is typically the one of the heaviest dry parts of the vehicle and the fuel (at launch) the heaviest individual part overall. Especially nowadays since the electronics and sensors are tiny and antennae are lightweight.

This is especially the case with things like landers and geostationary satellites, where you want as much fuel as you can afford for station keeping, to keep the satellite operable for as long as possible.

Half of Nova-C's mass was fuel (~900kg), payload was 100kg. Starship's payload is ~100t, dry mass is ~150-200t but fuel mass is ~1200t.
That's the name of the game.

1x non participating is a fine way to offset some risk.

Anything more than that is greed.

As an European I fail to see how I could call myself patriot and at the same time distrust my own government - elected by me. Even if I didn't like the government, I'd still go with it because it's representing my country, and I'd also try to change the aspects which I don't like, again because it's my country. Those "actual true patriots" sound to me more like actual true selfish people which only want things happening according to their own ideas and needs.

> the general sentiment towards government regulation in europe, which is typically, "more, better".

I'd need to be convinced that's true. More regulation was a huge part of the successful campaign to get the UK out of the EU. It seems to get effusive praise in places like this, but in daily business, I generally hear the term GDPR spat. Is anyone expecting the incoming car regulation around beeps and bongs every time you approach the speed limit to be received well by ordinary people? The USBC stuff that this article heaps praise on is a great example, techies love it, everyone else in everyday life I've only heard complain about it. Maybe it improves things long-term, but I can't remember hearing anyone say "more, better" about any of these things.

I would say the overall sentiment I've heard is that there is a general suspicion that the reason European business lags so far behind the US is that we're held back. I don't think the handful of people that will be able to play Fortnite on their iPhones will change this. It certainly wont if they end up needing multiple app stores for their daily apps.
Logic error -> argument from authority (ad verecundiam)
They stated that AFTER they just cut the network access to the hosts. It isn’t as though we were doing anything ethically or legally wrong. We were running rpc nodes for legit applications and a validator to secure the network.

For me, who’s worked in 50,000+ bare metal Linux environments before, it was just so surprising how sudden and violent it was. Their customer support was amazing until it wasn’t.

Just let it be a lesson, they will arbitrarily change their mind and put your nodes running your business at risk. Even if you’ve broken no laws and are operating in good faith. We were not running and proof of work nonsense that breaks the hardware or uses excess electricity.
No just by me and the dyslexia gang.
I could easily be wrong and I am very open to learning as what I wrote is just my intuition developed from playing KSP.

The Apollo's "lunar module descent engine" weighs a mere 180 KG vs the approx. 4200 KG of the rest of the craft (dry mass). Just the fuel for the descent is then roughly 8000 KG.

Obviously, landing on the moon is possible but I do think that the inherent requirement to have engine(s) and fuel tanks below the payload makes landing in a vacuum a bit of a challenge.
The author is right but makes a similar mistake as the Americans, given he’s European. He does not clarify what market means. This can be perplexing and misunderstood by an American audience.

Market in the US is such a different thing. American companies like TurboTax and Comcast are operating (by American standards) right within the market. In fact, probably “better” than everyone else. The market is a Wild West where the goal is domination of a segment, ideally multiple ones. Like United healthcare is today.

In the EU markets mean competitive (more traditional) markets. For instance, the telecom roaming charges he brings up, are a perfect example of a Comcast-like perverted industry that simply got broken up. It used to be ludicrous prices - pushing people towards hotel WiFi or a surprise bill - then suddenly there are 10s of GB free. Nobody died and everyone got it better.

In America, this would be the equivalent of waking up one day and ISP prices had dropped by half and there are 10 providers to choose from, basically no matter where you lived.

Having lived in the US, nobody expects this. Even with things like student loan forgiveness, universal healthcare etc nobody actually expects these things to come without absolute giant catches - layering of new bureaucracy and hidden fees. So there’s a skepticism against these things. By extension, there is skepticism against the EU. “What are they up to, those sneaky fucks?”

As a European with a decent leaning towards classical markets and liberalism, my take is that the US has truly reached market perversion, to the extent that Milton Friedman would roll in his grave. The neo-liberalist pro-corporate tilt that we're seeing in the US today is beyond what I’d argue even the most laissez faire economical thinkers of the 20th century. It’s the opposite of what a free market should be. All the arguments for economic liberalism are based in the freedom to compete fairly. Without that, it’s just oligarchy with a different flag.
Including USB-C? I find that hard to believe.
Demographic, energy and financial crisis in France ? This sounds such a French perspective ("everything is so bad in our country") that ignores so many other places were the problems are real and widespread.

We had a global pandemic that blocked the whole world for a couple of years and a war that required changes to the whole energy strategy. I think France is doing quite ok given that.

“brainwashed”

Distrust of government, and the limiting of its powers, is an American founding principle. It has resulted in federalism, separation of powers, a Constitution that protects property rights, and a Bill of Rights. This skepticism of government stemmed from the lived experience of the founders.

That this founding principle still permeates American thinking and American life is something I would call culture, or an ethos. But it is not, in my experience, brainwashing.
