Don't you think there'd be more evidence of it in geopolitics/brinkmanship?

US politics don't seem more hawkish/fear mongering than normal. China is hesitantly ready to invade Taiwan. Russia can't win a war against a much smaller power.

I think these things would be different if some people knew I could change mass of objects like that -- Think of the ballistic implications!
> replaced with the cheapest option available located in a place with even less rights

Cheapest is not equal to less rights. Compared to US most developed countries are cheaper, but with more labor rights. So it would make sense to outsource it to, say, CEE EU countries.

Check out kopia.io is a backup software that uses S3 to store files by blocks or pages.

You can browse, search and sort the files and directories of the different snapshot or versions of the file.

I love it !

For me it's a file system in S3.

Bonus: you must use a key, to encrypt the files.

It’s quite mad isn’t it. Can you imagine running a company that makes aeroplanes and not going to sleep each night panicking about all the lives you’re ferrying around up in the sky?

It turns out there is a whole company of executives who are so not-worried about it that they’ll continuously cut budgets and decrease the time available to make those planes until multiple planes fall out the sky. And even then are still not really that worried about safety.
Maximum, you mean? Or am I misunderstanding you? Written a lot of shell scripts in my days and somehow this fact escaped me. Thanks!

"Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has admitted he was wrong to brand the scandal of lost CDs containing the personal data of millions of Britons a "storm in a teacup" after falling victim to an internet scam.

The outspoken star printed his bank details in a newspaper to try and make the point that his money would be safe and that the spectre of identity theft was a sham.

He also gave instructions on how to find his address on the electoral roll and details about the car he drives.

However, in a rare moment of humility Clarkson has now revealed the stunt backfired and his details were used to set up a £500 direct debit payable from his account to the British Diabetic Association."

I have to say that I'm not hugely convinced. I don't really think that being able to pull out the keys before or after a prefix is particularly impressive. That is the basis for database indices going back to the 1970s after all.

Perhaps the use-cases you're talking about are very different from mine. That's possible of course.

But for me, often the slow speed of listing the bucket gets in the way. Your bucket doesn't have to get very big before listing the keys takes longer than reading them. I seem to remember that listing operations ran at sub-1mbps, but admittedly I don't have a big bucket handy right now to test that.

Speaking as a person with an amazing ability to offend and alienate folks on both sides of the political spectrum.

I like it when John Oliver or whoever goes after corruption and incompetence, but it still has to be said that popular comedy news shows are kind of the left’s version of Fox News in terms of shrillness, pandering, and brainwashing. While episodes on many topics are cringey to watch, at least they aren’t completely post-truth yet. When the writers do wade all the way in to culture war nonsense, I think they do this with a certain self awareness and I like to think they feel bad about it.

It would be easier to tolerate bias or low-brow ad hominem in comedy news if it wasn’t also still better than most “real” news. I don’t really want to hold a comedian to a journalist’s standard, but the real question is where are the journalists at anyway?

NPR (my old favorite) has jumped the shark. Other outlets generally harass me with paywalls when I’m already forced to sift through a total shit show of a website with op Ed’s no one asked for, celebrity gossip, and lengthy gpt-powered regurgitation all fluffing up the same few short blurbs from the AP wire.

Mainstream media for both the left and the right, domestic and foreign, all have websites with ads like “free WiFi for senior citizens” and “Just add this one weird thing to your toothpaste” next to big brain articles about dealing with disinformation in the next round of elections.

None of this is very confidence inspiring, so no, I doubt they’ll sell many subscriptions, and yeah, I expect quality will continue to decline. So I guess comedian-journalism is probably here to stay, regardless of whether I like the format

I think having a blameless culture is a separate issue.

Let's say Bob gets a job in a Boeing factory and on every plane he works on, he deliberately hides a bunch of broken components in the system, thereby causing the planes to fall out of the sky. We can talk blamelessly about how we can avoid every hiring someone like Bob again, or taking precautions against malicious employees, but Bob himself has to accept the criminal liabilities that come with the choices he made: his decisions caused people to die.

But what happens when Bob instead installs himself as the CEO, and deliberately makes choices that prioritise revenue and stock prices over safety, knowing full well the risks that he is forcing on people, and that his planes in some cases fundamentally don't work? From a blameless culture perspective, we again need to figure out how we can avoid hitting another Bob and having these mistakes happen again, but surely we also have to recognise that our CEO actively, and in some sense maliciously, made decisions that caused people to die?

In this case, thankfully (and ultimately lucky) nobody has died - although previous incidents have not had such good outcomes. But we still need to recognise that this culture came from decisions made at the top of the organisation. I fully support a blameless culture that doesn't punish people for making mistakes and tries to fix the long-term, fundamental issues rather than find a scapegoat for each incident. But this goes beyond simply making mistakes, especially when one remembers the pattern of behaviour within the Boeing organisation that has caused several incidents like this.

I picked the CEO as an example because it's a visible role, although in this case I believe several CEOs have overseen the decision making that has lead to these incidents. I am not saying that the CEO specifically is at fault here. But wilful decisions have absolutely been made that have put us in this situation, and I think it is absolutely right that if you make decisions that ultimately lead to potential injury and death, you need to suffer the consequences of those decisions. And for that, we have a criminal justice system.

Certain members of congress have been briefed and are on record as being very
concerned. Something is up. Whether they are called Aliens, or UFOs, or
otherwise, something is there that is being kept from people.

"Today the Pentagon and its current UAP investigative program, AARO, issued a
public report that is intentionally dishonest, inaccurate, and dangerously
misleanding.

This report only makes it more abundantly clear to Congress that they must take
more legistlative action to demand transparency."

- Lue Elizondo https://twitter.com/LueElizondo/status/1766231733236584545

"The United States government has gathered a great deal of information about
UAPs over many decades but has refused to share it with the American people.
That is wrong."

- Chuck Schumer, senate majority leader

"This new report is not going to satisfy anyone. To begin with, it is a case of
the DoD and the IC investigating themselves without even the independence that
Inspectors General enjoy. Obviously, there is a huge potential conflict of
interest. Imagine a small office at the DoD trying to investigate the
Iran-Contra affair. Congress did a great job with that inquiry, something that
would have likely been a whitewash if the Executive had tried to investigate
itself."

That specific example might be, but the general category of "things which look magical until you know how they work" is broad enough that the general point still applies.

If OpenAI had kept quiet about ChatGPT, people would still be saying that kind of performance was decades away, just like they did with every other AI breakthrough in my life 6 months before they became news.

Hardware is harder, but again, there's a whole modern religious movement founded on the premise that the Douglas DC-8 (IIRC but it doesn't matter which) was too advanced for mere humans to have designed it and therefore aliens.

I've also heard that some of the Japanese leadership in WW2 initially refused to believe the destruction of Hiroshima could have been caused by the successful use of a nuclear bomb.

I agree that the claim to “tapping” is likely legal bullshit that’s only practically effective because nobody who would want to fight Hasbro over it can afford to do so.

But trademark claims over individual words in specific covered contexts are a reasonable consumer protection measure, even if the “tapping” thing isn’t legitimately in that scope. It’s completely reasonable that, in most countries worldwide, I can’t legally produce a new laptop today and commercially market it as an Apple computer without permission from Apple Inc.
Yeah if they push too hard, more developers will go the "early access IS QA" route. game devs have already started gamifying bug reporting for in game loot, skins, etc.

No one is more eager or qualified to give feedback about games but the gamers themselves. The downside in this industry is minimal. No one can sue a game dev if a bug slips out, assets can be rolled back or whole systems changed to negate their impact with no recourse available to consumers.

But surely you need to track that elsewhere anyway?

So if you believed the plasma is from UFOs and not just another black project, you are welcome to keep believing this? That makes zero sense.

I would imagine an alien civilization playing tag with the USN would have shown up on other locations or observations. The fact that these observations associated with the USN aren’t collaborated anywhere else in this reported is a good indication they are not from aliens, and one SHOULD absolutely revise ones opinion about the reddit hoopla over some plasma weapons. Which was, frankly, always wildly unsupported.

The only way that this report is unrelated to the USN stuff is if you choose to believe it’s unrelated. In reality this is just yet more evidence that aliens aren’t like hanging out off the coast of California. For which there has never been any evidence, unless you count speculation as evidence.

Repeat after me: there are no little green men playing flashlight tag off of southern california. The USN is doing weapons tests. The haven’t confirmed it because, you know, it’s a black project.

This functionality does not exist to my knowledge.

ext4 and XFS return directory entries in pseudo-random order (due to hashing), not lexicographically.

For an example, see e.g. https://righteousit.wordpress.com/2022/01/13/xfs-part-6-btre...

I stand corrected it’s the people who do it are the responsible party I do agree.

However in markets those transactions are voluntary. In central planning they are involuntary.

When the transaction harms the buyer the reason that happens is the seller has deceived them and is certainly the underlying guilty party, that I agree.

I agree perfect governments are also a fairy tale.

All that said you don’t seem to recognize the heroic role of incentives and profits and markets in finding usefulness. That’s what triggers me. When people voluntarily pay for something it’s because they find it useful.

What you appear to claim is that governments need to be the arbiter of usefulness since the people cannot be trusted. That is a seriously dystopian approach.
