> Enforce what? Texas took no step to block them.

The government takes no steps to prevent lots of law infractions, that doesn't mean they won't punish you for not adhering. As is the nature of laws.

> Pornhub blocked themselves in Texas. It's like all these US sites preventing EU users from visiting them, just because they don't want to be GDPR compliant.

Yes, preventing yourself from breaking a law is generally wise. What point do you believe you're making in these comments?
Your definition is incomplete:

an MVP is the smallest subset of useful features to take the product to market in order to prove or disprove its viability

and the reason you want to keep it to the minimum is to minimize the time and money invested in it so that you can throw it away if it doesn’t work and then try a different product. You’ll probably have to do this several times before succeeding so your budget for each should be about 1/10th of your available time and money.

The sun is arguably ultimately responsible for geothermal. Even if geothermal is part of the closed system, it's still functionally perpetual motion for our purposes. The main argument I'm making is that perpetual motion* is, for all practical purposes, possible, as long as you're willing to be specific, and you're unconcerned with the heat death of the universe (none of us should be concerned with the heat death of the universe).
Wrong?

Epic has EOS: https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/epic-online-services

And unlike Steam's solution, they're cross-platform aren't tied to being on EGS, meaning it's actually free, not costing you 30%.

> Anyone making games for Steam should make use of those to get the most out of their 30% in fees.

Not necessarily, because that will lock them into Steam. They should be using something like EGS or a 3rd party solution, because currently they end up needing to roll multiple versions of the game.

I'm very well aware of Steamworks, but Steamwork's time has passed except for integrating directly with Steam. The features it offered have been completely and utterly commoditized. You've got stuff like PlayFab, Rivet, Photon, Normcore, etc, all taking a hell of a lot less than 30% of your revenue, even at massive scale.
Scrapers are one of the main use cases we're seeing for Magic Loops[0].

...and you've hit the nail on the head in terms of our design philosophy: use LLMs to generate useful logic, then run that logic without needing to call an LLM/Agent.

With that said, we don't support browser automation. Skyvern is very neat, it reminds me of VimGPT[1], but with a more robust planning implementation.

You also benefit from the tailwind of the CitusData team making continued improvement to the extension, whereas an in-house system depends on your company's ability to hire and retain people to maintain + improve the in-house system.

It's hard to account for the value of benefits that have yet to accrue, but this kind of analysis, even if you pretty heavily-discount that future value, tilts the ROI in favor of solutions like Citus, IMO. Especially if your time horizon is 5+ or 10+ years out.

Like you said, if they made this decision 3ish years ago, you would have had to be pretty trusting on that future value. A choice, made today, hinges less on that variable.

You're being downvoted, but people should look at this through the lens of it being a massive real estate deal rather than as a civil rights issue, which it is not. Of course there's shady stuff going on if you scratch the surface, didn't you see the part where real estate developers are involved? Unless we're making the laughable (and patronizing) assumption that massive urban residential real estate deals are vaccinated from corruption if first nation tribal members are involved.
Do the same to a JSON array.

Position having meaning is a common part of most data representations, not something specific to structs. If you need to, you can also engineer order independence in structs with arrays of type and value unions, but there's no need to as the order has never been a problem.

I'm sorry for your experience, and thanks very much for sharing the code snippet - that's helpful!

Game buyers are going to use the thing that's sitting on their desktop. Every other aspect of either store is tertiary.

Remember? Pidgin is still a core piece of infrastructure in our company's managed services platform, and not for lack of interest "upgrading" but because it's just exactly the right tool for the job for certain kinds of internal company messaging, with self-hosted XMPP.

Completely defining your own secure perimeter by self hosting everything possible makes for extremely perfunctory audits by regulatory bodies for the industries (finance, mainly) we support.
It may not be enforceable but it probably isn't worth the legal risk especially if any of your employees might ever want to travel to that state. Same reason why you wouldn't want to be running a web site that's openly defying European law if you might want to visit the EU someday.

So why not run programs along the lines of current economic status, which is relatively easy to objectively determine and relatively light on ethnic, racial, and national animus? It is impossible to do a good job of litigating history and it is guaranteed to make people hate each other.

> Because of his asocial and secretive behaviour, Cavendish often avoided publishing his work, and much of his findings were not told even to his fellow scientists. In the late nineteenth century, long after his death, James Clerk Maxwell looked through Cavendish's papers and found observations and results for which others had been given credit.
It seems like he's expressing criticism over the racial narrative that this is an "indigenous way of being" building project instead of another corporate development that happens to be built on indigenous land.

Obviously, no one is expecting indigenous people to use ancient building techniques that haven't been used in centuries, but the groups behind the project are making the explicit claim that the project is somehow tied to a racial identity. Criticizing their claim is perfectly reasonable.

> they are given special rights that go beyond what any other class of canadian citizens have access to
> I find it questionable to give some citizens special birth rights greater than others

The reason for this is because they are using their rights from signed treaties that define how resources are used on their lands.

Persons that are part of First Nations like the Squamish and the Haida are not just "some citizens" of Canada but rather part of Nations that have their own governance and jurisdiction. Nations that have signed government to government treaties with Canada that clearly define their rights and jurisdiction.

And in many cases in BC in particular, treaties were never signed, and First Nations never ceded their lands and title, so in fact there is an enormously strong legal case to justify their influence and power over lands that they never legally ceded to British Columbia or Canada. These First Nations continue to rack up wins in the courts that continue to side with the FNs that their title to their lands has never been extinguished.
In https://payloadspace.com/starship-report/ the cost of Falcon-9 launch is estimated as $15M. One Raptor is less than $1M, but full Starship has 39 Raptors.

Starship will be much more attractive when it will become fully reusable though.
Kind of a tangent, but websdr.org is one of those sites that you can spend hours searching for interesting radio signals in waterfall plots.
Given that sharding has become a pretty mature practice, is it still worth considering the NewSQL solutions like CRDB, Yugabyte, and TiDB for the sake of auto sharding, given that these NewSQL databases usually trade throughput and latency for auto-sharding and multi-region support? Another added cost is learning how to operate NewSQL databases, assuming one is already familiar with either MySQL or Postgres.
Even though it's correct in this specific case, it's a serious mistake to go to ChatGPT for legal advice.

Hello brains!

I'm sure you've already guessed it, but I'm a huge fan of Jessica's videos too! I love what she's done and she's one of the people who inspired me to start doing some videos about ADHD too (planned in the coming months). I'll also be linking her channel in the resource section soon, along with Adam Savage's tested and a few others.

Thanks for the feedback about wide screens btw, will look into it. May I ask what the resolution is of the screen and what browser you're using? I'll save that as a size to test for when updating the site.

I'm so happy you liked the desk whiteboard and 100% know what you mean about the omnidesk setup. Also, if that's a cardinal sin, I too am a sinner as I currently have on my desk...an iMac, a 3D printer AND an airbrushing setup .

As for the recommendations. Thank you so much for taking the time to share those! I'll add them to my list of things to test next. Also, since you've mentioned the bookmarking, do check back in a few weeks as I currently have about 20 more things I'll be slowly adding.

Once again, thank you so so much for your detailed feedback, suggestions and the kind words. The resulting dopamine boost is making me even more excited to continue working on this .
The rules for online businesses usually do not need you to operate physically in a state. For example, CCPA in California, is enforceable if you buy/sell/share personal information of California residents and generate revenue from it, even if your business is not in California physically. You can be sued and the state will pursue fines if you are in violation of the law.

Similarly, even if Pornhub doesn't operate physically in Texas, if they make money off of users residing in Texas, you are "conducting business" in Texas and therefore the laws are applicable to you as any other business.

The concept is known as "minimum contacts".

The documentation on postgres data is very well done, and it's pretty straight forward to understand, you can find it here for anyone who is interested: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/protocol-message-formats....

I've noticed an uptick in recent years of people who believe the multiculturalism is harmful to a society's survival. This is extremely popular with American right wingers who would like to limit immigration or segregate people by races.

One of my favorite examples of a multi-ethnic state in Europe (kind of biased since I have some ancestry from there) is the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth. That lasted a good long while with a mix of Balts, West Slavs, and East Slavs.

If they have happy customers and the market is growing, then why would they be losing customers and who cares that their market share is shrinking?

If you're losing customers but only at a rate that looks like you'll be out of business in 150 years, is this actually a problem for the company of people?

Parents provide for their children. When they can't or won't do that anymore, then the child should go get a job. But why should they go get two jobs? Or three? Makes no sense. It might be okay (if miserable) for a while but they're going to burn out.

When you need to switch tactics (for internal or external reasons), go for it, but if you're winning the game you are looking to win and there's no existential threat looming? Who cares about market share? You don't need to win the market in order to win a satisfied life for you and your company of people.

The "bonds which hold water molecules together" are, I think, the covalent bonds holding the Hydrogens to the Oxygen.

Evaporation does not break those bonds, it's just the intact molecules energetically escaping the surface tension of the liquid.

There is no real special catch up going on here.

What is happening now is that First Nations have leveraged the courts to force a rule of law country like Canada to actually follow through on obeying the rule of law and following through with treaties they had signed and agreements they had made.
"Device-Based Age Verification" raises my software freedom hackles. I could imagine public perception for things like Google's Web Environment Integrity being bolstered by this kind of call to action.

The power of "think of the children" arguments for "normies" is already strong when it comes to encryption and privacy. I can't imagine standing up for software freedom if it runs counter to "think of the children" will fare well.
Another Electron app…?
Yes, but the point was that they can't launch starlinks or just about any commercially meaningful payload until they are reliably in orbit, and they can't reliably get into orbit until they demonstrate at least one relight, because they need to reliably re-enter the atmosphere for the reusability tests.

So they are at least one more launch away from launching starlinks.
It’s an asset due to its scarcity. If you remove the scarcity, it won’t be an asset. Financial asset managers buy real estate because they trust that silly people who think the demand for real estate is infinite will block new development allowing them to make money.
Why? Saturn V broke up in-air during re-entry on every "successful" launch as does every ULA rocket.
Yeah I have tinkered with the PG protocol to de-identify data as its transmitted and the error handling is pretty bare bones. I think its reflected pretty well in how connection errors and even query errors come back as "you have an error" from Postgres most times lol.

A lot of christians, maybe most globally, also practice veneration of the dead. Sometimes syncretically, but also from an external anthropological viewpoint the communion of saints is indistinguishable from ancestor worship.
