Well, having read the order, the person who has not collaborated is the government of the Virgin Islands and the judge goes and suspends the company's activity...

It doesn't make sense in my opinion, as you say

Attached image of text:

THIRD.- The new legal regime of judicial investigation deadlines is applied to the present process being processed since its initiation on 03/29/2023, with the investigation period applicable to this case being twelve months. The period, computed from date to date, will expire on 03/29/2024, unless, prior to that date, the extension of said period is appropriate and agreed upon.

ROOM. For the good purpose of the instruction, it is necessary to practice the

procedures contained in the letter rogatory sent to the Virgin Islands without, to date, there being any news of compliance with the aforementioned cooperation instrument. Numerous investigative procedures would remain pending depending on the information that will facilitate the execution of the aforementioned International Rogatory Commission.

Therefore, it is appropriate to extend the investigation period for six months, in order to carry out the pending proceedings.

FIFTH.- The repeated failure to comply with the International Rogatory Commission addressed to the Virgin Islands on July 28, 2023, prevents the continuation of the investigation of the case.

"Telegram" was requested to report on certain technical data that would allow the identification of the owners of the accounts used for the infringement of the intellectual property rights of the entities represented as Private Accusation. The lack of collaboration from the authorities of the Virgin Islands, who are only asked to carry out communication activities from those responsible for the TELEGRAM social network, means that the precautionary measures requested by the private accusations must be adopted.

This repeated commission of the crime against intellectual property rights justifies the adoption of the precautionary measures concerned when the principles of necessity, suitability and proportionality are met. The requested precautionary measures stand as the only possible measures in the absence of collaboration from the authorities of the Virgin Islands. There is no other type of measure that can stop the repetition of the reported events.

Ya I use Ecto which is the defacto Elixir SQL abstraction. It's heavily inspired by LINQ though only works with SQL. In any event, it also starts with FROM and I always end up writing my selects last. I've just never felt particularly annoyed writing them first in SQL (and I've written a LOT of raw SQL) I'd just do it without thinking about it. Never thought of it as a big deal.

The big problem with SQL AFAIC is its poor (really complete lack of) composability.

> Did you really read the words of a guy who has been to those death pits just to tell him he imagined them as worse than they really were??

That is not what I said at all. I said most don't have, which of course implies that some do. Many strongmen rulers are relatively bloodless and "only" target inconvenient people with prison sentences and the like, and perhaps the occasional targetted killing.

And other have genocide of some group or the other as an explicit goal, and/or have widespread killings of people with undesirable opinions.

There is a lot of variety. The idea that widespread killings are at the core of strongman rule or dictatorships is just wrong.
American failure to fund Ukraine is possibly our greatest failure in 20 years. And we've made some doozies in that time.

To take a concrete and financial tack: The alternative to funding Ukraine right now is an increase in western annual defense spending of 1% of GDP. Indefinitely.

But this is also possibly the first just war since world war 2.
I have to agree with you. I don't understand the obsession with Mars either. We evolved for millions of years to live right where we are now, if we don't mess it up first. If all of these people only had that much passion for making Earth more habitable for the long term!

I’m curious about the sociological forces that have made this sentiment common. In the 1990s, people would talk about going to Mars and the “why” question wouldn’t even come up. Obviously it’s the next milestone of human civilization.

I did this with AwesomeWM. The Lain (plugin/extension/i forget what its called in awesome) has a "centerwork" style layout that solves this exact issue.

Palo Alto and Santa Clara both have "city owned utilities". Those utilities don't produce power, they don't bring power into the cities, they may not even distribute power within the cities.

What they do do is buy power and sell it to the residents.

Thanks to 1930s laws, they get first claim on the least expensive power sources in California.

Both Santa Clara and Palo Alto "power companies" have also managed to minimize the "hey, there's a large pile of money and if we only raise rates just a bit, think of all the good that we could do."

I mention that because San Jose has started a local "utility" that doesn't have appreciably lower rates than PG&E.
Even after an asteroid impact (or major nuclear war), planet Earth would still be a much more welcoming place for human life.

Air quality on Earth would go down a bit, but there would still be air. Food supplies would be chaotic, but some crops somewhere should survive. As for severe temperature swings on a post-apocalyptic Earth, they'd probably still be easier to handle than what NASA calculates on Mars as nightly lows of -128 C.

I realize that colonizing far away places is what Earthlings do. (Columbus, Cecil Rhodes, etc.) But the lets-go-to-Mars crowd strikes me as an extreme manifestation of Dunning-Kruger

Vinyl records employ RIAA equalization [1] to attenuate the bass when mastering. As mentioned, this is to keep the needle from literally jumping out of the groove during playback of low frequencies. A phono-preamp is generally the way you reverse the RIAA equalization, recover the bass, when listening.

>Build more nuclear!!

The private sector is uninterested in such long term ROI so "building more buclear" would require a major expansion of public investment. Would you support that? If so, the next question is whether that investment is delivered to the private sector as a subsidy or whether the infrastructure will be built and maintained publicly, because the former has a terrible track record while the latter has shown great historical success (France, Germany, and even the US) but is not in the imaginations of the current ruling class. What do you prefer?
I had to get one of these recently. (And thankfully, I am done with the government for a while.) If you want a process that will make you believe "wow, we have too much bureaucracy in this country", then get a PIV card. By the end, I thought I was definitely just being strung along in some sort of eternal joke, and had started joking that the reward for completing forms was more forms.

So many forms. Randomly imposed, arbitrary deadlines that were utterly impossible. (And … not really deadlines, since you can just email and say a polite "how about no" & magic extensions happen.) Forms that were submitted by encrypting them into a zip, and then sending zip+password in an email…?

The person who fingerprinted me was royally annoyed at me for showing up with all the materials their office had told me to show up with, but not having the materials that I wasn't told to show up with. (And that I wasn't "in the system" — okay. I'm new! I don't know why that is, nor who to ask, nor what 98% of the acronyms mean.)

You want to stop being a contractor, and give the PIV card back? More forms.

I started jokingly wondering when signatures in blood happen.

Definitely wasn't worth it, in my case.
Sure, lower levels will change, but instead of the chaos above they’ll just continue to simulate upper levels in perfect order (even if different).

Edit: putting some effort to be more precise (though I may be on the wrong track): since the period of the pattern is 35328, it depends at which tick we introduce the change. Since we're changing a cell at a certain level N it makes sense to consider tick 1 out of 35328 for level N-1 (zooming in).

If we introduce a change at any other tick (out of the 35328), what we are really doing is a big change in level N-1 rather than a single cell change in level N.
I don’t know, it seems like planning on mitigating/averting an asteroid is a much easier engineering problem to solve compared to establishing a self-sustaining civilization on an otherwise inhospitable planet.

Yes, the tape drive is something I am very happy that I ended up doing.

I have two LTO-6 tape drives. They only connect via SAS, which is a little annoying, but I bought a 2-port used SAS card on ebay for $20. I ended up buying a pack of like 100 LTO-6 tapes on eBay two years ago for a steal, like $150 in total. Each tape is 2.5TB, so I can pretty easily back up my movies. Each movies is written to two separate tapes. I keep a spreadsheet of which tape every movie lives, in case I need to restore a specific backup.

I would really like to get an LTO-7 or LTO-8 drive with Thunderbolt, but they cost an arm and a leg even used on eBay right now. If you get lucky, an external SAS LTO-6 drive can be had for about $200-$300.

It's a slightly expensive up-front cost I'll admit, however, it came after I was using Google archive storage, and when I did a restore of 21TB of movies, the next day I had a bill for like $700!

It's saved my ass one time thus far; I accidentally broke my ZFS RAID and lost everything, but fortunately I was able to restore all my blu-ray rips from tape, and it was pretty easy, and more importantly, didn't cost me anything extra.

If you decide to go down this road, I do recommend getting one that has support for LTFS; otherwise you're going to be stuck using tar commands I think.

After 4, Herbert’s wife passes away and he takes up with his much younger editor. From then on, the books get significantly hornier. YMMV.

They're special forms in a language where functions are something which eagerly evaluates its arguments.

In a language where functions don't do that, they're just functions. Rye appears to be one of those languages. One could quibble about whether that's the right thing to call them, but if we say they're vau or whatever, "everything in Rye is a vau" is still true. I think calling them functions is reasonable though.

I remember watching The Duke's of Hazzard in the 80s, which I enjoyed, but I was simultaneously disgusted by the Confederate flag on the General Lee, the Dodge Charger which the Duke boys drove (and named after an infamous American traitor).

It can be hard to know where the line should be drawn. But, I do think the line should be drawn somewhere.

This is unsurprising - though heating and cooking require a significant amount of energy even in the modern day, they only account for 23% of global energy usage (https://www.iea.org/reports/renewables-2019/heat). The largest energy user is transportation (35%) followed by manufacturing (20%) (https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/largest-end-u...), neither of which were probably much of a factor in the pre-industrial world.

Re Stability AI: Why bother selling 15% for $100?
Apparently Cyrus was unaware of the AI art technology but why bother selling shares if you're only going to get $100? Why not walk away and keep them in case something happens?

"Cyrus Hodes is a tech entrepreneur and co-founder of Stability AI, known for its AI image generator Stable Diffusion. Hodes co-founded the company with CEO Emad Mostaque in 2020. He alleges that Mostaque deceived him into selling his 15% stake in Stability AI for $100, just months before the company reached a valuation of $1 billion, which would have made his shares worth over half a billion dollars."

Thanks for the response. Are there other studies that have tried to find this number?
IMO, storage is an implementation detail that should be handled up the chain (by your tool or third-party service), rather than by you.

In the Upwork example, screenshots are already encrypted and only accessible behind authenticated flows in their site/app; can be deleted manually (e.g. after you've been paid and don't need them for liability reasons); and automatically delete after some period of time otherwise (6mo or 1 year IIRC).

There are probably plenty of other time-tracking tools that give you more fine-tuned control over the privacy of your screenshots if you want that, but I can't imagine it's something most freelancers want to spend much time on.

That seems like a bit of a leap. I mean, the quantities are very small and so far as I know no one has seriously claimed that eating Brie or Camembert is bad for you (or at any rate that it's any worse than eating any other cheese).

Lots of foods are at least slightly bad for you -- some of them much worse than Brie or Camembert -- but I would still consider it unfortunate if (say) chocolate or bacon or cream became unavailable.

But are they prolific due to speed or consistency? I think consistency plays the bigger role.

Stephen King writes about 1,000 words per day, consistently. Some other writers may do much more in a single day, but are more sporadic, “when inspiration strikes.”

Eminem has been prolific and is well known for his writing. I read an account from Akon working with Eminem in the stupid where he said Eminem treats music like a job. He shows up in the morning, works, takes his lunch break, works, and is done at 5pm. He’s showing up consistently, and he’s writing constantly, most of which will never been seen.

Jerry Seinfeld also famously wrote a joke every single day, not breaking the streak.

With this much practice, it would make sense that they’d get faster of time, but someone who is slow and consist will be much more prolific throughout the course of a lifetime, than someone who is fast, but inconsistent.
Without reading the article admittedly, but probably because it’s social science which intrinsically suffers from the replication crisis. Fun book - but replicable?

I think there is more competition across the database space now than back when the SQL spec was less complex (say, in 1989 with SQL-89).

Also, much complexity in the spec comes from complex features; I really like grouping sets and window functions, and sure, that adds complexity; but it does allow users to express certain concepts that allow the database to more efficiently process data than sending everything to the user and letting the user solve the computations.
Okay but they have sent billions as far as I know which makes the original comment not really make any sense.

Keep in mind, CO2 is the basis of life on this earth, as carbon-based organisms. It's not the molecule itself that is a pollutant, it's the dosage.
All life seeks to explore, because adaptation is essential to continued survival. Mars is a laboratory for us to see if we can thrive outside our home world.

If there's two things the universe teaches us, it's that (1) our little corner is cosmologically not very special, and (2) extremely terrible and instantly fatal disasters are not rare on long enough timescales — rogue planets, asteroid impacts, gamma ray bursts, and so on.

These are all happening _somewhere_ and it's only a matter of time before it happens to us. It doesn't mean that terrestrial concerns (wage inequality, the housing crisis, racism, war, et cetera) aren't important to address. It means we need to take _both_ timescales into account.
