Imagine if all beneficiaries in corporations had to be publicly known. That means all shareholders, and by extensions all holders of mutual funds, &c (since they hold shares in a trust and the trust holds shares in the corporation, they are the ultimate beneficiary, &c) and thus all participants in retirement funds, &c.

It would mean no privacy for anyone.
>Cigarettes are already legal despite killing 7x as many in the US as all opioids combined every day, week, month, and year.

That's because they do it after at least decades of use and for a much smaller percentage (if opioids were used by the same number of people, we'd be knee-deep on corspes in the streets), and they don't affect nowhere near as much (if at all) the general functioning or mental health of their users.

Even the average user's health is not really that affected, unless they get C after decades of use. There are much worse offenders (like eating and a sedentary lifestyle).

I didn't claim that the "the IDF was careful to protect civilians by eg destroying empty building". I made no particular observation about the IDFs efforts or lack thereof to protect civilians.

I'm claiming many of the destroyed buildings have been empty. This really has nothing to do with the article. I'm addressing the parent's logic/argument. There have been many examples of buildings destroyed while empty, for example to make up the new boundary area Israel has created from the border. The attempt to calculate casualties via the number of destroyed buildings is a very poor methodology. Your statement and mine are not mutually exclusive- it's possible the IDF targeted buildings that had many civilians in them to get at one target. I don't know the demographics of those civilians. I don't know whether what happened in the early days of the war continued throughout the war. I would agree that early in the war Israel very likely accepted a larger number of civilian casualties to get at Hamas targets. I think the new thing potentially in this article is questioning the degree to which the targets were valid military targets.
Sure, I can accept that because it is a concept fundamentally at odds with civilization.
My best guess at what happened (based on a little knowledge of HFS+ disk structures, but not APFS) is that the journal file also filled up, and since deletion requires writing to it and possibly expanding it, you get into the unusual situation where deletion requires, at least temporarily, more space.

macOS continued to write files until there was just 41K free on the drive.

I've (accidentally) ran both NTFS and FAT32 to 0 bytes free, and it was always possible to delete something even in that situation.

Digging around in forums, I found that Sonoma has broken the SMB/Samba-based networking mount procedure for Time Machine restores, and no one had found a solution. This appears to still be the case in 14.4.

In my experience SMB became unreliable and just unacceptably buggy many years ago, starting around the 10.12-10.13 timeframe; and now it looks like Apple doesn't care about whether it works at all anymore.

I hate to think what people without decades of Mac experience do when confronted with systemic, cascading failures like this when I felt helpless despite what I thought I knew and all the answers I searched for and found on forums.

I don't have "decades of Mac experience", but the first thing I'd try is a fsck --- odd not to see that mentioned here.

If I were asked to recover from this situation, and couldn't just copy the necessary contents of the disk to another one before formatting it and then copying back, I'd get the APFS documentation (https://developer.apple.com/support/downloads/Apple-File-Sys...) and figure out what to edit (with dd and a hex editor) to get some free space.

Long-term opiate use can really mess up your bowels. Matthew Perry nearly died of a perforated colon a couple years before he finally died from other drugs.
So a little bit of control early on (at the doctor stage) would have cut the head off this particular dragon then.
In an otherwise well written and accessible article, I found the naming of example nations gratuitous:

> some researchers believe only a nation with formidable hacking chops, such as Russia or China, could have attempted it.

… or the US, UK, Israel, Germany, France, Canada, Australia, DPRK, Japan, etc, and the security offence companies that work as a supply chain for such nations in provision of embedded exploits.

It’s based on very weak logic, but perhaps “Jia Tan” rules out China.
> once this costs nearly-the-same as methane

Problem #1 is finding people to pay for it until then.

Problem #2 is that this will make fore expensive energy at the end, efficiency being one problem and capital cost of those idle gas turbines being another. We'll have to wait and see if these ever plan any role beyond a demonstration project or two, but I'm skeptical it'll compete on price.

Yes but the issue is we almost always encounter & have to remove lots of natural underground methane to get to the oil below it.

If the oil drills lose incentive to sell the methane off, they just burn it on site as waste. Horrible I know.

So synthetic methane also needs to reduce crude oil demand I’m thinking.
Cigarette users don't nearly always spiral into behaviors that are both self-destructive, heartbreaking to family, and sometimes violently criminal toward the innocent bystanders nearby.
It doesn't. It's just that the people cutting cocaine, MDMA etc. with fentanyl aren't doing so in the most accurately calibrated settings.

The argument was that the drug problem was caused by prohibition, but obviously that wasn’t the whole of it. The argument that the public should pay a bunch of money to deal with drug problems is a different argument.
Because street fentanyl is currently illegal, it has zero quality control, and people wind up dead taking doses that they didn't intend. Because it contaminates other drugs, people who don't intend to take fentanyl sometimes wind up dead from it.

We would be better off if people could purchase drugs legally from places that have stringent quality control so doses could be properly controlled.
You know where an overwhelming majority of it originates, correct?

Because we simultaneously give people the freedom to do whatever they want to do, and also catch them when they suffer the consequences of their actions. IMO, you either have freedom and responsibility, or control and care. I'd be ok legalizing drugs tomorrow if non-drug users do not need to subsidize the care for drug users.

No thermodynamics. Like usefulness. Electricity can be uses for a lot of things. a mass heated to 50c is not, relatively, as useful. Plus low temp waste heat is abundant eg: from computing, or refrigeration, or exhaust pipes of engines.

The author might have had better luck by using an external storage device to boot the Mac and delete unneeded files on the internal disk from there:

Use an external storage device as a Mac startup disk https://support.apple.com/en-us/111336

Was surprised to learn that with Apple silicon-based Macs, not all ports are equal when it comes to external booting:

If you're using a Mac computer with Apple silicon, your Mac has one or more USB or Thunderbolt ports that have a type USB-C connector. While you're installing macOS on your storage device, it matters which of these ports you use. After installation is complete, you can connect your storage device to any of them.

* Mac laptop computer: Use any USB-C port except the leftmost USB-C port when facing the ports on the left side of the Mac.

* iMac: Use any USB-C port except the rightmost USB-C port when facing the back of the Mac.

* Mac mini: Use any USB-C port except the leftmost USB-C port when facing the back of the Mac.

* Mac Studio: Use any USB-C port except the rightmost USB-C port when facing the back of the Mac.

* Mac Pro with desktop enclosure: Use any USB-C port except the one on the top of the Mac that is farthest from the power button.

* Mac Pro with rack enclosure: Use any USB-C port except the one on the front of the Mac that's closest to the power button.
So by that logic can anyone who is not a homeless orphan with nothing to their name be self made? Even then, they'd probably get disqualified if a passer by took pity on them and bought them a free meal.
That would definitely be a more accurate/literal interpretation of what the xkcd comic meant.

But I think this holds up in the spirit of it, which is that core open source contributors / maintainers keep things afloat despite a shocking lack of resources or investment by the companies that benefit from it. (Notwithstanding the fact that Freund is employed by Microsoft.)

A lot of people are taking fentanyl thinking it's something else. It's pervasive in the drug supply. Kids who are being served ads for ketamine on social media are buying street K (obviously with a confidence boost from the advertising big tech allows) and boom, fentanyl. People who have been prescribed xanax, and got a little addicted and then buy it on the street because the pharmacist and doctor are onto their misues... It's not as simple as calling it an opiate thing, and even then, opiate addicts in my book deserve to like live. We have to rethink our approach to drugs, because this isn't the same game as even a decade ago. I think legalizing and deshaming to the point of exhaustion makes sense, but I'm not sure my thought is right.
I don't think it's a fuck off message at all. That would be just "fuck off". Why encourage recruiters if you didn't want to deal with them?

To me it says "don't just shotgun me with every rando candidate you have - I'll give you one chance, make it count". It's exactly the sort of thing you might say to a pushy recruiter you met at the bar who wants in to your business. To succeed, they must a) have a good candidate and b) understand your business (so they know that candidate is right for you).

And I'd say there's an enormous difference between what a software engineer does (spend months or years designing and implementing a system that is for a single "customer") to what a recruiter does (spend 1 hours of conversations/emails in qualifying a candidate who can be shopped out to any of a number of customers.).

If you mounted the disk on another machine, I suspect in this situation the filesystem was so full that you'd get the same error when trying to delete, like what the author here encountered when booting into Recovery OS.

The only solution is to copy all the files you want to keep to another (not full) disk, then reformat and copy them back, or if you don't have another disk to copy to, somehow edit the disk directly to "manually" free some space.
I see the appeal of simply killing every drug dealer, smuggler, and producer. I expect it would be a net improvement in lives saved.

But I don't trust our governments to administer such a policy justly. I think the false-positive execution rate would be more than I could stomach.

Single Vote Separates Elected Officials
The recount cost is ridiculous. Why hasn’t there been cheaper voter-tech created?
No, it doesn't; but it turns out that you end up with a much poorer society without it. The king did not come up with incorporation merely to amuse the incorporators; it was to tax them and take loans from them, and that's because there was enormous economic activity they could undertake once there was a liability shield.
Also the blog post by OWASP was discussed here a couple days ago:

Is there any way they could guard against selection bias here? We don't know what percent of lethal dose exists in pills that weren't confiscated, how likely is it that they're disproportionately picked up those most likely to be selling the worst drugs?
I was the same way when I was young, then I found out about books going out of print and then later, library book sales, and then even later, about librarians actively culling their book collections to make room for newer books.
If you think society has an obligation to you to give you a cradle to grave safety net (and I do), then you have to accept the reciprocal responsibility of maintaining yourself as a productive member of that society. It’s antisocial in a very specific sense of the term—reducing your capacity to take care of someone else who might need the help for reasons outside their control.
Thanks for this. Hate click baits.
How many people feel great about their heroin habit?
The flip side of being "exempt" is that you still get the salary even if you actually work very little. Last time I got into the legal language of the classification (May 2020, as we were facing furloughs), I remember that it basically said (paraphrase) "an exempt employee is entitled to the full agreed-upon salary for any week of work in which any work takes place", meaning if everything you're responsible for was working just fine and all you did that week was send one or two relevant emails, then you'd "earned your keep"

I generally appreciated this (as opposed to tracking hours) since I was in a sysadmin-like role and outside of some truly busy weeks of deployments or migrations, there was really not much to do. (A friend joked, reassuringly, at times when I found this distressing: "You're basically on retainer.")
When a country is run by literal terrorists, there are no figures that can be trusted. I'm not sure why that's difficult to understand. How many did Hamas themselves kill because they tried to leave an embattle area because Hamas wanted to use them as human shields?? You want to blame Israel for everything, but HAMAS IS THE PROBLEM.

Without Hamas using the entire country as a staging ground for terrorism (and continuing to do so), none of this would have happened.
If they didn't incorporate, we'd all be much poorer.

Yeah it's somewhere near half a million people per year in the US die from diseases caused by cigarette smoking. Fent's body count last I checked was like 77,000.

Whether they are a fair comparison I'm not sure. It might be more accurate to say that while fentanyl can kill you, cigarettes make you live less long, rather than to say they kill you. No one drops dead from lighting a cigarette. Meanwhile, if it weren't for unreliable dosing due to black market pressures, I'm not sure regular, reliably dosed opiate usage would kill you slow the way cigarettes do.[citation needed] Anecdotally, I've noticed that ex junkies often look ten years younger than they have any right to.
I'm so curious about this too. I've done this with ext2 and ext3 in the past and truncating a large file solved the problem if rm wouldn't. It's been long enough I don't remember so specifically though, but certainly wasn't "dd to larger disk and grow the partition" to the rescue.

If it was a journal issue would something akin to using an initramfs (or live environment) and mounting with data=writeback enable removing files? Or maybe APFS doesn't support that?
Some people say we should legalize drugs and then spend billions on drug addiction treatment, because somehow people should feel free to try and get addicted to drugs, because society will pay the bill to make them better afterwards? Either people should take responsibility for their own actions, or we should disallow the actions, I’m not sure how allowing the actions without personal responsibility for the consequences was ever going to workout from a moral hazard standpoint.

The problem with local approaches to dealing with the homeless crisis is that the better you do, the worse your problem becomes. Portland doesn’t just grow homeless on trees, they have one of the busiest greyhound stations in the country, and everyone else is just so much at dealing with the problem.

>The fact that it hides the actual drives makes me think that this is all intentional to have users unlearn (or not learn, if young) how HDs work and bill for that juicy cloud storage.

Isn't that just the standard nix filesystem view abstraction leaking into the rest of the OS? Your file system could be any number of drives (or no drives at all) mounted at arbitrary points. Showing them like they are any relevant place to start for most users seems silly. Especially given that in a modern nix OS, almost everything in the top level of `/` is useless to users.
I had this happen to me, though I can’t recall how I fixed it.

In general I’ve had good success with Time Machine. I, too, have lost TM volumes. I just erased them and started again. Annoying to be sure but 99.99% of the time don’t need a years worth of backups.

The author mentioned copying the Time Machine drive. I have never been able to successfully do that. Last time I tried I quit after 3 days. As I understand it, only Finder can copy a Time Machine drive. Terrible experience.

That said, I’d rather cope with TM. It’s saved me more than it’s hurt me, and even an idiot like me can get it to work.

I did have my machine just complain about one of my partitions being irreparable, but it mounted read only so I was able to copy it, and am currently copying it back.

I don’t know if this is random bit rot, or if something is going wrong with the drive. That would be Bad, it’s a 3TB spinning drive. Backed up with BackBlaze (knock on wood), but I’d rather not have to go through the recovery process if I could avoid it.

Problem is I don’t know how to prevent it. It’s been suggested that SSDs are potentially less susceptible to bit rot, so maybe switching to one of those is a wise plan. But I don’t know.

I was just joking about how Macbook drives are not replaceable but some replies on this thread have potential real solutions, which is awesome. I forgot you could attach two Macs during the boot process, which is usually used when you are setting up the new computer and copying files but could be used to fix the broken one too. That's another possible fix, buy a new one with twice the disk space and transfer files on setup?
