> and I haven't been able to find information on whether they were uniformed

Why the obsession with the uniform? If the institution we have today was suddenly replaced with one that had all the same powers but no uniform, would that be a substantially different institution?

It feels like you included it in the definition mostly in order to more effectively exclude all pre-modern police forces.

For the moment, they are in the breaking phase.
Depending on where you live, Starlink might be a better offering. They do have IPv6. If you just want to play with IPv6 but don't want to change providers, you can rent e.g. a Hetzner VM in the USA, setup wireguard/ IPsec tunnel to it with IPv4 underlay and use it to access the IPv6 internet. It has 20 TB/ month of traffic which should be enough for most testing/ learning.
Not in an EV, anyway. In ICEV (especially turbocharged), the scenario is at least plausible, since that’s how you preload the drivetrain, spool the turbo, etc. It’s not strictly for track, either – my wife’s Mazda CX-9 has a turbo inline-4 that is gutless until boost (which comes on blessedly low, to be fair). If you need to jump out into traffic from a side street or the like, it’s much safer to perform the above so there isn’t a huge delay between driver input and meaningful response.
You keep making low effort comments that add nothing to the conversation. What are you trying to accomplish?

How do Spotify Codes work? (2020)
I let myself focus on pain as just a sensory signal, like pressure or a focused sense of touch.

By completely welcoming the pain signal as information I can often quiet the discomfort component.

I assume that since pain functions by being a signal to avoid, completely reversing the avoidance interferes with its normal function - in a good way. Would love to know how that was actually playing out in my circuits

You seem to think that the choice is acceptable because "it works fine in Emacs". Language design decisions should not be based on the choice of editor. Indeed Google's own examples are not syntax-highlighted. And offsets won't do the job either: Google also recommends that lines not be longer than 100 characters, which makes it rather hard to guarantee that inline comments be offset by very much.

Is that how some launch control systems work in automobiles?

On the day-to-day I agree its probably not common but I also am not sure I would want a system that decides to not apply acceleration. Too many edge cases in the real world to try and determine what the user would want. Not bad UX but very bad hardware design/QC for having a pedal cover that is just attached with some clips

So they took the design choices of a Citroen CX? Only with the indicators in a variable position instead of next to the wheel for added difficulty of using it.
It's so strange, now others can see my post as well. The title of the post is: 'Why it's difficult to utilize the elasticity of the public cloud?'.

Laws and enforceability are intrinsically linked.

If you have non-omniscient enforcement, there's a certain amount of lubrication between the law and reality.

If you have omniscient enforcement, the onus is on the law to account for reality.
It is even getting worse, valve, willingly on not, is using it's domination of this market to force into a specific configuration the elf/linux distros (you better have an "expected" output of the glibc /sbin/ldconfig, some libs and modules exactly at the right locations and with the right symlinks), and forces some significantly expensive technical components beyond video game core system interfaces (bash, user/mount linux kernel namespace, niche gnu-only options of commands,etc).

Yes, this is mostly bad (msft grade), they should fix all of this. The guys who did that clearly where not the right ones, evil or with an accute lack of perspective and/or experience. First they have to follow ELF specs and certainly not expected "only some ELF specs in some specific way". They should provide clean (10 years old version names, libdl-ing system interfaces, static libgcc, static libstdc++, leave as much as possible of ELF static TLS slots to the system) ELF binaries and depends only on video game core system interfaces: Expecting bash from the user system, certainly not, they could expect a simple SH interpreter and no more (debian dash, busybox ash, etc). They could distribute their statically linked bash interpreter, as they are already distribute a gigantic part of a full elf/linux distro now (their "runtimes").
And this legacy opengl 32bits code... come on, they removed it from macOS, why elf/linux user have to suffer from it (that's actually fishy).

Hope valve leaves msft grade mediocrity behind at some point, because for the moment it looks like 1 step forward and 10 steps backward.

Oh and video game core system interfaces are:
- wayland (code is static in binaries), fallback to x11 (libdl-ing x11 xcb libs).
- libxkbcommon-x11 if x11, libxkbcommon if wayland surfaces are using xkb.
- vulkan (libdl-ed by design), fallback to opengl (libdl-ed) fallback to CPU rendering.
- libasound (alsa-lib) for sound.
- linux /dev/input/eventXX device nodes for joypad support.

More than that is too excessive and not reasonable.
I also did something in dotnet that was a half baked visual media player. Had seek, pause, dynamic resizing, and a frame buffer all implemented, but it was a super naive representation. It was neat to be able to save frames of a movie as ascii text to a text file with or without ansi escape sequences to even view later on a machine without the app.

rocBLAS/hipBLAS are pretty solid. You're on the money with AMD's implementations of LAPACK not being up to snuff, though.
Assuming anyone can send a DHCP request and the IPs handed out by the DHCP server are added to the allowlist, what does your audit data look like? Something like:

2024-04-16 12:15:01 ac:de:48:00:00:01 uses address 192.168.2.255 for the next 72 hours

or is there more to it?

Regardless, you _can_ tell clients to _not_ use SLAAC, and you _can_ tell clients to use DHCPv6 to obtain addresses.

If you use the DHCPv6 server to control an allowlist then some clients who ignore the second request will be unable to use your network, but that's a problem for Android users. :)
Isn't launch control starting from start though? This incident sounds like they were already driving.
You can see an image of it here [1]. The indicators are on the left inside of the wheel. Now you can imagine depending on how far you are locking your wheel, how difficult it might be to find those buttons.

> If a crime was committed, why wasn't it disclosed?

It IS disclosed for the involved and accused parties. It is NOT disclosed to Twitter, who is not an involved party. Therefore, the information do not concern Twitter.

> They even notified Rumble, which has no office in Brazil. Does the Brazilian Supreme Court jurisdiction cover the whole world?

They can notify anyone. They can punish only those under their jurisdiction.

> What crimes? You still have not listed a single one.

Hate speech, spread disinformation about elections, irregular political propaganda, threatening other people, trying to abolish the rule of law...

> And you can’t, because the political actions of the court are being done under secrecy. In fact, even the defense attorneys do not know, because the case files are being kept from them.

Where is the source or proof of this information? Far right groups on social media? There are secrecy when there is an ongoing investigation. When people is criminally accused, they have the required information for defend themselves.

> The left has practiced similar acts of vandalism multiple times, but when the left does it it’s not a coup attempt, it’s a “fight for rights and democracy”

Whataboutism which do not even make sense. The linked protest had not the objective of abolishing the rule of law.

> You keep forgetting that this inquiry preceded the events of January 8th, so by simple logic, those events cannot be used as justification for the inquiry.

January 8th did not happened randomly, happening from thin air. There was an ongoing coup attempt happening since much earlier.

> Some people were arrested far away from the vandalism site, while peacefully protesting, with no formal accusation and are still in jail. Uber drivers who were taking people to the protests were arrested. Street sellers who were selling Brazilian flags at the day were arrested. Children were sent to jail with their parents. Even fucking dogs were sent to prison.

You took this from far right groups in social media? Children or dogs cannot be arrested. When needed, children are sent to public institutions to take care of them if her parents committed crimes like trying to abolish the rule of law in a coup. Any relative can then ask to take care of them.

"It's extremely rare for someone to want to brake while keeping the foot fully pressed on the accelerator, and then want to accelerate fast moments later. "

It can happen in near accident situations. First slow down, then after seeing the reaction of the other vehicle, accelerate in a different direction. I wouldn't want to confirm a touchscreen in that situation.

While what you're describing is a bad model when you want independent review, its exactly how many (all?) of our federal oversight agencies work.

The FAA, USDA, NTSB, etc all regulate industry by quite often asking the industry what regulations are needed and how to enforce them. Its common for industry to even be expected to enforce regulations on themselves, leaving us with situations like Boeing.
This is neat thank you for sharing this, Greg

Huh, OK!

I'm surprised that there would be significant evaporation loss in a pot with a close-fitting lid for 20 minutes on low heat. If you heated the water on its own I wouldn't expect a large amount to boil off... Although now I say that, I'm not so sure, maybe I should run that experiment.

I would have guessed the imprecision of 'knuckle depth' being uncalibrated with the volume of rice and the size of the pot would be greater than the imprecision of a pure volume ratio due to evaporation, but I can see that the knuckle depth thing might make sense if you're always cooking roughly the same amount of rice in roughly the same size of pot.

I've had good success cooking rice by the 2:1 ratio in both large and small amounts in various pots, so I'm still happy to vouch for that method.
On dumb monitors, the EDID information is on a tiny flash chip. My previous employer accidentally shipped a monitor where we (actually our CM, which we failed to catch) failed to disable writes, so the computer could actually overwrite it. Fortunately, this rarely happens, but we did get some reports of it happening - possibly due to a dodgy connection (you shouldn't treat data flowing over any unpluggable cable as 100% reliable, including the 'this is a read' bit ).

Technically True.

But there was an optional registry key that prevents the user from doing anything until after you were logged into the network. So practically, it was a login dialog.

But still no security.
Nor would I to, to be honest. That’s not the convention for mobile. I’d probably be confused if it were there.

The elasticity of the public cloud mainly manifests in the user's ability to use its resources on demand. When you need more resources to support the workload, you can quickly purchase resources; when you no longer need these resources, you can release them immediately. The elasticity of the public cloud mentioned in the article mainly refers to its ability to provide resources to users on demand.

> IPv6 provides no benefit to end users

The benefit to end users is that the whole internet protocol stack finally disappears into the fully transparent realm it belongs. End users should not have to mess with IP addresses at all; IPv6 makes it possible to have devices that really just work, in the literal sense: They acquire addresses on their own, they negotiate on their own—ideally, you just don't need to care about that part of connectivity at all, ever again.

It brings complexity for network operators, sure—but that's where the complexity belongs!

Edit: I just wish DNS would follow suit, somehow, and everything just got names automatically. That's a whole different problem, however.

It's incessant for me; a significant part of one of my frequent routes is on the service-drive that parallels a major freeway, after taking an exit, but prior to diverging. Depending on traffic, though, it may also be advantageous to stay on the freeway, so both are valid parts of the route.

If Waze instructs me to take the exit, then it assumes I'm on the service drive, even if GPS says I'm still on the freeway. And vice-versa, more problematically -- if I impulsively take the exit, it assumes I'm still on the freeway even if GPS clearly shows I'm on the service drive.

(I can confirm this by running a spare laptop with a USB GPS as a logger, while my iPhone runs Waze. Overlay the GPX on a map later and it's super obvious whether I took the exit or not, but either the Apple location provider or Waze staunchly ignores reality in favor of obsessive road snapping.)

Where this gets stupid is, if there's a traffic jam on the freeway and I dip onto the exit to avoid it, now Waze sees me flowing freely down the service drive, assumes that it's the freeway that's flowing freely, and disbelieves other users who report traffic there. Even as the service drive curves and diverges and I follow the curve, it doesn't retroactively say "Oh jeez, he must be on the service drive after all, adjust the previous data to apply to the service drive and not to the freeway!". So the bad data continues to corrupt the traffic picture and encourage other users to get stuck in traffic they can't report.
I'm not a network guy, so I appreciate this write up.

I've been working in a few different areas of IT for the past 19 years, and IPv6 has always been present in conversations with colleagues, but it seemed to me like it was always some kind of meme, or something too farfetched to be taken seriously... Even today when I try to deploy a VM somewhere (Linode, Vultr, etc) IPv6 is the unticked boxed at the end of the page...

Are we anywhere close force-adoption? is this something that can even happen at this point? Is the complete depletion of IPv4 address-space the only driver for change?
FWIW many car manufacturers have had almost this exact same problem. Toyota had to recall hundreds of thousands[1] of vehicles for this issue. My '19 rav4 didn't come with floor mats because the dealership didn't want to take the risk.

Using the courts, rather than electoral politics, is nothing new. In the US, Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) occurred because Plessy, a mixed-race man, deliberately boarded a train to challenge the validity of Louisiana's Separate Car Act of 1890. He lost the case, resulting in racial segregation laws that lasted for another 60+ years.

Doing so is not "lawfare". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawfare describes it as "the use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual's usage of their legal rights".

> the conflict that arises when judicial review contradicts an expressed majority will

The majority of voters is not the same as the majority of the affected population. Switzerland famously did not grant suffrage to women at federal level until the early 1970s, and the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden didn't grant women the right to vote on local issues until 1991 after the federal court decision ordering them to change.

What does democracy mean if the courts can override the popular will of the voters and allow women to vote?

And, what do "experts" have to do with any of this? The courts have long looked to experts to make decisions. Does the author really want to toss out forensics and other expert witnesses?
