> They are entitled to that presumption until evidence emerges otherwise.

Why is only one side “entitled to that presumption”? In most common law countries, including both the US and UK, there is a presumption of innocence when someone faces an accusation, their guilt must be proven with evidence.

You are providing heavier weight and benefit to one claim over the other, and that weight is going towards an accusation that presents no substantive evidence. That’s your prerogative, but it is philosophically misaligned with a fact-based approach to the law.

You are mistaken that this was not libel in the US. Even in the US, the law and precedent is clear, you cannot go around claiming someone is guilty of a crime they’re not convicted of, actively seek to prevent them from being employed, and explicitly cause their dismissal from their means of livelihood. That establishes clear damages, and if you have no evidence to support your claim, not even the lower burden of proof that would prevail in a civil matter, you would lose if sued for libel and defamation. Once damages and either willful disregard, negligence, or malice are established, all elements are present.

I wouldn't go that far. There were certainly interactions going on between cultures in Europe and the Middle East in ancient times, and Greek culture was certainly influenced by Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Persian cultures (which are often not considered "Western"), but for example China and the Americas had no direct contact with Europe until much later and developed in isolation to each other.
If you think about it, this is one of the reasons I like macOS. Back then, buying a PC with windows meant having a lot of crap installed by default. Not sure if it's still the case because I haven't bought a PC in ages, but I remember that formatting my computer and reinstalling windows was step 1 when I was buying a brand new laptop/PC.

This is bizarre and fucked up even from Apple's standard. Did you get to know anything about it - what happened? Did those legal notices seem to be automated? Any inkling what could have triggered it (False alarm? And Apple is known to hide its incompetence in this manners)?
ATGMs or drones don't "reduce the value of tank" because there is nothing better than tanks for when you need mobile protected firepower. If you think being vulnerable in a tank sucks, try storming through a field on foot.

Tanks' value doesn't come from their invulnerability. They weren't invulnerable since WW1, if ever. Their value comes from being better than alternatives.

As for Javelins, Javelins don't need operators that have to sit still and blind, guiding their slow drones to targets. Javelins don't need dedicated operator teams, US army more or less hands them to infantry platoons as needed. Javelins don't need "infantry cover", their operators are infantry. Javelins are fire and forget, so you can shoot and immediately leave, unlike drone teams. Javelins don't require extensive training and fine skill.

The only thing Javelins don't do is first person videos. See my original point about drawing wrong conclusions from footage we get to see.

It is not a Mac limitation. Get Immersed for AVP:

You can have more ultrawide retina displays going than your neck will let you crane your head at.

Only one display needs be hardware, the others are virtual.

PS. Separately, for real displays, most likely your Intel is doing DisplayLink (and most likely not retina resolution), while the Mac is not compressing the video. The Mac can also support a slew of DisplayLink monitors if you get a DisplayLink driver. Elegato and others use the standard driver to run their monitor accessories like Elegato's teleprompter, but you can also use DisplayLink on lower end Macbooks that only support 2 or 3 uncompressed 4K+ retina screens at once as well as on certain docks that split to multiple DisplayLink screens.
You can die from getting hit by a car while stopped at a light. People wear helmets on low speed vehicles either because their personal risk assessment or the law convinces them.

Not to mention: what C++ subset to use, and how to deal with the endless discussion-circlejerks around that one topic alone.

For instance most of the C++ stdlib is useless for kernel (or embedded) development, so you end up with a C++ that's not much more than a "C with namespaces". At least Rust brings a couple of actual language improvements to the table (not a big fan of Rust, but if the only other option is C++, then Rust is the clear winner).
Why WiFi? We have 60Ghz line of sight WiGig for this kind of thing. It's 40gbps which with some compression could do 8k screens.

Besides you could use eye tracking to only transmit what's being seen in high quality.

I had the same question. If your chip can do, say, the DCT in hardware, why not just expose that unit directly to userspace? And if userspace sends invalid data to that unit, surely the kernel can just handle the fault and return an error? I must be missing something.

At any rate, it's unfortunate that entire media file formats have to run in kernel space in order to implement hardware acceleration. There's no better way to do it?
I find more bugs with a debugger. There’s typically the bug I was looking for, and then smaller bugs that didn’t technically cause the problem but contributed, and may be involved in the next issue. I want to fix those too, and sometimes first.
In Oakland, we have empty cars with weeds growing under them from sitting in the same spot for over a year. When I've asked the city, they respond that their lots are full, or that they assumed someone was living in the car, despite any evidence of the later. I remember a time when being parked in a street sweeping area, or having missing registration was immediately caught with a hefty fine. I'm curious why the city no longer feels the need for this revenue, or that laws no longer need to be enforced. It's weird for me to miss law enforcement, but there is definitely a threshold where not enforcing the laws feels more arbitrary.

On a side note, if you mark a car as abandoned in SeeClickFix, people will show up and start dismantling the car searching for parts to hock before the city shows up. Interesting times.
I'm not in the US but this is not a thing anywhere in the UK at least. Everyone uses WhatsApp. Same with all my friends in Europe. Same with my kids and their friends, although they all seem to be on SnapChat more than anything.

OK, we need to get this as an April Fools RFC for HTTP.

I propose HTTP 499 “Shame on you.” A client receiving 499 (perhaps on a request that it must have originated with a specific header like “Strict: true”) must terminate, in a language-dependent manner, the task which issued the request.

It perfectly balances the “WTF... But actually, hey” that one sees in those contexts.
>But what I have noticed is that the prices are $3-$4 more per item on the grubhub menu for a restaurant than the prices shown on the menu at the restaurant.
>
>It seems like restaurants are jacking up prices to pass on the grubhub fees to the customer.

This is exactly what they're doing. Restaurant margins are rather thin and most places can't absorb the fees Grubhub, Doordash, etc. charge. If they charge $7.50 for cheeseburger and fries,, which covers their cost and a reasonable profit; they can't pay $1 (or whatever) more when it's via a food delivery service. Grubhub (and the rest) charge the restaurant for hosting them and the customer for delivery -- they charge everyone.

Fortunately I had a backup of my playlists. Still annoying. I wonder if those kinds of things happen with spotify as well. Because once your subscription ends you're only relegated to a free account, not deleted.
How do you find they handle text? I've read a lot of complaints around colour-fringing, but I haven't had a chance to evaluate in person.
Granted I don’t know much about typing in php, but from my quick google search, it seems like they support type hints and type declarations, but the language isn’t strongly typed.

Also, to your second point, some of the largest, most critical, and most at-risk businesses on the planet (namely banks) run on COBOL, but I wouldn’t exactly describe cobol as a language that lends itself well to large orgs, it’s just entrenched. same as php and dozens of other technologies.
> This is precisely like the imaging standards trying to replace JPG. After two decades of vendors like Google trying to establish a new standard, I can’t send anything other than an SDR sRGB JPEG to anyone, especially to an Android user.

Android supports WebP since Android 4, HEIF since Android 8 and AVIF since Android 14. They are only missing JPEG XL, but to my knowledge neither iOS nor Windows support that format natively either.
Regarding interoperability and support for open formats Android/Google is way ahead of Apple or Microsoft in my experience.
Are you sure about that? The first knife was a sharp rock - what if they got banned immediately?
The kernel has to interpose at least a little bit because some of these hardware devices can read and write anywhere, so you can't just let random users sent them commands.
It reminds me of the gameboy player for the SNES, where the entire gb console ran inside the cartridge and used the snes for inputs and display. In this case a PIC controller is the cpu in the cartridge doing the heavy lifting.
The big weakness of the Dark Forest scenario, is that if the galaxy was a dangerous place, it would already have been defensively/offensively explored.

There wouldn’t be a star system with primitives like us that wasn’t identified many millions of years ago.

But for credible scenarios, your “too much smarter than us to predict” principle is a good one.

“They went into another dimension” for instance, seems fantastical. But we have no idea what millions of years of science and technology will allow.

For all we know, the re-acceleration of dark energy is the side effect of successive new civilizations harnessing the fine structure of space-time creating their own private megaverses.
Unionization is for losers. If you're not confident in your skills and your value on the market then you want to artificially restrict employment options for your potential competitors.

I got kind of curious how UDP works with CGNAT, and in my travels I found this on the Wikipedia page [1]:

> STUN does not work with symmetric NAT (also known as bi-directional NAT) which is often found in the networks of large companies. Since the IP address of the STUN server is different from that of the endpoint, in the symmetric NAT case, the NAT mapping will be different for the STUN server than for an endpoint. TURN offers better results with symmetric NAT.

Not sure if that's related or if you're even having issues, but figured I'd drop it since I found it.

As for the privacy aspect, are you CGNAT'ed? My understanding is that bidirectional UDP streams generally don't work with CGNAT unless your ISP adds a proxying service that can construct "sessions" out of those packets. E.g. for DNS, you can proxy it across the CGNAT by having the DNS proxy record the transaction ID and the internal IP/port that requested it, and then looking for that txid in UDP packets coming to the DNS relay to forward it.

The solution I usually see for getting UDP across CGNAT is TURN, but then you're making a TCP connection which can be tracked by port easily.

I just can't see any way for an ISP to proxy UDP packets without knowing which subscriber they're going to. It seems like trying to make a router route without any routing tables; I just don't see how your ISP can forward that packet to you without knowing it's going to you.

C++ even today has plenty footguns that will make code unsafe, and some of the safety comes at performance costs, or uses features that are ill-suited for the kernel.
No, it's on the PCIe bus. It sends data straight to RAM, circumventing the memory controller on the CPU.

SOME systems have write protection logic on the RAM controllers themselves, but this is not universal.

> Apparently, a lid close sensor is a major security risk - where NAND is not?

Nobody sane would ever try to design a secure system that trusted commodity NAND parts. Secure boot and encrypted storage are literally the first things to tackle when trying to secure/lock down a device against hardware-based attacks.

And isn't the lid sensor issue more a matter of calibration rather than a security measure?
Thank you for this! I've been wanting something like this for years.

Developer uses the wrong api and goes :surprised_pikachu:
Pizza and Chinese places that deliver normally either have it built into the price or charge a flat delivery fee. My local Chinese restaurant charges a flat $3 delivery fee on a minimum order -- it's $3 whether you order $15 worth of food or $50 worth. Dominos ran a promotion where they'd give you a discount if you came in and picked up the pizza; they weren't losing oney, they were just giving you the delivery cost.

>Is it possible to keep an addict satisfied with a lower tier drug?

Yes, but the person has to want to make the change, since the ‘lower tier drug’ (buprenorphine) doesn’t get them high. It just stops cravings and withdrawal symptoms, while largely blocking the effects of most other opioids.

Another benefit of buprenorphine is that it has a ceiling effect in relation to respiratory depression. For most opioids, if you take enough, you will stop breathing and die. Buprenorphine’s dose/response curve for respiratory depression and sedation turns flat after ~24mg, which makes the drug very difficult to overdose on.
Spotify does not want to charge a “30% margin”. Spotify wants to not give up 30% of their revenue to Apple, who coincidentally had a competing service effectively free from the 30% tax.

That's interesting! Before the disaster was also my second subscription. Now that you say it, some data was left. Not the playlists but some listening history. Might be that they only delete the iTunes-related stuff.

The support person on the phone also told me that everything gets deleted once the subscription ends, even when it's by mistake. Which seems to have been the case with me.

I think you have this exactly backwards. Einstein applied his intuition to find gaps in special relativity.

"A plane in 3D space can be thought of as a flat surface that stretches infinitely far, splitting space into two halves."

Fun fact - if you have the coefficients of the equation ax+by+cz+d=0 that represents your plane, you can plug any point (x,y,z) into the expression ax+by+cz+d, and the result will be positive in one half-space, and negative in the other. I think if you divide the values by sqrt(a^2+b^2+c^2), you end up with the distance from the point to the plane. Easy enough to see which half-space is which by plugging in the origin. I.e., if 'd' is positive, the origin is in the positive half.
