I'm not going to disagree with your use case here.

But I'm going to assume that you have some level of a conscious and you don't really mean you could give 3 shits about someone else's hard work so you can have some satisfaction at home. Because at face value that's exactly what you said.
that email from 2017 will still be in that sent folder, waiting for you, readable and accessible on all possible platforms and form factors, when all the latest owners of the slacks, teams, whatsapps and telegrams of the world ratshit onto their users into oblivion. Ask the ex-twitterati.
In my experience, "y'all" and "folks" outside the South had been used exclusively by liberals of any ancestry during 2010-2020. It's also only in writing, I have never heard it spoken. I figure it was perpetuated by Twitter because the usage has been on a quick decline since Twitter changed ownership.
Sure, you can do whatever you like. Cut the connection if you don't like it. But I can do whatever I like too - read the data that your machine sent me, for example. If your machine sends my machine data it's IMHO reasonable to expect that you don't care about me having it unless we agreed otherwise. But in many countries ToS is not considered a legal contract at all - just having it on your site somewhere is not enough. Sometimes not even having users check the ToS checkmark would form a valid contract.

There are many kinds of data that can't be owned at all. Actually it's the other way around - there is a very small subset of data that can be owned. You can try to cover it under some kind of a non-disclosure clause in a contract, but again - a contract would have to exist.
My experience with Meta is it is just a PII fishing expedition masquerading as a security check.

I abandoned my facebook account when they asked for my driver's license scan, a few weeks later suddenly they didn't need it after all. My BIL recently wanted me to check sout omething he had setup on facebook and I found I could "login" by clicking one of the "what are people doing" spam emails they send. I've never used it on this PC before and have no idea what the password even is anymore. Super secure.

Lab-grown insect cells could be the planet-friendly 'meat' of the future
Same story as a lot of people here. I got Lyme when I was in my early twenties. I had no bullseye rash and no evidence of a tick bite. And I lived in California which made it even more confusing.

Woke up one day with debilitating headaches (I never got headaches normally). Lasted for two weeks, doctor said I had "viral meningitis" which should clear up on its own. Coincidentally they did, and thought all is well!

Next week my elbow hurts. Then my pinky. Then my foot. Then my neck. Every day it would be a new obscure part of my body, until a month in I was in so much pain I could barely walk. For someone in their early 20s, this was debilitating.

The doctor comedy of errors continued. They said I had juvenile arthritis, which is a common misdiagnosis and an insane one considering how acutely this came on. She prescribed me steroids but I declined because I didn't trust her diagnosis (fun fact I learned later: steroids make Lyme worse and harder to treat). I got referred to a rheumatologist who likely would have continued down the same short-sighted path, but thanks to a modern medical miracle -- no appointments available for 6 months (!), that didn't happen either.

I was losing patience and time, so I started researching everything I could. I forced the doctor to run blood tests for everything possible, including Lyme, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, everything. She almost refused to give me the tests because "that's impossible! you've never had the bullseye and there are no ticks in California!" She even accidentally left the Lyme test off my lab sheet (??) which I only caught when I double checked the paperwork with a lab tech.

I was starting to lose hope thinking being nearly paralyzed would be the rest of my life.

And then the western blot came back positive.

48 hours on doxycycline and EVERYTHING disappeared. Over 3 months of debilitating pain, and all I needed was a pill of the most common antibiotic out there. Just wow.

I had to follow up with the CDC and an infectious disease specialist. So how did I get bit by a tick all the way in California? Turns out, I went camping near Boston a week before this all happened. I told the whole story to the infectious disease doctor (who grew up in the northern Midwest). His response?

"Classic Lyme"

Get tested for Lyme y'all. It's one of the most misdiagnosed infections out there. And if you have all the symptoms but test is negative and have been in nature, just take doxycycline. Not worth risking your life.
The forms used in classical architecture are way more natural than just stupid plain concrete.
Do you have any good resources for developing an intuition about the projective plane?
Hmmm after re-reading the article I think you might be correct!

> Heck, with proper supervision the kids themselves can help too. You can do open source as a beginner, you don't need to be a senior for that.

> But you need to be involved in the project and act accordingly, you don't just go and throw bricks around.

I guess I am doing it the correct way! I think the author should have also mentioned this point in the how to contribute the right way so its more obvious.
And the Latin word for border got its name from a hem stitch.
Maybe the problem was with your specific setup or applications?
Because at the observatory it worked flawlessly.
Between the local data reduction machine (beefy server) and the desktop computer in my office the same.
And I used that setup for years and it worked just fine (and I really really hate any lag or glitches).

VNC really sucked on the other hand, not being able to transparently share single windows (at least I never figured out how to), some windows would fail to refresh and I would need to drag them around to get them to redraw, copy and paste was always a pain, sometimes inputs not registering properly.

To be fair to VNC though, over the internet plain X11 forwarding really sucked (latency is the real killer here) and VNC won out there.
Unless one was using NX proxy, then it blew VNC out of the water (while using X11 on both ends).
Only RDP was somewhat on par with NX over the internet, but locally still beaten by X11.
I think there should be at least a server image but you can easily install de desktop stuff - install the one with the DE you want.

Yeah, LOL. They're trying to memory hole that one.
Yeah your right, after re-reading the article that was the point the author was trying to get across!
I haven't heard of this before, I'd be interested in learning more about how this is useful. Do you know of a good resource to read more about this?
That's moving the goalposts. Your claim was that these products don't have a market, they do.

Did you tell the first doctors you had recently been in the woods in MA?
I believe it. Verizon have a fairly extensive backbone in England and Scotland, all their own duct and chambers yet it's impossible to buy wholesale service from them, even if you're big. I wonder what it's used for :')
Why wouldn't you be able to upgrade yearly? N-1 is always supported until the next release so at worst you do a double upgrade once a year. Only 2 reboots are needed.

Anyway for personal systems I don't see the issue with upgrading every 6 months. The process isn't much different than regular updates. If you are wary of issues you can always delay the dist-upgrade of a few weeks so that any quirk not detected during beta is solved after feedback from the early adopters.

I have 2 personal laptops, one on silverblue, one on regular release with data synced. One shared laptop that is mostly used by my daughters, also on silverblue, and my professional laptop on regular fedora. I usually upgrade my 2 personal laptops on release week. The shared one however is only updated some weeks later because this is the lowest maintenance one and my professional laptop is usually upgraded the last, it usually stays in N-1 until the next release enter beta.
Maybe these architects should think, why their "well thought" experiments just look lazy designed.

What makes "quick" more respectful? Use "quick" and you'll be triggering everyone in standups every day :-)
I use web scraping to identify and monitor fraud.

Exhibit A: https://archive.ph/0ZUA8

This website is used to recruit people to set up "lead generation" Google Business Profiles and leave paid reviews.

Exhibit B: https://archive.ph/WWZuw

This is an example of the Craigslist ad used to initially attract people to the website above.

Exhibit C: https://archive.ph/wip/7Xig4

This is one of the Google Maps contributors which left paid reviews.

If you start with the reviews on that profile, you'll find a network of Google Business Profiles for fake service-area businesses connected through paid reviews.

Web scraping allows me to collect this type of data at scale.

I also use scraping to monitor the status of fake listings. If they are removed, the actor behind them will often get them reinstated. This allows me to report them again.
Since long before that.

It depends on exactly what you mean by "insulin".
Why is so much of the internet's infrastructure run by volunteers?
Failure of insurance to span pervasive damage results in federal assistance in the form of FEMA loans etc. Three or four hundred billions of dollars in the last ten years. I used them as an example of how normal insurance doesn't cover disaster, and it costs us all dearly.

I had the small producer at 1%. I'll have to look again.
If autopilot should be banned because preventable tragedies occur when autopilot is used, doesn't it follow that automobiles should be banned because preventable tragedies occur when automobiles are used?

Since cell phones themselves directly contribute to automobile-related preventable tragedies as well, shouldn't we ban cell phones too?

After all, there are zero metrics about any product or service that matter other than whether or not they cause preventable deaths.

Let's get rid of knives, the internet, all drugs (since at least some drugs cause preventable deaths), the video games, and the satanic music too if we're already going on a maternalistic, emotional banning spree of anything that has ever caused preventable deaths.
"evil", "good" are terrible words. Religious trickery to fend of questions like "what?", "why?".

Tell what you object to or what you support and why and then you can have a conversation and possibly arrive at some solutions or at least some knowledge.
That's the reason to setup 2fa, because otherwise monopolies can legally kick you. Well, they can kick you anyway, because they are monopolies.
You can easily enable IPv6 masquerading on openwrt and linux in general:

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/ipv6/ipv6.nat6

This has been available for a long time.

You can also do static NAT and anything that you were used to on IPv4.
I run a Cryptpad instance and it is okay. Cryptpad fails a little bit because you must live within Cryptpad (you have import/export documents with no automation about it). What I ended up realizing I needed had the following features:

- Encrypted syncing between machines

- I want to write using Sublime Text or LibreOffice Writer, I don't want to load up a browser as I often need to focus

- Collaboration features

The first one is made possible by setting up Syncthing on my machines. The next two are already provided by LibreOffice. The missing piece is if I want to share the document with someone. Well this is covered by email OR I have been building a small service to sit infront of my remote syncthing to allow me to set specific documents/directories as viewable. This is basically an Nginx proxy with some fancy configs.

If Cryptpad was more interoperable with retrieving documents I would use it more as a remote interface. However it's too concerned with it's own idea to ever grow in that direction. I really like the Forms you can build with it however. I often use that feature for creating invites to parties I'm hosting. In the future though my sharing program may have a form build feature and Cryptpad will be non-useful to me.

In any case YMMV.

Beamed propulsion is a farther out technology, requiring development of more powerful lasers capable of pushing a crewed vehicle in reasonable amounts of time and has the issue that it is difficult to slow down at the destination.

Nuclear rocket engines were already being developed during the cold war.

Both suffer from the irrationality that the more useful they are capable of being, the more they can be misconstrued as orbital weapons.
Please learn how the US government works before you speak of it in an authoritative manner.

1. The Federal government represents the States, the Peoples thereof are represented by each State. Note terminology such as "Congressional delegation of Pennsylvania".

2. The House of Representatives in Congress is a proportional representation of the States according to their population, with an upper limit of 435 total Representatives in the House and a lower guarantee of 1 Representative per State. The former exists for practical reasons more than anything, and the latter exists to guarantee every State will have a say in the House no matter its population.

3. Secession is not permitted by (more accurately it's not written in) the Constitution. The only demonstration of secession in US history led to the Civil War, so it's reasonable to expect that would happen again if States were to secede again.
I think there is a strong argument for the Library of Congress or some other public/quasi-public entity to archive Google Maps/StreetView data. Redevelopment has been an ongoing fact of life for much of the time I've lived in my area, and huge swathes of the landscape are nigh unrecognizable from when I was a kid. However, a lot of the way things were is preserved in that map and image data. I think this is valuable for any number of applications, let alone the basic act of grounding oneself within the fact of the change that one's environment has undergone over time. Unfortunately, for however grateful I am that Google has made all of this available to us, I don't trust them to preserve it all long-term. I don't think it would be a good idea to let it all slip through our fingers without a plan.
Sounds like a really bad UX

I think if my mom was trying to submit a form, and it opened her email client with a body consisting of URL encoded data she’d probably just close the email client thinking that something went wrong. Then she’d try again and the same thing would happen again. Then she might call me, and I’d probably tell her to just forget about it and try to call them on the phone instead or give up and try another company instead.
What I mean is I feel at home in Texas compared to feeling "foreign" in the East Coast.

Stuff like Mexican representation, large first/second gen Asian population spread out across large and small towns, the lack of WASPs and visible Old Money (SMU excluded), and an American heritage built on top of a unique culture instead of the "13 colonies" makes TX feel more at home for me than NE.

Then again, I also pass as Latino so I don't get the same stink eye that I do on the Atlantic (though in my college days I'd pass as Jewish or Italian depending on the working class neighborhood or small town I was visiting)
Why? If you need more than five forms, invent a small DSL that consumes something like a five column CSV (form element type, label, id, something, something) and craps out some PHP and SQL for you. Maybe make the layout boilerplate configurable through a bit of simple templating.
Digital Markets Act. Apple are having to hold their nose and allow alternative apps stores in the EU. AVP is their new pasture for walled-garden entertainment, so it would be risky to introduce that, especially at a time when their own app store has so little content for it.
Chrome only? That's a shame.

The point I'm making is that there's simply no evidence to suggest that Russia is interested in colonialism. It's neither in their ideological nor economic best interest - by contrast a strong and independent Africa that has good relations with them, absolutely is! Also, the US has not been in the least bit caught off guard by anything Russia has done. Here [1] is a fun cable dating back to 2008, describing in detail how NATO looking to take in Ukraine would likely lead to war.

---

"NATO enlargement, particularly to Ukraine, remains "an emotional and neuralgic" issue for Russia, but strategic policy considerations also underlie strong opposition to NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia. In Ukraine, these include fears that the issue could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene."

---

That's just one paragraph. The whole cable is an easy read, interesting, and full of evidence. But what makes that cable fun is not only how clearly it emphasizes we knew exactly what would happen, but also who wrote it. It was written by William J Burns - the current head of the CIA.

I am amused you are objecting to a technology for interstellar travel on the grounds it is "farther out", especially in the context of what hypothetical aliens that are around for millions or billions of years would be using.

We could build a 1% c starship using hydrogen bombs. But it wouldn't make much sense to build it, since in the time it would take to get to even the nearest star we'd likely have something much faster.
Agreed. your parenthetical comment explains the tension.

The only solution is to have a crystal ball.

I get the idea behind snap, flatpak, and appimage. But what I don't like is:

1.) config file locations end up all over the place depending on which you use. I like taking my .thunderbird data and just dropping it from one system to the next as one example. Snap makes that harder. Likewise for firefox - the snap version is behind as well.

2.) It solves a problem already long since solved in linux systems - package management. You still need APT or what ever the distro is built with. Two systems solving the same problem often seems like one cook too many. Hell even homebrew in macos is a pain.
Funny enough, the handful I clicked through being prominently displayed on the Readme all had their Calendlys booked solid. One even made their Calendly private.

Whoops :-)
It didn't click for me. I haven't used those words since grade school.

In addition, references will often only cite one model. For example, the title here used "Opus" which to a layman would mean absolutely nothing.

If this title was "Claude 3 Pro has stunned AI researchers...", it's becomes much clearer to me.

I'm sure the marketing person who presented this idea to the execs had slides showing explaining what an Opus, Sonnet, and a Haiku meant and everyone thought it was a good idea. But even if a small percentage of people don't understand the naming scheme, it has already failed.
I'll admit the support for my Dell was pretty good. They sent someone on-site to fix a known defect in their product line.

I went to elementary school before Twitter was a thing.

Twitter is just reflecting a common linguistic pattern found in California that most East Coasters never realized.

People who grew up west of Dallas tend to stay west of Dallas, and people who grew up east of Dallas tend to stay east of Dallas.

Plenty of Westerners (like me) never traveled to the East until college or adulthood, and it's a similar story for East Coasters.

Flight travel has historically been expensive due to the distances.
I lived there for a year (there are blocks of flats there) and I found it to be a great place to live.

It feels very pleasant once you get to know it.
Yep that was one of my justifications for wanting to get a Lyme test. Their response: "well you never had a rash and don't remember being bitten by a tick so that sounds impossible"
The blocking implementation still depends on and uses tokio, last I looked.

I've seen this with multiple Rust packages. "Yes, we offer a synchronous blocking version..." and then you look and it's calling rt.block_on behind the scenes.

Which is a pretty large facepalm IMHO
Great idea. Those Zeckenrollen are quite expensive, especially when you have a large area to cover.
I don’t think this has ever been true. There are too many things they do where they have created a market out of nothing. The general public had never paid for digital music or apps until apple created the market. Same with contactless payment from phones.

You can argue that any of these technologies existed before and they “followed”, but that’s a pretty distorted view when apple made the market - they didn’t take market share from others.
FrameMaker and Interleaf did this pretty well. And SGML-based tools, and TeX/LaTeX, of course.

The Microsoft Word way has always seemed to support styles more like they were grafted on as an afterthought, without wanting to disturb the least-knowledgeable users, to the point that knowledgeable users have to tiptoe around all the UI that breaks styles.

Yes, a reduction in yearly emissions. But that doesn't mean that the CO2 in the atmosphere suddenly disappears. We're still adding to it, just not as much as before (hopefully).

Bolt + locktite. Then refinished/repaint/treat the underlying metal to prevent future corrosion from new hole. The pedal is now in metal-to-metal contact with the pan, in a damp environment. That means differential metal issues.
Bwahaha, have fun with that. I'm sure you'd never believe and/or would be shocked that those Latino dudes hanging out in 90% of Home Depot parking lots every morning (and getting picked up by contractors) DO NOT actually have valid work authorizations and/or US Citizenship. Not usually Mexicanos though, despite the stereotype. Same with 50-90%+ of drywallers, framers, etc. at least in the US west/south (depending on exact metro area).

And as long as it isn't too big of a hot button topic at the moment, no one does anything about it either. There will be an occasional 'whack a mole' action when it does become a hot button, then it goes back to being ignored.

Since homeowners and businesses 'win' and low value blue collar labor 'loses', not likely to change either until Labor starts getting organized again.

In any trade, someone always gets something for something. Market effects, who gets what for how much, etc. are what I’m talking about.

Do you think you have a moral claim on ownership of (presumably unpaid) user-submitted information?

You damn right I do. I own, develop, and maintain the entire system that enabled the body of works to exist in the first place.

Do you think that you have a claim on ownership of the data because you drove by, saw what you liked, and decided that now you'll just rip the baton out of my hand?
