> I don't like extortion, and if I suffered acute harm due to extortion, I'd be more upset, but I still wouldn't try to claim extortion is terrorism.

That makes you an outlier.

IANAL, but in a number of jurisdictions under common law (including the United States), when a person is killed - in this example, a patient dying because of EMR corruption/unavailability - in the commission of another crime - extortion - it is considered murder under the felony murder doctrine[0].

Now, again, IANAL and the minds of judges and jurors are fickle, but it seems to me if you could prove a relationship between "Guy in Russia locks a Cerner Millennium or Epic Systems database" and "Patient who was in the hospital died because information in database could not be accessed", you could possibly convict them of murder even though they only wanted money out of it, because you could potentially convince the court that as a hacker, the person in Russia should have known that this would necessarily bring about the risk of patient harm. After all, isn't that what makes the EMR worth encrypting to them?

It's also worth noting that terrorist organizations routinely take people hostage to extract ransoms that then get used to finance their operations. The fact that the terrorist organization in this case is likely to be the Russian SVR is immaterial. They are a government under a ton of sanctions and are looking to replenish funds however they can. Cryptocurrency is incredibly useful if you're looking to evade international sanctions.

Googling it, everything I am seeing says that no part of discord is end-to-end encrypted. Do you have a source for that, I thought they were pretty adamantly against it?

I don't know that I agree with your point about data being necessary for QoS. Many of the issues I have with Discord go ignored, and I've found that more than ignorance, resources are the issue with features and reliability of open source projects.

Further I Googled around a bit to see if I could find if Discord was profitable yet, and didn't see anything suggesting it was. There were some revenue break downs, but obviously that's far from profit. I know there were lay-offs not too long ago, but I would be curious if you have evidence that their making profit.

Though it seems they've taken a number of rounds of investments [0], so if the sale of nitro and other premium services don't cover it. I would not be shocked to learn about an expansion of the "Quest" system that to be more ad like. I remember this specifically being mentioned by the CEO on the Decoder podcast.

My largest grips with Discord is how the community has adopted it as a replacement for forums, and that they have very little interest in linux support, but the former is not really their fault, and the ladder is just the reality of a lot of software.
Even beyond those gripes though, I don't know that I agree it is a paragon that won't enshitify like any other for-profit software.

How on earth do you even get training data for this? Recorded phone sensor outputs that are known for certain to be the result of validated, confirmed theft events can't possibly be that common. Are they paying people in Bangledesh a few bucks to be randomly assigned to group that either get robbed or tripped in the hope they throw the phone and labeling sensor data accordingly. When this type of motion recognition was first developed, they had labs and recorded people walking, doing jumping jacks, sitting and then standing, whatever, and labeled the patterns appropriately because they knew what was happening because it was happening in a lab.

The serfs you’re thinking of came much later thanks to populist land reforms, largely after the black plague decimated the labor pool and gave them huge leverage for the first time - a thousand years later. Until then, serfs were slaves with no other protections. They didn’t get to keep anything. They and everything they had belonged to their feudal lords. Slaves on the other hand got the protection of Rome and even had opportunities to rise to freemen, unlike serfs most of whom were tied to the land for life.
Yeah, but that's a pretty U.S. centric point of view. People outside the U.S. may not care about our definition of trademark.

> Now, as it comes to the term open source, there is a very wide range of accepted behavior that you can get away with when using the term before a guy with a gun shows up and asks you to stop regardless of what you or the OSI says.

So the definition of words is defined by if people shoot you if you misuse them? How are we even communicating right now if that's the only way words have any concrete definition?

Also, I may be behind on my knowledge of U.S. law, but I don't think they enforce trademark law by firing squad.
Oh, didn’t know that, thanks !
Ted Chiang on the Ezra Klein podcast said basically the same thing:

XMOS was around for a long time, but for whatever reason I never saw it used much. There are so many RP2040 projects floating around on github now, showcasing the programmable IO ports. That's very helpful if you want to tinker with something yourself.
If you run down a heavily abstracted feature list looking for checkboxes, maybe. If you look at actual user experience, not unless things have changed in massive ways in the past ~8 months since I last tried it. Some form of the Matrix stack + Jitsi is 100% the way to go if you're attempting to self-host a Discord-like experience, but it's quite the heavy lift compared to just using Discord.

You're still missing out on things like Discord Forums, which are inferior compared to a real forum, but work surprisingly well for being what they are inside of the general Discord app. Threaded conversations are a very different experience (and Discord of course supports these as well.)

Matrix stuff also obviously supports bots, but there's just a metric ton of them available for Discord that server "owners" don't need to self-host or manage beyond adding them to the server. Stuff like managing roles based on reacting to messages all the way to bots that will run your D&D combat... all possible with Matrix, but not generally a "click in three places and it's in your server and working" sort of setup.

Discord takes all these things and just makes it extremely friction-free.
The Russian Empire was one of the most underdeveloped and economically impoverished forces in Europe. So yeah, my point.

People here focus on the aspect of freedom which isn't really that important. That is a more modern idea that we see when capitalism develops and there is an actual free workforce.

The point again is economic incentives. Slaves have the incentives to avoid the whip and otherwise work as slowly as possible. Most forms of serfdom allowed working part of the land for yourselves and getting to keep some of which you produce. So you have an interest in being efficient in your work.

I don't understand what time periods you're comparing here. Your explanations don't follow with any sort of historical precedent. You're making assumptions that there were such a thing as a standing army during the middle ages - ironically enough it was Rome with its slaves that had one of those - and that somehow there were less serfs than slaves. The majority of people in Medieval Europe were still peasant farmers.

I feel like you're talking about economic abstractions without understanding the actual historical context.
Amazon usually reflects the final cost of an item.

If amazon is overpriced, the item might not be available from other channels/requires lots of work to get.

Another (related) point is that amazon is less risky than other options. You can usually get something cheaper from ebay/alibaba/banggood/etc

Somebody always has some nitpicky example, but in my experience amazon has reliable shipping and a predictable low-friction way of getting a replacement or your money back if something goes wrong.
'[T]he passage of SHBs is associated with significantly lower innovations (R&D and Patents). This effect is plausibly channeled via reductions in the capture of scientists by innovative firms, and is stronger in firms with inefficient hiring, higher financial risk, and lower productivity.

Raspberry Pi vs. Raspberry Pi

"Raspberry Pi maker mulls £300m London listing

"Raspberry Pi was founded in 2009 by Dr Eben Upton, who created a single-board computer that has been used to champion programming in schools."

Fact is, long before this, E Upton had resigned from Raspberry Pi, the charitable foundation, https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/2F4URAJF0N5OYhBczDPkU9zsApU/appointments and formed a new company, then confusingly changing its name to Raspberry Pi Ltd.

"The Nakba" is considered by pro-Israelis to be a myth, then you should, and you should know why.

This is, in itself, a myth.

They might talk around it, and attempt to dial down certain aspects, bemoan the "necessity", etc. But every serious person in Israel more or less acknowledges the basic historic reality of the Nakba these days.

In fact, far from denying the Nakba -- since Oct 7, some are now quite proud of what the Irgun and the Haganah accomplished in 1948-1949, and are openly issuing calls to take it up a notch.

Meet Likud MK Ariel Kallner for example (via WP):

Following Hamas’s attack on Israeli communities near Gaza, Kallner in October 2023 called for Israel to bring about a second Nakba. In a post on social media platform X, Kallner advocated for a "Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of ’48", calling for a "Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to anyone who dares to join."

Not to be outdone -- here's Former Internal Security Minister and Shin Bet director Avi Dichter (from the same party, natch):

Israeli security cabinet member and Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter (Likud) was asked in a news interview on Saturday whether the images of northern Gaza Strip residents evacuating south on the IDF’s orders are comparable to images of the Nakba. He replied: “We are now rolling out the Gaza Nakba. From an operational point of view, there is no way to wage a war – as the IDF seeks to do in Gaza – with masses between the tanks and the soldiers.”

When asked again whether this was the “Gaza Nakba”, Dichter – a member of the security cabinet and former Shin Bet director – said “Gaza Nakba 2023. That’s how it’ll end.”

I don't understand why users of branded types use strings as brands. Also using a utility type makes unreadable the TypeScript errors related to this type.

If I had to use branded types, I personally would prefer a different approach:

declare const USER_BRAND: unique symbol
type User = { name: string, [USER_BRAND]: undefined }

This also allows subtyping:

declare const PERSON_BRAND: unique symbol
type Person = { name: string, age: number, [USER_BRAND]: undefined, [PERSON_BRAND]: undefined }

Although this is sometimes convenient, I always find branded types too clever. I would prefer a dedicated syntax for nominal types.

Don't be ridiculous. Solid hardware and software combos for windows cost a small fraction of that. The convenient and decent Tobii PCEye costs like $1,250 and a very nice TMS5 mini is under $2,000. Your bullshit was off by at least an order of magnitude.
You of course are correct regarding f-value. My specific scope maths out to an unusual f/4.8 at 731mm focal length. However, I'm not trying to take 1/100th images. I'm doing 30s exposures, so a f/2.8 vs f/4.8 isn't that bad of a trade off.

Even if this isn't doing the same "science", it would be an interesting thing to play with for sciene. Instead of stacking images from the same camera, just stack each image from the array. Or capturing an entire mosaic in one "snap" which is essentially what WASP is doing (mentioned in a post from yesterday).

There were vastly more slaves in the late Republic and early Empire than the mid or late empire, due to conquest. Slaves undercutting free workers was a factor in the fall of the Republic, but it had little to do with the fall of the Empire. Proto-serfdom had already begun by the Empire's fall, so by your argument it should have gotten stronger, not weaker.

This is a bizarro statement than any historian would laugh at.

Slavery, in lots of different forms, flourished for nearly a millennium and a half throughout the world after the fall of the Western Roman Empire (including, quite conspicuously, in the Eastern Roman Empire for nearly another thousand years...) It's very strange to me that you consider slavery responsible for the downfall of Rome given how it was so prevalent everywhere for so long after.

I watched it, and it kind of was a dystopia. Not in the classic jackboots and oppression sense, but one of pervasive social disconnection and isolation. I mean, the main character's job was literally to write "heartfelt" letters to other people's loved ones on their behalf, because they couldn't be bothered to do it themselves.

The Raspberry Pi 4 is still good value at $35 . If your use case can be handled by a Pi 4, it's a good pick at that price range over the competitors. Most of the competitors are going to have similar i/o, but with a Rockchip RK3566 chip which is slower (unless you're using the NPU)

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2W is also very interesting for the size and $15 price tag. I also liked the 3A but no one remembers that one.

They're older, but everyone else is still playing catch-up, and Raspberry Pi will produce them for a while. I do hope they have a proper $35 board to upgrade to in the future.
I'm severely hearing impaired and enjoy going to dance classes - swing, salsa, etc. If I'm standing still, I can easily tune into the beat. But once I start moving, I quickly lose it on many songs; dance studios aren't known for having large sound systems with substantial bass. I don't know that this specific setup would fix anything -- it would need some way of syncing to the instructor's iPhone that is connected via bluetooth to the studio's little portable speaker. But it's a step in the right direction.

While on the topic, I can hear music but almost never understand lyrics; at best I might catch the key chorus phrase (example: the words "born in the USA" are literally the only words I understand in that song).

A few months ago I discovered the "karaoke" feature on Apple Music, in which it displays the lyrics in time with the music. This have been game changing for me. I'm catching up on decades worth of music where I never had any idea what the lyrics are (filthy, that's what they are. So many songs about sex!). It has made exercising on the treadmill, elliptical, etc actually enjoyable.
> you can partition your dataset and process each partition on separate core, which will produce some massive XX or even XXX GB/s?

Yes, but as I mentioned:

> multicore decompression is not really possible unless you manually tweak the compression

That is, there is no stable implementation out there that does it. You will have to do that manually and painfully. In which case, you're opening the doors for exotic/niche compression/decompression, and there are better alternatives than LZ4 if you're in the niche market.

> this is obviously depends on your data pattern. If it is some low cardinality IDs, they can be compressed by ratio 100 easily.

Everything is possible in theory. Yet we have to agree on what is a reasonable expectation. A compression factor of around 3:1 is, from my experience, what you would get from a reasonable compression speed on reasonably distributed data.
