Spoken like a true Cloudflare employee! But no, we see through your false reframing of the facts.

If a customer's action is truly illegal, the customer's account should be terminated, either immediately or after a reasonable warning to fix things. Under no circumstances should money be sought to support the illegal activity.

CF is engaged in a pig-butchering scam whereby they lure customers, then when the customer is all fat and happy, they get asked to pay up or lose their business.

In this case, CF destroyed the customer's business as soon as CF got word that the customer was going to move to Fastly, considering that the protection money was not paid. It's an open and shut case of racketeering.
I think many people did actually read that element into your original comment. I tried to highlight that here from a different perspective, so maybe you'd see what that could come across like if you were on the other side.

For full transparency I use the noise cancelling headphones same as you, I think it's very logical and it does help me in the same way. I don't think that would be a reasonable thing to say to you. But the framing and emotionally loaded tone comes across as comparable to your original comment.

E: and just in case: You will think those are very different scenarios, and your preference makes sense given the context. That's a valid perspective! But the people you were talking about in your original comment feel the same way!

> Toyota shipped more in battery capacity in hybrids than every other car manufacturer in EVs, excluding pure EV manufacturers like Tesla/BYD.

You can always succeed if you define success. Combustion is combustion. EVs get cleaner as their local grid gets cleaner, hybrids burn fossil fuels their entire lifetime. Ergo, the solution is to focus on charging infra, not hybrids, if lacking infra is what is holding back full speed EV deployment and uptake. But Toyota is not good at building EVs or charging infra, so here we are.
I agree with this 100%

Every platform that has an controlled access point, which to be clear is the entirety of the public DNS system, is by default a closed platform

There do not exist open HTTPS gateways for all of the major internet services such that anyone can connect - They’re *all* mediated by some access control gatekeeper, it’s like one of the core functions of the current Internet routing system is to not allow for infinite anonymous peers like you would see in TOR or other anonymized routing services

It’s precisely the same argument as: “We have plenty of water fountains, As long as you look white then you can use them all you want.”

Glad to help! At my recent audiologist appointment, it escalated to being suggested that I go for a cochlear implant consultation for one of my ears (I figured why not, despite not personally thinking this was something I'd do any time soon). Apparently it's actually quite possibly mostly covered by my health insurance due to showing medical necessity...

I'm fortunate that I could reasonably plan to pay for it myself... the bigger hold-up/concern/issue has been the drastic change in "how I hear" that it would involve. (experiences are widely variable it sounds like, but loosely about a year for the brain to gradually learn and improve how it uses the new input?)

I haven't even opened the manufacturers' books given to me, or done more research on the possibility since that appointment though...

I can't disclose details but I know for my office raw [short term] productivity was about 20% up for WFH (the situation differs in almost every aspect from that in the study your linked).

That's non statistically significant to make a general statement, but confirms to me that as a minimum there is high variability.

Data entry is low skill, high churn; in person I'd expect managers to put a lot of pressure on because they can drive people away in six months (it might even be preferable for employment law reasons) and still have plenty of people needing jobs to pick up the work.

I'm not going to research a paper here, only to note my direct experience makes the broad applicability of your single study highly questionable.

It's one study, I'm sure there are now more longitudinal indicative studies for most regions that anyone here can find with ease.

Name one windows application used by more than 10 people that supports independent left and right modifier keys used as modifiers. One application.

> Base64 encoding hurts performance, adding about 33% overhead. It's more efficient to send binary over HTTP directly.

Other encodings are more space efficient. But it's also the case that the purposes of Braid don't lend themselves to large binary blobs. Chances are the data still fits in a single packet.

> They can arrive in different orders to a server that relays them to other clients.

Again, whether you emit an update over SSE or a HTTP subscription doesn't change that. Both are literally just TCP connections. Whether you wrap the data as an SSE event or a piece of a 209, it'll arrive in the same way.

> Yes, they do. Not only headers, but also status lines, and bodies. We are streaming entire HTTP responses. A HTTP response consists of a status line, headers, and a body. We need all of these.

You can package that data not as in the shape of a HTTP response. You're making the choice to do it that way but there's exactly nothing that's requiring you to do it.

The value of putting it into HTTP the protocol is making the user agent be able to see a snapshot is a remote resource at any given time. But that's not the interface that HTTP exposes. fetch() or curl gives you back a stream or a buffer. If I created a subscription, streams are right out. So you'd need to get back a full buffer of the resource every time it's updated. But then you don't have data about what changed.

So now you have to get the details about those changes, which means HTTP isn't adding any value. Which is to say, if my application needs to be aware of the details of the protocol, it's not a transport protocol anymore, it's an application protocol. If the abstraction of the protocol just gives you ~the data that's sent over the wire, it's not an abstraction anymore and you're really just piping lines of data from the wire to your application logic (which is exactly what SSE is).

The only benefit that I can really see is a user agent could facilitate caching better? But then you're dipping into the territory of H2 server push.
Of course you did -- many, many, many times -- you just didn't know that that's what you were seeing.

People rarely directly asks for an old feature that they're not using to be removed. Rather, they ask for new features that the old feature interferes with. SecurityManager imposed a significant tax on nearly every new feature, as it interacts with just about everything, slowing down much of the work on the JDK. SecurityManager was (actually, still is as it has not been removed yet) simultaneously one of the most expensive features and least used features in the JDK. Everyone who asked for new significant features effectively asked for SM to be removed, as they could not be delivered -- certainly not as expeditiously -- with it in place.

In fact, as early as JDK 8, new features (such as streams) had to work around SM (simply documenting that it could not be effectively used in combination with the new feature; few people noticed because few people used SM). With time, it became ridiculous to say that SM is ineffective when used in combination with more and more new features (e.g. virtual threads, and the same would have been the case for Leyden [1]), and it still kept exacting a tax on most uses, so it had to be removed if we were to give people the features they were asking for. The fact that more robust, effective, and relevant security mechanisms are now not only available but have grown far more popular in Java applications than SM ever was only meant that the whatever arguments there may have been to keep it and delay and significantly complicate new features were weak.

[1]: I shudder to think how Leyden could be done while keeping SM in some functional state.

One set of risks are hypothetical, and basically are about avoiding things like the paperclip maximizer example.

Another set of risks are more practical and involve the existing technology, like how to you keep it from being abused for ill. Realistically, that mostly amounts to trying to avoid PR problems, because I can't imagine those guardrails would stay on when the company doesn't want them there.
Text runs off the right side of the screen, and you can neither pan nor zoom to get around that.

I don't understand the smile on this question.

It is inconsiderate and broken to block the normal default client automatic text flowing and client controls like that. And you have to go out of your way to do it. The browser will fill the viewport automatically and correctly, if you don't go out of your way to break it. And then it's just extra class act to also prevent the user from overcoming that breakage by panning or zooming. That's chefs kiss right there.

Piper TTS[0] (MIT Licensed; developed by main dev of Larynx TTS, Mimic3 TTS & Rhasspy voice assistant) has support for ~30 languages, at least some of which have multiple voices available--in a range of quality & data licenses.

And, particularly fortuitous for your needs, potentially, there's at at least one German voice that was recorded[1] specifically for Piper[2] (with emotion variants and CC0-licensed, no less :) )...

Check out `thorsten` & `thorsten_emotional` on the samples page: https://rhasspy.github.io/piper-samples/

I can't speak to the quality of the German voice specifically but for English at least I've found Piper's quality & range of voices of use[3].

Also be interesting to know if that Voice Control Products ever had a real design win.

I gather the VCP200 was a mask-programmed M6804 microcontroller. The M6804 was a strange and obscure beast, apparently a cost-reduced, internally serial ("1-bit"), partial reimplementation of the M6805, which was one of the first Motorola 8-bit microcontrollers based on the 6800. Max bus speed of 2.75MHz, with an instruction cycle time of 44 microseconds. 32 bytes of RAM and 1K mask-programmed ROM. No ADC.
http://www.bitsavers.org/components/motorola/6804/M6804_MCU_...

One should be able to do better with about any modern microcontroller. Then again, for all I know the VCP200 was not fit to even the modest tasks (looks like toy/novelty/hobbyist) it was marketed for back then.

It’s the lithography equipment they are using, it isn’t designed for 7nm and the only reason we guess their yields are bad is because lots of people have tried already. TSMC also buys from the same Dutch company, the knowledge/equipment to build commercially viable chips is incredibly distributed: if China took all of TSMC’s factories and people in tact, they would still be unable to do that well because the supply chain is intentionally distributed through multiple US allied countries.

China needs to do everything, they will need to produce and master their own lithography and so on.
