Because "made in China" doesn't sell. A quality Chinese manufacturer could do a quality bag, but it would sell as just a good bag, with a price reflecting the quality of the materials and workmanship that went into it. I can imagine a lawyer, doctor, etc... buying such a bag as it is a work tool that will see heavy use and it is important for the image to have a reasonably nice looking bag.

But luxury is more than that, you buy a story and exclusivity. You want to think you are one of the few, you want to think about the small town in Italy, get the idea that by your purchase you contribute to a tradition, it has to be special, and China can't deliver that. At least not for handbags, I guess it is a different story for, say, ceramics, where China has a recognized tradition.
As I mentioned they were in the middle of one of the biggest releases in their history, the submitted documents didn't look interesting and indeed when they were published nobody cared. Do you know what they were? Publishers won't just publish any old trash you send them.
I think they mean the scenario where the attacker sneaks in and adds a persistent backdoor / sets up privileged accounts for themselves to use / generally makes themselves comfortable, and then sits on their thumbs for a long period of time before activating the ransomware. If the victim restores from the previous day / week / months backup, the attacker can then sneak right back in and re-exploit whatever vulnerability.

The proposition then becomes "Our last non-compromised (as far as we know) backup is half a year old, can we afford to lose months of progress, or should we just pay the ransom?".

Or perhaps the attacker doesn't have a persistent foothold, but can make a credible claim that they do - do you take the risk? Keeping in mind that every moment you burn investigating and trying to discover the extent of the compromise is another moment you're down and burning money.
Just out of curiosity, is there any practical reason to send human to moon considering costs and risk?

I'm not referring to merge conflicts per say, or that the final document will make human sense. But CRDTs will prevent changesets from different participats from being applied in the worst possible way. And there will be no data loss.

> This website has not received or acted on any government orders to disclose or modify or remove material.

Never understood why gag orders don't just say "You can't say you received this order. Oh and by the way if we find you removed a canary, we'll just write that up as you having said you received this order".

Because the point of a canary is for it to be known beforehand. So the government surely knows about any canary too.

There must be some backwards definition of "speech" here which doesn't include all conveying of information (such as by removing previously published information), which makes it work, at least in the US (?)

> Yes, I remember his bad faith offers, thinking that he has the right to decide on how a sovereign country's justice system should work.

Note that "I will come to your soil if and only if you make such and such promise" is not deciding how their justice system should work. It just means that if they don't get the promise, they will not come to their soil. Likewise, we could point out that Sweden has no right to force someone out of their jurisdiction to turn themselves in.

> What I don't remember was any reasoning on why he thought it more likely that he'd be extradited from Sweden to the US rather than from the UK, who are particularly close?

Sweden has a history of extradition, the treaties aren't the same… and though at the time Assange wasn't formally charged by the US, if I recall correctly he did have (founded) suspicions that a grand jury was put on his case. At the time, his chances of being extradited from Sweden rather than the UK were higher.

How does that work for rectangular elements? As far as I understand it, squircles are defined by an equation similar to (x/a)^n + (y/b)^n = 1, as in https://www.desmos.com/calculator/yllozptlmt.

That works well for squares (a = b), but for rectangles the corners aren't round anymore, they become elliptic, as in https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bzxyu6ygz3. That doesn't like as nice in my eyes, but more importantly I have the impression that the rounded corner of Apple's rectangles are circular, not elliptic. I don't have any Apple devices, but in screenshots like https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:4800/format:webp/1*oBI... it seems to me the corners of rectangular elements are very much not elliptic. Or certainly not nearly as obvious as in my second Desmos link.

So I don't understand what's really going on. It doesn't seem to me Apple's rectangles really are superellipses.

(And actually the squares in that screenshot look like simple rounded squares to me, not squircles/superellipses. The sides look too flat for squircles. I could be wrong though.)
I read here on HN some time ago that boredom is actually a good thing. And when we are bored we get new ideas. Otherwise we find ways to keep ourselves busy and entertained throughout by any means. Not letting ourselves bored means not letting ourselves get creative.
I'm sorry, but I find this kind of ridiculous - Starmer is being pretty clear about the kind of man he is. Fervent capitalist, previous member of the CIA-linked Trilateral Commission, notorious U-turner, War on Drugs(TM) supporter, outright liar, genocide supporter, and absolutely completely beholden to Israel (he has even said he'll put Israel lobbiests into the highest echelons of gov - he's practically a foreign agent at this point).

He's telling you who he is, so please believe him - the idea that this man will become PM and then suddenly turn into Jeremy Corbyn is, frankly, delusional. I can understand why someone would want to believe that, but in all likelihood we're just getting more of the same.

Strongly disagree. And for anything that's distributed digitally it's an eternity.

The goal should be that as an adult you can build on the things you grew up with as a child. Anything longer than that is absurd. Remember that copyright is an infringement on your right to free speech so should need extraordinary evidence for that any additional second of the copyright term actually fulfils its constitutional purpose. You don't need to allow maximum commercial exploitation to encourage more works. In fact I would question if commercial exploitation is something that needs to be made possible at all considering that humans are naturally driven to be creative and we have a giant corpus of creative works to fall back on which can now be copied and distributed easier than ever.

The current terms that won't even let your grandchildren benefit from the work your generation funded are an outright affront to the spirit of the constitution. At this point we would be better off scrapping the whole concept of copyright.

Not everything is russian propaganda. A lot of the internet is, but them getting it right one time, or WikiLeaks and russian state assets having the same goals for a period of time, or russian propaganda getting a boost out of WikiLeaks does not mean WikiLeaks is russian propaganda.

> Ansible, if I'm not mistaken, requires python3 installed on remote hosts.

It is not a requirement. There is the raw module that just sends commands over ssh . But if you want to do anything beyond basic most people use raw just to install python so they can use other modules which require python.
One can build a GPS-backed stratum 1 server for a lot less than $100 in hardware (and I have done so in the past). It was a fun little project for me, but it involved a confluence of skillsets that many [especially smaller] companies may not collectively possess. And even then, it needs to be documented so someone else can work on it, and that maintenance has to actually-happen, and it needs a view of the sky in order for it to chooch, and it also needs redundancy. This takes time. (And if this IT department doesn't work for free, then the cost is very quickly a lot more than $100.)

And going full-assed with one or more actually-outside antennas can also be problematic, since it's a Bad Day when (eg) grounding is done improperly and lightning comes by to fuck their shit up.

And ISPs can (and certainly should!) provide decent NTP servers. That's the logical place for shared servers, network-wise. But the one's choice of ISP is often limited by geography, and the most-viable ISP here stopped publishing what their NTP servers are -- if they still exist in a form that customers can use, they don't publish this information. (It wasn't always this way and I remember using them years ago when they were more forthcoming. They were shitty NTP servers with high jitter. Good enough for some things, I suppose, but not as good as the members of the public NTP pool tend to be.)

I mean: Many ISPs can't even manage to handle DNS queries quickly. When public servers like 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 (or the semi-public ones like 4.2.2.1) are faster than the ISP's own servers, then that's a problem. And it's a stupid problem, and it should not happen. But it does happen.

So thus, public NTP servers are useful for many -- including those who have a tinkered-together NTP server with a GPS antenna in a window somewhere, where public servers can be used as backup.

It's good to have options, and it's nice that some organizations provide some options for the greater network.
Apple has been well known to be absolutely obtuse, random, and not reliable when it comes to approvals for over 12 years now[1], at least unless you're a big company and can hound someone in upper management about it.

It's a good reason why, for a lot of people, claims about Apple walled garden being such a privacy and security boon fall flat[2].

For all purposes, it's as capricious as other companies inscrutable "AI" systems.

[1] Back in 2011, when I tried my hand at the startup roulette, I remember meeting companies which due to bad experience decided that Apple market is not worth possibility of going bankrupt because approvals might suddenly get denied so late in the process to kill the project

You don't need a distro with ancient glibc; you can instead create a cross-compilation toolchain.

We used https://crosstool-ng.github.io/docs/ to create a cross-compilation toolchain that runs on modern debian, but produces executables that only need glibc 2.17.
The only downside is that you no longer can simply apt-get a library you need -- all dependencies shipped along with your application also need to be built with this cross-compiler.

> “We can now… say he was guilty of a very serious offence," he tells the BBC Radio 4 Today programme.

> “Most people in Australia would agree it’s not appropriate to steal national security information and publish it - governments have to have some degree of privacy in their communications."

> He adds: “I don’t think many Australians have sympathy for him. Just because he’s Australian doesn’t mean he’s a good bloke.”

I have some 4k pixels of width on my desktop, and some 400 on mobile. It makes sense to not have a wide scrollbar on mobile. But it makes zero sense on desktop.

Scrollbars do two things. They let you scroll (duh), but they are also progress indicators. There are other ways of scrolling (e.g. swiping on mobile) which work by default. But there is no other default way of showing progress. I don't particularly like the progress bar example in the original post, something as unobtrusive as a percentage in the bottom right corner would work just as well. But I do want some indication of progress ...

Respectfully, it wasn't a gross simplification. The underlying claims in both directions are already simple. It was just incorrect.

> But it serves a purpose.

Purpose? What purpose? Honestly, this stuff really gets my goat. I'm not sure if you're aware of this but around half of the US population doesn't agree that climate changes are driven primarily by humans [1], and over time the proportion of people saying climate change is a serious problem have gone down, not up. This is despite absolutely saturation level messaging by every part society that's allowed to speak.

Despite being confined to obscure blogs climate skeptics appear to be winning, and they're doing it through a simple formula:

1. Take a claim made by journalists/politicians/academics/the UN/whatever.

2. Present documentary evidence that the claim is wrong. Sometimes a graph from a government website, sometimes data from a paper, sometimes historical evidence or data they collected themselves.

3. Say it isn't a mistake but rather deliberate lies told in aid of a specific social agenda.

So when you say the weather is getting more energetic, I show you it's not getting more energetic, and you accept that you were wrong but say "It serves a purpose", what you're doing is illustrating and to some extent confirming all the worst conspiracy theories of the skeptics. You're saying it's OK to say untrue things about the climate if it's in aid of some (unarticulated) other goal.

> Every year is bringing "...est on record" everywhere you look.

Given that you just made a claim about storm energy that isn't correct, presumably found in those places that you look, one should consider the possibility that claims we hear about records might also be gross oversimplifications told to serve a purpose.

> 'how to reason about systems and choosing better actions, where "better" is defined as "actions that lead you to beat the game" or "achieve a better score"'

This is a double-edged sword because in the real world, actually interesting systems don't have this kind of closed feedback loop.

Training your mind for this can lead to an inside-the-box mindset where you need to find the score which would provide the external validation of your actions. For a lot of people, money provides that reassuring score, and then money becomes the primary value in one's life replacing any deeper intrinsic motivation.
