They would likely employ advertising, just as YouTube does. Are you saying it's not profitable to run a video hosting service?

YouTube is evidence of that already.

A more straightforward way to accomplish this in areas where content size is large/expensive is to disallow coupling client creation with data hosting, and data vendors would license access to their data to client creators.

Bundling becomes anti-competitive at a certain network size, because there becomes no meaningful way to create a competitor network. The essence of what makes capitalism effective is competition driving costs lower, and in many areas in tech we have very little competition due to large network effects.

Keep in mind Capitalism != Free Market. A fully free market is a form of Capitalism that has no laws, and no impediment to monopoly formation. Competitive Capitalism with minimal laws to encourage competitive where large network effects or monopolies form is far more societally beneficial in the long run.

Decoupling client/data has already been done many times in the past in analogous situations, e.g. when movie producers were not allowed to own the theaters where the movies were played, giving a much more equal footing to smaller content producers.
Here’s the thing, though: Linux as a desktop is absolute trash and it doesn’t matter if you have been using it as a desktop operating system for 30 years, it’s still absolutely trash for anyone with an idea of what a desktop OS should be.

It is trash in the exact same way that GIMP is trash compared to professional tools.

The quality just isn’t there, and the quality will never be there so long as design decisions are made by anything resembling a democracy.

The open source model works for code. It does not work for design, and open source developers somehow believe they are as good of a designer as they are a developer, and that has never been true for anyone, ever.

Asking that someone be forced to switch to Linux from Windows or Mac is akin to forcing them to use GIMP instead of Photoshop, and if that sounds like a perfectly fine thing to you, you are blind to some very important things. Being blind to those things is fine so long as you’re aware of that blindness.
Don't shift goal posts, please. A supply chain attack and a service sending private messages to the wrong recipient are very different issues.
I really enjoyed "Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists" which engaged me like no tutorial or textbook has for a while.

Anyone remember "The Poignant Guide To Ruby"? That was a fun work of art.

There was no hunch there about a problem, it was very obvious there was a problem. Management willing to risk worker's lives for promotions should be fired immediately unless they jump into the fire only by themselves. No life is worth someone's convenience.
> He worked with Russia to influence the 2016 election in Trump's favor

That is not at all a conclusion you can safely take from the Mueller report. Which makes me question whether you actually read it or you consumed it entirely via 2nd hand media reports like Buzzfeed and WaPo.

There is no evidence he was colluding with them, he had encrypted conversations with a GRU agent who had concealed his identity as a hacker, contents of the messages which were never revealed.

Even if he eventually did learn the source why should Wikileaks care where a goldmine of documents comes from? As long as they are authentic.

There’s more than enough motivation for Wikileaks to leak docs by a figurehead of the post 9/11 nation security state, regardless of RU or Trump or petty politics.

I’m sure if the NSA sent him documents about some geopolitical matter they’d leak them too.

> and then tried to blame Seth Rich

He never once directly implicated Seth Rich, the worst thing he did was during a TV interview made a reference to Seths murder and then merely declined to talk about it more:

>> Unbidden, Assange brought up the case of Seth Rich. When asked directly whether Rich was a source, Assange said "we don't comment on who our sources are". Subsequent statements by WikiLeaks emphasized that the organization was not naming Rich as a source.

He also claimed he had physical proof of an inside job, which is entirely possible he was completely taken by the GRU agent who manufactured plausible sounding proof and Assange bought it. These agents are extremely clever and capable, and Assange was in a very poor mental state at the time.

His only true ‘crime’ is not talking about Seth after to appease crazies on the left who see RU conspiracy around every corner nor tamed the right looking to fan the flames on US gov conspiracy theories.

but let’s be honest, that wouldn’t have stopped the hyper partisans on either side. They don’t care either way.

All they want is black/white villains.
You can download from multiple domains at once. But think about the order here:

1. The initial page load happens, which requires a DNS request, TLS handshake and finally HTML is downloaded. The TCP connection is kept alive for subsequent requests.

2. The HTML references javascript files - some of these are local URLs (locally hosted / bundled JS) and some are from 3rd party domains, like polyfill.

3a. Local JS is requested by having the browser send subsequent HTTP requests over the existing HTTP connection

3b. Content loaded from 3rd party domains (like this polyfill code) needs a new TCP connection handshake, a TLS handshake, and then finally the polyfills can be loaded. This requires several new round-trips to a different IP address.

4. The page is finally interactive - but only after all JS has been downloaded.

Your browser can do steps 3a and 3b in parallel. But I think it'll almost always be faster to just bundle the polyfill code in your existing JS bundle. Internet connections have very high bandwidth these days, but latency hasn't gotten better. The additional time to download (lets say) 10kb of JS is trivial. The extra time to do a DNS lookup, a TCP then TLS handshake and then send an HTTP request and get the response can be significant.

And you won't even notice when developing locally, because so much of this stuff will be cached on your local machine while you're working. You have to look at the performance profile to understand where the page load time is spent. Most web devs seem much more interested in chasing some new, shiny tech than learning how performance profiling works and how to make good websites with "old" (well loved, battle tested) techniques.
Almost seems like an argument to allow money laundering.
Playing around with a Raspberry Pi Pico. After more than a decade of building digital applications, being able to write a program and seeing the output change something in the physical world was pretty cool. I remember feeling that same spark I had years ago the first time I made an LED blink.

How do you mean? The situation with X seems mostly to do with marketing (people not liking the owner & his behavior) and bots, with maybe a little bit of instability thrown in. As noted elsewhere in the thread, Facebook already has experience with a bunch of different types of services-- from the games they used to host, to Marketplace mentioned elsewhere in the thread, to event management rivaling Meetup & Eventbrite, and even a dating app. X talks about being an "everything app," but they really just have posts (with media) and that's their only feature to date. Facebook does a lot more. So I don't see how pushing harder on non-social features would make them any more like X is right now.

No, I really want to point into the stack and walk stack frames, look at the guts of objects, arrays, map memory, forge pointers to new code (because I wrote a JIT compiler), etc. That is brazen UB in C/C++ and compilers will do horrible things to you.

Hrrm. Looking at the electronics apparently it's an array of servos mounted to a tapered rectangular prism base geometry sheet metal chassis held together through welding. Listening to the recording they seem to 'click' audibly when closing off holes. I wonder if it would be feasible to introduce a non-clicky approach and/or a non-servo approach, for example by integrating on-PCB linear actuation and some form of non-metallic seal contact. Non-servo would also have the benefit of greatly reducing instrument weight. On-PCB would also have the benefit of greatly reducing cost, assuming a working mechanism can be found with adequate torque. Happy to offer what assistance I can if there's a contact point.
It's not short, but I was introduced to the concept in a video series on FLOSS Linux audio tools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdPPPeq82hw&list=PLf_MTToSAx...

Specifically, you can play with it yourself with a tool like ZynAddSubFX's (https://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.io/) virtual keyboard, where you can enable microtonal under scale settings and tweak to whatever tuning you want (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdPPPeq82hw&t=669s for where the video above starts showing this).

This shouldn't overrun the command line length for resize, since resize only gets fed one filename at a time. I do think that the for loop would need to hold all the filenames in a naive shell implementation. (I would assume most shells are naive in this respect) The for loop's length limit is probably the amount of ram available though. I find it improbable that one could overflow ram with purely pathnames on a PC, since a million files times 100 chars per file is still less than a gig of ram. If that was an issue though, one would indeed have to use "find" with "-exec" instead to make sure that one was never holding all file names in memory at the same time.
A kalman filter wouldn't account for say, the issue that hit the HAKUTO-R lander, where because the reading on the radar altimeter changed too rapidly, the computer assumed it was faulty, or the IM-1 lander, where they initially had a lot of trouble with altitude sensing (in part because they forgot to remove the covers from the laser rangefinders), managed to work around it, and then failed to fully sense and cancel out the lateral velocity, causing it to skid along the surface, snap a leg and tip over.
I read this article a while ago and it seems like the most sane way of dealing with this. Which tool you use to render the manifests doesn't even matter anymore.
It would be interesting to see how much these "supercomputers" are actually used, and what parts of them are used.

I use my university's "supercomputer" every now and then when I need lots of VRAM, and there are rarely many other users. E.g. I've never had to queue for a GPU even though I use only the top model, which probably should be the most utilized.

Also, I'd guess there can be nvidia cards in the grid even if "the computer" is AMD.

Of course it doesn't matter for AMD whether the compute is actually used or not as long as it's bought, but lots of theoretical AMD flops standing somewhere doesn't necessarily mean AMD is used much for compute.
I think your talking about a different app, KakaoMap, which you're right isn't totally localised. KakaoTalk is though.

But it is unethical - who “owns” and manages these projects on this site? How do you even now know what code will be there, how it’s maintained, any CI, etc? How can we trust at all?

It’s one thing to fork, but then you have a different name attached to it. It’s entirely another to clone the open source world en masse with no auditable trails or connection to the original authors.
Numerical Analysis of the Basketball Shot (2003)
Then start a business and do it. If your hypothesis is correct then there are thousands of websites that would love to accept payments from your service.

I think you'll find though that building a wallet is an extraordinary complex problem. The legal compliance issues alone make it tough to build a service that can operate in the USA. As soon as you build a service for transferring money, criminals will immediately try to use it for money laundering and other illegal payments. What's your plan to handle that? You can't just ignore it or most likely the government will shut you down. And those AML/KYC laws are unlikely to be loosened just to suit this use case.
That sounds correct and in keeping with the themes!
I understand that ping times are different when geolocated. My point was that in fairly typical scenarios (worst cases are going to be worse) it would be hidden by backend latency since the fetch could be concurrent with link headers or http 103. Devil in details of course.

> Today, the heirs will instead keep the inherited home, rent it out seasonally on AirBnB to earn a little money, keep any mortgage they have on the place they live, and reap the value increase of their AirBnB unit every year. That value increase can be used as collateral for many things.

Money is fungible, finance people can do this kind of transformation with anything and do, all the time. Ever heard of a company or rich individual doing a sale-and-leaseback transaction? That's the same thing in reverse.

> In the industrialized world, your yearly salary (value increase) is much higher from earning real estate and doing nothing... There is no shortage of housing.

On the contrary, the shortage of housing is the underlying reality that makes all the flashy transactions on top work. Why does the value of housing keep going up? Because demand is going up and supply is staying approximately constant, or even going down. Everything else is window dressing.

> if you add up the value of all properties listed on AirBnB, that amount would dwarf not only Apple, but the entire stock market.

Maybe, but those properties are listed on a bunch of AirBnB competitors at the same time. AirBnB has very little market power over them; if they try to hike up the rates or anything they'll lose their customers. The real estate market is important. AirBnB isn't.
They're asking who's going to cover YouTube's costs for providing their videos via API. Or is the expectation that if you use a 3rd party client you'll see youtube's ads to cover their costs, and then additional ads from the client?
Neither of them had ownership of the project, so neither of them were responsible for the sale or benefited from it.

They both simply dedicated a lot of time, care and skill to the project. It's really a shame to see what they spent so much time building and maintaining now being used as a platform to exploit people. I'm sure its extremely disappointing to both of them.
Where I live, Aldi does not provide boxes or bags of any sort. You have to bring your own bags and, barring that, take the cart to your car and unload there directly. A bit time consuming, but not a disaster. It has been this way for at least a decade (as long as I've lived here) and people have long been used to it.

It meant that when all other supermarkets stopped offering free plastic bags, most of the shopping populace was already used to keeping reusable bags in their cars or purses, so it was a pretty easy transition.
I suspect even the vast majority of decision makers in the US government wouldn't have a conversation like that. And even if they somehow did, how does that change how one should feel about what Assange said? "Well, he was psychopathically toying with people's lives, but so do other people."

Assange seemed virtuous at first but it appears he pivoted into an agenda-driven propagandist after Wikileaks grew more successful and he realized what could be done with it.

In "Better Angels" he chooses "healthy, wealthy and wise" as his three benchmarks. We live longer (and suffer less violence). We have more wealth. We are smarter. That's what "better off" means. You can argue that's not what "better off" means, but you'd be arguing that we should strive for shorter lives, more poverty, and increased stupidity.

Tesla is still stuck at Level 3 while Waymo has been operating at level 4 for years.

If Tesla does manag to jump straight from level 3 to level 5, they have a chance to compete, but that seems unlikely. They also might move to level 4 and be able to expand level 4 coverage faster, but that still remains to be seen.

Waymo has years of experience with the other hard part of self driving taxis: actually picking up and dropping off people without a human driver.

It was true with RDNA 2. RDNA 3 regressed on this a bit, supposedly there was a hardware hiccup that prevented them from hitting frequency and voltage targets that they were hoping to reach.

In any case they're only slightly behind, not crazy far behind like Intel is.
It is different because one is a human mind falling prey to selective memory and sympathy, and Pinker's book is about facts and data.

No they shouldn't. While I'm sure a number of these accounts that get shut down are indeed scams or forgeries of some kind there will be a number of them that are legitimate accounts or perhaps legitimate people who wish to remain anonymous.

Unfortunately what is really happening is this simply a way of excluding undesirables from participation in modern society. If it's about crime or fraud or something else there should be a paper trail a referral to criminal proceedings before the bank takes any action to seize and close out people's money.

What governments like is passing rules to make extra judicial rulings to lock people out of society. There is no free society if there is no due process in society. It is meant as a way to erode the principles of common law and substitute a legislative dictatorship.

When any institution becomes core to the functionality of a society and the system of governance enables those institutions, even privately held ones, to become core to functioning in a society then access to those must be preserved at all cost for the people. It is better to air on the side of allowing a criminal entity, that has not been convicted in a court of law, to have access to banking than to cause one legitimate person to be excluded from having access to Banks. Because banking is core to everything. Try and get a job where they will pay you directly in cash. Try to get a job that doesn't want to direct deposit money to your account and will still write you a paper check. Even when you have that paper check try to go to their bank and get that check cashed.

Locking people out of banking without a criminal charge and a conviction in court excludes people from participation in society in any meaningful way.
