We're using Neon with an internal Kubernetes operator and we're incredibly happy with Neon's tech solutions and my company switched over to Neon from PlanetScale. In part for the ability to scale up/down easily and also so I could run multiple databases on the same cluster and Neon starts very quickly as well which is pretty awesome but I think they are not equivalent of each other. Neon is like a serverless Postgres database, while Supabase is a BaaS.
This is an EPA report, presumably they do not base their findings upon any beef a whistleblower may have.

And, not knowing more about the story as you seem to, she claims her beef is based on the fact that she got sick from gases Apple was venting from this same facility. At least from what I saw on Twitter, this EPA report, in some sense, is the beef.
Not much enlightening I can add to such a story, but I am thankful to the many people who work dangerous jobs that are needed to support the modern world.
Just a heads up, since I couldn't comment on the LWP article about this a few days ago.

The leapp-upgrade program had a reproducible bug as late as last week where after every upgrade it inserted net.ifnames=0 into the kernel cmdline. So when the new RHEL 8 system booted up it was using the wrong interface names (eth).

The fix was simply grubby --remove-args="net.ifnames=0" --update-kernel ALL but felt stupid since RH emphasize the interface name change and then they themselves sabotage it for us.
>Boeing is not a bank. [...] Put succinctly, Boeing is NOT too big to fail.

>[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Too_big_to_fail

Dissecting the origin of "too big to fail" and the wikipedia cite isn't relevant to gp's argument because many journalists/observers in media already use "too big to fail" to characterize companies like Boeing:

https://www.google.com/search?q=boeing+%22too+big+to+fail%22

In other words, the "too big to fail" meme has already expanded beyond banking's original usage.
> Easily Linkable Headings

I haven't found a nice way to do this on both desktop/mobile. What I want is for every heading to have an anchor link that can be copied, similar to a hyperlink. I see a lot of sites do this with a [unicode chain symbol] which is present on hover, but that's not an option on mobile. Alternate option is to have it next to every heading (ugly), turn every heading into a hyperlink without styling, or make them look like regular hyperlinks which I think is confusing.

Debian was always there, they deserve what they get.

I'm saying this as someone who fought tooth and nail to migrate to Debian instead of Scientific in 2010 because you can't ever trust a for profit company.

But that was too hard, and what would a grad student know about the real world anyway, so here we are.
Yes, that's true. However, tons of software was written solely for CentOS, so ironing out the small kinks will take some time.

The problem is, scientific software can silently error out in many ways (like slightly lost accuracy), and detecting and fixing those will take some time.

Considering some of these tools are developed over (almost two) decades, there's a lot of verification we have to go through.

You can't hand-wave it as "pricing in externalities". What disposal method should be priced in?

In theory, disposal could add $0.05 to the price of a battery, by making drive to the official Battery Fire, tossing it in, and driving back, all the way to making it cost $50000 whereby someone will drive to your house to get the battery, and then over the course of the next 6 months lovingly disassemble it to remove each component and chemical without producing any waste, or anything in between.

Microsoft confirms Project Natick underwater data center is no more
I'm not sure that necessarily explains the need for single-use NFC tickets, though. There could be a more durable serial-use or permanent card with NFC that regular commuters could buy, and if those commuters are the vast majority of rush hour passengers, it might not be such a problem if single-use tickets had a slightly slower system.

Of course that'd mean having two recognition mechanisms, so the operator might opt for NFC and chips for single-use tickets anyway to make the system simpler. But somehow having single-use tickets with chips on them does seem wasteful to me.
I daily drive Debian close to 20 years. We'd prefer to have Debian on board, too.

However this is where we're now and what we have to go through.

> they deserve what they get.

Why the anger though?
A lot of businesses are stuck with old systems they can't "just" update to a new OS version because everyone who knew why the system exists and what weird quirks it has, has long left the company. Alma 9 comes with ABI-incompatible upgrades to postgres/java/mysql/libc/literally every library you could possibly depend on, which is rough on in-house software that nobody wants to fund ongoing maintenance for.

It just tends to hit RHEL/CentOS harder than other distros because they're considered "enterprise" and thus get used more by the sort of dysfunctional companies who manage themselves into dead ends.
I wonder if everything would have been simple if the regulation itself was something death-simple like:

If you control the software of the hardware you sell, you must refund with the inflation adjusted sums the users at any time they return their hardware.

This way, companies can choose if they are renting platforms they deliver their services like the TV boxes some cable providers will rent, or of they are selling products and the users can choose to do whatever they like with it.

The makers can still provide and and sell services on devices they built but they will have to be good at it.

Haha, asking chat-gpt surely won't work. Everything can "feel" like a halting problem if you want perfect results with zero error with uncertain and ambiguous new data adding.

My take - Hallucinations can never be made to perfect zero but they can be reduced to a point where these systems in 99.99% will be hallucinating less than humans and more often than not their divergences will turn out to be creative thought experiments (which I term as healthy imagination). If it hallucinates less than a top human do - I say we win :)
They could also provide developers some APIs to register external subscriptions and purchases, and thus make cancellation and refunds available through centralised user interfaces within iOS, but they don't, because their goal isn't actually to create great products for their customers, it's to create value for shareholders, and they can more easily do that by locking users into their model.

> Do you have some solution to this age old conundrum?

Well, as it happens, the person you are replying to did have at least an outline of a solution in this case, which could be stated thus: analogies may be regarded as models to the extent that they are useful for making predictions or testing hypotheses. it probably needs some refinement (for example, analogies carefully-crafted to "predict" the outcome in very narrow cases, but which diverge significantly with modest changes, probably don't count), but it is about as good as you can get in pinning down the semantics of ordinary language.

For example, a hydraulic analogy to electric circuits may be useful in simple cases, but once reactive elements are introduced, it is probably time to abandon it. Similarly, the 'bowling-ball on a mattress' analogy for general relativity cannot even predict the precession of Mercury, while some hydraulic and acoustic models have, apparently, been useful for better understanding black holes (even though they also spawned ridiculous headlines like "Scientists Close in on Creating Black Hole in Lab."[1])

In the case of TFA, I personally feel that the analogy being pushed is at best useless and probably misleading for any purpose.

You're using a different benchmark: standard of living. I'm not sure it's a good one, given it isn't necessarily that linked to taxes, but either way, you're not arguing that the government taxing more doesn't look a lot like the communist countries of the 20th century (which is what I assume what the OP meant by "communist").

You cannot sign up for Netlifx on an iPhone, because Netflix either must make 30% less giving that cut to Apple, or charge 30% more.

The article is just random AI slop. They didn't bother installing Tox and asking LockBit for proof either.

I think it's just them being petty about something and memeing, but if not then we will know in ~30 hours.
Because we prefer to attribute big deeds (both positive and negative) to a single person rather than a collective. CEOs (and other "leaders") are good at spinning their good deeds as their achievements, while attributing their bad deeds to something else. This is because are brains are not large enough to track misbehaviour in large, anonymous groups, so we cannot prevent hierarchy forming as a sort of simplified model.

No one is concerned with Apple charging for its electronics.
What if we had like a fridge with glass window and drinks or snacks organized in rows with identifiers for each. You could enter the identifier and make your payment to the fridge and it would drop the corresponding drink/snack to a slot on the bottom of the fridge.
Rather, the goal was to lower ("subsidise") the purchase price (initial barrier) of the NES/SNES and then recoup it on licenses for cartridges. It makes each purchase of a console cheaper. It's the rational way to maximize revenue.

But Apple is not subsidising phones in any way.
While I think Apple's rules are ridiculous, it is pretty standard in the industry. AirBnB doesn't allow hosts to accept cash or arrange alternative payment. Amazon doesn't allow suppliers to offer direct sales to potential customers. Even Visa and Mastercard officially don't allow merchants to offer discounts for cash transactions (although many do anyway). Etc, etc. I think this should be a more general rule, no "platform" or "aggregator" should be allowed to prevent the free communication of users of their platform from arranging their deal elsewhere. Just because they met on the platform doesn't give the right to the platform to strong-arm their users into using them. The platform must compete with alternative payment methods on its own merits, such as convenience, security, etc., not by forcing people to use them just because they happen to be the matchmaker. Because this policy cements monopolies and rewards the largest incumbents.

I was curious to check out Lockbit’s dumps when they released Boeing’s ransomware files but it was painfully slow to download and turned out to be a bunch of uninteresting files from random HR and IT software and their databases.
The EU is too soft with Apple. Apple has consistently shown harmful intentions towards users, and it needs to change. They have had numerous opportunities to change but have refused to do so. I'm a big fan of Apple products, but I cannot accept the fact that I cannot install apps on my device from any source I want. Even if I develop my own app, I cannot install it on my iPhone. Why is the iPhone different from the Mac? It should be just as easy to install an app on the iPhone, simply download it and you're done, or drag and drop it from the desktop.

I hope the EU sets a precedent once and for all with a maximum fine (10% of global revenue).

It's also the case that vapes are entirely a waste of resources no matter how you cut it. There's no good reason they should exist, and so even the smallest amount of waste is still a negative. Conceptually, this is somewhat similar to spraying insecticide to protect people from Malaria (painful to spray so much poison, but there's a clear benefit) vs. a consumer spraying their back yard so they don't have to experience insects whatsoever. (no real benefit, and just as costly if done at scale)

Very much more than likely just a coincidence borne of a widespread industry dealing with a hazardous product, but it's strange to me that this happens alongside a major fire incident at a Scottish lithium recycling plant and so soon after the Russia/North Korea defence pact.

Given what's happening in Ukraine, lithium-powered drones of various types are clearly changing the game over there. It would, to me, make sense to 'cause problems' in that production pipeline.

These are apparently not large EV-type rechargeable lithium batteries, as I immediately assumed.

From the article: "Aricell makes lithium primary batteries for sensors and radio communication devices". A "primary battery" is non-rechargeable; and given the use-cases mentioned I expect each individual battery is fairly small.

Of course, when there are 10s of 1000s of them together that's still a lot of energy to burn.

I think it’s fascinating how political criticism of power and corrupt relationships between states has been tagged as “antisemitic”.

I would think that the label would be reserved for statements against the Semitic peoples, based on their heritage and culture? Not the overtly corrupt and often internationally illegal actions of their government?

It’s a very dangerous idea to put a nuclear capable nation above criticism.
