I agree normal correct unsurprising process etc., but I suppose the reason it's more interesting/newsworthy than if it were Airbus is just because it comes after all the other issues, so 'oh, another issue' becomes part of the story even if it's being handled correctly and could as well have happened to another company.

It happens for example with car recalls too, there's a high profile issue that affects a lot of them or sounds particularly bad; then if there's a smaller more mundane issue they also have to recall a few for it gets attention it wouldn't have otherwise.
It is legal, for some types of water rights. Not all. And yes, water moves. Downhill. All by itself.

Rights can be transferred to different owners along its path. It doesn't matter if the new owner is upstream or downstream, as long as you are talking about the same source. So while you are correct that a farmer wouldn't sell their rights to someone hundreds of miles away, they absolutely can sell to someone else in the same community.
Teams is already chaotic for development. The documentation mixes between multiple deprecated versions already. This is just going to add to the chaos. It feels like there is no-one at Microsoft responsible for "Teams" as a product. Instead it's the bastard orphan that gets bits given and taken away as each department takes a swing at it. At this point, I would genuinely say it's the current most hated Microsoft product in daily use. And for good reason.
How come Windows works on ARM but there's no way to run it bare metal on Apple Silicon? Asahi works so Microsoft should have the resources to port it shouldn't they?
This reminds me, and perhaps a perfect example of writing useless software[1] and the subsequent HN discussion[2].

Is it a life changer? Probably not. Was it fun to write and explore? Most likely!

We definitely need to make more stuff like this.

They've reverted to the original adhesive, so it must have been available. It says so in the article.
Is the an EU regulation response thing? The article doesn’t mention that but I’m not very familiar with this offering so I wasn’t sure.
> That's exactly the point. Processing of personal data to identify a unique person.

Not sure thats what i said. They cannot identify unique person. They identify unique legitimate visits per one day.

If logs and firewalls mean legitimate interest because you have to give server your ip address for everything to work then using same thing can be said about plausible especially since the ip address is immediately thrown away unlike with firewalls where the main point is to keep record of bad actors.

It is very different to google analytics where whole point is to pinpoint repeating visitors, their behaviour etc. You simply can't do that with service like plausible. What you can do is know how many legitimate visits you had and what was visited. For most websites that is enough at same time i would be surprised if not knowing how many people visited your site would not be legitimate requirement for service to function.

It's a clickbait title, this is not what they are arguing

> "Because copyright today covers virtually every sort of human expression — including blog posts, photographs, forum posts, scraps of software code, and government documents — it would be impossible to train today's leading AI models without using copyrighted materials," the company wrote in the evidence filing. "Limiting training data to public domain books and drawings created more than a century ago might yield an interesting experiment, but would not provide AI systems that meet the needs of today's citizens."

> OpenAI went on to insist in the document, submitted before the House of Lords' communications and digital committee, that it complies with copyright laws and that the company believes "legally copyright law does not forbid training."
FWIW you can do your taxes online in Germany as well. That includes digital communications (even if they still send you a hardcopy).

Building Slack: Year 1
It's unfortunate that there is so much proprietary software in the wild that is forever stuck targeting x86. If we move past x86 on the desktop in our lifetimes, I bet a large percentage of people using desktops will continue to carry around x86 emulators for the rest of our lives.
Unfortunately it's quite broken on vertical mobile, none of the "Drag" animations work and the footnotes are oddly mashed into the left side, forcing text to flow around it on the right.
From Portland, I miss Wacky Willy's. https://everything2.com/title/Wacky+Willy%2527s

As a kid, I somehow obtained a vintage Xerox 860 IPS (awesome once crazy-expensive word processor, which I used to type my resume for my first teen software engineering job), and was missing a small part... and a back corner of Wacky Willy's just happened to have a rare incomplete 850 or two.

Another time, right after I got that job, I was in Wacky Willy's with my brother, and was trying to trade in something for a store T-shirt, saying I worked out by Tektronix/Intel/Sequent/etc., and it would be good advertising (still thinking like a teen, trying to make a deal for something I wanted), and the guy kindly gave me two T-shirts (one for my brother).

Today, eBay fills much of the role of being able to find what you need, and sometimes good deals, and even some browsing fun. (I'd be very sad if eBay went away.) But eBay is not hands-on and physical awe, and of course it's more transactional.
Interesting, first time I heard about sljit.

> Although sljit does not support higher level features such as automatic register allocation

I don't quite see how it can be architecture independent if it doesn't do register allocation. Does it use a small fixed amount of virtual registers which work on every target? Or does it spill virtual registers to memory if required?

> The key design principle of sljit is that it does not try to be smarter than the developer.

> This principle is achieved by providing control over the generated machine code like assembly languages.

So it sounds like this is essentially your LLVM backend, taking care of going from intermediate representation to machine code.

Optimisations have to be done separately.

I see how a lightweight code generator could be quite useful, is sljit used in any larger projects?
That is a blast from the past! This was around the time of slide-out keyboards, right? I remember using this now too.

Just make more public how good their targeting database is. For example, tell their customers.

The tragedy that inspired Zombie – The Cranberries' biggest hit
Sure, I agree, society and law are not often in sync. Sometimes the law changes first, other times society changes first.

Going back to the voting rights, prior to ~1830 no women had the right to vote, but nor did more than 90% of men. By 1928 all men and all women had the right to vote. So in that 100 year period men went from <10% to 100% and women from 0 to 100%.

We all know about women's suffrage, but nobody seems to mention that it took men about 100 years to achieve it. For women it came almost in one fell swoop starting in 1918 and ending in 1928.

So the assumption is that in the past 100 years men must have achieved "true" equality, but somehow women have not. I say that's rubbish. I think the natural order of things - the order that gave us the pre-1830 laws - has prevailed despite the law. That is to say, a few men have a vastly disproportionate amount of power. Everything else is trivia happening amongst the lower classes.
I quite despise Apple but... you can. I think every Apple store that I have seen or been in has display models that you can just walk up to and start doing stuff on.

Even non-Apple stores that sell Apple devices like BestBuy or Walmart tend to have display devices you can try out.

If the fines are meaningful, they'll primarily hurt shareholders. It's possible a corporation will try to mitigate some of the costs by downsizing, but that's no different from any other corporation with a non-working business plan.

Sparing shareholders for the costs of the choices their leadership made is a recipe for continued disinterest. Why bother appointing boards and CEO's that will avoid this stuff if they're always able to shift the costs to somebody else?

Just because a company has employees does not mean it appropriate to shield it from consequences of its actions.
As a country we're already trying this in NYC with the migrants. Some are given homes in shelters and others in local hotels. I believe some receive a small stipend (according to Newsweek a family of four can receive $1400).

It's not a perfect system, but it's better than leaving them homeless. Maybe it's the model we need to follow for our own homeless.
I'd rather have to rely on physical mail than have to rely on a smartphone or other digital device for dealing with my government to be honest. Better to have the choice of course but if it would be only one then the former might be an inconvenience but the latter can turn into a real nightmare.
Not going to happen. Expect worse that Asahi Linux state level of support.
Fallacy. Just because your preferred belief framework has no supporting evidence or research doesn’t mean an actual science that you don’t like isn’t actual science. In other words, you can create your own alternative facts but they still aren’t facts.
The crucial difference being that Apples developer ecosystem is accustomed to jumping through whatever hoops Apple demands when they deprecate something, while Microsoft has built their brand on keeping Windows software working forever if at all possible. There's ups and downs to both approaches, but for an ISA transition the Apple way of dictating that everyone will switch or get left behind is obviously a huge advantage.

Apple is so aggressive about deprecation that it wouldn't be surprising if they remove Rosetta 2 within in a few years and kill any software which didn't get updated to ARM, just like they killed 32bit Intel software, and PPC software before that. Microsoft is never going to be able to do that.
The biggest advantage is that Microsoft somehow was able to bring a proper regular Windows to ARM devices. Now I don't if it still has the same level of BC support as x86 Windows, but still it is impressive.
Possibly vaporware, though. Sorry for sounding so skeptic, I've seen too many announcements of cool devices I'd buy that later turned out to be twice as expensive as initially suggested, or they simply never became available anywhere in Europe. Companies should only announce devices when they can be actually bought.
Sometimes things are just objectively good. I have many, many complaints about Apple but their hardware, laptops in particular, are first in class.

edit: c'mon, don't complain about downvotes. You're getting downvoted because you're not offering a useful contribution, not because everyone in the world is an Apple fanboy.
Assuming a drive contains helium at standard temparature and pressure, and contains about a liter in volume. That would be about 1 gram worth of helium per drive.
> Asahi works so Microsoft should have the resources to port it shouldn't they?

Asahi works because open source devs working for free made it work by reverse engineering stuff.

But why should Microsoft spend the effort to make Windows work on Apple Silicon, when by far the biggest benficiary of that would be Apple who would sell more hardware? Apple should be the one to invest resources to do it. Not to mention that if Microsoft did it, Apple could throw a wrench in it at any time, leaving Microsoft with users that expect support that it can't support because Apple won't let it (or makes it more difficult than it needs to be).
>And that’s the larger point. The Justice Department seems to believe it’s meaningful to charge a company with a felony. But it’s not. Companies don’t commit felonies—people do. And if people aren’t held responsible—and sent to prison when necessary—then they’ll never have the incentive they need to change.

This is at the core of the issue, but as the author points out, it's extremely unlikely to happen.

>The settlement makes it obvious that the government is afraid of what would happen—not just to Boeing but to the Defense Department and even the larger economy—if it hit the company as hard as the company deserves to be hit.

Boeing is very much too Big™ to (be allowed to) fail, and thus the actual individuals who are responsible for killings hundreds of people will walk away and be replaced by another set of people who will know that they can do the exact same thing with impunity.
Can you use a ton of extensions with a managed Postgres, or should you just host it yourself?
> Believe it or not, a lot of large organisations opt into systems like this.

The way you describe it, I can see that being a viable product. To some extend this could be HP so focused on a very niche segment, like Microsoft with Recall, that HP+ actually seems like a sensible idea. They then forget about the fact that this is just a small segment of they customer base, but they don't really communicate with the rest, so they just roll out this product to everyone and it fails.

However, HP isn't keeping this around, they are discontinuing the product line all together, and from the article it seems like they also forgot about the needs of those large organisations (can't assume that the printers are allowed online, for good reason).

It does seems like it could be a reasonable, but probably less profitable business, if it had been better designed and targeted.
This is awesome and I love hacks[1] like this. On the other hand, if I remember correctly, I've checked recently and global DNS in skywifi seemed to resolve fine without paying. So I think - at least in the plane I was in - just a regular iodine [2] tunnel would work

I feel a bad for CA people, I cannot believe this is happening so soon after all the rain and snow I heard they got over the Winter.

I remember years ago when they suggested 5 minute showers (maybe 15). My manager lived in that area, I lived in a are were water is coming out of our ears 365 days a year, so to speak.

I said to her, "5 mins ? When I hop in the shower in the morning, 30 minutes go by before I even realize I am in the shower".

That is one thing I need, a long hot shower. Living there would mean no one would not want to be near me. My managers would beg me to Work from Home. :)
Yes indeed. Us greybeards were tunneling ssh through DNS using a Perl-based hacking tool thrown together by Dan Kaminsky in 2004 called “OzymanDNS”. DNS tunneling is now ubiquitously used for data exfiltration and consequently all major DNS platforms have methods to detect it.

Mind you, this was before the age of WiFi on airplanes. But within other gated networks, it used to work quite well. I recall getting tens of Kbps.
Much of the stuff which Mac users brag about, like long battery life or efficiency under heavy workloads, is stuff that you can't easily test with a display model. You need to make it your daily driver for a week to get the whole picture.
How? The Raspberry Pi and company run on ARM just fine? Assuming all the hardware components are the same or similar, I'm not seeing how it could be drastically worse. I guess missing drivers?
Just discovered this piece of software on my own about two months ago.

Thank you for making - and giving away - such a valuable tool. I am a huge fan and very grateful to you and your team.

The needed prerequisite for staying is arriving. Unlike M1, I have yet to see all these new Qualcomm ARM AI buzzword wunderwaffen. We're at a point where a 8yo computer works exceedingly well and a real breaktrough is needed to signify any real generational shift.

No, it wasn't. You had a daily quota of 10 free downloads per day.

As nobody reads more then 10 books each day, it was effectively free.

After the 10 downloads you'd have to pay, but get effectively unlimited access after.
The solution:

- They moved all the casing openings to the top of the drive and used a thin metal foil as a second cover.

- They adapted laser welding techniques from the satellite industry to seal the foil to the casing without damaging components with excess heat.

- They found an aluminum alloy used in aerospace that could withstand the laser welding without cracking.

- To get electricity and data in and out without breaking the seal, they used glass-metal feedthroughs similar to those used to seal Freon in refrigerators.

- To get the solder to adhere when attaching the feedthroughs, they used a nickel plating mask.

Probably either an unwillingness from Apple to share HW documentation with MS or MS viewing Apple as a direct competitor now that they have their own machines so they prefer not to undermine their own business.
Boeing isn't too big to fail, nothing is. That whole concept has always bothered me. We absolutely can let companies and banks that size fail. Sure there will be a lot of damage caused, but that's called taking responsibility for our mistakes and learning from them. You can't sweep problems under the rug forever.

It's not the condom that is being perceived negatively, it's the diseases that are.

If your aim is to keep profit expectation of violations at no more than zero, then it's also necessary to hold company _owners_ liable for more than their shares are worth. Otherwise, corporations will just play shells games (which they already do for all kinds of liability) to reduce the fines to peanuts via limited liability/bankruptcy. The chance of that reform seems very slim, so perhaps we could at least tax shell companies some percentage of both revenue and value, and not just profits - to represent the real costs of shifting liability. Not that that's likely either, but we can dream.

It baffles me that they're not similarly afraid of what might happen to those same entities if they don't hit Boeing as hard as it deserves. It's clear they need a serious shakeup.

You don't have to smash the company to bits to achieve it, either. You just have to instill a little personal fear in the C-suite that at a certain point prioritizing profits over lives becomes personal criminal liability.
