I'm a bit confused. You're claiming what I'm saying is false, but you're just referring to someone advising something as a precaution? Do you have a primary source for a legislation mandating cookie banners? (Also, is there a cookie banner on apple.com?)

There is no "disproportionate punishment" under GDPR in practice, unless you're doing something egregious, and even then (see Facebook). I'm very familiar with the UK regulator, they publish their enforcement actions [1]. I'm not aware of a single case of a cautionary letter, much less "disproportionate punishment", that they sent over a cookie banner on its own. Are you?

Besides, you correctly hinted at the incentive structure. Your lawyer might advise you to slap a cookie banner just because because they have zero incentive not to, they don't care about your users' experience. You might care though. Personally I consulted multiple external DPOs and lawyers, as well as primary sources, before forming my opinion.

“jj commit” = “jj describe; jj new”. Basically, jj doesn’t force you to wait until you’re “done” with some work to write the VCS message for it.
You have this backwards, the valve is to let the Helium out.

The watch was designed for saturation diving - people essentially living at high pressure in a pressure cylinder, breathing a mixed gas which includes a high helium percentage (as nitrogen becomes narcotic). This saved them hours of decompression every dive - just do one decompression at the end of the job.

The problem was despite all of the seals to withstand seawater, the watches would let helium in & gradually equalise the internal & external pressures. All fine until they came up to the surface, when the watch would blow the crystal off, as the helium couldn't escape quickly enough to equalise. The Helium valve is there to release this pressure on ascent.

The sea dweller was designed as a highly specialised tool for a specialised industry, before becoming luxury item.
A whole bunch of GLI.NET devices use SOCs, where Linux mainline kernel support was never upstreamed. So buying GLI.NET is not a surefire way to obtain Hardware, that's runs 'Proper OpenWrt', you still have to check the HCL, or better/up2date, the list of DTS files in the current git master of openwrt.
You do know many devices like Raspberry CM have FCC/IC modular pre-compliance, and thus usually only require LAB EMI testing under the rules.

The primary problem with mystery-parts is they tend to have issues with RoHS documentation, complex customs clearance requirements, and unknown specifications.

DIY evaluation kits people assemble do fall under a sort of gray area, but if your hardware does splatter the RF spectrum it is a $1m fine in the US, and a $5k fine + up to 5 years in jail in Canada.

Unshielded RAM, USB/PCI to Ethernet, and Video GPU chips will often just barely pass EMI testing under ideal circumstances. Cheap stuff from the mystery bins will usually just glean the FCC id off a refrigerator to get through customs.

Have a nice day, =3
Reading this, it doesn’t seem like they’re really doing anything more than building a glorified raspberry pi with their own self-spun BSD distro preinstalled. Also the FAQ being mostly Q: „why not use X?“, A: „I don’t know X and thus it’s bloated/I don’t like it“ doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.

I admire their dedication and it seems like a fun project. I don’t think it’s something a lot of people will pay money for though.
GitHub uses Slack, and has done since long before the Microsoft acquisition. GitHub also does a ton of chat-ops, or at least used to, so their migration from Campfire to Slack was a big move for the company, I doubt they want to move again.
How much hidden audio could be stored?

Was it limited to something negligible like a couple of seconds?

Or could you store a whole five-minute recording in there or something?
The public is not learning from it. A person or corporation is creating a derivative work of it. Training a model is deriving a function from the training data. It is not "a human learning something by reading it".
I always think the same thing, but then I think actually it's just whatever-bias: the ones that have got it figured out I'm not thinking about it or don't even realise they're similar companies.

And some you do realise but are pretty legit now, like Anker. Vevor is on its way perhaps.

But yes, it does often seem pretty nuts; even a font change would go a long way in many cases. They always use the same ancient computer-has-one-font (we didn't buy the other floppy) looking thing.
Big question: this thing called “training” AI off of data, how much of this is “training” and how much of this is “synthesizing”? It seems like if code is being copied and rephrased, it is synthetic. Not much “learning” and “training” going on here.
Without copyright, entire industries would've been dead a long time ago, including many movies, games, books, tv, music, etc.

Just because their lobbies tend to push the boundary of copyright into the absurd doesn't mean these industries aren't worth saving. There should be actually respectful lawmakers who seek for a balance of public and commercial interests.
You’re right, I was wrong. Thank you for the gentle lesson. :)
What's wrong with NATO expanding? It's a voluntary organization that protects member states from aggressors? It's like saying a shelter for abused women is also somehow partially responsible for domestic abuse... One side is protecting the other is attacking. South ossetia, crimea, abkhazia are all examples of what happens if you live too close to russia and aren't protected by nato lol
Could be using something like Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence, which claims to use a map of the entire internet.

During 18+ years of working at a Japanese company in Tokyo, my train fare to and from work was paid with a pass from the company. This was true for all our employees, and other companies offered the same perk to their employees.

The pass was free and good for travel at any time along that route.
Looks very weird. No LCD screen, but presumably it’ll plug into a monitor? Seems like just pointing out expected use cases would go a long way.
I remember my friend accidentally found the negative track on a CD and called me up out of breath like aliens just landed. I think it was one of the early AFI albums.We spent the whole weekend checking for negative tracks on every CD we could find.

The negatives between songs were also pretty cool sometimes, Mediocre Generica by Leftover Crack makes very good use of them. Listening to it over streaming or even mp3s ruins the effect, unless someone captured the entire album as one file.

This is the "it was only a prank bro" excuse for the idea of "defund the police".

No, defund the police means defund the police... not defund some subsection of policing to fund another new section of policing.

"Defund the police" is as hilarious as it is backwards as a statement.
This is kind of an aside, but the huge AI-generated image at the top immediately stops me in my tracks, and kills any desire to read the rest of the article. Is the text AI too? Is this just AI slop to spam up Google? It's so offputting.

I've read it, but it doesn't quite answer my question. What I'm hearing is basically "well, it's nicer". Sure, I can believe that even not delving into the subject, because pretty much everything is nicer than git. A bunch of aliases and 3rd party diff are nicer than default git too, I don't think this is what we are talking about. But what problem it solves?

You are saying that rebase-interactive workflow is broken. I do rebase-interactive a lot. Well, maybe it is broken, maybe I would get annoyed about it beyond belief if I spent as much time messing with its internals as you (supposedly) did. But I don't think I often have problems with it as a user. I guess conflict-handling could have been much smarter, but if I keep "temporary" commits very small and atomic it somehow manages to do the job better than I sometimes expect, and in the end I don't think I have any problems with it whatsoever. So, once again, what is the problem jj solves? Can you give some practical, not overly-contrived example when using jj over git is not "nice", but significantly useful, when it saves me somehow?
In some cases a CVV can still result in a cheaper rate for the merchant on the transaction.

In other cases I've seen the lack of CVV entry result in my card provider triggering a curious 2fa-esque flow with my card provider (I can't remember the name for it) or in other cases, the card provider can just nope out. (Or trigger a fraud alert)

Curb 'stupid plastics' and stop industry BS: urgent actions to prevent a crisis
Odd that Angela Merkel was born in West Germany but her family moved to East Germany when she was an infant (I guess on PURPOSE?) talk about the wrong move of a lifetime. Anyway a little history

“Merkel was elected to the Bundestag for the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. As the protégée of chancellor Helmut Kohl, Merkel was appointed as Minister for Women and Youth in 1991, later becoming Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety in 1994.”

I would hope she knew a thing or two about nuclear

A key finding that the judge said in the Authors Guild v. Google case was that the authors benefited from the tool that google created. A search tool is not a replacement for a book, and are much more likely to generate awareness of the book which in turn should increase sales for the author.

AI platforms that replaces and directly compete with authors can not use the same argument. If anything, those suing AI platforms are more likely to bring up Authors Guild v. Google as a guiding case to determine when to apply fair use.
> you could make that argument about factory near some trailer park or poor area, but not really about us.

That's the entire point. We're privileged. My god. My example was literally a mom in a factory with starving children who began building bombs instead of cars.
This concept only works if the poor people risk it for the gains. That's becoming not the case anymore with most theft in the modern world.
They absolutely are empowered to abridge your civil liberties. Firefighters can break into your home, smash out the windows, cut holes in the roof and leave you with the bill without ever asking your permission. Not to mention what they can do to your vehicle it happens to be in the way of their engines. Then they and the city can prevent you from re-entering your home until they consider it safe.
>more dangerous if it combusts. R1234yf turns into carbonyl fluoride when ignited, which is close to phosgene the WW1 poison gas.

Sounds scary, but is there any reason to believe this actually would occur?

For instance, wikipedia lists "a propellant for the delivery of pharmaceuticals (e.g. bronchodilators), wine cork removers, gas dusters ("canned air")" as other uses for it. If it's really as dangerous at it's made out to be, shouldn't we be hearing more about this causing issues from other uses?

As with all Apple APIs (especially newer ones) watch the WWDC sessions and read the Apple documentation first instead of trying to sling it. It makes it way more intuitive.
Call me crazy but, WASM won't replace JavaScript. There are so many cases where a simple script will do. Firing up a terminal, writing in another language, compiling and going through the trouble to turn something simple into WASM is actually the crazy thing to do.

It's equally plausible to say you don't intend to reproduce copyrighted code verbatim but occasionally do so given either a sufficiently specific prompt or because the reproduced code is so generic that it probably gets rewritten a hundred times a day because that's how people learned to do basic things from books or documentation or their education.

Speaking of refrigerators, are there any consumer level brands now that don't completely suck? It seems like longevity and reliability of refrigerators has fallen off a cliff lately.

Unfortunately some motorsport event organizers barely break even, especially post-covid in CA, although it is picking up slightly this year. It is hard for them to justify $2-4k for a new display or timing system, whereas it's a few hours of work for me to do most repairs.
What if Panama invited China to establish a giant military base on its territory, given that they were unlawfully invaded and occupied by the US just a few decades ago and presumably have an interest in preventing it from happening again? Do you think the US govt would be cool with that? Why not? Doesn't Panama have a right to choose their own allies, and also discourage a future invasion from the US? Why would the US object to this at all unless they were planning a future unlawful invasion?

I'll close with a quote from former CIA director Bill Burns, who tried to talk the Bush administration out of pushing for NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia (this is from 2008):

"Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin's sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests. At this stage, a MAP [Membership Action Plan] offer would be seen not as a technical step along a long road toward membership, but as throwing down the strategic gauntlet. Russia will respond. Russian-Ukrainian relations will go into a deep freeze…. It will create fertile soil for Russian meddling in Crimea and eastern Ukraine."
Right but Chrome isnt?
Section 6.2 of the paper says Google does traffic engineering (i.e. designating some traffic to be latency tolerant). That's just what solution 3 is in the article. For a single company, of course it can prioritize different traffic differently. It would be more troublesome for an ISP to do the same.
That doesn’t explain how the sources and background materials from the reporting would be relevant. It just seems like a background way to intimidate those who came forward and to be able to run a smear campaign against them.
>No generation has ever left anything better than that to the future ones.

???

We were leaving some of the best products of our labour in the 1800s and early 1900s (for some parts of the world).

I think you're misunderstanding the point of tech fading but infrastructure staying.

For innovation, sure, it's going to fade, but there are thousands of things we know that do not fade that we could be building today to leave our next generations. That is what they did. We do not do it, not even slightly... AND it's easier for us to do so, yet still we don't.
> At the same time they do have great impact on the lives of ex-USSR citizens.

No, that is not true at all. If we count all the people who lived directly in the USSR and in the Eastern Bloc dictatorships under Russian control, then that's about 100 million people who have gained the same rights and opportunities as the French, Italians and other European nations enjoy. Impacted are only those who never chose to participate in European initiatives that have brought people so closely together. It was Russia's choice to stay out of them and thus it's strange to see complaints that you feel left out.

> I do remember that EU and USA had spent good amount of money and effort to undermine any attempts for Russian Federation to form such bonds with any of its neighbours, and to replace any Russian-sympathetic government of these countries.

I trust the recollections of people who were actually at the helm of Russia over yours, for I doubt you were even born then. As the minister of the foreign affairs of the Russian Federation 1990-1996, Andrei Kozyrev was the top man in charge of restoring Russia's relations with the world, and he tells a quite different story. In short, KGB hardliners refused to accept loss of their special privileges and fought back against opening Russia up to the world. They wanted a hermit kingdom that would serve as their personal piggy bank with them at the top. By hook and by crook, they took over the entire Russian government and turned it into a dictatorship led by low-level KGB apparatchik.

According to Kozyrev, Europe and the US can only be blamed - if at all - for not intervening strongly enough to keep Russia on track of becoming a modern country. They could've done more to support people who tried to steer Russia towards freedom, peace and prosperity, but ultimately it is up to Russians to take care of their garden.

Fast-forward 25 years, and we have Putin and his gang in palaces and on superyachts while you have "precious social cohesion" dying under American missiles on the potato fields of Ukraine. How can you not feel robbed and made a fool?

And like stereotypical abusers, to isolate and manipulate you, Putin constantly feeds you lies that everyone else is out to humiliate and mistreat you. You have internalized it to such extent that you not only believe it yourself, but try to convince others that it is true. It is not true and it never was.

The door to Europe was open to you. It was literally official policy in many parts of Europe. You only had to take a step. At the critical point in history, you failed to make the right decision and take advantage of the opportunity.

You can spin coping stories about Crimea all you want if they comfort you and help to forget this gigantic blunder, but with a navy that ran away to avoid being wiped out, an army whose HQs and staging areas get blown up so often that news have stopped reporting them, and an air force that is unable to fly over Crimea without being shot down, the chances of victory over Ukraine look slimmer than ever. You aren't the first Nazis to invade Crimea and hold it for a while, with an illusion that it will last forever.
