> We need new publishing models with strict copyright protections that protect against theft.

No, we need new publishing models that release the publicly-funded information into the public domain. If tax dollars paid for the research then there should be no copyright on the results of that research at all, owned by the publisher or authors.

This wouldn't represent a change for the authors anyway, who already are accustomed to having to sign away copyright (hence this story). The problem in this instance isn't that the papers are being fed into machine learning models, the problem is that the publisher is extracting a check for the privilege.

Why should I do that? An "argument" about nothing is hilarious.
It kind of makes me think of Steve Martin and the "Wild and Crazy Guy" character - which he clearly wanted to get away from.

This is interesting in of itself but it might be more useful if it was weighted for population (ie. traffic without deaths)
> Also calling the politics just a series of populists does not accurately represent the economic agendas which have been exactly the same thing (basically left leaning populism via a heavy administrative state)

I don't understand this paragraph. It's not a series of populists, because it's been the same populist agendas? Is there some typo?
It's the same in Australia. Speeding is quite uncommon and you'll be very quickly caught out.

Store users with an username/email and scrypt-encrypted password.

On login, pull the encrypted password where username = $1. Compare. If valid, create a session id (fill 16 bytes with a cryptographically secure random number generator and encode it), store it that in the db along the user_id and some expiration time.

You now have a session_id -> user_id mapping which can.

Then just note the vehicle volume and don't divide your deaths by volume? When you divide your deaths by volume you're implying that there's some value in a metric that amortizes deaths by vehicle volumes. Automobile volume is just one of several variables and simplifying this equation is why the US has a much higher traffic crash and fatality rate than any other developed country in the world.

Which is... true?
I can't imagine that being a compelling sales pitch even to domestic investors.

If Americans are trapped by tarrifs and have to buy whatever domestic-made rubbish is available, and you're not getting a high-quality workforce, why bother investing anything in new designs and manufacturing; hell, break out the old tooling and start cranking out Chrysler LeBarons again!

It's like we're determined to emulate the rapid economic miracles of Japan, South Korea, and the PRC but in reverse. And it's not even out of some principled stand like "we need degrowth to save the environment", but because rich people don't want to pay taxes for schools and infrastructure.

Dangerous goods shipping is about to get *even harder* than it already is... If I were to take a random guess, this had something to do with some dangerous goods being packed improperly or some other freak accident like that.
This is not even remotely cool. This shows a complete disregard for personal and professional boundaries and cultural norms. I have no idea how anyone thought cyber-stalking business people with a mixture of fraud, disregard for the dead, and non-consensual AI cloning was a good idea. Imagine placing your brand in the hands of a marketing agency with this level of judgement.

I've worked in fairly sensitive roles, and if a package like this arrived at my workplace the police would become involved immediately. And if asked whether I'd want to press charges, I would say yes, absolutely. When you've received death threats at work, and seen female colleagues receiving rape threats, your tolerance for this kind of crap wears thin.

And you can't have _just_ security updates, because the combinational complexity of security fixes across feature versions is insane, not to mention the fact that the interaction of the security and features changes can themselves introduce bugs. There's groups that try (eg distro maintainers) but it's ultimately a losing battle. I'm convinced that patching is only a bandaid, but it's also impossible to have 100% bug-free code, so there needs to be some sort of systematic solution on top of whatever particular code is running. Behavior analysis, egress network analysis, immutable by default images with strictly defined writeable volumes and strictly defined data that's going to be written there, etc. There's not a silver bullet, but I think patching and trying to keep up with updates is, like, a gallium bullet at best

Since the beginning of 2024, official exchange rate of Argentina peso to USD is relatively flat compared to the declining rate before Milei was elected. To me, this indicates that inflation is slowly stablizing. But I know there is also "unofficial" exchange rate people use in Argentina. Does anyone know how the unofficial exchange rate?
A great many people when they see a open straight road with little obstacles or pedestrians will go 45-50 MPH. A great many people when they see a 15 MPH sign will go 20 MPH. Pair that low speed limit with a "fast" road and you will end with many people going 45 MPH and many people going 20 MPH. This variance in speed, with some people going much slower than others can be more dangerous than if most went the same speed - e.g. if the limit were 45 MPH.

You are correct that people driving too fast make the road dangerous, but so does people driving too slow. Generally, from a safety point of view, you want the slowest speed at which almost everyone will actually drive at, as large variance in speed between drivers is dangerous. I think this is what the parent post was getting at: a speed limit too fast OR too slow will increase the number of accidents, keeping in mind that there will always be at least some drivers speeding.
Why does anyone concern themselves with the popular vote, when it comes down to the electoral college? The popular vote seems like a pointless metric.

I'd say you don't really understand Keynesian economics, also known as macroecon 101. Nowhere is it claimed that deficit spending promotes economic growth indefinitely and in all circumstances. Deficit spending (or just more spending, whether financed by deficits or not) can, and demonstrably does, temporarily dampen the effects of economic downturns. It can also promote economic growth if investments that are made will enable longer-term growth, e.g. by investing in infrastructure, education or research. Clearly none of that prescribes structural deficits ad infinitum and spending your way to hyperinflation in order to make good on idiotic populist promises, otherwise known as Argentinian macroecon 101 before Milei. The fact that it took chainsaw guy to trick Argentinians into electing someone who implements adult policies is a damning indictment of the average Argentinian voters, so I'd say leave poor John Maynard Keynes out of it, no one in Argentina was listening to him anyway, possibly ever.

Also, just say surplus.
I don't know what Pyxis runs on, my wife is the pharmacist and she doesn't recognize UI package differences with the same practiced eye that I do. And she didn't mention problems with the Pyxis. Just problems with some of their servers and lots of end user machines. So I don't know that they do.

That article's an awfully long winded way of declaring yourself an arrogant snob who's intolerant of those having an opinion he doesn't like.

Actually, to the layman on the street, both origins are reasonable, according to common sense.

Everyone's made a slip up at work before. We have prior examples of labs accidentally leaking biological materials before. That lab happened to be experimenting with the same type of viruses as corona. It also happened to be right next to where the first cases emerged. And after, the authorities wouldn't allow an investigation.

You'd have to be out of your mind to not view that as a plausible origin.

If you think there's reasons that isn't the origin, and you've proof it definitely came straight from the jungle, the professional approach is just to keep presenting your case. Not having a tantrum like a little child because other people are maintaining opinions different to yours.

This is an interesting case study in how a reporter decides to word some basic facts. Here, the economy "surged by 1.3%", but in the cited source (Bloomberg), the economy "rose by 1.3%".

To jump on a related article since it's linked and comments are now closed: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/stable-software-release-sys...

The 2021/2022/2023/2024 version-numbering schemes are for applications, not libraries, because applications are essentially not ever semver-stable.

That's perfectly reasonable for them. They don't need semver. People don't build against jetbrains-2024.1, they just update their stuff when JetBrains breaks something they use (which can happen at literally any time, just ask plugin devs)... because they're fundamentally unstable products and they don't care about actual stability, they just do an okay job and call it Done™ and developers on their APIs are forced to deal with it. Users don't care 99%+ of the time because the UI doesn't change and that is honestly good enough in nearly all cases.

That isn't following semver, which is why they don't follow semver. Which is fine (because they control their ecosystem with an iron fist). It's a completely different relationship with people looking at that number.

For applications, I totally agree. Year-number your releases, it's much more useful for your customers (end-users) who care about if their habits are going to be interrupted and possibly how old it is. But don't do it with libraries, it has next to nothing to do with library customers (developers) who are looking for mechanical stability.
That was October 2015.

Maybe, if there's a new zero-day major exploit that is spreading like wildfire. That's not the normal case. Most successful exploits and ransom attacks are using old vulnerabilites against unpatched and unprotected systems.

Mostly, if you are reasonably timely about keeping updates applied, you're fine.
that cover is great!

Many thanks for your support. When we were preparing this, I was ready to get a lot of hate as Linux community is overly technicall and visually they don't really like change that much. That's why hearing support is very much appreciated by me and my team.

The reason why it looks sort of like Mac is:

- Sans fonts. But we wanted to keep fonts open-source, simple and versatile, so it can be easily used in different context and wouldn't require overcomplicated guidelines. Therefore, primary + secondary font structure is less efficient in this case due to a more complicated hierarchy maintenance in the future

- Simple logo. Same reason as the fonts - the more complicated it is, the harder it will be in maintenance and the more design resource it would require. I mean even current LM materials has 12 variations of the logo and it's a mess.

Stock people - I mean there are just two, if I don't count the login screen. The first one (with a logo on the back of a long sleeve) is there to show that logo can be used for the physical items as well. The second one in the interface is there to mainly show a profile UI but I think we should have went with a default icon (if the user keeps it blank) instead.

And you are totally right about how hard it is to push for the design solutions in OSS. We started this initiative in June LAST YEAR but soon found out that many people don't understand the whole reason for a brand redesign and don't see how brand creates a visual foundation. So then after some time, we decided that we need to create a brand concept to show specifically how brand creates a visual system, so it would be clear for the community and the devs why you can't start just with the website updates or UI/UX detached from the rest.

And indeed most of the negative feedback right now can be grouped into unwilling to change or tech people preferences.

When we think of Linux Mint though, in it's core it is about being more user-centric and friendly than other Linux distros. This also means that you need to be very beginner friendly - that's why Cinnamon is so Window-like in the first place. Both of these things mean that from a visual standpoint it can't allow itself to be technical and shouldn't follow aesthetics preferred by most of the tech crowd (and I mean why if we have Arch, Manjaro, Debian, etc. for really advanced users who don't care about the GUI). It also means that it needs to be willing to change cause users preferences grow, interface assumptions slowly change with our devices and products we use. And it should be simple for the easy maintenance (but I talked about this one already).
This will be used out of context to justify deployment of nuclear in Australia, despite the fact the US has an active industry, experience of build and is therefore in late stage technology curve for cost.

Australia has one research swimming pool reactor, no power reactors, and nuclear power is banned in statute at state and federal level. To believe the cost of deployment here in time or money sense is low because "nuclear is back" in America is wishful thinking. But I fully expect to see the arguments rehearsed.

At best this will push out cost of construction down to its lower side estimates. It won't alter the inevitable planning, approval, legislative and protest bound delays which continue to dog deployment of nuclear power, across a time of continued improvement in levelled cost of energy for wind, battery and solar as well as the build out of pumped hydro.

By the time nuclear could be deployed here, the amount of baseload it could price into will be far smaller and the demand based case will be even smaller than at present.
I hear it was that Ron guy's fault
The Internet Archive et al alleviates the majority of those concerns. And it isn't publishers in and of themselves that make a work credible, but the peer reviewers. I can easily see some extra function on IA that allows verified users, some of whom will be peers, to formally review and endorse works. Want to find high quality works? Search and filter by number of endorsing reviewers with related works on their profile.
I use LLM output from kagi too. But given the rate of straight-up factually incorrect stuff that comes out of it, I need it to come with a credible source that I can verify. If not, I'm not taking any of it seriously.
you log into the machine, download files, load files onto the program. that doesn't need a desktop environment? you want to reimplement half of one, poorly, because that would have avoided this stupid mistake, in exchange for half a dozen potential others, and a worse customer experience?
Seriously. A very wise man once said as much.

The old school sysadmins who know technology well are still around but there is increasingly less of them while the demand skyrockets as our species gives computers an increasing number of responsibilities.

There is tremendous demand for technology that works well and works reliably. Sure, setting up a database running on an EC2 instance is easy. But do you know all of the settings to make the db safe to access? Do you maintain it well, patch it, replicate it, etc? This can all be done by one of the old school sysadmins. But they are rare to find, and not easy to replace. It's hard to judge from the outside, even if you are an expert in the field.

So when the job market doesn't have the amount of sysadmins/devops engineers available, then the cloud offers a good replacement. Even if you as an individual company can solve it by offering more money and having a tougher selection process, this doesn't scale over the entire field, as at that point the whole number of available experts comes in.

Aurora is definitely expensive, but there is cheaper alternatives to it. Full disclosure, I'm employed by one of these alternative vendors (Neon). You don't have to use it, but many people do and it makes their life easier. The market is expected to grow a lot. Clouds seem to be one of the ways our industry is standardizing.

AI is still not able to re-appropriate paper from meaningful books. Yet.
That isn’t how Occam’s Razor works.

Also SARS-CoV-2 lineages are still much more deadly and cause many more hospitalizations than the common cold. They haven’t magically mutated to be less significant, those who survived have more and wider spread partial immunity and we have, over time, developed better treatment protocols. In a hundred years or more SARS-CoV-2 won’t be killing a significant number of the elderly and the immune-compromised every year, but right now it’s still a leading reaper.

>1) the heat trapped by the methane stays trapped even after it has decayed

Not really. It would be present, but not trapped. Absent other factors, that would mean earth is above its equilibrium temperature and would cool once methane loss permits it to radiate heat more effectively. Either that or it shoots us in the face with a clathrate gun. There's really only one way to find out.
My favourite example of this is that the number of condoms used in the USA, according to surveys, is dramatically higher than the number of condoms sold in the USA.
Well, Argentina has been in recession for more than a decade. Now, he's cut 30% of the government spending and... the economy is back to growth.

So, sorry for destroying your Keynesian beliefs.
Every real and legally existing company makes the world better than without it.

Even if only by providing income for employees and paying taxes.

But most companies also take part in producing or redistributing something valuable.

And yes, to make an omelet you need to break some eggs.

Show me a living person (let alone a company) who doesn't produce any waste and who never does any evil - and yet here we are, still evolving, still growing economy, still improving the quality of life all over the world.

Despite all the problems, crisises, setbacks etc.

That is as objective as you can possibly get in such a generic discussion.

What’s the point of the question?
Not sure what the data source is, but I crossed referenced with local news of pedestrian traffic deaths, and they aren't showing up on the map.
A tree going down on a power line is a solved problem in most of the civilized world: Just cut down trees that are too close to power lines. Having a few dozen meters of buffer or a sturdy railing between roads and power lines also prevents cars from crashing into them.

Not sure in what way high poverty levels invalidate the idea of the economy growing beyond expectations. Rwanda's economy is growing quite fast while we here in Canada are experiencing at best zero growth. That isn't really related to how our poverty levels compare.
Rural areas don’t have much political power either. A lot of rural America is actually unincorporated which means they don’t have a municipal level government, and instead are ruled by the county[^†].

In my experience the outsized political power is across gegraphic areas and instead is divided between classes, with the rich having almost all political power. A rich neighborhood in San Francisco hold much more political power than an improvised suburb in Fresno.

Instead the reason I believe for pedestrian traffic being considered the "cost of doing business" among the political classes, is the good old hatred of the poor. Pedastrian casualties are extremely rare among the rich, as the rich usually drive almost everywhere, and if they walk, they do so in an area which they have lobbied to make safe for pedestrians. The rich don’t care if the poor die.

†: As an immigrant, this feels like a major democratic oversight, one of many USA should fix if it wants to consider it self a democracy by 21st century standards.
