Very well put.

Though (as others have pointed out), common small firearms are not well-suited to this use case. Might you know about the legality of spearguns, or similar weapons?

I'd guess that small explosive charges - typically used for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_fishing - would be both "obvious", and easily available to those least inclined to lawful behavior. And it'd be easy enough to check whether their use would attract real naval or coast guard attention.
“Admits” implies that this unnamed retired astronaut was not being honest before.

And, the only real reporting done was from The Atlantic, not this clickbait mill.
when a theory makes claims about events that fall outside of the physical system they become metaphysical:

age of the universe,

teleology,

primacy of logic (are we allowing for the law of excluding middle or not)

The most telling feature of the DMA is that it doesn't include Spotify.

Spotify would not be compliant under the DMA for the same reason why the EU has charged Meta with non-compliance:

>Under Article 5(2) of the DMA, gatekeepers must seek users’ consent for combining their personal data between designated core platform services and other services, and if a user refuses such consent, they should have access to a less personalised but equivalent alternative. Gatekeepers cannot make use of the service or certain functionalities conditional on users’ consent.

- Source: EC statement¹

However the EU doesn't deem there to be any gatekeepers for music.² YouTube has over 80 million music subscribers. To avoid this obvious conflict they label "YouTube" as a video sharing site, deliberately ignoring one of the largest drivers of youtube traffic is music videos. Something which Google themselves advertise.³

If the EU cared about privacy and user harm they'd make the DMA protections apply to every business, not just big foreign ones.

Spotify's ads website actually brags about how it targets and tracks users and the various 3rd party data companies they partner with to extend that beyond Spotify.⁴

It's clear as day that the EU doesn't care about user harm or privacy, they just want that money for themselves. A view that is buttressed by what they're trying to do to encrypted chat communications.

Ok so if we take this repo and then the headline from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41085376, we could get an infinitely fast file system by just putting another SQLite filesystem on top.
> true there are more people in lower middle class than before and less in the middle

Yes, because as I pointed out more people stay in college longer ( poor now but not for long), more people retire early due to good stock markets (simply read BLS/Census data).

Here's a simple way to check the rough argument: Suppose on avg it takes 5 years to post HS education. A working career is about 50 years. So 10% of a college student is spent poor with near certainty.

25% of people went in 1970. That accounts for (1/4)*(1/10) = 2.5% of the population being in poverty, yet they will mostly do quite well over a lifetime.

Now about 50% go to college. That's a 2.5% increase in the poverty rate, yet in reality people over a lifetime are going to be richer.

Do the same thing to retirees, to early retirement due to stock growth, early retirement from COVID where many people also decided to retire early since they could afford it, and your increase in the poor evaporates.

Also, US poverty rate puts one in the top 15% of world incomes, so our poverty rate is a pretty nice income. And poverty is measured pre-govt transfers, which provides a lot more income.

I just gave you the stats, and you can check them. Stop repeating things for which I pointed out solid and provably correct reasons your interpretation is wrong. If you want to refute there are more people in college, or that people aging into retirement or retiring early are not increasing then do so.

Simply do the math, or read Census or BLS data.

> the buying power has been stripped by

Inflation adjusted median wages has risen significantly [1]. So no, buying power has not been stripped. When you pick only a few items but ignore the overall purchasing power of an income you are making reasoning errors. This is also true of you break it down by decile or quintile - BLS/FRED/Census again has all the data you need. You continually cherry pick the extreme edges of things and ignore the actual data for the entire thing.

> much of the ability of families to move to UMC has been on the backs of two working parents

Individual income, as shown above, has greatly increased relative to inflation. The reason people use two incomes is they have more than twice as much stuff as 1970: median house sizes have more than doubled, more cars per family, more TVs, massively more entertainment expenses, more of everything. If a family wanted to live like 1970 then one income now is more than enough (provably so, since again, inflation adjusted wages since 1970 have increased significantly).

>In general, be wary of Newsweek articles

Nothing in that article is different than you can source yourself from the root data sources for all this knowledge: Census, BLS, FRED, and a few other stats gathering agencies. If you dispute the stats in the article, present your stats and sources. Stop pretending cherry picked anecdotes replaces analysis of the entire dataset.

I disagree that their motive is business only, unlike the majority if not all cloud services, exporting your photos from the service is real-time, and officially supported, you're not tied or locked in to the company as with GPhotos/iCloud where takeouts strip/alter metadata, full export and slow taking weeks which is painful. Only FAANG seem to offer takeout services, but they're bandwidth and storage waste. The main reason people avoid backups is because they're tedious.

iCloud on a Mac with optimize photos off is the closest without encryption, but trash is 3-way sync with day limit and hence not a backup...

Jottacloud/Koofr/OneDrive have full featured desktop sync and infinite time trash locally but the mobile gallery is unpolished, no on-device AI search, and no encryption.

While other clouds allow 3rd-party clients, some hide and prevent the phone gallery from being synced offline when using the API. Using Rclone or others is complicated.

Synology NAS (with C2) and Ente seem to be the only ones to keep your photos portable and intact while having a true local backup, Ente being much easier to setup.

> Its not so easy. First, yeah I was operating networks, not maybe hyperscalers, but 200+ switches. Yes, ARP had a its problems, like ARP poisoning, but they are all sorted out already.

ARP poisoning is the least of ARP's problems.

It can potentially have a blast radius that can bring down networks, and if it was actually sorted out, then things like BGP EVPN would not need to have been invented. One of touted benefits of BGP EVPN is reduced ARP and Layer 2 broadcasts.

I've seen ARP storms bring down even 'small' company networks (dozen switches for ~200 people) because someone fed a simply desktop switch back in on itself and the access layer switch in the closest could not do STP with the simple switch.
There where even mail-to-ftp gateways. I vaguely remember using bitftp (?) to get a copy of the Utah Raster Toolkit that way. Long time ago...
Most of the low level stuff wouldn’t work or would be useless anyway, as most container network interface implementation will make you work with veth pairs and will do many userspace monstrosities.

This is one of the things I don’t like much about kubernetes: the networking model assume you only have one nic (like 99.99999% of cloud instances from cloud providers) and that your application is dumb enough not to need knowledge of anything beneath.

The whole networking model could really get a 2020-era overhaul for simplification and improvement.
Where do you get that from? In my practice this was never true and still is not.
So a small corner store or 7-11 type operation is "commercial use" and somehow bad?

What kind of thing are you imagining in your head when you say "commercial use"? A massive 10 acre parking lot with a 2 acre steel and glass megastore?

The thing I'm thinking about is most likely smaller than an average house in American suburbia and with a smaller plot. It's not a place where a family of 7 will drive with their gigantic truck and buy groceries for two weeks. It's something you (or your kids) can walk/bike to if you need to grab a few bottles of soda and snacks for a movie night. Or you stop by on the way home from work to get tonights dinner. You also can't buy 48 brands of cereal, maybe 2 or 3 of the most popular ones.

I think you've never experienced a small corner/neighbourhood store and your view of "commercial" is skewed to American Size things where everything is next to a 6 lane stroad with parking lots larger than many European cities.
I'd double check whether a denial of service is out of scope, it often is.

Additionally, I'm not intimately familiar with Redshift, but being able to create a table suggests the attacker would already need a fairly high privilege level to begin with, no? If there are other ways to invoke denial of service conditions from that existing privilege level, this finding may be somewhat moot out of redundancy, similar to how a submission for "a root user with the ability to execute arbitrary commands can cause a denial of service condition in XYZ" would be moot - XYZ is not needed for an adversary with those perms to cause a DoS.
I wish something like that came to Discord. Their search is terrible and I could never find something if I didn't know the exact words, and the servers aren't indexed by external search engines either.
The article revolves around the responses of Noah Smith but it is my opinion that Noah is not really a genuine actor. Noah to me just represents the system (as opposed to non-system [0]). His role is not to make radical conclusions but simply to provide a counter reactionary voice for the neo liberal order.

SQLite doesn't look like a good fit for large logs - nothing can beat liner write at least on HDD and with plain text logs you will have it (though linear write of compressed data even better but rare software supports it out of the box). With SQLite I would expect more write requests for the same stream of logs (may be not much more). Reading analysis will be faster than using grep over plain text log only if you'll create indices which add write cost (and space overhead).

ClikcHouse works really well when you need to store and analyze large logs but compare to SQLite it would require to maintain a server(s). There is DuckDB which is embedded like SQLite and it could be a better than SQLite fit for logs but I have no experience with DuckDB.
Yeah, I hear you on the color restoration. I just ran the scans through Apple's Photos app and was able to restore the photo colors to something very close to what they may have been originally.

If you are careful about using the retouch tool to remove scratches and dust (that may have been present the negatives even) and if you are careful with adjusting levels, I am pretty sure I can say I have created modern versions of the images that are even better than the originals were.

And BTW, if you want to really up your game on some of the better photos, have a 8 x 10 printed by a lab using aye-sub printer to print to metal (aluminum). Assuming you have a high quality image, you will be blown away at how much dynamic range you can get from a metal print. Stunning. (Shhh ... I'll be making Christmas gifts this year from some of the family heirloom images.)

> lacks any specific testable predictions for our universe.

Predicts that special relativity holds up at all scales (check, according to all evidence so far), predicts general relativity at low energy scales (check).

So it's false that it has no testable predictions. None of this happened "in recent times" though, it's been understood for a long time.
Apple's Image Capture seems to have a feature like that — where it autodetects the images — but I never use it.
Comparing Jimi Hendrix to Objective-C is like comparing Ken Thompson to a guitar. Musician, instrument. Painter, brushes.

Besides, as far as I know, Objective-C only ever gained traction within the very narrow realm of MacOS and iOS application development, and has since been mostly supplanted by Swift in both of those use cases. That's hardly comparable to the enduring, cross-cultural influence of Hendrix.

If we're making weird anthropomorphic analogies, I'd argue Objective-C is more like Sleep, People Under the Stairs, or maybe The Replacements. Enormously important within the scope of their own subculture.

It is a problem when, for instance, Google chooses not to implement SRV (and later HTTPS) DNS record support in their web browser. The problems which SRV (and now HTTPS) DNS records solves is not a problem for Google, since they solved the problem by sheer scale and brute force, and Google only benefits from everybody else still having the problem; it’s a great moat for them.
Self-follow-up:

Google says India is 74% IPv6:

How would connectivity for 10^9 people work with only IPv4? See also China. Each of those countries is 2^30 people, plus add another 2^30 for the continent of Africa, and you're already over 2^31. IPv4 is 2^32 addresses.

When I start typing a formula in LibreOffice Calc, there is a popup showing possible matching functions, then when I choose the function, the popup shows the required syntax for the function and where I currently am within that syntax. A bash plugin that would do that would be an absolute game changer imho.

The cli excels because it is extremely flexible, with far more options available than a set of buttons could ever display. But discoverability rounds down to 0, and there are footguns. It seems like spreadsheet software has found an almost drop in ui that would greatly enhance the cli.

It's not what they "only" care about, when it comes to investment; it's what they can make money on. Or, rather, what their investment advisers or fund managers think money can be made on, and all the more so if younger investors are shut out.

In software, anyone younger than their mid-30s is late (too young to invest in Apple when it was at lows, Facebook IPO, etc.). AI is just the latest rolling of the software hype trade, with cloud and mobile and crypto and SaaS and more before it. And investors don't have to understand marijuana to know that being at the ground floor of an industry that's high-demand, low-supply-by-regulatory-capture would be incresibly lucrative; they piled into ownership (not stock, which was a pump-and-dump for suckers) while indie growers were shut out.

But the crux of the issue isn't simply that they like these investments. It's that they'll cannibalize everything else to prop up their chosen champions. Ironically, the mass tech layoffs of the past couple years are an example, with hundreds of thousands of workers sacrificed to keep companies not just solvent, but "growing" on paper. The post-COVID "boom" that funded their positions was misallocated capital that could have gone towards jobs that were actually sustainable; those people would still be gainfully employed, rather than unemployed or underemployed as they are now.

No, we definitely don't want "automatic IPSec" (especially IPSec!), or really any enforced encryption at the network level, even if it's something sane at this moment like WireGuard. Look at old VPN protocols or authentication schemes like RADIUS which have glaring security holes and are impossible to fix because of compatibility issues, and they're running at much smaller scales than the whole internet. Hell, the way the industry is solving TCP ossification problems is by throwing TCP away and reimplementing it on top of UDP, that should tell us something.

It seems people forget the most obvious thing: A government powerful enough to give everybody a salary is powerful enough to REMOVE everybody's salary. It is also a monopoly of power.

That already happened: In communist Russia if you were not a good communist (you believed communism was a crap system) it meant no salary for you, a shitty status or being sent to prison or forced labor. If your children, or any family member or your friends were not good communists, you were punished as well.

UBI means taxes need to be confiscatory for those that work. Studies are done giving people free money but not about removing the fruit of their labor.

And of course the people who controls people's salaries are going to redirect most of it to themselves, like communists or socialists always do in socialists places. Lenin redirected billions of dollars to private accounts in Switzerland, Stalin forced its repatriation and later hundreds of billions disappeared. It has been the playbook of any communist leader, from Castro to Chavez or any socialist leader, Lula, Kirchner.

2. Do you reuse the same components and customise them for new projects, but do you make new ones?

I’m curious as there are many problems with frontend reusability that many devs face on an on-going basis, with existing tools not properly solving them.

We want to guarantee for every human on the planet the right to food, water, shelter, health care, and education. Giving everyone enough money to buy all those things themselves is one way to do it. Raising funds (taxes) and then providing those services for free is another way. It doesn’t really matter which way. What matters is that we agree on that goal and find some way to achieve it.

Right now we have a system where people must do a job, even a meaningless one, to get those things. People who are unable to do work or find work, through no fault of their own, are doomed to suffer in poverty. It’s cruel and inhumane, especially when there isn’t enough work to go around.

With our advanced technology we can sustain everyone’s lives with only a portion of the population actually doing labor. What portion, I don’t know. But we don’t expect children or the elderly to work. They are often unable, and we don’t need them to. Well, if there is a surplus in the labor supply, and there are capable adults who could work, but we don’t need them to, why put them through the indignity? Don’t force them to do a meaningless job and waste their lives. Don’t doom them to suffer and die. As long as the resources are available, let them live a decent life.
