We'd almost certainly have to write a new one, but there are several straightforward ways to do it if we had the political will. An off the cuff example that could certainly be improved:

Definitions:
Government Identification Data includes Social Security Number. Bulk Extraction means any removal of data more than element by element. Unauthorized Third party means any person who the Company does not intend to grant access to. Intentionally Retaining means that a company chooses to ask clients to supply information which is then saved in a way accessible to the company for any reason in the future.

Law:
Any company maintaining Government Identification Data must select someone as personally liable for the security of said data. If the company does not have a person who accepts personally liability, this liability transfers to the Chief Executive Officer of the company. In order for the liability to be considered transferred, the Company most keep on file a notarized copy of an affidavit accepting such liability
Any company intentionally retaining any Government Identification Data must do so in a system that does not allow for Bulk Extraction by any Unauthorized Third Party. Failure to do so is considered Willful Negligence on the part of the company.
Any company guilty of Willful Negligence herein described must forfeit the greater of 15% of their previous yearly revenue or 5 times the Gross Annual Compensation of the most compensated employee. In addition, whomever the company has selected as outlined above shall be incarcerated for no less than 12 months and no more than 60 months.
Ah, I guess the examples are canned for efficiency since it picks the same token each time. Thanks for clarifying.
> The data, which is unencrypted, is believed to have been obtained from a broker called National Public Data.

I'd be happy to join a trillion-dollar class action lawsuit against whomever assembled this data without securing it.
> difficult as possible for the user to circumvent.

But not as difficult as possible for the user to be aware of. If an antivirus installed itself on my computer without my knowledge and hid the fact that it existed from me, we would call that malware.

Apple doesn't have a provision that makes it difficult for the customer to use other purchase methods, it has a provision that makes it difficult to inform the customer that alternate purchase methods exist.

And again, there is no reason for Apple to care so much about that unless they think it's beneficial to Apple for the customer not to know what choice they're making. Apple's policy is not the equivalent of an antivirus program or a security measure, Apple's policy is the equivalent of a car salesman trying to make it impossible for you to comparison shop or look up competing prices.

Because "you'd have a worse experience" if you used a competitor. Sure. That's definitely why Patreon can't inform users in the app that they're paying 30% more per-subscription. /s Also I'd have a worse experience with another Internet provider and that's why Comcast needs to make it difficult to compare price rates with other companies. Come on.
In London lots of platform signs are directional - "northbound" vs "southbound", "eastbound" vs "westbound". Navigating them effectively often requires knowing (at least vaguely) which direction you're moving in. This map completely removes that intuition, in that sense it's strictly less useful than the default TfL one.
Bro I'm not blown away, I just copied the parent comment to be equally hyperbolic about said mundane topic.
Well, there's a balance. I'm not saying "never learn anything new, assembly's good enough and I know how to use it". Learn newer and better tools.

At the same time, don't learn every newer and better tool. There are too many.
You don't have enough time, even if you never do anything but learn.

SQL is enough better to be worth learning. The web framework of the week? Not so much.

And what's "worth learning" depends on what you're trying to do. For a home project, I'll use what I know, unless the goal of the project is "learn how to use X". For work, the question is whether it brings enough to the table to be worth the learning time. Sometimes it is; often it isn't.
I agree with you on the overall point, but this statement.

> Not possible.

In all honesty, Cosmology rests on the principal that physics is the same in all directions, over all translations, and over time translation. While this is a good assumption (good luck testing alternatives!!). There are a variety of papers exploring the topic of how much these assumptions would need to be violated to mirror observations.

A good example being

what if the electron was more massive in the past?

All Redshift would then be explained away ;)

P.S.

There are very good reasons to believe that the electron was not more massive in the past.
I've never really understood why it's supposed to be considered secret but also has to be given out sometimes and also can't be changed unless in witness protection.

Same. It works out every time there's some class action over a spill because I can show that I have the credit monitoring and ask for the $3 or whatever from the lawsuit. A few more years of leaks and I'll have enough to buy a lego set for all the trouble.
It’s for SEO. Perhaps it’s a historical concern and no longer relevant, but the URL is/was used by Google to understand what the page is about.
What is Bill McKibben's academic background to be considered an expert? According to Wikipedia, he has written a few books but has otherwise only been active as an activist. The foundation seems a bit thin to me, but I'm happy to be convinced otherwise.
I charge every night so all day is all I really need, but unless they're advertising at least 2 day battery life it's probably not going to consistently last all day (especially after a couple years of charge/discharge cycles) so that's a bit of a nonstarter for me.

A pretty good article. Would be a great article if they used real world examples instead of made up "formulated" ones.
Communities are going to make language. It's what communities do. Gamers used to say Shazbot. Did we need another exclamation? No, did we adopt a new one and use it for awhile? You bet we did.

AuDHD is a neologism that some communities use. It might stick around, it might go away. We'll know if we needed the new term if it continues to be useful to people.
It's also for crawlers. When doing technical SEO, having a human readable slug in the URL is low hanging fruit that is often overlooked. This, as well as having a <title> structure of `CURRENT_CONTENT_TITLE | WEBSITE_NAME` are things that are quite trivial to implement and provide a significant uplift in both SEO and UX.
And it's sad how often one needs to use the URL to find the date, since many authors just don't put it on the page (corporate sites are particularly scared of dating their stuff)

Others seem to think just day and month is fine, as if the year isn't the most significant part. And if both numbers are <=12 then you have to go and find out what locale the author formats their dates in...
Effective by what metric? Provoked mental illness in occupants? Blood cortisol ppm? I'd literally rather live in my car than the conditions you're describing.
This seems like a lot of writing that has nothing to do with the topic. If someone wants to know the overhead of something and you tell them the overhead divided by an arbitrary number already, that's lying.

My problem with renting is that it doesn't feel like I truly have a home. I bought an apartment and then a house, because house I can do whatever I want with. Otherwise I would never feel like I was at home or free to do something. I would always be reporting to the apartment owner, house owner.

Now I can just do whatever projects around the house I want.

And also the apartment I bought has appraised 60% - 70% on value within last 6 years, which technically comes up to more than 5x my down payment.

Buying the apartment seems like one of the wisest things I have ever done.

So this is an anecdote, but it seems like it was a no-brainer decision to buy the apartment at those specific interest rates at the time.

Now this real estate is kind of forced leveraged investment on me, and the interest rate is still much lower than I would expect to make in returns.
Hmm, if I select the same example multiple times from the drop-down, it does pick a different output value each time. So seems it does implement the sampling "properly" as such.
They’re not “very efficient “. They have a significant amount of overdraw due to their transparency and will be a lot more inefficient if you’re only considering material-less surface representation.

They’re more efficient to capture however . They’re also more constant in their render time, but meshes will easily be faster in most scenes cases, but scale worse with complexity.

The “efficiency” of splats is more about the material response and capturing complexity there, than it is about geometric representation.

Often the obvious stuff was invented decades ago, but some old people in power persistently refuse to implement into major products. Like the ability to copy multiple things without overwriting the previous entry. Who would ever need that?!
Yes, although you're more likely to see something like a k-d tree in offline rendering than in real-time rendering.
Unfortunately these practices are biased to the English language, as slugs are limited to ASCII.
Just remember to build localization into your URLs.

mysite.com/en-us/some-page
mysite.com/en-ca/some-page

You can 301 redirect some locale to your "base" URL if you want.

mysite.com/en-us/some-page > mysite.com/some-page

But don't stress too much. Google doesn't really care about URL content any more. People on phones don't care what your URL says. It's at most desktop users, and devs.

Don't stress localizing your URLs...

mysite.com/fr-ca/some-page is just as good as mysite.com/fr-ca/une-page... and the former is a lot easier to tie into email marketing variables.

Just keep your sitemaps in the localized folder.

mysite.com/sitemap.xml... just a link to the various localized sitemaps.

mysite.com/en-us/sitemap.xml etc.

By keeping sitemaps in a localized folder, it'll make it a lot easier for yourself as you go to register your site with each market's locale.

If you just have to localize URLs... consider doing what Amazon does and just tie the URL to an ID.

https://www.amazon.com/Moen-One-Handle-Bathroom-Deckplate-84...

the above is the same as this... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CFYPTKF8

And you can put anything you want in the URL string, it just matches on the ID.

https://www.amazon.com/literally-whatever-you-want-here/dp/B...

“We use the words in a URL as a very very lightweight factor. And from what I recall this is primarily something that we would take into account when we haven’t had access to the content yet… [but] as soon as we’ve crawled and indexed the content there then we have a lot more information. And then that’s something where essentially if the URL is in German or in Japanese or in English it’s pretty much the same thing.”

- John Mueller, Google Search Advocate.
This kind of racism is ok here?
I think it is pretty well known that "Rich Dad Poor Dad" is a self help /motivational speaker type book, that is to say it is mostly drivel. Is it fraud? As much as any of those books, seminars, products are.
As an Italian I honestly prefer dubbed versions and most Italians feel the same way. We have great dubbers whose voice we associate an actor with, so much that hearing Sylvester Stallone or Eddie Murphy speaking in his native English feels weird, almost a fraud, the breaking of a bond that's not there anymore. Perhaps I would change my view on this if I lived in USA, UK or Australia, but I don't and thus that might be the reason I can't relate with originals. Just my 2 cents.
Issued by who? The states vs federal ID is still a very polarizing conversation. I see no way that all 50 states will ever agree on the exact same system. Look at the RealID situation.
My gut reactions would be to still do whatever performance-related weirdness was absolutely required in a Typescript codebase and either alter the .tsconfig to allow for that project's required style, or to explicitly ts-ignore and type cast the output of the hand-tuned performance code while still maintaining type checking surrounding it so I could still easily produce typedefs for consumers. Even keeping TSC as a type checker while dropping it as a compiler would have been on my list of options before eschewing TSC entirely.

I'm not here to challenge your decisions, but there's a real dearth of information on this topic and knowing when something applies to your situation is hard. Someone writing a web server has different problems and concerns than someone writing React or Vue websites, or someone processing IO on a microcontroller. Can you go into some details about your situational how and why? I'm curious to hear more about the nature of these pure-JS-for-performance libs and what was measured as non-performant in the TSC output?
They think that a unique number for each person would let the government oppress people. Basically they think it makes it easier for the government to track you, even though current usage of social security number gets the exact same effect without any of the advantages of a mandatory national id number.
No, I should apologize. I was just grumpy when I commented and had no good reason to write that.

Well that's not Op's question. They're asking "if I use Minio in my stack without modifications (as a file server that my other services interact with via an API), do I have to AGPL all the stuff the touches Minio or not?" (Minio is basically a FOSS S3) [0]. You're asking about linking, which is covered in the FAQ [1]:

"You have a GPLed program that I'd like to link with my code to build a proprietary program. Does the fact that I link with your program mean I have to GPL my program?"

"Not exactly. It means you must release your program under a license compatible with the GPL (more precisely, compatible with one or more GPL versions accepted by all the rest of the code in the combination that you link). The combination itself is then available under those GPL versions."

ChatGPT gave me a decent chuck of terraform and running Infracost against it gave me a $515 monthly cost.

in the dir with the terraform, does it give you a breakdown?
The "fall guy" problem strikes me as nontrivial. Even if you add to the law that the CEO always has liability for any data leak, a sufficiently well capitalized company run by someone aware of the liability would simply create a shell company that owns all of that data. You could disallow company transmission of said data at all but that is going to cause problems when trying to actually verify said information . . .
But they truly are not wrong.

Spending less and investing isn't going to make you rich. It can certainly help, but it's definitely not going to get you rich unless you have a large amount to begin with in saving and investing.

Secondly, any of the "holier-than-thou" wealthy people that primarily just have good jobs seem to overlook the fact that they are enabled by an entire cadre of people stepping on others and committing those grey area border-line frauds. Much like how we overlook the sordid conditions in foreign countries to enjoy cheap (or expensive) products. It's extremely unlikely that there exists a major corporation that isn't exploiting loopholes, maintaining a legal team to skirt regulations, and engaging in practices that are legal but ultimately not beneficial to their customers.

It's not wrong to make a profit, but there's a level that's fair and reasonable and in many cases the profit margin is correlated to the morality of the provider. The willingness to harm others for profit is a necessary component to become rich in all but a very few edge cases.

Price is what you pay, value is what you get. If a contractor has a brand new truck, never hire them. Without fail the best work I have had done was by the businesses with the worst presentation. The shoddiest, felt like a scam, was always by the flashiest companies.

Advertising at its core is a way to create a falsely inflated sense of value to justify a higher price. The primary way to get rich is to prioritize profit over providing a fair value.

Even Doctors are provided with their high salaries only by an artificial limitation of supply and a variety of opaque exploitative practices.
Thank you for making such a well thought out comment. Describing ASD/ADHD and NPD/BPD as extremes on different axes, and relating that extremity to facets of their behavior, especially with regard to cults, is brilliant.
They are saying police should be held to the highest standards, as enforcers of the law. The punishment for an enforcer should be higher than a punishment for a lay person.
Thanks for bringing llmprices.dev to my attention. I have also a comparison page for models hosted on OpenRouter (https://minthemiddle.github.io/openrouter-model-comparison/), I do comparison via regex (so "claude-3-haiku(?!:beta)|flash" will show you haiku, but not haiku-beta vs flash.

I wish that OpenRouter would also expose the amount of output tokens via API as this is also an important criteria.
It was also my first DL number. Both colleges and VA DMV changed to calculated serial numbers around the same time (late 90s, IIRC).

But, to me, using SSN as a unique serial number feels correct. As somebody else mentioned, that's what it is - a serial number, not a shared secret. "Which John Smith are you?" is very similar to the VIN on a car answering "which Honda Civic?" SSN never proves that you are actually the John Smith you claim.
The station labels are at about the same angle as the perceptual cut-off of my astigmatism, so neither the usually-horizontal nor usually-vertical pers of the letters are in focus. The spaciousness and directionality of the map are nice, but it’s much harder than the all-horizontal London map.

Meta only wishes they were impactful enough to be broken up. Their products aren’t really that important and it’s really easy to avoid them. If all of Meta’s products disappeared they would be replaced in a day.

It’s a little harder to avoid Google or Amazon or Apple in one’s everyday life. If one of these companies disappeared, it would take some time to fill that hole in the market.

I mostly agree with this, but you could still have advice of like "use only xxx flavor of RSA-KEM for key establishment and yyy flavor of RSA-FDH-SHAKE for sigs" and things would be fine. Those still aren't exactly easy to implement, but they aren't really any harder than ECC. But they do have bigger keys and are slower, especially for keygen.

It is codified into the law of every member state, but might differ on some implementation details. For instance, in the Netherlands forced arbitration can only exists if it fair and not burdensome, and disputes can still be taken to state court. Also these clauses cannot be applied for totally different disputes (like restaurant vs streaming service like in this case).
