You’re not considering a critical set of edge cases.

For example, what if you’re being threatened by a coworker and wish to report it with some kind of evidence?

“Excuse me good sir, might I record your threats so that I can report you?” is probably not going to work.

I've lived in Sweden all my life. This is 100% real. These gangs have guns, knives, sometimes even hand grenades.
There's a lot of theory about this. Look into strategy theory. A few well know concepts as entry points; Feedback loops, path dependency, disruptive innovation, group thinking. Other related concepts needed to analyze the Boeing story completely to understand their strategic position and defensibility could be; Core competence, Blue Ocean, Porter's Five Forces. More macro and fundamentally I'd look into Austrian school if thought and "destructive innovation", and core concepts such as division of labor.

Without knowing the details it makes a lot of sense that Boeing ended where they did (Boeing/SpaceX fits a lot of theories above). What may save the US is not the ability to save companies like Boeing - that would more likely hinder progress on a mid to long term scale - it's the ability to come up with new companies/innovators to overtake the incumbents.

In my interpretation. Fundamentally it goes all the way to the quality of institutions and culture. Time will tell, but I'm feeling more worried about those than the current ability to innovate.
> Kubernetes is really built on the assumption that workers are in the same LAN as the control plane. Long latency between the control plane and workers affects workload reliability; heartbeats need to be configured with longer timeouts, for example.

Yep, and that's why I'm designing this to provision control planes as close to the user's workloads as possible (sub ~100ms latency, which is plenty acceptable for reliability; the likes of Scaleway do similar).

> Pod-to-pod communication, where pods run in regions on opposite sides of the globe, supposedly on the same pod network CIDR, is also going to be flaky

Certainly, but this is not something that I as control plane provider care about -- it's a design decision the user has to account for, and I consider this freedom of choice a nice one to have.

I suppose the main sell here (and the few folks I've spoken to seem to agree) is the flexibility a decoupled control plane offers. Being able to migrate your bare metal setup to "managed" K8s; running a homelab cluster without dealing with the ops (upgrades, cert rotations, etc.); or simply being able to use VMs from cheaper cloud providers.

But yeah, it's definitely a hard problem but solvable within the right constraints.
Weirdly, that aspect kind of turned me off from the VP. I found the forest lake and moon environments very immersive, but these were exactly the sorts of places I’d spend hours daydreaming about and mentally exploring. With the VP, all I can do is enjoy an artist’s limited vision. I don’t want to use a device that will weaken the muscles of my imagination.

No, that is by your own logic, not GPs. GP clearly said: "You can't just provide a service that knowingly provides a platform to criminal activity and do jack shit.". Considering that ISPs do something about that activity, by GPs logic, owners of ISP should not be in jail. Am I worng?

That is an incorrect comparison. A building, all buildings, are dwellings, but they are no more or less the sum of their parts than anything else. It’s not about the construction materials. It’s about the utility.
Firefox has existed on desktop since before chrome existed, and is less relevant than desktop Safari (which is Mac only);

On android "true" Firefox does exist and it's basically 0% usage.

So while it's possible Mozilla would release it, there's no reason to believe it would be anywhere near popular enough to prevent a chrome/blink monopoly.
German has strict grammatical rules but we also have tons of words coming from Latin and close relative French.
But I know what you mean. Being thought pronunciation in school in Oxford English taught by a teacher with heavy German accent wasn’t helpful. I learned most words and pronunciation from TV shows and movies but I can’t really spell a lot of words by heart. Reading is different because I know a lot of words. But the reverse doesn’t work for me. Luckily I write with assistance of my computer. To be fair I struggled with this also in German. Writing correctly was always a pain.

Well, yes - there were enough of those - and they were bad enough, but what threw me off was a screenful of rambling comment replies from a single person accusing Amazon of "being racist" against her (a white woman in the US, if her avatar is accurate) while also making references to some kind of lawsuit she was pursuing - with a surprisingly restrained sprinkling of emojis throughout.
I’m sorry but I really really really want some citations here - a network that has VPNs, LANs at multiple locations is as vulnerable as a single location that uses air-gapped computers passing say usb sticks around to share say git repos.

> "rote" drilling of basic skills

I think it depends on the nature of the task for which the skill is used. But I agree. There are certain things that are just not realistic to master without rote drilling of some sort of supporting material.

At the same time I think rote drilling gets a bad reputation because poor teachers will tend to fall back on it in instances where it isn't particularly useful.

I personally had a low opinion of it until university, where I encountered two independent topics where it was clearly necessary.
I'm not sure I follow where the issue comes up?

AIUI, the answer to your question is "yes" (just as for upstream MIT-licensed Gitea changes being merged in after the fork and license change). The file would be sublicensed and available under GPLv3, with the MIT license maintained. So business as usual?

Prevention is better than cure though. plus you've got to consider cell gassing/venting/explosion risk/toxic fumes as well as fire prevention.

If they were doing per-cell protection, fair enough (cheap 18650's don't have cell protection usually), but I think they are still connecting 4 cells in parallel, with only serial-bank MOSFET's like in usual sealed packs.

People do that.

Recently, the Bulgarian drug lord nicknamed Brendo not only surrendered, but somehow bribed border control to let him in the country so he can show up directly in front of Sofia Central Prison, with a duffel bag, ready to be taken in. He wanted to skip the bureaucracy and go behind bars ASAP.

No no, I want my country to control what other people can see, read or say. Not me: I'm a good person.
lately when i see arguments like yours one thing keeps popping into my head. i’m not sure how i feel about the following yet but it’s been on my mind a bit for the past couple of years:

if someone is incapable of making good faith genuine attempts to mitigate against atrocious things happening openly in the property they control, then isn’t this fairly solid evidence they’re just not capable of owning that property? if they make such an excuse, it would seem to me they’re either too irresponsible or just plain incompetent.

again, i’m not sure how i feel about the implications of this, but the whole “we just don’t have the resources” feels like a cowards excuse rather than reality—particularly as someone already pointed out, they seem to gather their wits to make a sizable dent when it’s spam.

yes, definitely some skin deep similarities! We both transcribe podcasts, but what we do after that is very different ;-) (also, i'm a fan of his podcast).

There is also more generally Mention, Brand24, Meltwater, etc, in the media monitoring space. But all are generally weak in the audio media space.

When we stop looking at audio media like a newspaper article, things get more interesting.
Hey, screw modern education. Particularly if you went to a "gifted school". I was stupid for going to college for a year. At least I dropped out and saved myself a lifetime of debt.

Think of the time you waste with that garbage versus how much you can "grok over a weekend" and the math is definitely in favor of the latter.

The major flaw in the educational system in the US is that it's run for profit and it wrongly informs people they need to stay in it, rather than gaining real world experience. Coding, in particular, but also design and web are trades. Like bartending, plumbing, or fixing cars. They're really only learned on the job, and every school that promises to place you in them is a racket. (I also wasted $500 on two weeks of "bartending school" when I was 21, just to see a roster of horrifically shitty bars that were supposedly hiring. All lessons in who's scamming you should be that cheap. What does higher ed cost these days?)

That’s a fascinating project, thanks for sharing. I’m using epub.js as it already has things like annotations and highlighting and it’s fairly easy to override the book styles.

It’s perhaps a difference in what we consider to be UK law. A difference between laws authored in the UK and laws enforced in the UK.

Parliament might be the de jure authority on UK law, but in practice many other bodies have the de facto power to write laws that apply in the UK.
Doesn’t change anything, you can still have the select at the end, and optional from and joins at the beginning. In your example, the select could be at the end, it’s just that there’s nothing before.
That's an interesting cost-based criticism of Starship. I hope you are wrong and SpaceX can actually do this profitably, otherwise its potential will be much reduced.
I just think for some people math is very fun since the very young age and so they of course practice it. For others it may not be, so it is hard work for them. E.g. I have always enjoyed ever since I can remember doing these exercises. When walking home I used to multiply different numbers as a past time in my head. Most people are not going to do those things, and it didn't feel hard work at all.

In first grade I used to run through workbooks being addicted to solving those problems like some addictive mobile or video game and at that point teacher had to stop me and I was frustrated.

I only had this addiction to math and physics - a bit to chemistry, and I couldn't really focus on other text / memorization based subjects.

And it makes sense to me that genetically in a population you will have brains out of the box that are naturally optimized for different specialities, since having a specialized brain allows you to have more power in that specific area. Problem is when you force those specialised brains into the same way of studying.

Right, I think the industry is too self-critical at times.

I onboarded a new client recently, and within five minutes of guessing a Wi-Fi password I had sensitive financial data using stock tools. Anyone with physical access to the office could do the same. Contrast an existing client, after a month of trying and writing custom shellcode loaders, spear phishing campaigns, my entire team had... some graduate CVs.

Not reliably, especially if you alias tables. Realistically, you need to know what you’re selecting from before knowing what you’re selecting.
It's active memorization vs passive memorisation. What words do you need to teach a kid to memorise for them to read Harry Potter? What if they get into Lord of the Rings instead?

So you teach kids to sound out the words. To decode them. Mug-el = Muggle. But you're not sounding it out for long, you'll memorise it pretty fast. And if you forget it, you'll decode it again.

The point is the memorization will happen automatically to avoid doing the recognition. But if you just jump to memorization you've got no fallback and no way to ever memorise more, you have to actively learn it again. It's like putting cache layer above a database for recently retrieved values. Hell of a lot easier than trying to cache everything or manually predict the best values to cache.

> In fact, what most businesses do is borrow money at, say, 5%, and then invest the money so it earns, say, 20%, and therefore make 15% overall.

Getting more of your capital as debt is a microoptimisation (unless there are special circumstances like different tax treatment, and usually even then) - that's the classic Modigliani-Miller result. Holding more cash makes your nominal return on equity lower, but improves your cash position, and unless you push it to the point where you're taking a real risk of actually going bankrupt the two effects balance and your risk-adjusted return is the same.

> I borrow money and buy investments with the borrowed money.

Exactly. So it really doesn't make a lot of difference how levered a given company is, because an investor can always make a more or less levered investment in the company - if a company has a lot of cash then an investor can lever up a lot, if a company has a lot of debt that same investor levers less or not at all, and ultimately either way the investor gets the same level of risk and the same return.

> It's similar to borrowing money to buy a house, and then selling the house at an appreciated price to make many multiples of your down payment.

Not really - there are all sorts of special treatments for home mortgages (in particular the mortgage interest tax deduction, the most horribly regressive piece of the tax code) that mean you're genuinely disproportionately better off to do one. But it's rare for something like that to apply to corporate borrowing.

Monitors your eyes' blink frequency with a camera and also reminds you to take regular screen breaks.

Somewhat ironically after giving up smoking I take too few breaks and get blurry/dry eyes after long days. The app is a bit overengineered and comes with an api in case you ever wanted to start controlling stuff with blinks. Currently Windows only.

Perhaps, but Telegram is not really a E2EE chat app, but rather a social media. Like 90% of Telegram use (at least in my circles) is channels which are not E2EE on Telegram.

This arrest is not about E2EE.

The arrest is about how much responsibility social media platforms have about the content posted on them.

There is no good answers to that question, and the debate of topic online is utterly useless.
Look at their blog posts about PGP (one of them is pretty much "when I get a PGP-encrypted email it's always from a weirdo" - not any kind of technical argument, just a straight-up smear), or about Matrix.
Yes, probably better to get the LLM to write the script.

Example, I was trying out two podcast apps and wanted to get a diff of the feeds I had subscribed to. I initially asked the LLM to compare the two OPML files but it got the results wrong. I could have spent the next 30 minutes prompt engineering and manually verifying results, but instead I asked it to write a script to compare two LLMs, which turned out fine. It's fairly easy to inspect a script and be confident it's _probably_ accurate compared to the tedious process of checking a complex output.
I agree with you, but to be fair, that's true of virtually every technology I've encountered in my career.

The U.K. does not have a proper written constitution, nor a real bill of rights. It does have the European Convention on Human Rights, but that was passed by an Act of Parliament and can be withdrawn by another Act of Parliament, and in fact the Conservative Party keeps proposing just that.

There are no limits on parliamentary sovereignty, which is what the US Founding Fathers fixed with the US Constitution, but even that was the second attempt, after the failure of the Articles of Confederation, and the Bill of Rights came after the Constitution itself, which is why it is formed of amendments.
