It should be said that loophole was supposedly closed in 2015, after prolonged pressure on Ireland and the Netherlands.
At the end of the day, lawyers are human too, with lives and families.

They would know the full extent of the inconveniences regarding home raids and device seizures for long periods of time. This would disrupt their lives, work, and probably affect their ability to serve their clients’ legal troubles.

At the very least, I’m thankful for the efforts of the EFF and others that do know the law and help. But I’d imagine there’s a good case for separations of concerns here. Stay out of the legal troubles yourself so you can help others that do get caught up in it. One degree away.
This is a wholly new concept of "antitrust" law which relies on market competition rather than consumer harm.

There is no overlap with prior antitrust except for the name and "big = bad". Even your point 3 exposes the real problem. People don't like google (neither do I, actually), impute ill intent to them, and want them punished.

I am just calling a spade a spade.
I've run into this exact YAML problem when trying to use the git hash as a label in a templated kubernetes config file. Same solution — wrap it in quotes — and exact same frustration.

Here's to you, and to whoever else runs into this problem next.

My point is not that you missed on some sweet cash. My point is that it's an example of extreme privilege and wealth opportunities that most people cannot afford. The post comes off as anti-materialism and worldly and not caring about the money. But it's really the opposite. Your particular circumstances around wealth are what enable you to do this.

I find it irritating. And phrases like this one:

I'm not talking about environments that could run Home Edition - one of the things MS disabled in Home was ability to join AD domains, something that was available on 9x.

From what I recall, an important point for releasing ME at all was that compatibility (both in applications and drivers) was not yet ready at the time of NT 5.0 going gold, leading to a stopgap solution being deployed.
This is caused by poor or nonexistent code review practices. Reviewers should be ensuring that related comments are updated if code functionality is changed.
> In the most recent Program for International Student Assessment tests in math, or PISA, U.S. students scored lower than their counterparts in 36 other education systems worldwide. Students in China scored the highest.

Nope, hence the word probably. 100% anecdotal.

Last recession was 2008 and job prospects for a software dev are much worse now compared to then. Go back further and it was dotcom bust a little more than 20 years ago.
I also make checksums for every file and verify twice a year. Over millions of files totalling 450TB I end up getting about 1 failed checksum every 2 years. If you are having more frequent checksum failures I would check for RAM errors first.

zfs and btrfs would do this automatically and have built in data scrub commands.
Is there some sort of betting line I can make money off with all this? “-150 a new model isn’t released in the next month claiming it is currently the best at something” would let me retire years early.

If there is another line that said “+500 thus model will be forgotten and useless in 6 months” could take my retirement from years to months.
Arcee AI unveils SuperNova: A customizable, instruction-adherent model
This is the opposite of how I see it. There's really nothing universal about flags, especially short ones, in different random utilities (what's -n mean? -f? file, filter or force?). Whereas in Powershell since there actually is some standardization, your knowledge about what -WhatIf or -Verbose do is actually pretty leverageable. And more powerful with the ability set default parameters and so forth. And the discoverability and help in Powershell is also standardized.

So I get why unfamiliarity would make it not worth it to switch from whatever shell you prefer, but I don't think I can see your point about flags.
If by "multi-modal", you mean "it takes several different datatypes as input or output", then yes, it's multi-modal. See Figure 1 in the Tech Report.

It's certainly inconvenient, but this is my untested understanding of how drive recovery services can work.
Personally it is a pet peeve of mine that people have these things in their ears. I work in a building with malfunctioning elevators and student at my Uni are like they are 90 years old and deaf, when you try to warn them about a danger in the environment and they say “WHAT?” and take them out.
This seems a bit like a strawman argument. I don't think anybody say that we should never use comments.

The problem with comments is that they can become stale, and it's often possible to self-document or write simpler code that causes less surprise. But of course, it's totally fine to put comments.

And I think comments should be mandatory for interfaces functions/types unless their behavior is obvious. I don't want to read the code to understand what a function does, or what invariant a class maintains. And if it's too complex to document in a few lines, probably this isn't the right interface. But apparently, this isn't obvious for everybody. In my company, most of the code isn't documented.
In light of last week's fiasco with Reflection (https://venturebeat.com/ai/new-open-source-ai-leader-reflect...), I hope the community has a newfound enthusiasm for independent testing!

This is extremely exciting news if true, so I'm eager to have it either confirmed or questioned. The one thing I hope we won't be doing is accepting SOTA evals from open-sourced models at face value.
Unfortunately this is not always true. For example, one of the architects of the Tokyo subway sarin attacks[1], Masami Tsuchiya[2], had a masters in physical and organic chemistry.

TypeScript's unions are still impressive as you can union anything, not just literal types (TIL python has unions for literals, thanks).

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by dynamically? Isn't that just a case statement, or am I misunderstanding?
A method which takes foo and turns it into another type is slightly better. You can then unconditionally panic in the drop impl.
Attention Set <3 - that alone is worth another post. Gerrit really is one of the best kept dev secrets, and if you never had the luck of seeing it in person at a company where you worked at, well...

You’re not wrong, but I do feel like the distributed nature of a lot of systems today is a big reason for that.

And Antithesis is (theoretically) one solution to that, which is very neat!

(I know modern games are also often operating in a distributed environment, but to generalize very broadly, there’s a lot more happening “in one place”)
They can go dormant in extreme conditions they can’t thrive in such conditions. It’s a bit of a myth with these. They need similar conditions to multiply as all other life. If you put them temporarily in an extreme condition they can go dormant and come back when conditions are better.

FWIW we trade so much material with outer space (super volcanos etc) that if life could colonize space that easily it would have done so billions of years ago.

What sort of radio do you use?

My friend and I tried to do -- the two of us in different cars driving down the same stretch of highway this with GPRS radios and very quickly we were not able to pick up the other's broadcast. We assumed it was that we didn't have big enough antennas and were not using a repeater.

Note - others were driving we were each a passenger in our respective cars.
VAT is paid by the consumer, not the business. The business merely collects it in behalf of the tax office. Starbucks contributes 0 taxes by collecting VAT. Look up the definition of consumption taxes as opposed to corporate income taxes.

If you want to give other examples of ways companies contribute you can mention property taxes on owned properties, or jobs created which usually also have some part of pension etc contributed by the business, vehicles paying excise tax and fuel taxes, but I don't think VAT is a correct one to use.
The difference is that with Tor you are physically downloading CSAM and forwarding it on to the offender. With encryption you're just providing tools for them to hide material.
>I would love to see if that would make an impact on the odds.

It won't make an impact on the odds of your tickets coming up as winners, unless they have a bug in their simulation. In the real world the probability of single versus multiple jackpot winners might vary with number choices, but they've already said they're assuming a single jackpot winner.
>I've suggested that we use hyphens. Hyphens feel natural in English, and could remove the ambiguity that exists whenever we use open compound words

We do use hyphens in English. Well, some of the time, and some of us. I could be wrong, but I do feel that, given my age and also my readings of older texts, that the use of hyphens in this way has become less common, and that this was much more common decades ago to avoid ambiguity.

Does it at least integrate with DBus a bit?
The title is a bit clickbaity, since the actual "oven" part (the magnetron) stayed off. As it should, since the safeties for it are much more robust than the other parts:

I’m quite impressed by how many independent mechanisms there are to prevent the magnetron from accidentally turning on. Not only are there three door switches to ensure the door is closed, there’s also a mechanism to guard against a faulty microcontroller or software.

Personally, I think the ones with mechnical controls, no microcontroller, are the most reliable and also easiest to repair.

I live in Oakland. We're in the midst of a big crime wave. Oakland PD, the DA, and the Mayor, are all in varying degrees of denial. It's so bad that the Governor of California (eyeing his future Presidential bid) has stepped in, authorizing the California Highway Patrol to chase suspects into Oakland to arrest them. Apparently they're even setting up a parallel court system for prosecutions, since the current DA can't be trusted.

It's so strange to see OPD in the news because of something innovative(?) they're actually DOING!
Nobody has really been able to make a convincing argument whether these sorts of tools haven't lead to large-scale terrorism through bioweapons because the underlying problem is hard (for a sufficiently motivated adversary), or that terrorists don't have the resources/knowledges/skill, and as far as we can tell, the sufficiently motivated adversaries who have tried either failed, succeeded secretly, or were convinced to walk back from the brink due to the potential consequences.

In short there are other ways to negatively affect large numbers of people that are easier, and presumably those avenues are being explored first. But we don't know what we don't know.
Color Science for Filmmakers
This is entirely wrong. Instead, you should do routine performance testing on low-end machines, and do your work on reasonably high-end machines.
I have this experience with so much equipment in the kitchen. The retail variant has features and knobs etc but is otherwise somehow flimsy, but the commercial variant is rock solid and only does one job.

An example is the atrocious slow cooker that I somehow ended up with that has so many settings on its terrible display I can never remember how to run it. Oh and it maxes out at 6 hours, when my work day is typically 8+ hrs. The old one had two settings with a physical switch - high (for saute) and low (for slow cooking). Perfection.
By what metric are you evaluating corruption here, other than selected news anecdotes that support your ideological intuition.

We watched videos of the horrors of the American healthcare system for the same reason as we watched videos and were otherwise taught about oppressive regimes, international poverty, bigotry and racism both local and international - to learn about global issues, to gain a wider perspective on the world, to be knowledgeable about the many ways in which a society can fail it's most vulnerable. Such as, for instance, letting your poor die and suffer from preventable, curable illnesses.

Oh, and I have no such ideological commitment to the monarchy, I and most people I know would choose to abolish it in a heartbeat. It is here, as it is everywhere, the conservative right clinging onto traditions, ideologies and policies that have long since proven unproductive, disfunctional or outright harmful.

The monarchy may well underpin much of how British law and government works, and that is something we should work to change - just as you in the US should work to change those parts of your founding constitution written almost 300 years ago that no are no longer to the benefit of yourselves and your country.
Having used Tomato, DD-WRT and currently OpenWRT/LuCI I rank Tomato with having the best UI. DD-WRT a distant second and OpenWRT/LuCI much further down the list.
Excellent help. To clarify a few items:
- yes I mean drives with autoloader. for example: https://www.backupworks.com/qualstar-Q24-LTO-9-SAS-Library.a...
it’s basically a hard requirement as we don’t have staff time to enter data centers frequently. we are a bit unusual in being certainly not big, but not really a small business either when looking at budgets available. unless there is something wrong with qualstar product linked above perhaps autoloaders are cheaper than you believed?

- understood your rebooting trick. however being full automated (apart from blank tape rotations) is a requirement also. it’s a production infrastructure. if FreeBSD provides significant value it seems safer to spec a dedicated 1U server to use for backups. there is a management node currently that might work though that has to run Linux as it currently does and I need to check if the SAS on it can be used. It has an bunch of SAS ssd drives currently and I would have assumed there is a way to cable up the qualstar drive … but again I’m still early in researching. and the SAS compatibility issue you raise is perfect example of stuff I need to figure out.

- love par2cmdline and our burner with mdisc for IP backup uses that on git repo files and then seqbox as an outer container for data to guard against potential fs metadata corruption issues. there was a newer low level tool (rust rewrite I think) with many bitrot protection features that I can’t recall it’s name currently and isn’t immediately coming up in my notes, but I know it exists and have been meaning to look into it. it has a newer erasure encoding like raptorq and also block metadata like seqbox, I think can replace the par2 seqbox combo we are currently using on MDISC physical backup for IP. I don’t trust a 100% cloud as one can imagine somehow getting all accounts hacked and deleted.

- yes on compressed. the 2PB is already highly highly compressed. so it means 18TB/tape.

Do you have any vendor/distributors you can recommend? I always recommend 45drives to people and I was planning to ask them about LTO when we order next storinator which is coming up soon also.

There is this interesting blog post from a couple of years ago that probably was the seed of my plan to embark on LTO. Our monthly backblaze invoice is totally out of control. But we need a full backup of our data as it’s simply not replaceable and at the heart of the business.

False. They are not better. Lion senses are authentically superhuman.

Of course it is. The concept of zero is nontrivial.

Neither you nor Arnold Kling have thought any of this through very clearly. You would both become lion scat with high efficiency.
Interesting! I was under the impression that the FCC was actually somewhat strict about part 90.35 eligibility, in that you have to provide fairly detailed specifics of your business use case or how you fall under the various educational/nonprofit exemptions, and that if you told them you wanted it for personal use or supplied a thinly veiled excuse they'd tell you to get lost. Maybe that understanding is outdated. I can imagine a HAM club having an easier time justifying that than you would as a random individual.
> What does that mean? Don't they take the amount of time they need in order to ensure safety, so that's the perfect amount of time?

As the article makes clear, they do not. And this is not the first time this has happened.
Really Cool! Congrats on the launch of Gauss-Engine v1. How well does Gauss handle more complex or unconventional human movements, like parkour or breakdancing?

Anarchist Drugs Again
I don't know how people like Matt Schumer can attempt what looks like fraud and deception being chalked off as a giant oopsies (which isn't really convincing) and not face any consequences.

For rest of us, this is a privilege that we don't have. We can't deceive, defraud our investors because it has real consequences....but not for people like Matt Schumer, why is that?
Actually, you're the one acting disturbed. The GP just gave a simple counterexample.
I feel kind of the opposite. Like the way "compliance" works in corporations is everyone has to sit through a boring training video so they can check the box that says "trained staff on regulatory compliance" when the real cost is not just watching the video but actually diligently putting it into practice. Which is pretty cheap for the companies who skip doing that part, admittedly, but if that's expected to be the method of "compliance" then what's the point of the law?
Yes, there's nothing wrong with that.

The issue arises from Apple allegedly getting a preferential treatment in Irish taxes on top of that, thus paying extremely low taxes overall for their entire European business.
Google strikes $100/ton deal with Holocene to capture CO2 from the air
This a riskless transaction for Google. It’s a projection from the current $350 levels and the industry has been chatting a while as to how to ultimately get to the magic $100 level.

At least Ms. Timofte fully admits that this contract is a gamble: “self fulfilling prophecy”. If not, Holocene will be bk with catastrophic losses and Google can punt not being compliant.
All sorts of practical questions.

Can you bring in a lunch (is that a Coke bottle or a secret camera?)? Are there trash bins? If there is water, does that mean there are bathrooms (who does the restocking?)? Is there coffee?! Who/how do you get data into the network? Who/how do you get data out of the network? Can you bring in printed reference materials from a slightly less secure facility?

Bottom line: probably a huge pain in the butt if you have to work like that.
Commits aren't always perfect.

I live in the Dominican Republic. People here go to the doctor for things I never would have in the USA. If anything, people here self treat much less
Than the USA, even though you can walk into any pharmacy or imaging center and ask for whatever you want.

They go to the doctor because the healthcare system here works, for the most part, and they value and respect the expert counsel in matters of their health.
Yeah, absolutely check who wrote a comment before relying on it

It's luckily rare for people to add wrong comments, though (and those who do should be publicly fustigated).

By the way, please never state something as it were the truth if you're not sure that it is. Saying "I think" is perfectly fine, and might save people days of investigation.
Probably using Go and defaulting to zero unix timestamp.
After many hints and innuendos of how making people register as foreign agents might damage free speech, the last paragraph contains a call for more transparency in the conduct of foreign policy, apparently with no self-awareness at all.
We're currently using Hierarchical Quantization approaches to autoregressively generate complex human motions. However, for something as intricate as breakdancing, you might notice some divergence. The current model size has limitations in handling highly detailed and fast-paced movements like that.
This article really comes at some of the crux of packaging pains for many languages. The "distro ships the software" idea is something so many modern language toolkits are pretty far away from (and, as someone constantly burned by Debian packaging choices, something I'm pretty happy with as well). But without a good answer, there's going to be frustration.

When distros are charging themselves with things like security, shared libraries do become a bit load bearing. And for users, the idea that you update some lib once instead of "number of software vendor" times is tempting! But as a software developer, I really really enjoy how I can ship a thing with exactly a certain set of versions, so it's almost an anti-feature to have a distro swap out functionality out from under me.

Of course there can be balances and degrees to this. But a part of me feels like the general trend of software packaging is leaning towards "you bundle one thing at a time", away from "you have a system running N things", and in that model I don't know where distro packagers are (at least for server software).
x = 86400

If I were forced not to write comments, I'd write that as

x = 24 * 60 * 60

and let the compiler optimize that.
