I've been using a BOOX Tab Ultra C Pro (with the Kaleido 3 color e-ink) for a year. The colors are quite dim, to the point where I sometimes forget it's a color e-ink display. The Colorsoft display looks significantly better in comparison (even seems to have better contrast than ClearInk?), so I'm curious how it works.

I confirmed that if you explicitly set the Content-Type response header to application/rss+xml it seems to work with Cloudflare Proxy enabled.

The issue here is that Cloudflare's content type check is naive. And the fact that CF is checking the content-type header directly needs to be made more explicit OR they need to do a file type check.
> I'd say keeping up with the reddit LocalLLama community is the "easiest" way and it's by no means easy.

The subreddit is… not great. It’s a decent way of keeping up, but don’t read the posts too much (and even then, there is a heavy social aspect, and the models that are discussed there are a very specific subset of what’s available). There is a lot of groupthink, the discussions are never rigorous. Most of the posts are along the lines of “I tested a benchmark and it is 0.5 points ahead of Llama-whatever on that one benchmark I made up, therefore it’s the dog’s and everything else is shite”. The Zuckerberg worshiping is also disconcerting. Returns diminish quickly as you spend more time on that subreddit.
>Unfortunately not everyone has resources to start with ads

You can start with a small budget and build from there. For the first year I only spent £100 per month on Adwords.

The bigger problem is Google et al make it very easy to waste money on their ads. You have to pay a lot of attention to the detail and constantly fight against their defaults which are nearly always in their favour rather than yours.

We can't? I guess this is US specific, because I've been able to use my bank card for all transactions since I have a bank account (at least 20 years). All transactions hit the bank account directly and are rejected if balance is insufficient.

I don't think credit cards have anything to do with scaling.

When genomics are renamed because of your shitty software covering, it's time to ditch that completely for some truly math/bio specialized software under Guix for reproducible research.

Excel shouldn't be used beyond the needs of an accountant.

Before some notes that the original hackers did actually that on some software like Maxima on top of MacLisp, a Lisp environment had a far better structure for doing specialized software than your 'office' suite mostly used to do paperwork.

If you used an XSL file for a million row census as it happened with the Coronavirus, you deserve to be either computer educated or hire some programmers to properly normalize that into either a MariaDB table or SQLite + some UI on top depending on the needs.

Everything else it's a recipe for a disaster.

We already had plenty of bytecode formats outside the browser since UNCOL was an idea in 1958, including as replacement for Assembly, with microcoded CPUs.

Major "Netflix-Type" Piracy Site Announces Shutdown, Linked to AnimeFLV
for me its rather ear plugs _without_ nc. the nc cancels out the droning of the engine and aerodynamics but it leaves conversations, music and crying babies. with simple earplugs the droning (which i don't mind) helps covering up voices. of course anc + random noise is the silver bullet.

> sell these on the black market.

How? I always see this mentioned but it seem impractical to me. I've discovered bugs which have paid out a few thousand dollars - big corporates have well publicised schemes, but I've no idea how I would go about selling it to a criminal.

Even if I did know where to find them - how would I trust them? Can I tell they're not really the police doing a sting?

If they paid me, how would I explain my new wealth to the tax authorities?

Once the criminal knows they've paid me, what's to stop them blackmailing me? Or otherwise threatening me?

Oh, and I won't be able to publish a kudos-raising blog post about it.

How much would a criminal have to pay me to take on that level of risk?

Should Google pay out more for this? Probably. Is the average security researcher really going to take the risk of dealing with criminals in the hope that they pay a bit more? Unlikely.

According to Ars Technica its a lack of annual revenue:

You have this exactly backwards.

Houses in the countryside should be cheaper because they are easier to build and the land has less value.

What’s potentially more expensive out in the country is the infrastructure. The house price is lower to reflect that, the overall cost of ownership/living may be the same or higher as a result.

You are entirely right. But trademark has nothing to do with the “not contributing to the community” thing, whatever that means. Going after Wordpress-Engine with a trademark angle makes sense. Although:

1- I don’t think that would hold any water against “WPE”

2- trademark needs to be defended (in the US at least) and you cannot let things slide for 5 years and then claim infringement.

In any case, that’s not what happened. The trademark aspect was clearly an afterthought and is not the central point of the dispute.

The majority of health effects from Chernobyl were from the evacuation, not the accident. Check the WHO reports.

In Fukushima it was all of them.

The 1975 Banqiao dam failure caused (best estimate) around 200000 deaths, evacuation of tens of millions and a several million houses destroyed. Was that a reason for the entire world to get out of hydro-power, because the "disproportionate downsides" are just too great?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure

Or did we check that our dams are built to better standards? And possibly update those standards? The RBMK-1000 was a reactor that even at the time would never have been permitted to be built in the west. Not even close. It was inherently unstable, with the positive void coefficient, and had no containment.

And the kinds of shenanigans that were ordered at Chernobyl also are not permitted.

TMI was a meltdown. There was no effect outside the plant. And nuclear safety was improved significantly after TMI.

Fukushima will have no health effects in the Japanese population. All the adverse health effects and the vast majority of the financial damages are due to the unnecessary evacuation and the shutdown.

"Relocation was unjustified for 75% of the 335,000 people relocated after Chernobyl."

"Relocation was unjustified for the 160,000 people relocated after Fukushima."

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S095758201...

“By now, more Japanese have died from the closing of Japan's nuclear power plants following the 2011 Tohoku quake than from the tsunami and the earthquake combined, which was about 20,000 people.”

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2019/10/31/shutting-...

In terms of money, just 5 years of the reactor shutdown cost the Japanese more than $200 billion. That is the vast majority of the financial damage. Take that to 10 years and you are at $400 billion and that's assuming constant prices.

The "Atomausstieg" has cost Germany more than €500 billion. So what is disproportionate?

I don't really buy that, there is no obligation for anyone to contribute to the project at all under the GPL license so he can feel whatever he want's about it but it's irrelevant.

Also as for the trademark issue, in an older version of their trademark stated "The abbreviation “WP” is not covered by the WordPress trademarks, meaning people may use as they see fit. "

You can't retroactively change it once you see other people making more money than you. That's not how trademarks work.

I doubt the value proposition of buying used EVs will ever reach parity with ICE unless the government forces some new battery warranty/replacement scheme onto EV manufacturers. I was talking to my credit union about this while applying for an auto loan and they said I'd have to be out of my mind to even consider a used EV. A Japanese ICE with 100k miles on it has a high chance of giving the second owner another 100k miles with no major expenses besides oil changes. With used EVs that battery pack is a ticking time bomb waiting to blow a hole in your wallet.
I'd argue that legal immigration is changing the US more than illegal immigration because illegal immigration largely originates from other countries in the Americas and therefore more easily fits in with the USA's existing history and culture.

Looking back at my live, this is so applicable, and it's interesting to finally understand why. The main issue is that it's typically harder to secure a high-paying job, and the fact that one has it now doesn't mean that if the project/job ends, it will be as easy to get the same level of compensation. I've always been able to feel this instinctually, but have never been able to pin it down exactly.
Right now the entities in the EV battery game want to build out, it's unlikely therefore they'd constrict and choke an ever increasing demand.

That said, there absolutely is the potential for large key players to aquire more control and|or to maximise their profits rather than minimise and end price.

Today’s battery and minerals supply chains revolve around China

China produces three-quarters of all lithium-ion batteries and is home to 70% of production capacity for cathodes and 85% for anodes (both are key components of batteries). Over half of lithium, cobalt and graphite processing and refining capacity is located in China.

Europe is responsible for over one-quarter of global EV assembly, but it is home to very little of the supply chain apart from cobalt processing at 20%.

The United States has an even smaller role in the global EV battery supply chain, with only 10% of EV production and 7% of battery production capacity.

Korea and Japan have considerable shares of the supply chain downstream of raw material processing, particularly in the highly technical production of cathode and anode material. Korea is responsible for 15% of global cathode material production capacity, while Japan accounts for 14% of cathode and 11% of anode material production. Korean and Japanese companies are also involved in the production of other battery components such as separators.

Most key minerals are mined in resource-rich countries such as Australia, Chile and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and handled by a few major companies.

I don't think it's any secret that Rust is a very hyped up language, has been for 5 years already.
