That's at the heart of this discussion. There are two legal entities at play here: automatic, a for profit company, and the WordPress Foundation, a non-profit. It's believed that the latter carries independent governance over the open source project. As it turns out: that's likely not the case, and there's a potential conflict of interests.

That doesn't imply it's a bad model. Drupal is governed in a similar fashion, with safeguards in it's governance model to avoid this.

Dries Buytaert also considers the maker/taker issue, but does so from a place of, seemingly, healthy conversation.

I think the big issue is that, ultimately, a lot rides a lot rides on the character and the acumen of the foundational maintainer / creator of a FOSS project. As well as how they succeed in creating a particular perception about themselves. Sadly, the "mad king" moniker in the lwn article is kinda apt in WordPress' case after these last week's.

As for funding, I do believe companies leveraging FOSS have a moral obligation to contribute back, but that it's not the world we live in. Unless there are tangible incentives to do so, it's hardly possible to enforce this. As per Dries: promotion and visibility as a "trusted" party through the project's channels is probably the most concrete form of leverage a FOSS project has.
Quite a few dollars though are involved.
The other comment mentioned Austria system of public housing, not Australia's.

I believe you are misguided using the term communism or socialism, those have very specific meaning for an economic system, the overlapping characteristic being that workers own the means of production. That's it, socialised healthcare, public housing and so on are not communist/socialist.

Perhaps you are conflating social democracy with socialism/communism. The Nordics are not socialist/communist, like at all, Sweden has a freer market than the USA, and more wealth inequality, but do have social policies.

Your misuse of the terms is very confusing, I really suggest you brushing on what they mean so your communication is clearer. I got very confused at first on what you meant because there's no way any Western country is even close to Communism/Socialism/Marxism, like 100% not.

> I get the joke, but color has been present in books (...)

That's like saying confortable cars have been present since their inception, and then present as a example a royal coach.

True, you technically had colors in books. Just like you had books with hardbacks with gold inlays. The fact is that the bulk of the books being published were not color books because that costs a premium to make and moreso to buy. Hence the default stabilized in softcover books with B/W print on flimsy paper.

With e-readers you do not get higher production costs, and you can just download your books and benefit from that. Some ebooks even ship with high resolution images where you can zoom in all you want or need.
If it implies humans are unusual, this is poor framing: AIUI all the domesticated species (h sap included) have 1:1 ratios. For dairy farmers in particular, this means almost all male calves are byproducts, to be monetised somehow.

Lots of contracts with a sufficient link to the US allow access to US courts, even with a foreign plaintiff. This is especially true for state courts, but sometimes federal courts are available too.

Suing a defendant based in the US for a breach of contract resulting from acts committed in the US, for a contract that doesn’t force arbitration or specify a foreign venue for litigation, would very likely allow a US lawsuit.

Naturally I haven’t looked at the specifics of the situation beyond what the linked article states, so this wouldn’t be legal advice even if I were a lawyer, which I’m not. I presume all the vendors whom the article says are contemplating a class action lawsuit are already getting proper legal advice from their lawyers.
The Kindle's light is much more diffuse than the iPad's though, much closer to just having a reading light on, which you'd need anyway for a physical book.

Sort of. Doesn't make sense to ban a single v6, you'd start by banning at the /64 level and move on to banning shorter prefixes from there.

You quickly run into the same kinds of problems you do in v4 though; most users have access to a shared pool of addresses, and you may need to ban the whole pool to ban an abuser, but then you also ban everyone else in that pool, and the abuser is more likely to have ability and motivation to use other pools.

It's better if you have multiple factors... if you don't like the IP, don't ban it, but be stricter on other measures, etc. So a well behaved client from a 'bad ip' can still play, but enough suspicious things and you can't play anymore.

Small number of players works in favor of a whitelist. People shouldn't be playing with randoms, they should be playing with friends.

Game companies invade our privacy and destroy our computer freedom with ineffective malware tier rootkit solutions only to fail to solve the problem in the end. Their business model depends on enabling people to play with any random from anywhere in the world. They are forced to trust untrustworthy clients. The truth is people should not allow their computers to talk to strangers.

Subsidies have nothing to do with collective ownership of the means of production by workers, those are orthogonal. The state owning a few enterprises also isn't a markedly characteristic of communism.

> A default setting you don't like and have to adjust? How horrible.

No, even after adjusting the settings, they only apply after you log in. So every time you hit the login screen, you get the default settings again until you log in.

Yes, of course. And it's well known that the penalty for user error is supposed to be complete failure to boot, especially for people new to a system.

> Now I get it, this is satire for someone complaining about the Linux experience. Good one!

Maybe throw in some constructive ideas rather than empty grandstanding? Is it supposed to be a good thing to not have a list of running apps? Is it normal to have to install extensions to your desktop environment to make it work for common worlflows?

I am not complaining about defaults here, there is just no option in Gnome to get a basic bit of UI working like all other desktop environments have worked for 30 years, including Mac, Windows, KDE, XFCE, and past Gnomes. You have to discover and install 3rd party software to get basic UI. This would be like someone launching a new browser that doesn't support tabs out of the box, and people saying "oh, don't complain, there's an extension someone else made that adds tab support".

And note that I'm specifically criticizing the out of the box experience, not the state you can get your system to: I was specifically responding to a claim that the out of the box experience is "great".
Website owners and admins don't have the luxury of enjoying this particular drama, and they are the ones that matter.
A key difference between a passkey and a password is that a passkey is never transmitted off of your device. The existing tech that they most resemble is ssh keys.

They would have to get you to install a malicious version of your web browser and/or passkey manager, as all legitimate implementations enforce having the correct TLS domain, which is significantly harder than getting you to visit a random URL.
No, I made no such mistake. Nor was I talking about a "cocoon" or anything "isolatory".

Taking what I said about a commercially sensical strategy about selling a - what was the word I did use? Proxy - through which you can experience the world, and then spinning some paranoid yarn about not experiencing the world at all... Now that is kind of strange.

That's strange you talk about EVs not lasting longer than 10 years. Do you have a source for that? In Europe there are EVs happily running after 10 years with minimal battery degradation. And that's early generation Nissan's. The later models have vastly improved battery technology, with CATL just releasing a battery which is guaranteed for 1 million kilometres. The point about replacing the engine and transmission is ICE is also telling. EVs have a fraction of the moving parts of ICE, and no explosions in cylinders to degrade a lump of metal. And as for the cost of batteries, I think you'll find that battery costs have been plummeting for the past 15 years as the technology improves dramatically. https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/electric-vehi.... China are making premium EVs now for half the price of ICE equivalents. The race is actually over, it's just that the US hasn't heard yet. Oh and finally? China has launched a growing number of 1000 kilometer range EVs in the past two years. That number is also expected to grow as more solid state batteries hit the market.

And I'm not refuting that. I was just pointing out a solution to a problem the GP proposed as intractable when trying to analyze player input data streams for cheating. The points you made are valid as far as the evolution of this cat and mouse game is progressing (probably still closer to the end end of can then do for now).

That being said, the vast majority of cheats are not that sophisticated. "Simple" analysis of player input should still be used to make low effort cheats less or ineffective. Especially if used to compare consistency of mechanical play by a player. I doubt most cheaters want to just turn on a full bot that plays by itself for the whole game. You can build a model of play customized for an individual player to look for changes in mechanical skill during critical plays. Then even if that was incorporated into the cheat client so that its 'actions' can't be definitevly detected against the players baseline, it would at least be limited to cheating as that player always playing like it's their best day. Either that or the cheater would have to go fully hands off for that account which I imagine is not as appealing for most cheaters.

Input analysis, even much simpleler approaches, can still be a valuable tool to make cheating more difficult and less opportunistic. The goal would be to raise the barrier of entry to cheating without immediately getting banned beyond downloading and running a client. If people who consider cheating in a game have to: order, wait for, and setup additional hardware then aquire models trained for the latest version of the game that are also trained on pro play in a way that lets the cheating be humanly plausible to remain undetected; it will reduce the total number of people who cheat in that title. Will needing to aquire additional hardware stop all cheating? No, I had a friend as a kid that owned a GameShark that I used and ended up corrupting the save on one of my Pokemon games. But if all of that is what is required to be able to successfully and consistently cheat, it will raise both the cost of development of cheats as well as their price to cheaters.

For top level professional play, in person tournaments on managed setups will remain the gold standard for the forseeable future (and besides they are attractive as events for their own sake). And for the rest of us, we will continue to be trapped in the labyrinth with both the cat and the mice.

YMMV, I paid for a no ad version of the Kindle and when I moved countries and changed the kindle store I stated receiving ads. After a 5 minute online chat they removed the ads again, but not before confirming my original purchase of the ad free kindle PW 10 in 2018.

Wired's Attack on Privacy
> Are all Linux distro profiting off Linus’ brand

Poor analogy. All the distros I’ve ever used are totally free.
I've had my fair share of struggles with data anonymization. I've tried various techniques, from simple data masking to more complex approaches like pseudonymization and generalization.

However, I've found that these traditional methods often fall short in preserving the intricate relationships and structures within the data. That's why I was excited to discover synthetic data generation, which has been a game-changer for me. By creating artificial data that mirrors the statistical properties of the original, I've been able to share data with others without compromising sensitive information. I've used synthetic data generation for various projects and it's been a valuable tool in my toolkit.
> The main solutions we have today are IP ban + VPN blocking using a database of known VPN subnets and adding them all to the firewall, and a similar fingerprinting technique which scans their folder structure of certain system folders.

No. VPN blocking is useless to stop malicious actors as most residential connections have DHCP and VPN subnets are added and removed somewhat frequently, it's not that hard to find a "undocumented" one. It also completely excluds anyone using a VPN for non-malicous purposes.

Scanning files and folders is just ridiculous, not only an incredible invasion of privacy, but also trivial to work around.
> One address per human wouldn't be enough (...)

What leads you to believe that?

I alone use more than one device at a time, and my household alone has over twice the number of devices permanently online than residents. If you happen to have more than one SIM card in a mobile phone and enable mobile internet, it also adds up.

Then we have all the non-human-facing computers chatting over the internet.

Don't you agree that even today there are far more devices connected to the internet than there are people?
Those are perfectly good names, but it's also incredibly easy to avoid a few hundred words. `f` or `predicate` or what have you are easy names for functions as arguments, and something like `maybe_match` or `maybe_parsed_username` is more likely to represent the results of an arbitrary regex.

You absolutely don't have to follow every piece of advice you read, but I'll argue for it once more anyway. My guiding principle is that I make mistakes from time to time, and those mistakes are incredibly expensive when they hit prod. If two things need to change in tandem then I'll derive one from the other in code (or at an absolute bare minimum put comments in both locations warning that they need to be changed in tandem, though with modern language features that's rarely necessary for any reason nowadays) (guaranteeing they actually change together). If I don't need the result of a function call I'll still give it a name and explicitly discard it (adding redundant bits of information for future readers -- indicating that I ignored the result intentionally and also reducing future git blame search time in case the result is ever valuable or the API changes). When a chunk of data has some constraints beyond being an arbitrary primitive I create a wrapper type (free at runtime in any system language) to let the compiler double-check my work. Those are all small things, but with a short library of such patterns the code I write is almost always correct if it compiles, and none of those habits are particularly hard to develop.

Not using potentially reserved words, similarly, reduces the chance of certain errors. Kind of like the swiss cheese model in aviation, you add one extra (fallible) layer of redundancy against bugs like foo,set(). Since it's a cheap mitigation, it's one I follow unless I have an amazing reason to do otherwise.

Yes, Python could have named things differently, but that ship has sailed. If I'm using Python (and it winds up being a good choice a few times a week currently) then I have to work around those design issues.

Please re-read my statements, I’m choosing my words carefully.

Urban conflict in general produces civilian casualties with women, men, and children dying in proportions matching the demographics.

In the Russia-vs-Ukraine war there are relatively few dead children because the demographics of both counties skews towards adults — not because of the military doctrine of either side. Children make up less than 20% of the population and hence less than 20% of the civilian deaths.

Gaza has ridiculously skewed demographics with fully half of the population below the age of 18. (Don’t take my word for it, just Google it.)

Hence the civilian deaths in Gaza reflect this skewed demographics. Fifty percent of civilian deaths are children not because Israel is targeting children (as if they were cartoon villains!) but because fifty percent of the civilians are children!

I don’t disagree with the facts. It’s just that facts are being presented without the background detail to make Israel look insanely evil. Which they are not… they just a normal amount of evil.

The last time I looked into it, you had to have a valid target device or client registered to your account, typically a kindle reader. Then an option to download for transfer with usb would show kn the menu for entries in your library. It will download a kindle format ebook (there are multiple generations and even a new format) that is compatible with that device that and is also DRMd using that devices serial as a key.

So no, I wouldn't say you missed anything obvious, which is a feature not a bug as far as Amazon is concerned.

Besides EV maintainence already being 25-50% cheaper. CATL/BYD aiming for ~$50 per kWh next few years, i.e. 60kWh pack drop from $6000 to $3000. Annual light vehicle stats for PRC/CA/RU/US is 12000-20000km, each 10000km saves ~$600 in gas (at least according to US calculators). Looking at less than 5 years to payback for new battery pack by replacement time few years from now on from fuel savings alone, before $200-400 annual savings in maintenance. Less if kWh prices comes down further, or gas prices go up, or if you live in area with more expensive gas than US. Global avg gas prices is ~35% more expensive than US. No many countries outside of petro states with substantially cheaper gas than US. As for long term durability for PRC cars specifically, seems fine so far in Australia / other regions with years of ownership experience. Who knows long term (i.e. 10-20 years) other than the cars been pulled apart by many manufactures and analysts who haven't found fault/substandard built quality.
