Anecdotal (as is my position). I can theoretically understand this happening but not only have I never seen it, such an issue would need to be escalated. That's a "this is unacceptable" high-level phone call. A call you more than likely have a chance of someone in actual authority answering because IME unless you have SERIOUS spend with big cloud you'll be lucky to make it a rung or two up sales/support.

Plus backups and redundancies that should prevent even the failure of a chassis/storage/etc from being a significant critical issue.

As a Founder/CTO I have the opposite take - put me and my team in a position to /do something/ vs sitting around waiting for AWS to come back whenever it decides to and while they obscure comms, don't update the fake status dashboards, etc. Meanwhile you're telling your customer "Ummm, we don't know - Amazon has a problem. When it comes back I guess it's back".

Coming from a background of telecom, healthcare, and nuclear energy I can't believe that even flies.

Journalism and a robust news media are a critical part of democracy. We can’t have a functioning democracy without them, just like we also need an independent judiciary, independent educational institutions and so on. As such, journalists are on the “side” of democracy. It is no accident that fascists and authoritarians attack the news media. They have to in order to gain and keep power.

The correct posture, therefore, of the free press when a charismatic authoritarian is on the cusp of power is opposition. So-called “neutrality” is not just foolish, it betrays their entire reason for being!

While I am sure we would agree on the dangers posed by certain wealthy donors on both sides, the ruling of Citizen's United allows for something far more insidious - effectively a nullification of regulations set forth in a bipartisan campaign finance reform act eight years earlier (BCRA).

Essentially what we have today is a free-for-all. Any corporation can spend unlimited amounts of money (commonly referred to as "dark money") to influence politics, with virtually no oversight (i.e. FEC reporting requirements). As an individual, my ability to fund political campaigns is limited to thresholds set at the local and federal level, but a billion dollar company like FTX can give millions of dollars to politicians who put forward favorable regulations. Billion dollar AI companies will control potential future regulation in a similar manner. I'm oversimplifying here, and added some helpful links for anyone interested:

> Worth noting that toxic gets downgraded to regular poison after switching out, which does 1/16th of damage every turn, and blocks other status like paralysis or sleep.

> Leech seed would probably not do much

No, that is incorrect and exactly my point of the argument (and therefore the reason why you would've failed my website's captcha check).

The first editions we're talking about had a bug which meant that if Toxin is used first, then Leech Seed does an additional damage per round. And it's ever increasing because the multiplier of Toxin was applied to Leech Seed, which no defensive attack can counteract except Rest (and a Relaxo that had enough HP to survive a second attempt of Toxin+Leech Seed stacking).

Note that leech seed will literally in this combination also restore more than 100% HP of Venusaur even when the targeted Pokemon has only 1hp left, each round, making Venusaur almost unbeatable without a Pokemon that has Psybeam and both a high special attack value and a high speed value like Mewtwo, Mew, or Gengar.

Detailed explanation of how the function behind it works:

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Toxic_%28move%29

for sake of reference: (N * max(1, int(0.0625*MaxHP)))

Note that this was fixed specifically in later editions of Pokemon Stadium and second generation editions, wherein Toxic / bad poisoning and leech seed will reset the counter to 0 each round, whereas the counter was ever increasing in the first generation.

It's kinda funny that we have arrived at a generational knowledge transfer problem, in Pokemon. Google's results without specifically searching for "bug" or "glitch" will happily generate bullshit answers about this topic, always referring to newer editions and their online documentation.

That's something only Indian citizens and people living in India can decide. Outsiders may have opinions, but they cannot override the will of the people who have a legitimate standing in the matters of the state.

And note how I included "people living in India" here. Legitimacy is a fuzzy concept. Citizenship is a legal category, and it should not matter for legitimacy as such. But it is widely accepted that citizens living outside their country still have a legitimate standing in the matters of the country. But beyond that, a legitimate government should serve the interests of the people factually living within the country. India does not have a large non-citizen population, and the distinction is mostly irrelevant with them. But some other countries do. If their governments only serve the interests of their citizens, they are fundamentally illegitimate.

By the way, study after study has shown a u shaped life expectancy vs bmi, with peak life expectancy at bmi around 28. Higher BMI around 30 is even better if you have a chronic illness like heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, cancer etc.
this is true even for Asian populations where average bmi is 22. “Normal” is actually worse for life expectancy, “overweight” is ideal, and obese and underweight are both bad.

You have actually set up a completely impossible-to-win scenario.

I can advertise a service running on open hardware with open software. Unless you personally come inspect my datacenters to verify my claims, you’ll never be happy. Even then you need to confirm that I’m not just sending your traffic here only when you’re looking, and sending it to my evil backdoored hardware when you aren’t.

At some point you have to trust that an operator is acting in good faith. You need to trust that your own hardware wasnt backdoored by the manufacturer. You need to trust that the software you’re running is faithfully compiled from the source code you haven’t personally inspected.

If you don’t trust Apple’s motives, that’s certainly your prerogative. But don’t act like this ridiculous set of objections would suddenly end if they only just used RISC-V and open source. I would bet my life’s savings that you happily use services from other providers you don’t hold to this same standard.
I mean it's a pretty fundamental tenet of liberty that you have the freedom to do things only to the extent that you don't harm others.

And it's a simple consequence of scaling that the more massively you scale a communication system like the internet the more pathways there are for person A to harm person B.

So naturally there end up being more cases evaluating harm that involve the internet. Some of those cases will involve ordinary judicial things like injunctions.

And all of that is true regardless of whether you believe any one particular injunction is justified or unjustified. It's just a matter of what happens at scale.

You can, of course, try to give up the notion that liberty ends when you start causing harm, and many people have gone down that path. But for those of us who are still in the liberty camp, these questions are difficult and involve weighing a number of concerns and claims. And anyone who thinks they have easy answers is probably just deeply confused or high on rhetoric.

You can roughly be:

1. Wrong and ignorant

2. Wrong and knowledgeable

3. Right and ignorant

4. Right and knowledgeable

There's also when there's just a disagreement of opinion because you weight the tradeoffs differently, in which case there's less of a right or wrong.

The main difference is that in those cases the people involved were in camps 2-4 or simply weighted tradeoffs differently. In this case the author seemed much more clearly in camp 1.

Regarding the claim that "this one would have fixed hibernation on Linux" - maybe, but it's hard to evaluate a road not taken. It could have made other tradeoffs or caused other issues down the road that aren't visible to you right now because it didn't get mainlined or maybe hibernation would still have been broken. Or maybe it would have been hunky dorry. But it kind of doesn't matter because the author in this case was clearly wrong (i.e. the patch wouldn't have achieved the goal it set out to do and would have predictably caused vulnerabilities to become possible in the future as the kernel evolved).

As for Rust-in-Linux, it sounds like your not actually up to date [1]. I'll forgive Ted's emotional volatility at the infamous filesystem talk as he's been much more calm about it now:

> There is a need for documentation and tutorials on how to write filesystem code in idiomatic Rust. He said that he has a lot to learn; he is willing to do that, but needs help on what to learn.

I'd say "trench resistance" not warfare. The Rust movement is trying to shift the daily work of ~15k developers in a mostly bazaar development model. There's going to be resistance and push back and some of it will feel unfair to the Rust folks and some will feel unfair to the C folk and both will be right.

When I was younger, it was common to add starch to make the cotton easier to iron etc - that would definitely make it stiff. Thankfully we don't do that anymore. Comfortwise, Cotton beats practically any other fabric + it gets softer the longer you use it so in a way it actually incentivizes reuse.
That's not the argument though. The argument is that rent seeking as a business strategy is a deeply flawed and counter productive economic practice that ultimately limits our species' technological advancements and societal progress. The sooner we move past it, the better off we will all be. I agree that you should be able to create whatever you want and keep it 100%. So, clearly if someone were to steal your creation from your home and publish it online that would be theft. However, if you decided to take advantage of your creation by creating an infinite number of copies at no cost to you at all (which is what publishing through digital media means) that's your decision as a creator to make, nobody forced that on you.

I'd say it's definitely possible to be in business and at the same time have business ethics, to care about the truth. I don't think it's inherently wrong to publish honest opinions, as well as funny comic strips, along with the other news, if it helps sell papers.

The problems occur when business ethics, and the truth, honesty, get tossed out for the sake of profit and/or partisanship.
One of ProPublica's greatest recent victories (in my opinion) was the FOIA lawsuit to secure public release of PPP loan information, along with other COVID relief loans like EIDL. Aside from the sheer scale ($1 trillion) and the rampant fraud [1], there were politicians from both sides of the aisle who took these forgivable business loans while delaying other forms of government relief.
