Didn’t Edward reveal Apple provides direct access to the NSA for mass surveillance?

> allows officials to collect material including search history, the content of emails, file transfers and live chats

> The program facilitates extensive, in-depth surveillance on live communications and stored information. The law allows for the targeting of any customers of participating firms who live outside the US, or those Americans whose communications include people outside the US.

> It was followed by Yahoo in 2008; Google, Facebook and PalTalk in 2009; YouTube in 2010; Skype and AOL in 2011; and finally Apple, which joined the program in 2012. The program is continuing to expand, with other providers due to come online.

The heat tiles are reusable, just like the Shuttle's. They are basically just a material that insulates very well, instead of a traditional ablative heat shield that burns away. With the space shuttle they ended up spending a lot of time inspecting each tile for damage and replacing cracked tiles. SpaceX has a modern iteration of the same material, hopefully with fewer cracks.

Other factors that work in SpaceX's favor are 1) that most launches will be unmanned, meaning they can take bigger risks than the Space Shuttle program; 2) that the steel body of Starship can handle higher temperatures than the Space Shuttle's aluminum, so a compromised heat shield is more tolerable; 3) for now they have a secondary ablative heat shield below the tiles (that does have to be replaced when it gets used, but that should only happen when tiles fall off)
You think "identity politics" means "communism", that "communism" means "socialism" and that "liberal" means "left"?!

Alright. We're using different dictionaries.

Sometimes Democrats are like "but I'm a woman" because their policies are otherwise indistinguishable from the Republican, ok sure. Democrats are just Republicans that wave a pride flag. If that's the claim than agreed.
To provide a little perspective on what seems to be an fruitless exercise in Democratic Party political apologetics, let’s remind ourselves that the smart, dumb, rich, poor, wise, foolish, old, young, native born, foreign born, male, female American people have spoken in a generally free and fair election. As they did when they elected Biden in 2020, Trump in 2016, Obama in 2012…. Whether you agree with the results or not, that process is a beautiful thing. Think of the billions on this planet who aren’t afforded that luxury.

There is a phrase that took root in the American legal subculture a while back: “come to Jesus meeting”. It refers to a meeting where a lawyer explains to their client the realities of their situation with the expectation that presentation of the cold facts and current climate will “recalibrate their expectations” and move them on a new path…normally to settlement and no further wasting of the Court’s time. The Democratic Party would do well to consider having such public meetings with elder statesmen types from both sides of the aisle. The US is best served when both political parties are strong and healthy.

Paradoxically, it’s harder for the Republicans to do that now, since they are winning. Normally requires a hard slap in the face…as has occurred for Democrats.
Ok but I believe the topic is Donald Trump who has been directly, repeatedly, relentlessly, compared to Adolph Hitler, and he and his supporters slandered as Nazis. Specifically. Directly, relentlessly, repeatedly.

So perhaps this:

> Part of the problem with calling someone a fascist is that people associate the word with Hitler.

Is not making the point you think it's making.
Trump is too old at this point.
I'll never understand this "corporate greed" theory of inflation. Are corporations not usually trying to maximize profits? Are prices not normally as high as the market will bear? The interesting question is not "did they?" but "why were they able to?". What's different now, that nothing kept it in check?

I think you're getting at it with that last chart (though, note: It's top 0.1%, not 0.01%). The last few years has been a story of the haves (with wealth in the stock market) who got richer and the have nots who got decimated by inflation. In other words, corporations were able to raise prices because a lot of people got richer and had more money to spend.
That rule doesn't exist.
Did that work out well at all? Any silver lining? My first thought is: "branches" & "tags" - wow... Would branches/tags have just been easier to work with?

Were they working with multiple services in a multi-repo? Seems like a cross-product explosion of repos. Did that configuration inhibit releases, or was the process cumbersome but just smooth because it was so rote?
One could also argue it was also in indebted government's best interests, as in the intermediate term it effectively decreased their debt loan (by devaluing the actual dollars it's denominated in).
Isn't a mixed fleet always the case once you have more than one server and do rolling updates?
If elections were decided by popular vote campaigns would run differently though
I think the economics of space are are much more likely to be transformed by something like https://www.longshotspace.com/. Rockets are complex, still costly, and polluting.
It was a flap hinge that burnt through, not the flap. They have a solution for block 2 which we'll likely see in test 7 -- move the flap slightly further back so that the hinge isn't in direct flow.

Yeah, well essentially republican went through 2 transformations over the last 8 years.
Taking care of yourself means authentic emotional expression and it's crucial to health, as it reduces this internalized stress, helping to maintain both mental and physical well-being.

In The Myth of Normal, Gabor Maté argues that suppressing emotions, particularly anger, can weaken the immune system and lead to chronic illness, including conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS).

Maté explains that repressing anger -- e.g. due to societal or familial pressure to avoid conflict or "be nice" -- creates internal stress, which over time harms the body’s immune response. This chronic stress actually triggers autoimmune disorders, as the immune system starts to attack the body itself.
Only relevant if you care about reliability
He's not gonna. It's related to the fact that people are saying the economy is fine and people don't like being lied to.
Yeah the impetus for PCC was that homomorphic encryption wasn't feasible and this was the best realistic alternative.
Nope, it isn’t.
sometimes the obvious advice is the most important to hear. thanks for posting.

unfortunately the nature of some health problems that require a caregiver, makes both the sufferer and caregiver into social pariahs. in that case asking for help is unlikely to work well. but even in such cases the other advice is very sound.
They're saying their plan out loud on TV and people still don't believe it. It's maddening. It's not that your Republican neighbor is going to bust down your door and string you up, it's much slower and subtler than that. Institutional subjugation is much easier to pass and for people to quietly ignore. Elimination from public life was literally part of the Nuremberg Laws! And Florida right now has a law on the books that on paper bans transgender people from being in public if they ever felt safe to enforce it.

Calling Trump Hitler gives Trump too much credit, but the political conditions of 1930's Germany and economic anger giving rise to a desire for national purity and scapegoating minorities is pretty dead on. And it's not like Germany is unique, we're really not much more advanced than ritual sacrifice of people taken by demons to bring about a good harvest, err economy. This has been a persistent bug in Human we keep hitting.
Not triple. About 60% more (before taxes).
Because corporations like Walmart and various suppliers decided they could get away with increasing their prices and they blamed it on inflation. Thee isn’t federal law monitoring this.

Employers won’t give raises to match cost of living in those situations.
that's a terrible and arguably broken-by-design workflow which entirely defeats the point of the monorepo, which is to have a unified build of everything together, rather than building things piecemeal in ways that could be incompatible.

For C++ in particular, you need to express your dependencies in terms of source versions, and ensure all of the build artifacts you link together were built against the same source version of every transitive dependency and with the same flags. Failure to do that results in undefined behaviour, and indeed I have seen large organizations with unreliable builds as a manner of routine because of that.

The best way to achieve that is to just build the whole thing from source, with a content-addressable-store shared with the whole organization to transparently avoid building redundant things. Whether your source is in a single repo or spread over several doesn't matter so long as your tooling manages that for you and knows where to get things, but ultimately the right way to do modular is simply to synthesize the equivalent monorepo and build that.
Sometimes there is the requirement that specific sources should have restricted access, which is often a reason why people avoid building from source, but that's easy to work around by building on remote agents.

Now for some reason there is no good open-source build system for C++, while Rust mostly got it right on the first try.
Maybe it's because there are some C++ users still attached to the notion of manually managing ABI.
Lots of work on this in the High Energy Physics community. Big experiments can design their own rad hard silicon, but everyone else has to test. Lots of space rated electronics is also qualified at far lower levels than we need. Upside ia that people are happy to share what they find:

Women endorsing Kamala was expected for obvious reasons. And I guess mocking women after the loss should've also been expected for... obvious reasons
I felt the same, the author seemed to downplay the success while every effect listed in the article felt like a huge improvement.
The controller was amazing though

...

What?

The thumbstick was super shoddy and was prone to mechanical failures, the ridiculously tiny d-pad was literally made for ants. The N64 was a lot of things, but I don't know anyone who's giving out accolades for the controller design.

The GC controller (outside of the HUGE shoulder bumpers that were used as analog in a grand total of like 4 racing games) was a vast improvement on it, and I would say that the Switch Pro Controller ranks up there as one of Nintendo's best though the cost of $60/$70 kind of stung.
Ah, funny. You're not the first person I've seen doing it; I thought it might be some bizarre new trend, which you could perhaps explain.
That does truly does suck. There may be some resources available from your local county under Medicaid/medicare, hopefully respite care and paid nursing if you can’t get your dad into assisted living or don’t want to do so.

Funny how treatment like this used to be a clear-cut decision made by the only experts who can make it (medical professionals), but now innocent people and babies are dying because of peoples random religious beliefs, that obviously have nothing to do with medicine.

It has nothing to do with medicine because there isn't a doctor in the world who would willingly let a patient die when they could have treated them - unless they believe they will end up in jail for it - which is exactly what is happening - and that blood is on your hands for defending this absolute crap.

iOS developer with over 6 years of experience, working across both software agencies and product-focused companies. I bring strong expertise in reactive programming (RxSwift, Combine) along with experience in both SwiftUI and UIKit. My current contract wraps up next week, so I'm ready to jump into a new project immediately.
Thought it sounded familiar. Relied on Synergy for years, until the version 2 transition. Was a total mess, and I just stopped using it.

Adapted my workflow and haven't looked back.

See they've made a version 3, perhaps time to try again.
Don't disagree. I'm merely commenting on the dramatic change in his audience, which IMO opinion was driven by TikTok virality. Going from a crowd of people who were singing along to people standing around waiting for the "TikTok hits" was really strange.
Look, Trump supporters stormed the capitol. If we're going to hold people responsible for the actions of their supporters, let's start there.
Bathroom 3 to 7 times a day? I go like once a day
I really think this conventional wisdom is drastically overblown. Especially in places like this, which are San Francisco liberal adjacent.

Yes, it is not surprising that people who are in the minority in a place with a strong majority viewpoint are less excited to rock the boat. But very few places are like San Francisco.
There's no "block user" requirement in the EU DSA.
I say this as a straight non-religious white man who is disgusted by Trump and the fact that people support him.

Making the main character and his brother hispanic is not "the same" as the game, especially when the remaining straight white non-hispanic men in the show are absolutely awful.

Or take the US version of The Office, where the one Christian character is a running joke, an awful person with terrible takes not meant to be taken at all seriously. Can you imagine how it would've gone over if the one black or hispanic character on the show was just a running joke?
It's not required for launching satellites. But yeah, they need to figure out the heat shield for the flap hinges before they can recover the ship.
What's a dog? Is a child's plastic toy in the shape of a dog a dog? Maybe. Is a cross-bread wolfhound a dog? Maybe. Language games! Meaning is "fuzzy around the edges".

If you insist a cat is a dog, we're not playing a fun game - but that's up to me and up to you - Maybe someone in an undiscovered tribe doesn't know these words and wouldn't balk. If you say "dog" when you mean to insult someone, I might know what you're saying. But there is no mechanism to verify internal meaning.

I _strongly_ suggest reading some Wittgenstien if you're interested in this topic! If I say I speak Swedish fluently but refuse to ever utter a word, do I speak Swedish? Only our actions can vaguely point at our meaning. Language is a game we play with each other which does not and cannot communicate ultimate meaning. All we can do is agree or disagree to play games - animals dancing around a fire.
Apple didn't reduce the price of the 32GB RAM upgrade when they increased the minimum to 16GB. They also haven't reduced the upgrade price since the M1 macs (possibly before then?).

Edit: Actually the M2 Pro 16GB -> 32GB RAM upgrade was $400 [1], and you had to upgrade to the M2 Pro to get access to 32GB, so the M2 Pro, 32GB, 512GB was probably 1299 [2] + 400 = $1699. So upgrading RAM and SSD got you 2.8x the price of the base model.

Leading off the article with Yglesias shows the guy has little idea what he’s proposing to discuss. Imports can reduce GDP because the import is imported and not domestically produced. The formula identifies specifically: that which is consumed domestically but not produced domestically is not part of domestic production. There is no inconsistency here at all with revised trade policy increasing GDP. It should be totally obvious and intuitive that if the same good is consumed domestically, producing it domestically rather than importing it will increase GDP, all other externalities and second-order impacts aside.
Price controls don't work. That is a dumb solution.
They've addressed that in Block 2. Test 6 still flies block 1, so we won't see any substantive improvements on that until test 7.
0-60 in a split second toward totalitarianism? Care to give an example of that, or just throwing stuff against the wall?

I'll give a policy example against the average person's interests -- his 20% tarrifs across the board will cause approximately 20% inflation and a trade war that will ruin our export markets just like it did the first time. Trump brags about giving billions to farmers because he had to after his policies decimated their markets.
Jiggler is better for that at least from a set-it-and-forget-it perspective vs. caffeinate where you have to manually set it.
Didn't SpaceX launch Europa Clipper to Jupiter a few weeks ago?

EKS has become a clusterf*ck to manage and provision. This looks very useful. Bare metal k8s, even running on EC2, might be another option.
Just so you know, i wasn't quoting what I think but what mainstream media says 'indirectly' here in Europe.

Obviously I don't buy it, hence the reason I asked if studies had been made.

It surprises me that I see so many different reason here in the comment why people think others chose trump, when it's clearly their own reasoning.

You say they voted trump because they are fed up of being called bigot, just like YOU would do. Well that's the issue, some Americans might have say fuck them I vote trump but I honestly believe it is marginal.

I believe most cared about the election economy first, but I could be biased and that's literally the reason I asked if studies had been done, beyond the usual blablah.

This actually sounds like a very neat idea. Do you know any services / software companies that operate like that?
I think average and even median aren't the right way to look at this. In an atmosphere where both inflation and wages shot up and then came back down, it's the variance that kills you. Compared to a steady 2-3% growth with low variance, the raw number of people who experienced distressing adjustments, with some people profiting and others losing, is a big deal.
the endless need for ever-increasing profits is what kills any creative profession.

You see this in Hollywood with the stremaers now underpaying the people that make TV shows and movies possible, offshoring to save a few dollars, reducing the number of writes on staff and so on.

I'm not surprised to see the same forces at play for session musicians and so forth.

This is a systemic problem. Companies will happily kill an industry to increase short-term profits.

What holds this system together is that too many people believe that they will ultimately benefit from the exploitation built into the system plus people who love the creative skills they've spent years honing willing to work for pennies to stay in that industry. You see the same dynamic in the video game industry.
Except for some very, VERY, specific use cases (many of which are now irrelevant due to Optane's death) it is professionally negligent to recommend intel in the datacenter.
> "you have to trust us."

You have fundamentally misunderstood PCC.
Inflation is the devaluation of currency. Lowering purchasing power.
> Not exactly, as the fuel provided in orbit by these other missions will allow a much larger payload to reach the Moon's surface and return.

Amortized over the number of launches it takes to get a single moonshot.

> StarShip can already deliver a similar payload to orbit as Saturn V

But Saturn V's purpose was not getting things to orbit. We have plenty of rockets capable of getting to orbit. And given that satellites have differing needs when it comes to orbital trajectories, it's unclear whether we even need that capability. By analogy, we've had jumbo jets for decades, but most air routes are not flying on jumbo jets, because the demand isn't there.
behind the bastards is a great series as well
Agreed, a lot of people were expecting a bump in processing power in the OLED refresh, but it's pretty clear now that they were saving that for the Switch 2.
No, it was an uphill battle regardless of the candidate, is the point. The fundamentals were always difficult for Democrats in general, for non-candidate-specific reasons. Primarily this was due to inflation, which in my view Biden actually handled about as well as he could have, it just still sucked and pissed everyone off. But also because of immigration, which was indeed a policy error, but one which happened years before the campaign began and was not fixable at that point.
> He worked in the US without an employment visa

Aha, but... which employer was that?
Oh, I'm so glad you brought that up! Considering your own sources, seems like that work of scholarship may have not been an entirely impartial view. Particularly, from your own wiki link,
>Margolin and Werth felt that Courtois was "obsessed" with arriving at a total of 100 million killed, which resulted in "sloppy and biased scholarship",[38] faulted him for exaggerating death tolls in specific countries,[6][39]: 194 [40]: 123

I appreciate your deep dive into these scholastic studies. I always appreciate learning new things.
Another useful caffeinate tip is the `-w` option.

You can use it to pass a pid to keep the computer awake until that process completes. I use it for longer-running scripts that I don't want interrupted
No, it's not an attempt to simplify. Advanced textbooks define it in the same way.
I’m banking on the resulting stupid-low interest rates to refi my mortgage to help survive the guaranteed crash after. Not even joking. Great sympathy to those for whom that’s not an option. I figure there is an outside chance that such a move will fail to drop rates to the level it normally would because banks will also be worried, in which case I guess I’m just screwed as much as everyone else.

Damn whoever used that “may you live in interesting times” curse once to many times.
Isla Blanca Park on South Padre Island is the best public spot you can watch from (IIRC it's 3 or 4 miles from the launch pad) and it's an amazing experience, highly recommended to anyone who's able to make it out.
> Context matters?

It does, but you just removed all context from their comment and introduced a completely different context (video production/post) for seemingly no reason.

Going back to the original context, which is grabbing a compressed video stream from a headless browser, the correct approach to handle that compressed stream is to leave it compressed until the last possible moment.
Sure they do, but the government could choose to spend more or less on space, couldn't they?
The image quality improvement is unbelievable on these photos!
Yeah, "surrounded by enemies" comes to mind for South Korea. I served there as an American in defense of the ROK, as generations of American troops have done since WWII, and I think it's ironic that in 100 years they might cease to exist not because of a North Korean and Chinese invasion but because their birth rate simply led to a collapse. (Although North Korea and China have their own demographic problems - I'm not sure if that defuses or heats up the situation.)
