As a single human being, he's literally not capable of suffering as much as the bereaved relatives of a classroom full of murdered children, shortly afterwards made the targets often by name and photo of the most insane people in the country.

> Every major media outlet has some instances of, effectively, targeted harassment in their history.

Is this even an argument? They get sued all the time, and lose. They haven't ever viciously and endlessly gone after the parents of a classroom full of dead children. They did go after Richard Jewell and Steven J. Hatfill, though.
Thanks! Helium only automates browsers. If the 2FA is happening in the browser, then you can use Helium to automate the flow. If it's outside, then that part cannot be handled by Helium.

Unless one is of the philosophy that Google is not required to support alternative browsers more than complying with (their best interpretation of) the standard, which is not a philosophically incoherent position.

Again, where is the word "promise" in this post?

The post title in its original context is clearly referring to the confusion discussed in the very first sentence: "Today a page about the new Common Clause license in the Redis Labs web site was interpreted as if Redis itself switched license." The title is saying that Redis core's license was not switched to Common Clause at that time in 2018. That's all. It is not titled "I promise that Redis will remain open source forever".
Yes, reddit is very quick to jump to malice, but I don't think it's a big jump to think that Google is out to show you ads by any means necessary. They are an ad company, that's their purpose.
That's really cool that it exists / is possible. Maybe someone will create a similar service that undercuts them - but I would imagine the licensing agreements somewhat require them to do drm with the player / media server. 9k entry cost is going to keep essentially everyone out of the market - and much of that sounds like total bs costs, in no way related to the cost of the components.
It's funny ... I'm old enough to have a HUGE collection of DVDs and BluRays (many still in their original shrink-wrap lol).

But these days, if I feel like watching a movie that I own physically... sometimes I still look to see if it's on a streaming service that I'm subscribed to, or will even pirate it ... just because it's more convenient than having to turn on the BluRay player and then navigate those awful menus with un-skippable ads (you forgot those) and copyright screens.

The copyright notices were especially egregious and annoying to me BECAUSE I PAID FOR IT! Don't punish your paying customers because of the people you don't like... people that are not reading your annoying message.
This was extensively covered in multiple court cases which are public record. Why don’t you familiarize yourself with them and come back go this thread once you have a better understanding of what it’s about?
My public school denied education to 99% of students because they let the 1% of students who shouldn't have been there disrupt the classroom every single day.

The outcome for society is that every single student got a sub-par education, because things moved at a glacial pace, had constant interruptions, students felt unsafe, the pace was so slow that students felt bored, etc.

A far better outcome would have been to make a small public school for the highly-academically oriented students (top-10%, future doctors and engineers) a disruption-free normal curriculum (middle-80%) and a special-needs school for all the students who had learning disabilities, behavioral issues, etc which prevented them from being able to thrive in a conventional classroom.
Well, compared to github copilot (paid), I think Gemini Free is actually better at writing non-archaic code.

This title needs to be uhm... rewritten.
Groups like IEEE and the ACM don't do what professional associations / unions / "guilds" do... help regulate / moderate employer behaviour in a given industry.

Of course those associations are always a mixed bag, often fostering some mediocrity or being themselves corrupt.

But definitely feel like there's some aspect of that missing in our sector.

But the ruling was for compensatory damages - that is, the compensate the victims. It wasn't a punitive damages - which would make more sense - basically "You don't get to have your infowars any more".

Compensatory damages is making the claim that the sandy hook families actually suffered $1B in damages.

The argument is that error correction doesn’t scale.
Digital phone audio, which was μ-law [1] rather than linear PCM, was not exactly uncompressed. However, the compression involved was very simple, and was designed to offer the 8-bit samples a higher dynamic range than linear PCM would be capable of at the same bitrate (linear PCM would need 14 bits to represent the full dynamic range of 8-bit μ-law). It resulted, by design, in quite clear audio for human voice, as compared to the more aggressive compression used today, but couldn't handle non-voice audio like music as well.

[1] μ-law was used in North America and Japan, but a similar encoding called A-law was used elsewhere

Nope

> The NSA has built a surveillance network that has the capacity to reach roughly 75% of all U.S. Internet traffic.

> An internal NSA audit from May 2012 identified 2776 incidents i.e. violations of the rules or court orders for surveillance of Americans and foreign targets in the U.S. in the period from April 2011 through March 2012, while U.S. officials stressed that any mistakes are not intentional.

> The FISA Court that is supposed to provide critical oversight of the U.S. government's vast spying programs has limited ability to do so and it must trust the government to report when it improperly spies on Americans.

> A legal opinion declassified on August 21, 2013, revealed that the NSA intercepted for three years as many as 56,000 electronic communications a year of Americans not suspected of having links to terrorism, before FISA court that oversees surveillance found the operation unconstitutional in 2011.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010s_global_surveillance_di...

The kicker to me:

> it must trust the government to report when it improperly spies on Americans

The courts told them to watch themselves and to self incriminate if they do crimez. An honor system. Which naturally, they did not snitch on themselves to the courts, because why would they.

Also let's not forget that they can make all the illegal surveillance legal in an instant just by labeling any person a "terrorist"
At what point does the on device stuff eat into their market share though? As on device gets better, who will pay for cloud compute? Other than enterprise use.

I’m not saying on device will ever truly compete at quality, but I believe it’ll be good enough that most people don’t care to pay for cloud services.
Google beat OpenAI at their own game.
If you filter for kids that are able to learn at a faster pace, and then expect them to perform at a faster pace (as in you actually teach them more), I'm not seeing where the scam is. It sounds like they're serving a group of students that normal schools don't. It's also bizarre to characterize that as "some growth" incidentally happening; the schools challenge their kids more, and the kids grow more. It's very much an explicit reason people choose them. The alternative is those kids with latent talent/supportive parents sit in classes with other kids where they repeat the same material for 8+ years, and the only thing they grow is resentment for their peers and the adults that put them into that situation.

> To say if it succeeds that it could obsolete all other frameworks is an incredibly bold claim.

2nd that. For example I doubt that most people are willing to learn Rust in the short time. People are still relying on JQuery and PHP because it does the job.
I had heard rumors about it. The first time I really believed it was when a friend of mine was student teaching and was forced to give no less than 50% if the name was on the paper. He said there was one kid who refused to even write his name to get that free 50% and they gave him an incomplete or something instead. I probably wouldn't have believed it until he told me about all this. He ended up getting his teaching license but never taught due to how bad the schools were policy and behavior-wise. I have other friends who are teachers and I'd say close to half will only teach at private schools for those same reasons.

Our hot-reloading is "magic" for the Rust ecosystem (this post's original intended audience). Hot-reloading formatted strings and simple Rust code is basically magic in Rust land.

I use blazing-fast tongue-in-cheek but Dioxus is really really fast. We did a ton of R&D into making Rust<->DOM very fast - our sledgehammer binding layer is faster than SolidJS on the JSFrameworkbenchmark [0].

As for rendering - we have two options: webview and GPU. The GPU stuff is nascent but capable. The final vision is something like React Native Skia where the majority of the interface is drawn on the GPU but interactions are done via Native System APIs. That way you get apps that look the same across platforms but "feel" native. To render, we have to step through the platform's native containers anyway, so you can always composite in a native system widget as a component.

I'm not sure I can point you to a single reference, but a good starting point would be the UK Met Office's "Unified Model", which provides a framework for configuring model simulations that scale from sub-mesoscale rapid refresh (e.g. the UKV system) to traditional global modeling (e.g. MOGREPS) and beyond into climate (latest versions of the Hadley Centre models, which I think the current production version is HadGEM3).

You are mixing many things together. Google is so evil, please do not use anything they build, even things they directly or indirectly contributed to, like open web standards!

I am no Google fan, and I left it for a bunch of reasons. There may probably places where they do have monopolistic practices - and I won't comment on them - but my engineering sense is the explanation is much simpler here.
There is no good capitalism in the health insurance field. Every dollar of revenue that goes to the insurer is a dollar not going to patient care. Best case you're a friendly parasitic middleman.
I think what you're describing is not incompetence, but Hubbard's corollary to Hanlon's Razor:

We should aim to have incentives that produce the behavior we want, which is that YouTube should function the same in Firefox as it does in Chrome.

I will humbly disagree. I don't think fiction plays into it much, more the other way around. I think the 'multiple universes' ideas in fiction are likely to have been inspired by those experimental results. Just knowing how the double slit experiment works made me consider that every wavefunction might result in an infinite number of outcomes that never interact again, despite always having a dim view of fiction with parallel worlds. The fictional multiverses still aren't plausible, since usually there is some interaction between the different worlds, and they don't well represent the continuous nature of things, but it seems a little less dumb conceptually having learned about that experiment, quantum erasure, etc.
In the limit, going from first space velocity V1 (low circular orbit) to second space velocity (parabolic speed) V2 = sqrt(2) * V1 takes delta V = (sqrt(2)-1) * V1, then at infinity you do plane change to the opposite with expending zero delta V, then come back and return to the same orbit, only the opposite direction (largest speed change) spending again delta V = (sqrt(2)-1) * V1. Comparing this total of 0.82 * V1 to spending 2 * V1 if you do that on the spot - just reversing the orbital velocity in place - shows the benefit.

I'm not sure if I would be comfortable working for the military / a contractor directly, but I'm more ambivalent than unsure. Certainly each individual has to make their call.

I do wonder about this whole premise. Let's say your country is under attack by an oppressive neighbor or known bad terrorist organization?

Would people feel differently?

I get the same weapon could be used differently / against less bad targets, but it doesn't change that they can also be used to defend / attack people who genuinely want to do you harm.

I do not see this as a cut and dry call.

Parties play games in cases of this nature all the time. Court battles like this can be bitter.

Perjury is a criminal charge. Contempt is an option to. Judges use the lever of jail time to deal with situations like this all the time (again, direct experience here -- a surrogate court judge put two 70+ year old ladies in Rikers for a month for failing to comply with the court repeatedly over years). Going to default was exceptional behavior that nobody shed a tear for because it's Alex Jones.

Edit: To answer your question
> How many more chances do you think Jones deserves here?

If you're looking to make a political statement, sure none.
If you're looking to have a fair trial, there's still steps A, B and C.

Even the fact that he had to fight all those cases for the same thing separately is a deliberate step to fuck him. Then the court treating giving the same data in each trial as a separate offense is certainly cherry-picking.

I'm not really complaining though because the concept of a fair trial does not exist. Civil or criminal. Do whatever you can not to end up in court. It always boils down to who has the most resources and the appetite for battle. Some pockets (like the state's) are near-infinite.

It's another (tragic) example of why the App Store cannot persist in a free market. It's sad, but Apple would prefer that you download YouTube from their store instead of a healthy alternative on your own terms. They have no qualms abusing their double-standard for publishing when it hurts the little guy, which is as monopolistic as monopoly abuse gets.

Europe got it right. Crush the App Store, and you kill every maligned incentive with it. Only through natural competition will Apple be forced to finally respect their users.

I would much rather directly rely on Selenium's stable APIs than someone else's wrapped APIs that is opionated and could be incomplete, incorrect, outdated and potentially unmaintained someday. There are always much more resources put into Selenium than these add-ons.

If I really want, I can choose a few APIs that I actually use and wrap them within my codebase. That's more reliable than this.
ok, whether you file your billions as income or as capital does not matter.

What matters is

2. if just a tiny fraction of the populace has immense financial power

2b. effectively demolishing point 1

You are now at step 2b. The next steps I would not even mention.
Really? Then why run antivirus? Why have home defense, pepper spray, alarms, doors, locks, personal alarms, police, security guards? Why all the hate against United Health CEO and support for the assassin? Every company is in it for the money and if they can "get you", they will. And from a business competition standpoint, it's been proven time and time again that companies will go to great lengths to curtail their competition. We've seen the numerous lawsuits but what about things we don't see?

They were what sales people would refer to as "qualified leads". We had two simple questions they would answer before submitting the contact form. It really helped to define what clients were looking for and their expectations. This made first contact a lot more productive, and allowed the firms to get clients into their design process and get a commitment a lot faster. For many of the firms we were working with, this meant better leads than the ones they getting on various other platforms like Houzz and then they started investing more in their content as a marketing approach then they did before.

How morally bankrupt and pathetic you must be to consider killing a person “inefficient”.

“Activists” like this create much more harm than good for society. Mainly because their goal and general attitude is “destroy” rather than “create”. Secondly because without a decent actionable definition of justice they look at things from their own subjective and extremely biased feeling of what is just. Arrogant, childish and dangerous position.
