>why won't Google/Mozilla prevent this by making an extension and a person's account inseparable

This can be gotten around easily by making a separate Google account for the extension. It would require using gmail rather GSuite (without transferring over the entire GSuite domain.)

FWIW the Boox devices are good and are in the 13" space, but my annoyance with them is 1) Android and 2) I broke the screen on my Boox Note 2, and there is no way to repair it, even a screen replacement is impossible apparently, so YMMV.

"Exploiting arbitrage" is not high on my list of concerns.

For me it really depends on the situation. When I'm gaming or watching a movie, I prefer effectively no light. In fact, I built an enclosed space in my garage that is light tight. Then I have an overhead LED strip with variable intensity control. I find that programming and video calls both work best if I have a reasonable level (about 50% of what a typical office overhead would provide). I absolutely love complete darkness but after a while I start to feel like a cave troll.
The number of “believe them when they say they will do…” articles over the past year contrasted with what happened in November and now, is a sobering picture of the state of things.

Not a single person has any license to be surprised at anything that’s happening.

At best we can say “this will be variously slowed down at points due to legal battles,” and hopefully even infighting with the broligarchs. But none of this is a shock.

"Clean" is relative. I don't think there's much point getting hung up on this because waste is a fact of life, but if the sell is no waste, fusion can't do that: tritium, especially after intense neutron bombardment is a known biohazard and the whole point of fusion is the energy levels and the associated intense neutron density.

There will be irradiated products. There will be a waste stream. Deuterium is needed too.

Less than fission per unit energy delivered? Hopefully.

I'd have gone with "cleaner", perhaps. I'm personally more interested in renewables which are less intense energy but more immediately tractable. But watching fusion inch (sorry, improper use of imperial measure. 2.5 centimetre) forward in time is fascinating.
Yes Nazis loooove to play games like this, because Nazis thrive in the grey area that is the benefit of the doubt. But we saw the salute, he overplayed his hand. There’s no grey area. If you Nazi salute you are a Nazi, I don’t make the rules. Don’t like it, don’t heil Hitler.
No, no sources. I was just saying that, if there was a trend of autocrats trying to liberalize, it was not necessarily inconsistent with a trend of civil war.
Google Fiber is symmetrical.
Yep, in 2022 it finally started using libc on *BSD too.

But ... there's a difference between being able to do direct syscalls via asm, and them being portable across kernel versions, which is what this subthread was about.

Granted, most people want version portability, but still on a technical level, it's not the same thing.

I think most recursive servers will try more than one of the authoritatives before giving up. And it's common to keep stats on which servers work, and send traffic to those.

So if you get the glue that says mastercard has 5 servers, and you already know 4 of them are good, probably send your query to one and don't even bother trying to find the address of the .ne server.

I'd be surprised if it bubbles up in logging unless all/ maybe most of the authoritative servers for a popular hostname/domain name are unresponsive.

In the United States? For huge swaths of the population that answer is obviously no. Financial education and literacy in this country is a complete fucking joke. Very few people expected that they would be on a payment schedule that amounted to $200/mo for 30 years, and for a significant portion of them, there was really strong messaging implying that getting a college education was the only pathway to financial success, such that student loans were worth it. Two generations and counting have been massively duped.

The offer would be $10k for the extension page, or $10 for just the code.

Google/mozilla don't add legal language because legal language doesn't make something illegal. They can say "we'll remove your extension if we find out you've sold it", but they way they'd find out would be that the extension now serves malware anyway.

>What regulations of this committee do you think saved lives that other agencies did not?

I did not argue for this specific committee. I replied to your incorrect, uninformed assertions.

> I think fisherman know how to be safe

You have obviously not worked with commercial fishermen. Maybe you have never worked with any complicated industrial process. Safety regulations do not propagate by osmosis. It requires an agency verifying them.

> without bureaucrats in DC that have never been in a fishing boat butting in.

In my experience, the USCG inspectors who execute inspections and inform regulations served on boats. You are making an armchair assumption about how the process works.

> You just need coast guard for emergencies.

This is also ridiculously incorrect. USCG safety inspections have prevented many emergencies.

> They got along just fine before 2018 when this committee was created.

2018 is when we started implementing 46 CFR Subchapter M, which adds many overdue safety improvements and still does not bring us up to the standards of more developed flags.

> But yeah, maybe we should add 20 more agencies just to be safe...

This is strawman nonsense. I get frustrated with regulation as much as anyone. I had to allocate capital to upgrades to be compliant with regulation. I have opinions about which regulations were important and necessary and which were not. Those who want to burn it all down have no real world experience in this domain.

I’ve got a chrome extension sitting in the review queue right now that leans a bit more dev-centric in that it opens a Monaco-based editor (with markdown preview) whenever it detects you’ve opened a raw text file in the current tab.

It also supports creating new documents, but that’s more of an ancillary use case (for me anyhow).

The nice thing is that it’s 100% local.
No, my comment was about what APIs a platform considers to be their stable, external API. That you can technically call them anyway (except for ones like OpenBSD that actively check and prevent you) doesn't mean you're not doing something unsupported.
I don’t get the good guys / bad guys mindset tbh.
Sure china gov is pretty bad and the us is by many metrics better - but why center your whole worldview around things that probably don’t affect you that much in your daily life?

US also has forced labour, huge prison population, bombing civilians and journalists to oblivion, literally nuking other countries and religious fanatics — do I still think china would be less pleasant as our new overlord? Yes — Do I think the world is better off with US-American hegemony? I’m not so sure.

Maybe it’s a net good for the world if not one power is dominating — maybe it’s the start of a hellish ww3.
I choose to believe the former.

edit: typos
I think you would have to change the API to return a copy of the string as the get_env result which the caller is responsible for free-ing or the env implementation would have to ensure returned values from get_env are stable and never change which is effectively a memory leak.

Just for a global comparison. Fibre is pretty ubiquitous in the UK but very little over 1G, and not usually symmetrical.

Most top end packages are 1G and go for between $45-70 depending on the reseller. But you can get it pretty much anywhere that qualifies as a decent sized town.

(We do have close-to a monopoly on the backbone, which is good for coverage but bad for speeds, looks like they are finally starting to role out full 1G/1G this year https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2024/08/openreach-reve... )

A lot of people lately are complaining about a lack of price stability, it seems like a good angle.

Also as an SF resident with no realistic alternative to Comcast cable, I'd appreciate a provider who didn't try to sneak price increases onto my bill a couple of times a year.

In a healthy market I wouldn't expect big margins for sellers, but honestly if someone's making insane profits by selling me a product or service that's excellent and better than my non-empty set of alternatives I'm not going to complain.
Although this still happens in the UK, this hasn't been the case for years in the US.

C could provide functions to lock/unlock a mutex and require that any attempt to access the environment has to be done holding the mutex. This would still leave the correctness in the hands of the user, but at least it would provide a standard API to secure the environment in a multi threaded application that library and application developers could adopt.

> Either case is far less subject to linkrot than URLs have turned out to be.

I do not mean URLs, though, I mean locally linking from one page or notebook to another. It's internal references on steroids, and is much more useful to me than my collection of paper notebooks and references were

I'm a BuJo afficionado too! I'm still adapting it to my e-ink note-taking system, starting to get there via folders and notebooks instead of one big notebook, and its exactly why internal linking is so useful!
I think it must be that it will have the net effect of making people less free. They throw out stuff that could make money when it's good for freedom like Google Reader.

Every time I read the story of Therac-25 I feel incredibly frustrated AECL never faced real consequences or (criminal) liability for it.

Maybe I'm retroactively imposing modern day safety culture, but reading the timeline and history, it feels like AECL was completely negligent in waving off the issue as more and more fatalities kept piling up.

Can't believe the devices weren't pulled offline to definitively solve the issue after the first death. Instead, they basically went "can't repro, oh well".

Real justice would be changing the laws and sentencing guidance (through a democratically legitimate process), and re-evaluating the sentences of everyone affected.

Whatever you think about the outcome in this case, it is the moral equivalent of vigilante justice. It is unfair to others convicted under the same regime, who don't happen to be libertarian icons who can be freed in exchange for a few grubby votes.
If we have supply start matching demand, we'd get closer to the the "houses keep going up 1-2% a year, but inflation is 5%, you have a 3% drop in value each year even though on paper, you have an increase" approach.

Most metro areas are still not keeping up with demand. Even the ones that are doing better in things like zoning (such as in TX, NC, FL) are getting enough growth from other locations that the induced demand is still outpacing supply.

We need state and federal policies that can override the local NIMBYism. CA's recent experience is both a good start but also provides a bunch of lessons learned on how these policies can fail and should be improved both in CA in other jurisdictions - especially when localities are actively trying to work around them.

In a democracy, what method would you propose judges use to impose restrictions on the actions of the democratically elected government based on a written constitution?
Thinking about your argument a little more, it seems like our disagreement comes from your belief that "about X" is 'infectious' to all higher order statements, whereas I don't believe this is the case. The best way I can think to argue my point right now is from examples.

Suppose we had many books about movies on one hand, each book containing movie reviews or something, and then we have one book about [books about movies] on the other hand, call it B. The book B, which is about [books about movies], simply contains the number of words that each book about movies has written in it. Is B "about movies"? I would argue that it is not, it contains nothing about movies in it at all, just numbers describing other books. I can say "all books about movies are wrong" without meaning to refer to B, as B is not wrong (as long as the word-counting is correct).

Would you argue that B is "about movies"?

> It's a literary analogy, not a physical analogy

When the phrase was coined in 1984 [1], it was a valid hypothesis. The last forty years have given evidence for the null.

The more plentiful information has become, the more we've sought (and in some cases, needed) to corral and control it. Sometimes for our own purposes. In many cases because absent such archiving entropy takes its toll.

The problem with "information wants to be free" is it presumes a natural force which doesn't exist. There also isn't a natural force that wants to make DRM and NFTs. But there is one that wants to forget, to corrupt and re-interpret. (There are very human forces that wish to control.) Sit back and let information do what it wants, which is precisely nothing, and the forces that beckon us into control and forgetfulness will win.

Population problems won't hit them for the next 15 years or so. That's enough time to figure out an immigration solution if nothing else comes up. Just like literally any developed country does, as nobody has positive fertility rates. It's not like no government is aware of their issues, that's the reason why Japan is increasing their immigration targets every year. Despite all the calamity about immigration in the US, they will also keep being immigration friendly for these reason. These problems exist everywhere.

> As far as the market goes, I think part of the problem is that most industries are not true free markets, AKA: high competition, low barriers to entry.

That sounds like the classic "if all you have is a hammer, all problems look like nails".

It's true that decentralised decision making can make good use of local information. But you're ignoring the kind of problems that are created by decentralisation itself, so they can't be fixed by more of it.

A system that is being optimized with only local information is prone to getting stuck in local minima, situations which can be very far from the true optimum.

To escape from the local minima you need to gather global information compiled from the whole system, and use it to alter the decisions that individual actors would make from just their locally achievable information.

That's the role of regulation, and why regulated markets work better than chaotic ones. Regulation can make individuals coordinate to achieve larger goals than what's possible without it. And to enforce effective regulation you need some kind of authority, which is centralised.

Of course that raises the question of how that authority is created and what goals does it set; for that, we get politics, with various groups trying to influence what the authority will decree and whose interests it will pursue harder.
