> You cannot have a meaningful debate if the other party isn’t arguing in good faith.

It depends on what you consider to be the point of the debate: to convince your opponent, or to convince the audience. If it's the audience, then all you have to do is point out the mistakes and bad faith of the rebuttals and then every debate is a meaningful debate.
> Because if you actually believed it, you'd be too terrified to be distracted by party politics.

Weirdest instance of "whataboutism" I've ever seen. Yes pay no attention to eg forthcoming deaths due to withdrawal of pepfar, anti-malarals, etc but do pay attention to the effect of EVs on climate change (don't worry that it's the same guy selling the EVs that's causing the deaths).

Like Jesus Christ you really expect people to be convinced by this reasoning?
Boeings problem is not that the United States government isnt giving it enough blank checks (cost plus contracts). If anything it’s the opposite. Fat cat got fat, and now everyone else in encroaching on their territory.

This is the true tragedy of Doge right now. The amount of fat cat entities who are eating themselves to death on the backs of USA tax payers is staggering. But I doubt anything effective ever comes out of Elon and company here.
As a UK citizen, I'm hoping this is actually a backdoor effort by the US to hack into people's data rather then something our fine folks were pushing for.

Or at the very least, it's a starting point for negotiations around how best to stop bad actors without compromising user security.
No that's 100% accurate.

Marcan is probably a little acutely upset not just because he was told off, but also because Linus hasn't waded into the actual issue at hand (which he needs to, not even Greg K-h can answer it). But that issue is less urgent and it's probably reasonable for Linus to:

a) Mull it over before making a rash decision
b) let tempers calm.

I would guess Linus will wait til Monday and is probably also having some off-list chats anyway.
This is a touch dramatic. The hash of the payload and the hash of the RPM header are still reproducible and can be verified. It's just that the existence of internal signatures makes it impossible to do a simple checksum of the file.
>and virtue signalling

I'm not disagreeing as I don't know what exact things you're talking about, but I find "virtue signalling" and "communication" to be very similar terms these days. From statement to statement I'm not sure what anyone means by that phrase anymore.
I think maybe we're talking past each other. I'm saying that when advocating for privacy, an effective framing (if winning privacy rights battles is the goal) is to make it "us" vs. "them" instead of some kind of party based push.

If it's associated too strongly with a specific party it alienates too many people to ever get mass support and become a fundamental value that "everyone" agrees on
It's a common thought-terminating cliche [0] employed by the unsophisticated to simply declare the other party as "arguing in bad faith" and claim victory, while still being very clearly, undeniably, wrong.

Sure. But if one country (or one group of countries) legally requires Apple to do this worldwide and another country (or group of countries) legally forbids Apple to do this even within their own national borders, then Apple has to decide which country (or group of countries) it cares more about. It's not obvious to me how that would shake out, but the UK certainly can't assume it would like Apple's decision there, especially since seeming to care about privacy is an important part of Apple's marketing brand.

I have no idea what you're trying to achieve here, I really don't get it, but I am for sure fed up dealing with the fallout.

> Dave Airlie: To back up Sima here, we don't need grandstanding, brigading, playing to the crowd, streamer drama creation or any of that in discussions around this. The r4l team and drm maintainer team have this sort of thing in hand, it's not like we don't understand the community of the Linux kernel, and having this first reaction to blow shit up and dramatise it just isn't helpful.

(Obviously I am taking things a bit out of context here, I recommend giving this thread a read.)

Seems to be pretty level-headed, on point, and damning. So yeah, I don't know if I am on marcan's side this time.

I used to work with someone (back in Palm Pilot days) who would have a list of something like 100s of overdue ToDo items. He was just terrible at starting and completing tasks.

And, yes, you can get to the point where the magnitude of curating and chipping away at your list is so great that it's easier to just put it out of mind.
At some point I hope we get a government that governs global internet interactions. National governments are just making up silly jurisdiction rules because there's a customer that is currently in their place, overlooking the global nature or at least feel of the internet.

If I'm in one country and the person with whom im interacting is in another, whose geographical laws take precedence? Now imagine interacting with many many geographies at the same time.

It doesn't work and I hope one day we at least admit it to ourselves.
My gf doesn't have iCloud. She makes a backup from time to time by connecting her iphone to her macbook, encrypts the backup folder with 7z, and then I store the resulting file in my dropbox.

BTW anything I upload to Dropbox is encrypted first.

I wouldn't mind some context here. Is 0.05 the price _only_ inside of Russia.

Regardless, 0.05 seems extremely cheap to me. I can't think of any places in the states that pay that little.

And 0.26 seems pretty darn expensive. I can only think of a few places I have been that charge that much.
If the other end is the government, then it's kinda valid? =)
I feel that the EU is behind the curve. Trump just disbanded the task force that targets Russian oligarchs:

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-administration-disban...

Furthermore, there is a clear danger that Trump will make peace in Ukraine (without consulting either the EU or Ukraine) and have the EU pay for the reconstruction. And he'll possible resume friendship with Russia after the EU-Russia relationships have been ruined.

The EU should stop playing the games of the US, which change every four years. It should develop its own foreign policy and stop being taken advantage of. Rule #1: Never get involved in a war that is promoted by the US. All "friends" of the US have been screwed over in various proxy wars. Kissinger even said "to be a friend of the US is fatal".
One of the largest businesses of the Internet to date has been piracy. Individual informal piracy has been the smallest component of this. By far the largest has been corporate mass-scale piracy, and LLMs are probably the largest heist to date. They've literally downloaded the sum total of all human thought and knowledge, compressed it into queryable lossy compression models (which is what LLMs are), and are selling it back to us.

Meta, with its "open weights" models, is one of the least guilty parties, since at least they've made the resulting blobs of mass piracy available to us. Same with Mistral, Deepseek, etc.

ClosedAI, Google, and others have all probably done this and more and refuse to make even the model available.

I think the way to deal with this is very simple:

If you have trained your model on works to which you do not have rights or permission, the resulting model is not copyrightable and cannot be sold. It must either be kept for research purposes only or released free of charge and in the public domain. All these models that have been trained on pirated works should become public domain.

Of course now that we have full capture of the US Federal Government I'm sure any suggestion like that would be neutralized with one bribe to Trump.

Just my experience, but I don't futz with the controls when I'm not at a stop. Defrost is the most "complicated" (two taps) action I regularly do, but that's once, and before I start driving.

The risk of the screen is more on the user, IMO. It's not the necessary actions, it's all the fun things you can do, and Tesla doesn't have any of the nanny systems so common in other makes (which I very much appreciate).
SpaceX is making both of them pull out we are in the stupid place of having to depend on Bezos to be cost efficient competition.

China will be launching their reusables (note plural) this year.
TL;DR:

The debugger was updated to use .NET 8 since .NET 6 EOL'ed necessitating a higher GLIBC dep that isn't supported on CentOS 7/RHEL 7, plus they're out of support anyways.
Those medical policies have condemned thousands, possibly millions, to lives of unnecessary pain and suffering. They're more damaging than copyright.
They can merge regardless. The maintainer nacked something they don't even own, they were asked for a review as a courtesy as it wraps their subsystem.

That said there's an outstanding question about whether Linus would accept something that breaks Rust builds for merge. Linus hasn't commented on this yet, but I'm sure he will.
Ah gotcha, so they're not actually paying 0.05 now and they probably won't pay 0.26 in the future?
Positive, yes, but can you point to where he says R4L is here to stay and an integral part of the kernel? He needs to commit, or drama like this will continue to boil over. He also seems content to let the C-only old guard give the R4L guys a hard time. If you only enforce the rules on one side of a conflict, it makes it pretty clear which side you agree with.
Beyond cost vs cost-plus contracts I wonder if part of it might be that the X-37 was designed by qualified engineers at Boeing while Starliner was co-designed with members of the US Congress.

Monte Carlo has a population of 3,500 people and is entirely contiguous with the rest of Monaco-the-city. I'm not sure anyone would consider it a city in itself.

The writing is on the wall for the UK, has been for long, and the Labour government is going out of the way to ensure there can never be any reform, even if they have no mandate. There is one way they want to go, and they will drag their population along kicking and screaming. Anyone who can should get out.
Perhaps they just did, or we are doing it - basically this should lead to abolition of copyright to any published article there is. Not sure how’d it impact open source, we’ll either have all of it open, or none at all.
It's probably better for Boeing to give up its space business and focus on its airplane safety.
Why is RAII bad?
You don't get the advantages of circle if you are constantly dealing with code that is returning raw pointers you have to deallocate. Or APIs where you need to pass in an index which the called function then uses vectors operator []. Safe C++ (from the same guy from what I can tell) only is safe if you used std2 containers, and otherwise rewrite your C++ entirely. Sure the world would be better if we did, but that would cost billions of dollars so it isn't happening. What we need is a way to introduce some safety into code that already exists without spending billions and a lot of time to rewrite it.

AIUI gambling is still pretty much entirely illegal in mainland China, so it pretty much has a captive market of 1.5bn people. Vegas has a much smaller _obligate_ market; gambling's far more (legally) available in the US than in China.

Like, if you like on the American east coast, and enjoy gambling, Vegas may be a place that you'd like to go, but you have other closer options.
The article is purposely conflating the downloading from the seeding statistics. Saying "just 0.008%" the size resulted in big punishments is confusing when Meta is also saying they set their client to be leechers.
First we must prosecute Meta into committing suicide like was done to Aaron Swartz. After justice is served, we should change IP laws.

Your strawmaning MS: pointing out a place where they don’t use their products doesn’t "prove" they don’t use it at all.

Labour have no problem with it, just the same as the Online Safety Act which is causing chaos right now. They're fine with the legislation and have never expressed a desire to see it repealed. They didn't even do much to prevent it in the first place.

This is what the parent comment is getting at when they say "Tory-lite".
Shrug. Within a factor of 3 or so of the City of London. I'm sure there are other examples. Administrative districts are weird.
> No, that does not suggest none exists, it only says they don’t have access to it. They could have chosen or have been ordered to give the keys to the government agency but not keep one themselves.

The whole definition of "end-to-end encrypted" is that only the two ends have the keys. If anyone or anything other than the two ends (the one sending and the one receiving) has access to the keys, it's not end-to-end encrypted.
Not surprised, considering UK's ridiculous key disclosure law (United Kingdom
The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA), Part III, activated by ministerial order in October 2007, requires persons to decrypt information and/or supply keys to government representatives to decrypt information without a court order.)
that makes anyone with high-entropy random data (which is undistinguishable from the crypto-container) a criminal for "not providing the keys to decrypt"

Physicists don't typically think of initial conditions right after the Big Bang in the way you're suggesting.

The typical assumption is that the very early universe was in thermal equilibrium, in which case the set of particles present at any given time depends only on the temperature, and not on initial conditions.
Allowed? UK government can "demand" anything. Anything outside the UK's sovereign control, is necessarily only going to be given by those who have other reasons to do so besides the threat of being arrested by a police force that has no jurisdiction.

The company wants to do business in the UK, it has to follow UK law. UK law claims for itself the right to act globally, and has the power to arrest and fine the companies and officers of Apple that are based in the UK if they don't… but then the Pope claims supremacy over all Catholics* and gets ignored somewhat in this also, and for the same reason:

There are other governments involved, and they don't accept the UK's (/Pope's) jurisdiction exceeds their own.

And in this case, the laws of other nations seem to require Apple to violate this law, so Apple's officers have to decide between which country to risk having arrest their officers, or to leave the UK.

(I have no idea what's going to happen, because the intelligence community in every nation has reasons to want Apple to be forced to do this, so if Apple decides to agree with the UK and violate other nations' privacy laws, those privacy laws may get conveniently ignored).

Tim Cook is a master of negotiating with governments. See how he played off China and the US during Trump's first term to avoid both American tariffs and Nike-style Chinese boycotts.

If he's antagonising Trump it's for a reason. Perhaps to avoid showing weakness by being too keen.
Doesn't it mean you're now dependent on the US (and our particular politics) as well as the middle eastern oil monarchies? Or is the idea to try to source all of the EU energy needs independently?
It's pretty standard for the UK gov to take a "worst of both worlds" approach.
Apple could start with the UK politicians' iCloud backups, I am sure there is a lot of useful compromising information in them. That might cause a change in attitude.
it's not "now", it's 2024 price. "Grid synchronization" doesn't mean, subsidized by Russia, it just meant that Russia provides energy if Estonia didn't produce enough energy, and the other way around (though it likely never happened). It's clear though that Russia was not selling at inland price.
...As opposed to kernel developers? Or even Linus himself 5 years ago?
Original title is too long ("El gobierno de Malvinas bloquea Starlink y amenaza a los isleños con una multa a los que contraten el servicio"), but this one provides the core point.
Successive UK governments consistently fail to understand the UK's place in the modern world. Insisting on access to encrypted data in all jurisdictions globally is just another example of them thinking small and acting big. Its the digital equivalent of sending a gunboat to put-down the troublesome "natives". Meanwhile its 2025, not 1925.

There is a deeper inspiration as well I believe. It seemed to me like the play-within-a-play that drives you mad is exactly what we see happening to the main characters in TD1.
The kernel is doing fine today, but I don't think that's sustainable. The average age of the maintainers seems to be rising, and plenty of skilled people completely avoid kernel development explicitly because of the hostility and, frankly, assholish behavior that comes from the folks on these mailing lists.

Eventually a lot of these people are going to age out, retire, or otherwise move on. I do think there will be a crisis moment at some point in the future.
I haven’t read the entire thread but based on the except I did, while I won’t claim that Hector isn’t entirely in the right there’s also major longstanding issues with the process that the kernel devs seem to refuse to do anything about.

It seems like big enough of a sticking point that if a forked alternative with a less insular contribution model appeared, it could gain enough steam to keep itself afloat. All it’d take is for someone with deep enough pockets to fund a few founding engineers to be the subject of this kind of frustration.
If you, like me, didn't know where the idiom "I've got a bridge to sell you" comes from, here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_C._Parker

I think you're correct about the market skepticism: there simply isn't enough long-term real world data to know how long an electric car's battery (the critical piece) or integrated systems will last.

There's also the issue of rapid technological advancement, like in the smartphone/computer early days. We're still learning about the fundamentals, eg. battery composition, the seller pays for the risk the same dollar gets more (and better) miles.

I'm quite confident ICE will very soon be a niche power source, I will boldly say the tipping point is 2030 :)
