I was interested in a self published book that was only made available by its author on Kindle. I actually bought a used Kindle solely to remove the DRM from the content I bought from Amazon using this method. Then I could read the content on my preferred reader.

I ended up doing this with a few books. The Kindle ended up getting used by others in the family.

No one is forced to comply with word games from the government in the USA. We actually have a whole amendment about it.
Yup. And "clearly established" has to be very clearly established. Several examples in https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/qualified-immunity-lega...

> Jessop v. City of Fresno: The Ninth Circuit granted immunity to the officers. The court noted that while “the theft” of “personal property by police officers sworn to uphold the law” may be “morally wrong,” the officers could not be sued for the theft because the Ninth Circuit had never issued a decision specifically involving the question of “whether the theft of property covered by the terms of a search warrant, and seized pursuant to that warrant, violates the Fourth Amendment.”

> Corbitt v. Vickers: ... the court went on to say that “[n]o case capable of clearly establishing the law for this case holds that a temporarily seized person—as was [the child] in this case—suffers a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights when an officer shoots at a dog—or any other object—and accidentally hits the person.”

> Kelsay v. Ernst: The majority noted that there were no prior cases involving the “particular circumstances” of this case; that is, no prior cases specifically held that “a deputy was forbidden to use a takedown maneuver to arrest a suspect who ignored the deputy’s instruction to ‘get back here’ and continued to walk away from the officer.”

> Allah v. Milling: The appellate court agreed that the prison guards violated Allah’s rights, specifically holding that this treatment was unlawful punishment because Allah’s treatment “cannot be said to be reasonably related to institutional security, and Defendants have identified no other legitimate governmental purpose justifying the placement.” Nevertheless, the court said the guards were entitled to immunity because there was no prior case concerning the particular disciplinary practice employed by the prison.

It's basically judicial Calvinball. "Oh, established case law says you can't kill an innocent person at 6:35pm, but it's not clearly established you can't kill an innocent person at 6:36pm!"
Funny you should mention SNES carts...the only way I can use a Super Game Boy portably is with a Supaboy, which looks very silly :D

I realize you don't have the resolution needed for such a thing on your project, but it would be interesting to see a full SGB setup via FPGA.
I broadly agree, with two caveats: 1) some of the extra cost is used to buy state of the art treatments and systems, that help drive down their cost in other countries, and 2) it's been just as captured by legislative tug of war over the decades, that cause strange loopholes and constraints.

> it was fixed in cgroups v2

I would say it was changed in cgroups v2.

Cgroups v1 was written by a company where only one process on a machine is allowed to do block I/O, and that program is carefully written to not use kernel caches.

Cgroups v2 was written by a company that uses lots of off-the-shelf Linux applications that do ordinary block I/O in the usual naïve way. That's why v2 focuses so much on "pressure".
Show HN: A Valentine's Day experience for people who aren't celebrating
Hey HN,

I built justanotherday.lol today as a quick, fun project for people who aren't really into Valentine's Day. Just a lighthearted take on what some of us might be doing instead—scrolling Instagram, working late, or convincing ourselves that saving money is self-care.

> which gives the not-so-great precedent that invoking social media was actually more effective at getting some sort of response than the technical debate that he actually said he wants. So now, the status quo is that someone with the power to completely block any progress towards actually including any amount of Rust in the kernel will presumably continue to do so, but Linus still is sticking to the line that we can have "technical debate" about it even though the outcome is predetermined to end in failure.

It's true but sort of assumes that Linus is an automaton, like a corporation: if you threaten with a social media drama, then he'll respond. The problem is that it feels he was forced to respond, and he didn't really like kernel devs being part of the social media drama. So he responded, so in a strange way, he emerged as the calm voice of reason. And it left a long unpleasant memory in the community regarding it.

> it will just cause more frustration in the long run than simply ending acknowledging the reality of the current situation.

Sadly, I think that's what will happen.

> I'd argue that we're basically at the point where that _is_ what the de facto policy is, except without it being actually stated.

It does seem that way, I agree with you, but I think this made it worse as you highlighted already. So it was an uphill road, but now the hill got steeper and taller. Another way this could have played out is Hector wrote a blog post saying "I am having personal issues, I am frustrated, I am stepping down". Let people figure out more details. But getting into a public spat with Linux devs was not productive for his and his team's goals. He hurt his team (Rust + Asahi) more than he helped in the end.
I love the picture of Melon and his kid in the Oval Office - Dump looked like a minority shareholder at his own party!
cnbc the other day had the reporters warning how deep seek can download all the data in your phone and send it to china and you should remove the app immediately. It froze my brain for a good minute.
I swear like a your-favorite-stereotype. When my kid was maybe 4, I told her "I don't care if you talk like I do, but people will give you trouble for it". Probably with more detail than that; it's been years now.

She fully understood the point, right then. She also had no problem with other advice about how people would react to whatever.

She's 17 now. I actually don't think I've ever heard her utter a "swear word".

Kids, in general, have no problem with the idea of social context.

I work on this problem at one of the world’s largest social media companies. I deal with it 7 days a week for several years now. This is my life and it’s extremely sad as to how people are being exploited in these scams.
Last time Germans put a National in front of an organization it did not go so well.

Similar with Reich but surprisingly there are still a couple of things starting with Reich, like the Parliament building is still called Reichstag even if there is no Reich no more.

Americans use National mostly when things are uncontroversially national and international. For mostly national and controversially international things they prefer World, like World Series, WCW, WFL.
"inject" is the wrong word too.
They aren't modifying links or linked pages.

It's a free service that displays ads before showing free content. Like most other free services.

Flagged the misleading title.
Fascinating! Well if y'all haven't already, it would be great if you could publish a study of your findings; what you're describing is basically the exact opposite of what I expected based on other reporting.
wrong link or maybe clickbait ?
that is indeed the email they sent out and it definitely suggests all links will get interstitial junk.
> But the American people literally voted that they hate you, and you have to live with that.

No, the American people voted for 156 million+ individual reasons, to include inflation, the economy, and all the other kitchen-table reasons one votes. To be sure, some subset of them are hateful people. But come on.
sad but it makes sense, nothing is free.

when a service is free or too cheap to be economically viable, they’re just trying to get a huge userbase, get rid of the competition and then when they’re a monopoly or almost one they raise prices or do something to become profitable.

of course there’s exceptions like with mom and pop ventures but big companies will get ‘sponsored’ (invested in) by already very rich venture capitals or oil rich countries like the UAE and in return for a big stake in the company they get a certain amount of money to ‘blow’ on getting new users.

Legislation was tightened after the S & L crisis and at least according to Investopedia was the itself was due in part to lax oversight:

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sl-crisis.asp

*What Could Regulators Have Done Better to Solve the Savings and Loan Crisis?*

"Regulators failed to stop savings and loans from using federally insured deposits to make risky loans. Reagan also cut the budget of the regulatory staff at the FHLBB, removing its ability to investigate high-risk loans. Certain states also passed laws that allowed savings and loans to invest in speculative real estate."

Remains to be see if the current administration's views on oversight and regulation allow a repeat.
Great time to stop using URL shorteners.
A system is kind of like an unthinking lifeform. It will adapt to find ways to make itself stronger and to grow. It will use whatever resources it has access to to and does not care about (or is even conscious of) the damage it does in the process. All systems are like a virus in this way. Social media as a system is just playing this out. The social media system feeds on engagement and use and, it turns out, that isolation and polarization lead to more social media engagement. So it adapts itself to make more that, the users well-being is irrelevant. Corporate bureaucracy, capitalism, religion even are similar. They may have been created for some purpose (that was useful for the people who created it), but once they reach a certain scale, that purpose inevitably shifts to simple self-perpetuation.

Another example is a charity formed to help with some problem which it initially does well at. But then over time the charity matures and more and more of its funds are devoted to keeping the charity running, paying salaries, renting office space, paying for trips, organizing fund-raising events. Less goes to the cause. The primary purpose of all the fundraising then becomes to cover the overhead of doing all the fundraising. The cause is a second order consideration at best.

Social media has matured from being about connection, information exchange, community building. Now its just to keeping the clicks and comments coming so the ad-revenue and data-mining can be used to cover the cost of the servers, developers, and executive bonuses.
This is truly terrible.

What happened to a new JS front end library every week?

If this keeps up, we won't get to completely throw away all of our old code and retool every two years (the way we've been operating for the last 20 years)

How will we ever spend 85% of our time spinning up on new js front end libraries?

And don't even get me started on the back end.

If AI had been around in 2010, we probably still have some people writing apps in Rails.

OMG what a disaster that would be.

It's a good thing we just completely threw away all of the work that went into all of those gems. If people had continued using them, we wouldn't have had the chance to completely rewrite all of them in node and python from scratch.
A great and underappreciated point. I think at the time the important thing to understand was the inaccuracy of the story itself, on its face value and how it steamrolled over objections from the national security state at least at it had existed before the Bush admin.

I think retrospectively however, the important thing to understand is how that example is cynically leveraged in the present environment of misinformation. And how it emerged in the first place, as part of an administration attempting to steamroll over existing institutional guard rails intended to keep us in touch with reality.

Perhaps, but then what? Why not just say "we should educate everybody about this problem"? Why does it add something to point out that men are more victims?
There is a classic Dave Chapelle bit where his friend gets pulled over for driving recklessly. After being confronted he says to the cop, "I'm sorry officer, I didn't know I couldn't do that." The officer, to Dave's shock, replies, "Well now you know! Get outta here!". Then Dave's friend turns to him and says, "That was good, wasn't it? Because I did know I couldn't do that!"

Seems like your battle is more about the work environment they are providing you in the office then WFH vs RTO. Still an uphill battle, it’s not like they are asking you to work in a dangerous and dirty factory for 8+ hours on your feet.

People need to get over the “long commutes” complaint, that is not your employers problem unless they just can’t find workers due to their physical location. If they can find suitable local employees without a long commute, your long commute is a “your” problem to solve vs. employer problem to solve.
I have a terabypte of MP3's that I've collected.

I have no problems listening to them on my iPhone, Mac and Amazon devices using Apple's "iTunes Match", a bargain (to me) at 25€/year.

Literally the only limit I've found is that the Echo will play a playlist of my MP3's, but can't find them by name. Not a big deal.

I have read that it works fine without an Apple Music subscription but have not personally tried it.
I like openSUSE, but the predictability is dirt poor (which is why I don't use it for servers...or anything else).

About two years ago, LEAP was supposed to be canned for this new shiny thing, since then...nothing. So, dear openSUSE, should I install openSUSE Leap? Wait for the "new" thing, is this "new" thing also free or what? Or you know what? I have a better idea...I just install Debian or FreeBSD (community based, no endless reselling, no corporate overlord, clear messaging).
Native Americans, specifically the Navajo, have been questioned by agents, but there have been no mass persecution or arrests of Native Americans. That was a rumor spread on social media without any provenance.

I cannot emphasize enough how huge of a story it would be if the United States government was legitimately rounding up Native Americans. Given existing racial tensions and historical controversy, that would on the front pages for days on end. It would be as juicy a story as the German feds mass arresting Jews.

This is how QI cases work nowadays. The problem is that you only need a teeny tiny difference in facts for the prior situation to not count and for QI to be granted. "Oh, we've only found that shooting a kid within state borders is a violation of rights and this time the cop shot a kid across state borders so they clearly can't be expected to know that this is a violation of rights: QI granted."

The net effect is that it is remarkably difficult to sue cops who violate your rights since there is almost always going to be some minor factual thing that makes your case "unique".
Is that really the right statistic? Seems like the relevant one would be the number of maintainers whose maintenance work is company-funded. (Ex, I'd imagine it would be quite bad if most contributions were from company-funded developers but had to be upstreamed by non-company-funded volunteers.)

I'm not sure about that. At least in my experience there are two types of creationists. The ones who have integrated a non-belief of evolution into a core component of their religious beliefs. This type isn't going to listen to any argument for evolution so I don't know why time should be spent making arguments for them.

The other flavor are the ones saying "wait a second microbiology is really complex, I'm not sure the standard evolutionary process cuts it here."

Saying, "well let's just assume microbiology isn't a problem", isn't going to be compelling to them.

It is an interesting endeavor, but with respect to the whole creationism vs evolution discourse it feels like a complete waste of time.

I agree completely. When I saw the writing on the wall for me at Amazon around May 2023 and a former coworker told me I would be crazy to quit then even if I did have another job lined up and miss out on a vesting period and I should wait for the “try to work through the PIP Or ‘leave immediately’ and get almost 4 months pay”.

I played the game waiting for the PIP offer.

For those who don’t know, once you get a PIP from Amazon you can try to work through it or take the severance offer immediately. If you fail the PIP (and you will) you get 1/3 of the original amount. If you appeal the failure and lose (you will) you get 1/3 of the 1/2.
