Google post about the name update: https://blog.google/products/maps/united-states-geographic-n...

This legal threat is interesting because in Mexico you should see the name of the gulf unchanged, and only in the US is it exclusively the Gulf of America. So I’m not sure how that would work in court.

But the reality is map providers have to be prepared to conform to local rules and standards all the time.
I wanted the TI-99/4 that was marketed at the beginning of the 80s. As it turned out, I didn't own a computer until buying a Tandy PC-6 pocket computer in the mid-eighties.

Fast forward to buying the later TI-99/4A in the beige case in 2023. Booting it up into the Basic prompt gave me a nice flashback to learning Basic in High School on the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I.

I've also bought its cousin the TI-74 BASICALC. Given hindsight, the TI-74 is my favorite TI-99 for retro computing, even though the similarity is limited to a subset of the TI Basic from the TI-99 family. The TI-74s are rugged and available. It's very useful as a desk calculator.

Thanks for sharing. You seem to have some knowledge of the APT scene. Can you please elaborate on the following points?

- the focus on switches and routers is very pro (did you mean the defenders or the attackers?)

- What kind of knowledge is a starting point to hunt these players? I assume very good Linux system admin skills that can protect the whole system well enough to maybe only allow some obscure entries, and then have enough RE/Red team knowledge to know how to focus on these entries. Does it make sense?

- How do those APTs operate? I'd imagine there are at least 3 groups of people, group 1 = people who make tools, do analysis, RE and such -- they are the support guys; group 2 = people who directly execute the operations -- they don't need very in-depth knowledge but need to a whole range of knowledge to know where to look at and how to best use the tools; group 3 = blue team who protects the whole facility. And of course there are managers, admins, etc.
Gretchen, stop trying to make Elixir happen.
Anecdotal but...

Broke my femur neck on a mountain bike. Surgery, plates and screws. Surgeon said no weight on the broken bone for 8 weeks and no walking on it for 12. And then we'll see he said.

In 4 weeks I was on a trainer (fork fixed to the trainer). Started easy with 30min sessions and then increased time and force applied to the pedals.

After 2 weeks of "riding", started putting weight on the bone with short walks around the house.

8 weeks after the surgery rocked up to a road race, still on crutches because walking was still a bit uncomfy but being on the bike was fine. Raced to a 3rd place (Masters A) with hard breakaways and all.

12 weeks after the surgery go to see the surgeon to check if I can start walking (already walking by this stage as normal). He X-rays me and says your bone is fully healed. Strange but good he said.

I told him the story. Still don't know if he believed me.
Mexico’s claim is that the US doesn’t have claim to the entire body of water. It should technically show Gulf of America at the top where the US border extends to and also show Gulf of Mexico below that.

That said the whole thing is childish and stupid and a distraction from the massive grift being perpetrated on the American people right now.
For this Canadian user, both maps.google.ca and Apple Maps labels the body of water this way:

"Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)"

TBH, that parenthetical label outside jurisdiction or common usage seems like noise.

It's better than Viggle, but Alibaba doesn't release their models like Tencent does.

Waiting for the Tencent version of this. It feels like Tencent releases a new model or two every single week. If they do release an equivalent, everyone will be able to clone Viggle's entire product offering.

Models are becoming commodity faster than ever these days. We had five foundation video models come out last week. I don't know how Runway ML, with their $300M of fundraising, will be able to stay ahead or raise again. They don't have any special magic, and there's nothing spectacular about their product.

I wouldn't want to be a foundation model company these days. China and any third string company release weights openly to gain network effects and salt the earth for foundation model value accretion. Product and brand awareness are all that matters.

Edit: if anyone from Alibaba or Ant Group is reading, can you release your code and weights? Pretty please?

No, you do not have to refill at a station. What a ridiculous thing to even attempt to say.

The whole point of the comment was that you can refill anywhere. In the absolute middle of nowhere. Because "you can carry 100 miles of range in a pail"

You can carry gas any way that you would carry water. You can walk and carry 1-3 gallons of gas and it only weighs a few pounds to get 30-100 miles of range in a modestly inefficient car that only gets 30 mpg, forget a hybrid that gets 50mpg. It takes hundreds of pounds and idk how many cubic feet of battery to give 30-100 miles of range.

As for needing the infrastructure to produce the gas, well, A, you need equivalent infrastructure to create solar panels and copper wire, and B, you can brew various forms of deisel and alcohol from anything that grows with no infrastructure if you really had to. There are various low-tech ways to make electricity too, though you still need at least good wire which will be hard to make in a bathtub, but let's grant the wire just to be generous, so I think the whole "needing a station" is a wash on all points except the fact that there is no electric equivalent of how practical the fuel itself is to handle and transport. The closest might be, if you had extra solar panels, instead of walking however many miles to some other tank, you could sit and wait a day and get about 30 miles from solar in a day, assuming the vehicle is not in shade. .. even when I try to steel-man the other argument, it's still full of caveats for requirements and limitations that gas does not have.

And you don't lose ANY in the transfer while pouring the gas from one tank to another. You lose a lot while using one battery to charge another, or when doing any form of transmission or conversion at all.

And the tools and materials you need to accomplish the transfer are nothing. No exotic cabling to handle crazy amps without overheating, no computers to negotiate and monitor, nothing.

And for all that energy packed into that gas, it's almost as safe as an equal pail of water. It isn't trying desperately to explode itself at all times only held back by undamaged films. You can throw a lit cigarrette right into a pail of gas and it just puts the cigarette out. If you spill the gas and create an area of dangerous fumes that would be easy to ignite, that danger actually dissipates in a few minutes all by itself as the gas evaporates to nothing.

There is no comparison in utility.

The advantages of electric are obvious and can not be denied. But there simply are also serious disadvantages that have not yet found any even remotely reasonable answer.
Agree -- especially if this was a post about something a real person thought of, but edited with AI (the author is in France, so it seems reasonable to use AI for editing; also it's a small blog that has been around for a while and not a content farm).

For some reason I think I would find it less valuable if the idea itself came from an AI, too.
If you read it, you find the reasoning is this:

“Any reference to the ‘Gulf of America’ initiative on your Google Maps platform must be exclusively limited to the marine area under US jurisdiction,” the letter read. “Any extension beyond that zone exceeds the authority of any national government or private entity..."

So the issue is not the renaming per se, but that waters previously known collectively among all countries bordering it as the Gulf of Mexico have been wholly renamed.

The argument seems sound: America has no authority over waters beyond its territories, and its territories end some miles off the US coast. Beyond that border it is only logical for a company to refer to a body of water by the name more commonly accepted internationally.
I guess if you can reply here, you can post here too.
40 bucks feels alright but 200 (five times as much !) feels excessive. How much priority support does one need for a file explorer?

Also yes 200 gives you free upgrades but you have to assume there'll be many years of development and many upgrades to recoup the cost vs buying the regular license.

Most stuff shipped from Taiwan to America goes via Singapore at least physically. It's the big shipping hub in the region.

Why exactly should the harassment of AP and Reuters be important in a way that doesn’t intersect with literally every other attack on the US people from its new administration?

Literally every media outlet in existence pulls news down the wire from AP and Reuters before they apply their shitty editorial stance to it.

Bumfuck News Arizona does not have the scoop on Trump handing Ukraine over to Putin straight from Odessa. But a bunch of mouth breathers in Texas will think he stood his ground there.
It is noise. The whole thing is noise. I've never heard it referred to as the "Gulf of America" before this stupid substanceless news cycle. At first glance I don't suppose it really makes any difference if the entire continent is referred to by the name "America", but changing a name as a nod to a certain group of people is exactly the kind of empty noise I'd expect in the year of our Lord 2025. Time to tune back out.

As a 14 year old I was laughed at by my coworkers for not being able to come up with a name that started with "Y" when reading a service tag to a Dell technician on the phone ("F as in Frank, Y as in... I don't know, the letter Y?"). I learned the NATO phonetic alphabet quickly after to avoid further embarrassment. I probably should have just taken the "Super Troopers" route and said "Yakitori" or something in retrospect.
On that tangent I think the sub fired ones that ride a bubble of air to the surface, pop out and then once they start falling towards the water kick on are pretty neat. I think these are Trident SLBM rockets

Another thing – the surgeon told me I'll need a hip replacement in 10 years' time. This was 16 years ago and I don't feel I need a new hip although it's not perfect the way it works sometimes but nothing even remotely serious.
Alibaba and Ant Group don't release their code and weights, but Tencent sure does. I bet Tencent has one of these waiting in the wings.
With the giant continental shelves it’s not as if it’s separate from the nations bordering it. So what the US calls it is relevant, as is what Mexico calls it, and Cuba, though that might be a side note. As a USian I strongly believe we should be calling it Gulf of Mexico FWIW.
My experience with Eero 6 products was extremely disappointing for reliability. A second deal breaker that management is through app-only.

Specifically because this is a harassment campaign intended to discredit America's highest-quality reporting until only the Rupert Murdoch media is left.
What leverage did he gain exactly?
> TBH, that parenthetical label outside jurisdiction or common usage seems like noise.

More than noise, it feels they are force-feeding the world this "freedom fries" nonsense in a way that normalizes this behavior.

If the US wants to go ahead with this pathetic policy of renaming things as a way to stake a claim, limit this to their geo bounds. Don't let that brand of stupidity leak elsewhere.
Horrible news from stripe. Good luck with that.
I've never used Stripe, but what is the author implying here? That Stripe is leaking keys? That seems like such an outrageous claim.

It's far more likely that the team behind the said product leaked their Stripe prod key, by mistake, or through another leak (internal IT flaw, "secure" chat), than Stripe leaking random keys.

I also imagine that they'd have had multiple audits making sure someone can't simply get added to their account without proper rights.

The author mentions that this has happened a second time "this morning", but does not talk about ditching the key and using a new key? Does stripe not let you manage prod keys?

... [they ignored the fact that] "our API key was never leaked"

Writing it in bold doesn't make it true, nor factual.

I hate to say it, but without any proof and precedent, this reads like user error.

I hope Stripe meets them half-way with some funds recovery options, but it's probably covered by the terms and conditions...
Well, he wouldn't feel the need to distract from positive changes, now, would he?

> Even if Rust is "better," it's much easier to address at least some of C's shortcomings with C++

This simply forgets all the problems C++ has as a kernel language. It's really an "adopt a subset of C++" argument, but even that has its flaws. For instance, no one wants exceptions in the Linux kernel and for good reason, and exceptions are, for better or worse, what C++ provides for error handling.
>If I were at risk of being murdered,

That's called "exigent circumstances", and a lot of rights are normally thrown out the window if that's the case - police don't need a warrant if threat of bodily harm to themselves or others is on the table.

And that isn't what most lying cops do is about - most of the time it is bad for the public.
I broke my collarbone about 30 years ago. Then had it partially rebroken when a friend forgot about my healing bone and greeting me with a shoulder grab from behind. (He felt like shit afterwards). I got the most basic healthcare a free college clinic could offer. Today, you can only tell I ever broke it when I'm shirtless and at my skinniest weight.
At the end of the day sadly the winners will dictate these things. If not, the territories in United States would all have Native American names (and some do, like Massachusetts).
This is not up for debate. It is settled law.
I made a more poker-esque game that doesn't require any dice or other materials, cause my friend and I were waiting in line forever somewhere. You play as a buyer haggling with a seller over some shiny vase. Each player establishes a secret random number*, being the max the buyer will pay (demand) or the min the seller will sell for (supply). Then they haggle, then they win the difference between the agreed-upon price and their secret number. Or, either can kill the deal at any time, and both are penalized based on their secret number**.

It's limited info, random, there are weak or strong starting positions, and you can bluff. Tournament style might be interesting because of the Prisoners' Dilemma. But I gotta say, it's a lot nerdier than this subway game.

* Both think of two numbers 0-50 and only say one aloud. Add the other person's number to your secret one and mod by 50. Then buyer adds 50.

** Seller penalized N, buyer penalized N - 50 iirc.
At this point it's too early to even worry about correctness, it doesn't work yet.

But the years of work put into the existing project to make it robust don't mean the exact same years have to be spent on the reimplementation:

- there's been work spent on discovering the right architecture and evolving the db format. A new impl can copy the end result.

- hard lessons have been learned about dealing with bad disks, filesystems, fsync, flaky locks, etc. A new impl can learn from the solutions without having to rediscover them the hard way.

- C projects spend some time on compatibility with C compilers, OSes, and tweaking build scripts, which are relatively easy in Rust.

Testing will need a clever solution. Maybe they'll buy access to the official test suite?
Maybe they'll use the original SQLite to fuzz and compare results?
> I don’t understand how this refutes physicalism.

Maybe it doesn't and there is a plausible explanation, that's why it has been an unanswered question. But it's definitely an astonishing question.

You instincitively say that even if you duplicate the whole system "you" would remain as "you" (or "I", from your point of view), and the replica would be someone else. In this context you claim that there is a new consciousness now, but there was supposed to be one, because our initial assumption was consciousness == brain.

You are right if you define consciousness as being able to think, but when you define it as what makes you "you", then it becomes harder to explain who the replica is. It has everything (all the neurons) that makes you "you", but it is still not "you".

The above may not make sense as it is difficult for a layman such as me to explain the vertiginous question to someone else. I suggest you to read the relevant literature.
OMG. We truly live in the stupid timeline. How do I get back to the prime timeline from here?
ASUS tried. Zenfone packed flagship camera, display and chip into a compact body, but still sales poorly. So they also gave up last year.
Mexico is trying to compel Google's US-based systems to display a preferred name to US users. This is exactly the same issue AP was protesting, in reverse, with the kicker that Mexico has no sovereignty over the US. So, when Mexico does it no outrage? That's just reserved for the US president?
Well in my case pain was half a bone trying to leave my body. :)

> Political threats over names on Google Maps are nothing new. Google has dealt with this issue over and over worldwide.

Yes, that's why it started showing "Gulf of America".

> Sometimes the solution is to show different names to people in different countries.

The "gulf of America" nonsense is nonsense originating and limited to the US. Allowing this stupidity to leak outside of the US is a problem no one signed up for.

Let's keep the lunacy in the lunatic asylum.
What governing body enforces the naming of that body of water?

I'm fairly certain anyone can call it whatever they want.

If Mexico has a law that it needs to be named the golfo de Mexico then display that to requests coming from Mexico. Otherwise how can Mexico force Americans to call anything anything?
Are they unproductive? How many people are saying that UK and Europe shouldn't build data centers? Is irrationality not to be called out, simply because it's hurts some pre-existing notions of societal, civilisation, or perhaps racial superiority?
That would apply equally well to other bodies of water with disputed names, which have been stylized as e.g. Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf) and Sea of Japan (East Sea) on Google Maps for like, 15 years?

How much outrage have you seen over those names?
I love this story, but not because the teacher had epilepsy! The flashing colors, and ability to draw from the center of the screen to the outer bounds, and showing it happen in real time (since the graphics weren't so fast then) was a huge factor in me getting involved in programming. I started off with Atari BASIC, and my first program of my own was a strobe light, where I could control the speed and generate a random color to display on each "strobe".

Once I saw how fun that was to actually run and show friends (which I think was the big draw for me in the 80's), I created an English to Pig Latin translator, which was more based on an official example, but I remember putting more work into it, including a trigger for certain "bad words" my friends would definitely enter, and giving them a surprise flash and warning. Not sophisticated in any way, just a bunch of IF statements for specific words, then a fall through for anything not matching to be translated.

I used to have a book on experiments using a 6-volt battery, and I got my son one of those 30-in-1 kits, and we had a lot of fun with it. I was more easily able to move from the electronic kit to software with him, having had interest in both, and now he's picked up the software itch.
A long time ago I came up with a dozen or so “camouflage” ringtones designed to blend in. One was just a vibration sound effect. Others just slowly faded in. The idea was if you accidentally left your ringer on it would sound like your phone was silenced.

But it’s so dang hard to install a custom ringtone. I thought someday Apple would provide an api, but nope.
