This is indeed worth noting.

Bloomberg seems to be a player in the market, or at least it is affected by players in the market.

It always publishes news in good rhythm with the market.

this article is just a reference, still need to wait for Microsoft's announcement
Then why even have speed limits if you don't want to enforce them?
> Maybe you can grow it to 30% of GDP if you start doing a bunch of bad stuff, but if it can be replaced by open source local stuff-- if it's possible to simply kill facebook, Microsoft etc. and replace them with Linux together with a couple of not incredibly expensive software packages developed to provide a substitute, then why should we have a big-software economy?

People have been saying this for twenty or thirty years, and in the meantime the economy has coalesced further into fewer American megacorps. It's a mirage. Things do not work that way.

(AI is going to be exactly the same: the huge corporate valuations are predicated on there being exactly one big AI company which takes a significant chunk of value from all word-based work being done today)
I suspect that LaLiga lawyers and lawyer-techs aren't perhaps the most technical so when they learned to figure out IP's they made it their go-to way of working without even considering that they might need to contact CF (or Github that also seems blocked in Spain).

Finding abuse contacts is actually a M:N problem for the entire industry since we skimped on IPv6 (Had we gone to IPv6 providers like CF could've just assigned customers their own IP's and third-party fallout would've been minimal).
Completely agree with you re: Bloomberg's somewhat shady history of reporting. However, in this case, the article is citing a research note written by TD Cowen equity research analysts.

For example, here's another article from MarketWatch citing this same research note -- https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-research-note-thats-ra...

Leads me to lend more credence to the news even though OP is linking Bloomberg.
You are right, but the issue here is slightly more nuanced. The CIV AI is just plain atrocious at playing the game. It's not about having a personality, it's that the developers add game mechanics that the AI is fundamentally incapable of dealing with. To give you an example, CIV 5 introduced the concept of 1 unit per tile - it used to be that you could stack as many units as you wanted into one tile before. Neat idea, right? Terrain and unit placement suddenly mattered!

But there was a significant issue with this: the AI was terrible at moving units and armies. It'd get confused by the smallest congestion. The AI would build a large army, and then be incapable of moving it anywhere.

The AI can still have personality and roleyplay instead of attempting to win, and yet be a competent strategist and tactician.
You can disable that but changing the domain matching algorithm (or whatever it's called, it's not difficult to find). By default it matches to domain.tld, but you can request the exact match.

The usual value of equity is the cash it can generate. This is a wordy way of saying:

1) that some businesses will be profitable short term, and some in the long term and it can be worth sacrificing one for the other as you end up with a more valuable business, and,
2) sometimes you sell a business for a lot more than its value as a standalone business, for various reasons - for example it lets a big business fill in a gap in their product line, or remove a potential future competitor, or remove a low cost alternative to their existing services/products, or help them sell more of something related, or gather more data..... or are just irrational at times.

The phenomenon in two is common in technology businesses, but is not common elsewhere. its most common during bubbles.
If your battery charges faster and has a higher range then you will need less charging points ( less time charging and less frequently ) - just through better batteries.

Solid state battery tech looks to be game changing.... pushing EV's into the no-brainer territory for the vast majority of people.
I can confirm it also goes the other way. Posted a remote job where we needed applicant to be only one or two time zones away from UTC and 80% of the 500+ applicants in the first 24 hours were from the US. I guess it makes sense as the cost for ignoring the clear notice in the job description regarding location is borne by the hiring side, but very annoying.

Sounds like an insurance driven decision.
key piece of info at the end, looks like they are leaving the spending on datacenter to OpenAI

> Microsoft’s alliance with OpenAI may also be evolving in ways that mean the software giant won’t need the same kind of investments. In January, OpenAI and SoftBank Group Corp. announced a joint venture to spend at least $100 billion and perhaps $500 billion on data centers and other AI infrastructure.
> France used constitutional processes for the Lisbon Treaty - or should we never adapt treaties as circumstances change?

The answer was no, and then it was overridden without consultation. The people had spoken and were ignored.

> Chat Control is being debated, modified, opposed - that's democracy in action. Try publicly opposing surveillance laws in China.

The fact that Chat Control is on the table at all is the problem. You can't claim you want to protect privacy and democracy and demand access without cause to all your citizens data.

The fact that "liberal" countries are willing to debate if we should end all privacy for every citizen is not the greatest definition of democracy. Should we also have a debate about bringing back slavery as well or maybe talk about installing cameras in every home in the EU? Where does this stop?

> Refusing to coalition with anti-democratic parties IS protecting democracy. Just like we don't let parties run on platforms of abolishing elections.

The fact that you refer to right wing parties as anti-democratic parties when people have voted for them fair and square is very telling in terms of your biases. Anything we do not agree with is anti-democratic , anything we support is pro democracy. How convenient!

> Democracy isn't just counting votes - it's sustaining a system where we can keep voting freely. That's why we have guardrails.

Exactly and ignoring the votes of your constituents because you don't like how people vote is exactly what's killing democracy and why a lot of people are turning away from the mainstream parties. Instead of listening and trying to find solutions which means finding compromises, it's much simpler to label everyone you disagree with as anti democratic and label the voters as extremists.

> Or would you prefer we just have one final vote to end all voting?

I am not sure where this suggestion comes from.

HK was a special case of being an intermediary port city. Same with Singapore. The European equivalents are Luxembourg and Monaco.
Right, so we agree that a product being successful has little to do with being better or worse than competitors and more with other externalities?
Sadly, the similarity is there. Hsieh and Musk were both quite happy nerds and then they became very rich very quickly and drifted off into drugs. Both are/were really into Ketamines and openly talked about it. Both are/were strunggling with depression. Both had friends warn them that they are on a bad path. Let's hope Musk will manage to stop the drugs before they stop him.
I'd emphasize that it's a problem with your particular code base. If you set it up correctly, all dates are properly parsed at the boundaries and you would only deal with one type of date inside your app. I'm working on a large Clojure app with a lot of date handling and never had any issues. For me, a date is always juxt/tick date.
>The typical formula is: if you aren't confident that you are complying with the law, maybe don't operate a business that way. Welcome to compliance!

And the result is that they get exactly what they asked for: people not operating businesses that they otherwise would have, because of onerous, burdensome, complex, bureaucratic and uncertain rules.

Any business can "violate privacy" because the EU has made up a definition of "privacy" that is totally absurd. It created from thin air (with no public debate) the idea that information about you belongs to you. I say that is rubbish.

Privacy used to have a clear and narrow meaning. It meant freedom from interference with your things. It meant the state could not break into your house, set up cameras or microphones, snoop on your documents, read your mail, or listen to your phone conversations.

Somehow we have a world where we are under constant CCTV surveillance by the state (Britain is the worst for this but other states aren't far behind, and are all very bad) and that is supposed to be fine. But if you contact someone's previous employer to ask your opinion of the employee, without the employee's permissions, you have "violated their privacy". This is because a "privacy principle" is that if you "collect" "personal information" about someone, you should collect it from them, directly, except with their permission.

Nobody understood "privacy" to mean you couldn't do casual reference checks until 5 minutes ago. Now it is supposedly a fundamental human right!

Even if you were confident you were within the bounds of privacy law when you started your business, by the time you get off the ground and start making money they'll have expanded the definition of "privacy" to encompass something new. It is completely reasonable for people to choose not to bother with all this crap, IMO.

The fundamental thing behind this is revealed by your comment, actually:

>And there does seem to be support for the EU regulating in that manner. I haven't met many people who are pro-privacy-violations.

Exactly! The word "privacy" has strong cultural power. If you can put your pet concept into that category by stretching then idea to breaking point, people will support it by accident. People care about "privacy" because they care about privacy (the real, coherent, original concept). They mostly don't even realise how much the term has been twisted and changed over the last 10 or so years. If they did, they either would change it back or they'd stop caring about the term. Because, remember, words are just labels. In the long term, this language twisting shit doesn't work. In the short term, though, you can trick people into supporting things by calling them "privacy" or "human rights" or "equity" even though those terms didn't mean, even 10 or 20 years ago, anything like what they supposedly mean today.
I suspect the absolute pressure required to crush a hair would be measured in MPa, orders of magnitude more than the pressure difference from a sound level that would kill you. The damage probably comes from the vibration ripping apart nerves cells at the base of the hair, but again that’s speculation on my part. So no vibration, no damage.
You think republican ideas are "greatly respected" in the USA? And tell me not to underestimate history? ... I think we have been reading very different history books.

Are you familiar with Nicaragua's history? Iran's? Italy, Guatemala, Congo? Chile, Argentina, El Salvador? Brazil, Honduras, Haiti? Bolivia? ...

Internally, are you familiar with the history of gerrymandering? Voter suppression? Disinformation campaigns? The fight against campaign finance reform, or against winner takes all voting? Ballot access laws? Legislative and judicial manipulation against third parties and progressive candidates? Debate exclusion across corporate media, unchallenged smears, media blackouts, expensive lawsuits...
I'm taking about extracting value from consumers. Capitalism/communism is a straw man here. It's the attitudes that motivate product development.
Really? There are these things called books, that people could use for all kinds of good or bad purposes, and these other things called search engines, which often let people easily find the content of said books (and other sources of information) which let you answer supposedly "dangerous" questions like your example with pretty minor effort.

Should we all really be subject to some bland culture of corporate-controlled inoffensiveness and arbitrary "danger" taboos because of hypothetical, usually invented fears about so-called harmful information.

This is fear-mongering of the most idiotic kind, now normalized by blatantly childish (if you're an ignorant politician or media source) or self-serving (if you're one of the major corporate players) claims about AI safety.
> One of the most basic things you do when doing a security clearance is checking that you don't have any bad things in your closet.

I knew a guy years ago who was going for a security clearance. And he was really worried about them asking about illegal drug use, and he told them the truth about his extensive past history of it. And then they told him they weren’t worried about it because the fact he’d been honest about it meant there was low risk of him being blackmailed over it, so they gave him his security clearance. (Not the US, Australia, maybe the rules are different here.)
> Add some racism into this mix, and guess who will get hurt the hardest? This didn't just happen in America.

It also happened in Greenland [1], Israel [2] (against Ethiopian Jews, the effect of this has been called into question [3]) or in Russia [4].

Cloudflare absolutely is in a position to take down domains they're hosting on those IPs while keeping other domains sharing the same IP up.

I think that's probably what they'll be doing in the end, so it's interesting to observe that they haven't done so already. Do they maybe have at least an internal domain reputation system so that long-time customers mostly share IPs with other long-time customers and are less likely to get caught in the crossfire?
A cross-platform, cross-provider, IMAP client.

Started building this with a friend, as I was personally frustrated at the lack of good options when it comes to "true IMAP" email clients.

Author here — thank you! You're absolutely right, and I've corrected it!
It is CloudFlare that should be shutting down websites to comply with the law. If they did that, LaLiga wouldn't need to resort to a bigger hammer.

Needless to say, companies should comply with the law of the place where they do business in.
Yes, if you take one point in isolation without the rest of the context it's easy to dismiss it.
If you store your second factor on the same device where you login, there's really no need for an app (or a second factor for that matter), because if your device is compromised, you're screwed anyway. You might as well store a list of one time auth passwords on a piece of paper that you keep near your PC. In fact that way someone would have to compromise you physically and digitally, which may be more difficult. If you keep the paper on your person at all times, it will actually be pretty secure. If you use some encryption scheme for the text on top of that, you're already pretty much there. But that's complex, so people came up with hardware keys that you always keep on your person and that are not used for anything else. They are kind of the ultimate thing to deploy on scale, but still a lot of hassle for users. The next best thing is using an app on your phone. It's considerably more dangerous, but still much better than storing everything on your computer.
LLMs coding performance is directly proportional to amount of stolen data for the learning process. That's why frontend folks are swearing by it and are forecasting our new god dominance in just a few years. That's because frontend code is literally out there mostly, just take it and compile into a dataset. Stuff like SQL DBs is not laying on every internet corner and is probably very underrepresented in the dataset, producing inferior performance. Same with rare or systems languages, like Rust for example, LLMs are also very bad with it.
That's great to hear! It's always a gamble with new meds, so getting life-changing results without side effects is a huge win
The first one, they were acquiring datacenter space.
US vs. EU building materials is actually locally determined - there's a lot more forest in the vast empty spaces of the US and Canada, hence all the cheap wood.

Same for oil. Same for e.g. the UK steel industry. I think people underestimate the extent to which the EU either doesn't have the same level of natural resources, or has used them up. There's a reason the last time that Germany got serious about resource independence it tried to invade Azerbaijan despite the USSR being in the way.
So I tried "folk", and it comes up with the translation for "people" in Dutch and German, "folkoric" in French, "popular" in Italian, "folk music" in Danish, and fails for a whole bunch of languages. And it's these kind of words for which its use is most interesting. Words like "linguistics" have a much greater similarity across languages than common, old words (although surprisingly called glossologia in Greek).
> Profitable and valuable are synonymous.

So your police, firefighters, the military, health services (not in the US though) and various charities are not valuable? That is an interesting take.
Please reflect for a moment about why you believe a fictional TV character who works for the Oil and Gas industry would have accurate information to how Wind energy works in real life.

Do you have a source that backs up that information that does not come from a fictional character who has a vested interest in promoting oil and gas?
I'm curious how the NVRAM is actually stored. In embedded systems on microcontrollers the constraints of the HW make you do what we called "Emulated EEPROM". You are able to erase data in increments of, for example 4kb and write it in increments of 16 bytes (but it varies with implementation). So on write you just say... this is block foo and it stores value bar and you append it to the latest not written data in the block. When you recover data, you just look for the latest valid value of foo and say "the value of foo is bar". You might have multiple instances of foo written, but only the latest is the valid one. Once the active block is full, you swap out all the current values of all the NvM blocks to the next erasable HW block.

Yes, this achieves atomicity, yes this gets you wear leveling (with the caveat that the more data you store, the worse the lifetime gets because you need to do more swaps) but it also is a consequence of HW constraints and the approach flows directly from it. It might be the consequence of HW/SW co-design at some point in the past as well, but I have no idea whether this is true.

Working on my strength, hitting the gym 5days a week and doing only calisthenics with the weights, currently doing pull-ups and dips with 30kg
I don’t fucking know if they would, leave me the fuck alone.
Portable pumps used by fire fighters can deliver up to 2 m³/min at 10 bar weighing somewhere in the range of 150-200 kg. With five of those you could load 100 tons in 10 minutes which seems quick enough to me but I have no idea how quick one has to be, I am just comparing to the time scale I would assume dropping off the cargo would take. And I would just place the pumps on the airship and lower them to the ground, maybe together with the cargo. And for tanks, 100 m³ are five of the larger above ground pools worth of water weighing about 100 kg a piece. Or look at those water inflated flood barriers. You could probably carry 100 m³ worth of water storage into the middle of nowhere without too much trouble in a bunch of back bags if you really had to. What you still need is a water source. If you only have a normal tap, it will take a hand full of days to fill 100 m³, but completely feasible. Or a diesel generator, a small pump, and enough hoses to reach a nearby lake or stream. Nothing you could not deliver with a helicopter. But what actually is the imagined use case here, under what circumstances would you want to drop off some heavy and probably expensive equipment in the inaccessible middle of nowhere? As soon as you can get there with (off-road) vehicles, it seems pretty simple to get the necessary materials there.
Not to mention in Germany the quarterly/or even monthly tax accountant fees that could bleed into a couple thousand easily in the first year of operation.

I'd say in Germany for starting a new GmbH you'd need at least 4-5k set on the side for lawyer/notary/accountant fees, this can be deducted from the 12.5k/25k bank account but it's a pain in the ... for the average startup.
It's not blocking hundereds of services, it's blocking one, cloudflare. A service that routinely is used to share copyright material.
Seconding that anything this big should be nationalized. That said, the internet still worked before cloudflare. The threat of a banned troll DDoSing your forum has been a risk for 30 years, yet the flourishing golden age of forums was before anyone had heard of cloudflare.

Add in their centralized panopticon of mass decrypted traffic and it becomes undeniable CF is an enormous net negative to the internet and society at large.
Absolutely. A simple "This helped me, thanks!" can mean a lot to someone putting effort into sharing knowledge.

The instructions to exclude Trump and Musk surely just slipped in…
I unfortunately write a bit of both xml and json as part of my day to day. JSON is significantly easier to read and write as a human. So many xml files use a combination of the file structure, the nodes and the attributes to encode their data - meaning to parse it you need to know the specifics of how it was written. JSON is much simpler and 95% of the time can be thought of as map<string, JsonObject> and it just works.

Yml goes too far in the brevity side - I find the 2 space indent, use of “-“ as a list delimiter, white space sensitivity and confusing behaviour with quoted vs unquoted strings incredibly hard to work with.
Do you have a constructive point to make? Unless you don't expect weaponized robots to ever be constructed, I can't see how this isn't an obvious conclusion
In a recent Dwarkesh podcast this week Nadella was just commenting on how they expected to benefit from reduced DC rental pricing and were preparing for Jevon's paradox to max out capacity. I guess they are calculating a ceiling now.
