NATO was created to counter the Soviet Union but after the USSR fell apart, NATO did not disband. Instead Europeans hired the USA for their defense. The USA enjoyed the status and power of being the dominant military force in Europe.

Unfortunately "entangling alliances" such as NATO tend to draw us into remote conflicts where we have nothing to gain:

I think the problem might be that it's difficult to perform experiments in economics due to the size of the thing being measured and the fact that the people making up the economy generally aren't going to be alright with you performing experiments on them.
Not sure about plenty; I've been using Firefox for years now and not encountered any real issues like that.

Each to their own, I just disagree that Firefox isn't a real alternative in the same way Linux is to windows.
> Pretty much any empire ever founded was built on a gold standard

...because they didn't have the social and technological methods, as well as centralization of force, needed to make a fiat currency work.

The gold standard was never a great idea. It was just more functional and efficient than what came before it because the gold supply was usually inherently limited by how fast the mines could produce the stuff.
Brave is definitely not a 'tier 1' browser in any world. Their whole existence had been mired in controversy after controversy[1], lots of these incidents involving privacy and general shady behavior.

Arc is kind of promising, but I never really tried it after discovering that it's the only browser I've ever seen that requires (!) you to have an account with them. The obvious next question is 'what for?'

Geothermal heat pumps can work great in retrofitting old system with a water heater. My family house is over 100 year old and the original water heater used coal in 1920, then it was changed to electrical around 1980s, and is now fitted with geothermal heat pumps. Geothermal was installed as a cost saving measure and cut down the heating bill by more than half. All the old cast iron radiators are still the original ones.
We won't have much choice, last year yahoo implemented a limit on COPY so you couldn't move or delete more than 10 mails at once. this broke claws-mail, I think its good now but I still moved on to another "free" service.

Mixing email with the drive service in the account is actively hostile.
Last time we changed ours (recently, maybe a few months) it gave us a message saying we were using untrusted ink and it now prints a black line down one side of the page. First time I’ve had any issues in years. TBH my first reaction was that it was some kind of intentional effort to degrade the experience.
I have very high hopes for Ladybird as it's being developed, but it's not really fair to call it Tier 1 when it's pre-alpha stage and not really suitable for general use yet...
Doesn’t really work that way
>India (Anywhere)

You mean remote anywhere in India? I don't assume Tech Mahindra to have offices everywhere in India

Also, what's the compensation like?
I can give you a real answer: about USD$0.20/kWh.

We are off grid, just purchased solar + batteries that will supply all power needs, including running aircon and hot water at night. That's the purchase price, amortised over 10 years assuming our current daily usage.

The reality is our anticipated power usage will go up with electric cars and the system is speced to cope, and parts will last over twice the 10 years.

I suspect your question was purely retorical. You weren't fishing for an answer is effectively "cheaper than I can buy electricity from the local coal fired utility", but that is the reality. Nuclear costs about twice that.

Notice I'm paying retail. If you are going to compare wholesale prices to the $0.20 you typically have to multiply them by 3.
What remains unclear is why anyone who cares enough about their privacy to use LibreWolf would still be on Windows in the first place. Microsoft is easily ten thousand times worse than Mozilla.
What seems ridiculous about it? Aggressive expansion of presidential power. A compliant judiciary that just handed the president immunity while in office. Constant comments about not having elections 'next time around'. Erosion of first amendment rights. Concentrated media ownership. Constant outright lies while in office.

He is giving many good reasons to be anxious or concerned. Are these normal behaviors? Is his conduct likely to weaken our institutions, rather then strengthen them?
Not to spoil the reveal here, but ... yes. We're working on compiling more of these cases and will probably publish a website or paper when it's solid.
It is criminal that you can’t see different angles for these beautiful cars! 507 with no front view? I need to see the evolution of those kidneys!

Um, no. Debugging a macro in Lisp is a terrible experience while debugging a comptime function in Zig is brain dead simple.

Zig is the first "macro" system I've used that doesn't want to make me blow my brains out when I need to debug it.
AFAIK, it does have automatic updates if you install it from Microsoft Store.

It’s not the language to blame in SICP, if any. Scheme is totally find (and cool).
They are referring to the start date (2021), language (Go) and feature set (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, DANE and DNSSEC etc) rather than the design. Presumably you could use it for email delivery and skip the web mail piece altogether.

How does this relate to the prior claim?

It’s clearly possible for people to have ulterior goals and motives… so assessments based on outward usages, of anything, seem irrelevant to determining intelligence, or the lack of it.
Wow... having just gone through a 20+ hour byzantine nightmare of setting up postfix & dovecot (that's on top of an already deep understanding of SMTP, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, SASL, etc.) and now struggling through an even more kafkaesque nightmare of rspamd (with its 3 different programming languages needed to understand its 92+ configuration files, which you can't modify by the way, you have to add your own "override" and "merge" config files on top of that mess) for the simple purpose of getting it to DKIM-sign my stupid outgoing messages the way all the big mail systems want... I wish I had seen mox earlier!

Not sure its quality, but battling with postfix & dovecot's 20+ years of legacy cruft, I felt compelled many times to just throw them aside and build something like this on first principles - simple single binary mail server with modern protocol support, sans all the archaic UNIX-account timesharing-era sendmail bullshit that still lives on in the mainstays.

Going to have a look at this one, despite now having moderately deep postfix & dovecot knowledge.
Will they though? I don't think they will for 2 reasons:

1. Ad blocking on Safari has worked like this for years and none of the major ad networks have chosen to act on that fact.

2. It has always been possible for ads to work around UBO in various ways but no major ad network has even tried (e.g. server-side embedding of randomly obfuscated JS).
Interesting. I've been slowly coming to the conclusion that the way forward with machine learning is actually less "machine learning" as we've grown accustomed with it, less pretraining, less data, less search, more direct representation, symbolic processing, more constraint-satisfaction, meta-learning etc. All those things we need less of (pretraining, data, etc) are messy, brute force, and contingent. Working with them, you'll always be dependent on the quality of your data, which is fine if you want to data-mine, but not fine if you want to model the underlying causes of the data.

From my (admittedly sketchy, rushed) understanding of what they're doing, they're essentially trying to uncover the minimal representation of the solution/problem space. Through their tracking of the actual structure of the problem through equivariences, they're actually deriving something like the actual underlying representation of the puzzle and how to solve them, rather than hoping to pick up on this from many solved examples.
Animated gifs are probably not an issue anymore. In the case of the equalizer icon, the OP used CSS animations that made the browser work in a very non-optimal way. Same thing probably applies to the animated emojis.
Democracy isn't created by intentions or "commitment," but rather the culture of the people, their attitudes, and mental processes. An Iowan born in Iowa to Iowan parents who were born to Iowan parents is steeped from birth in a culture that is very different from someone born in India or China--or even the American-born children of Indians and Chinese immigrants.

Immigrants may become legally American overnight, but they don't become culturally American overnight. Cultural attitudes are extrmely durable (https://www.sup.org/books/economics-and-finance/culture-tran...). My mom has lived here for 36 years, and she's still a low-social-trust south asian who has distinctly south asian views on credentialism, education, social hierarchy, etc. Are those attitudes compatible with the kind of egalitarian, self-governed democracy Alexis de Tocqueville wrote about? I am skeptical that's true at scale.

Even having grown up here, my cultural attitudes are very different--and again, distinctly south asian--compared to my wife's (whose family has been here since the early 1700s). If you took 1,000 people like my wife and put them on an island, you'd recreate America--including the parts of America I find perplexing and frustrating. I'm not persuaded that if you took 1,000 people like me and put them on an island you'd recreate America.
So true.

Perl with list comprehensions do look a bit like line noise...

... but not really worse than most other languages there.

By contrast, its "higher order functions" are useful but relatively speaking, read like someone shook a box of leftover syntax all over them.

Even though C# has a seizure in the middle, Perl still seems the clunkiest.
> Professional as in paid tools, not desktop publishing businesses.

What I’m calling “professional” tools (so not Publisher) aren’t only used by desktop publishing businesses. Only time I’ve ever been professionally involved in desktop publishing, was when I worked for a university - they used QuarkXpress for official university publications, such as the annual course catalog. I wrote a web-based database to store the course catalog (somewhat unusual tech stack of Apache+PHP on Solaris SPARC talking to MSSQL on Windows - we had our reasons) - staff would use its admin interface to CRUD course descriptions, which would then be published to the university website in HTML, and exported to QuarkXpress for printed publication. Originally I tried exporting it as XML but found QuarkXpress XML import feature too buggy, had much more success generating Quark’s proprietary XTG (aka XPress Tags) format (which looks a bit like HTML/XML/SGML but isn’t any of them)

You can just install Firefox

You can just install Firefox.

Others have workflows that may take weeks to migrate from chrom{e,ium-based} and something will be lost in transition anyway. I spent at least a few days, preemptively in 2024, to fully migrate to Firefox from Vivaldi. I haven’t had lower blood sugar levels in a decade. And when the dust over new privacy statement settles, maybe I’ll need to figure out ways to LibreWolf now.

It’s not as easy as “just install” if you are at advanced user/developer level.
The article does a good chunk of fear mongering, so it's hard to take the stats at face value.

I want to know more details about that US vs China trade map. I've seen it before, and first off, it's not "primary trading partners" as the author said, it's the larger of the two. Like a country that trades 95% with its neighbors, 3% with China, 2% with US is red on that map. And idk if this is $ value traded in either direction or what.
That's insane, nice work!

I know quite a few people who would buy if you ever produced even 10 of them. Part 2 having charging magnets would seem good. Me personally, I don't have 2 usb-c ports lying around that aren't already used :P

Not everyone with a brain just wants more money. Some want to do interesting research that doesn't have a short term commercialisation strategy.

Yes, doing the reading is good. In fact, I recommend the author do far more reading, so as not to buy into the false dichotomy of "main characters" vs "NPCs". People are far more complicated than that.

Hi, my name is Nathan. I have over 20 years of experience in tech, with the last 10 being remote-focused cybersecurity specializing in secured mobile phones. I have deep Linux and Android platform experience.

Qualcomm and MediaTek BSPs, firmware development, international business, live demos and presentations, writing marketing and technical documents, R&D and PoCs. I have managed multiple successful product launches.

Designed and implemented secure firmware loading processes. Customized Android phones and tablets. Built an RPi-based signals collection unit for WiFi and Bluetooth data. Strengths in DevOps, hardware evaluation, and system design. Interfacing with project stakeholders and translating customer needs into product features.

Self-starting team player, calm under pressure. Looking forward to bring my skills to bear in a dynamic organization. I can make Linux do anything. Always learning. Looking forward to chat!
I mean, it runs on phones and Blu-Ray players. Of course, our phones now need 4 gb of ram so they don't have to swap out their launchers...
At an ASDE-X equipped airport like DCA, there is surface radar that the tower manager, for example, might be keeping an eye on. This is just some screen with a high-res view of everything on the ground. Then you "notice" the mistake, jump out of your seat, run over to the radio, and yell at both of them to stop in place. That's basically how it works today.

On a clear day though, it's probably just people looking out the window of the tower (maybe with binoculars) and realizing in horror that there's been a mistake. The "noticing" is just intuiting the trajectory of the two moving objects...
They posted an apology but the general consensus in the comment section was that Mozilla is still going to sell your data.
Many economic concepts are part of our daily life. Supply and demand, comparative advantage, for example.

Anecdotally, we have hosted email servers for old games on Hetzner without issue, as the IP pool is generally not as popular with spammers given the time cost bringing up the server OS images. It is far from perfect, but generally performs well as reporting asshats on your local network block is easy.

Almost all cloud providers with dynamic-load ephemeral IPs will show up on ban lists eventually due to vulnerability scanners, bad spiders, and spam/voip drops. However, it is far more common for Spamhaus free tiers to quietly go sideways when no one is looking.

Gmail/Outlook have their own peer policies that serve their own business posture. Google does require administrators register in their clown system as a user to exchange email, but it is effective policy that adds nuisance cost to people spinning up 30 servers a day to spam people.

Firewall Rate-limits are effective on small single-domain servers. A modern email server in Go that is isolated from each user space greatly simplifies the possible setups. =3
That's Google's fake reason, but it's obvious that their real reason was that Manifest v2 let ad blockers work too well.
My godson wants to be a storyteller of some kind, either video, or music, and he was fretting about not being good enough. My advice to him was, "look, if you just sit and THINK about what you're going to do before you do it, you're going to be better than 80% of the people out there".

That's about what I've run into in my life. Most people do things on autopilot and don't think about what they're doing, or don't consider it worth thinking about. If you want to do something and be good at it, wanting to be good at it is enough to move you past most people, as long as you have a growth mindset.
> I've never understood what's the point of attracting good students if you don't want to keep them later on, unless you have overcapacity and sell education services.

Seems like you understand the point after all :)

US tertiary education is the perfect export good: Like other intellectual property, it's almost infinitely fungible, and parents from all over the world will part with staggering amounts of money for it.

The quality is definitely high, but the markup compared to other countries' universities is something else.
We have the combo right now, hoarding in assets. Inflation doesn't make rich people/corps spend more, just invest it differently.
And they don’t have that permission. Why is everyone skipping over the part of the sentence that specifies that this is only “for the purpose of doing as you request”. As you request! This is night and day to any other TOS I’ve ever read.

Beware of anyone who hordes trust, because they may be planning to cash in on that trust to screw you over when you need them most.

The United States is shifting toward a zero-trust model. All deals and agreements must be based on tangible incentives and benefits. It will be an interesting era.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) sets regulatory requirements for various aspects of the pharmaceutical industry, including the qualification of compressed gases used in manufacturing processes.

The mentioned alternatives also don't compare to what Visio has in terms of breadth for iconography, etc. It's just a bit better, which may not always be the case. That said, MS is definitely making enough to keep that ball rolling in terms of development.

Odd that it uses RARP to get an IP but then uses DHCP for NFS configuration. (Or is it the baked in firmware using RARP and then the modern NetBSD kernel using DHCP? That would make more sense)

Also:

> You need to rename the file with a specific format: the IP address of the JavaStation, but in 8 capitalized hex digits, followed a dot, and then the architecture (in this case “SUN4M”). So, in this example the IP address (as defined in rarpd above) is 192.168.128.45, which in hex is C0A8802D.

This is of course the correct way to do it, but if you're lazy you can just tail the tftpd logs and see what filename it tries to download, rename the file on the server, and reboot again to pick it up. (I did this when netbooting raspberry pis)
Top Ten Game Changers That Everyone Gets Wrong

Carefully read the conditions of the degree apprenticeship. I went through a similar process in Australia and was bonded for 5 years after graduation -- effectively to pay-off the up-front investment by the sponsor. i.e. locked-in for 9 years.

Potential employers will mostly value hands-on experience far more than fancy degrees.

Being rather cynical about near-term economic conditions, I would absolutely focus on having earnings ASAP and building up industry experience.

I didn't formally verify it, but during the Russian internet blackout, r/conservative was very quiet. I assume that the responses you read on that forum are not from actual US conservatives. After reddit purged most conservative subs (in 2 waves, when Trump 1 began and when Trump 1 ended), I don't think you'll find any conservative subreddits.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a forum that's accessible and with lots of conservatives. You have some on X and you have YouTube channels. Both are harder to engage with.
A lot of drones these days will have ADS-B. The ones that don't probably have geo-fencing to keep them away from airports. There's also all kinds of drone detection systems based on RF emittance.
