> "the people who in aggregate comprise Geffen Records will regret the role they played in restricting access to these works,"

Is this deep? What people in this thread are saying is that they won't regret nor remember it, and whatever comfort you're taking from thinking "in the end, after everything is ruined, they'll realize I was right" is cheap and lazy.

Nobody needs anybody to point out that the loss of music is bad. Nobody needs anyone to conjure fantasies of future schadenfreude over the regret of record execs. People need tactics and strategies to figure out how to stop this destruction.
Hopefully this isn't a biased take:

I think this is a unique situation because the recent moves (in my opinion) are largely a result of everyone's uncertainty around America's policies.

In other words, the recent stock moves aren't because we're seeing a bunch of companies fail to miss quarterly targets. There are no major economic indicators flashing red.

If stocks can drop that fast in a couple weeks, they can also (hopefully) rise just as fast, especially if the catalyst was some poorly timed or thought out US policy decisions. (Although there's a non-zero chance that the president continues down this road and just ignores the stock market in the short-term, which I find terrifying, along with everyone else on wall street I presume)
This is almost certainly a fragmentation issue caused by lower MTU and broken path MTU on the VPN. Drop the system to 1280 to troubleshoot, if things work immediately there's the culprit, raise it up til it doesn't or don't, I keep my VPN's at 1280.

EDIT: I do not know why its an issue with firefox and not chrome, it's likely QUIC fucking up since it cant fragment and needs to fall back to TCP, chrome is probably error handling this better... dropping the MTU that low will make the fallback explicit: https://blog.apnic.net/2019/03/04/a-quick-look-at-quic/

When I click the link for this story, Edge (stop laughing. Please.) pops up "uBlock Origin works on Microsoft Edge." (It's already there, Edge, but thank you).

Edge is based on Chromium, so would that mean this breakage will eventually apply to Edge as the Manifest changes, uhm, manifest to Chromium-based products? Or is this just a Google Chrome thing?

FWIW I keep Firefox around but I have to admit I like Edge's smooth sync of bookmarks and settings across machines and even different platforms. I switched about two years ago when Edge was clearly faster and lighter. It's no longer as lightweight and there are slowly accumulating annoyances coming mostly from some Microsoft Clippy-esque attempts to make some tasks "easier" (mostly via Copilot) but I still prefer it to Firefox. My former employer/retiree benefits site, for example, won't open at all in Firefox. I've considered other Chromium based browsers like Brave but haven't (yet) been sufficiently motivated to switch. (Give Microsoft some time, I expect they'll eshit Edge eventually).
I saved like 14 months to buy a cd-rw drive. It was a nice Sony, I think 12x/4x. I paid like $400-some dollars for it around 1998 or 1999.

To be fair I think this is long overdue. The fundamentals do not support the price of many stocks. Recently Tesla had more market cap than Toyota and many other established brands combined. No way in hell that is believable.

I guess it doesn't surprise me that our corporate overlords do everything possible to make it more annoying to watch their media, but I don't have to like it. It's frustrating, because at this point it's going to be extremely difficult to avoid DRM (quasi) legally.

I HYPOTHETICALLY have over 400 Blu-ray movies, and about 40 complete series. I HYPOTHETICALLY painstakingly ripped all of them, broke their DRM, and watch it with my Jellyfin server. I don't put these videos on ThePirateBay, and the Blu-rays are all legit copies. I've gotten conflicting information about whether or not what I'm doing is legal, but I certainly don't think what I'm doing there is unethical.

But now, how exactly do I get DRM-free movies while also paying for them? They aren't really producing Blu-rays for every movie anymore, if I want to buy a movie I have to get it from Amazon or something and stream it, with the corporation reserving the right to take it away at any time.

Is the only way of getting and preserving media piracy now? I genuinely don't know of a way to get DRM-free media anymore without stealing it.
Your source shows the "Market Share Worldwide". I don't see it shows the "Default Browser Worldwide".

AFAIK, in the US, the default for:

- Windows: Edge

- Mac: Safari

- Ubuntu: Firefox

I think the claim that "Google just pays PC makers to make Chrome the default browser" needs a clear source.

Yes, it really costs that much.

Given Chrome's vast market share, I'm pretty sure its users like it. And you know what? Most users won't mind switching to uBlock Origin Lite, and the elephant in the room is that “manifest v3” also increases security, with Chrome being indeed the most secure browser.
Firefox and its derivatives remain the only true alternative at this point.

Common sense is a very poor guide to many aspects of the world. It's not true of physics, or biology, or astrophysics, and even areas of math are very, very far from common sense. Human cognitive biases make "common sense" as both a predictor how people will behave and as a basis for understanding the world a remarkably poor choice.

And yes, economics is far from a hard science and most macro is driven by some combination of personal experience and political ideology. But that doesn't mean that "non-common-sense" ideas about macro are wrong, anymore than it means that extrapolating from the "common sense" of personal experience (i.e. no limits on your own spending and debt will lead to bankruptcy) is right.

I think you may have fallen into a bit of confirmation bias there. The article you linked to words itself like so:

"According to research published in the journal PLOS One, navigating with a map and compass might help stave off cognitive decline and symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s Disease."

This means that the study found that there may be positive benefits to cognitive health when one routinely engages in navigation related activities using a compass and a map.

That is a very very VERY different statement than: "Using Google Maps causes cognitive decline."

In order to demonstrate any kind of causality between using Maps and cognitive decline, you would have to start with an additional premise that everyone engaged in navigation using a compass and map on such a regular basis that the switch represents a switch to a less healthy lifestyle.

I think that statement is specious at best.

I'm old enough to remember living without Google Maps. And the amount of time that I reached for a paper map and a compass was so infrequent that Google Maps represented something new for me more than it represented something different. That is to say, it wasn't replacing something I did regularly so much as it gave me a reason to start using any kind of a "map" in the first place.

Most people I know would say the same thing. We had some maps skills when we needed them ... but we tried to avoid needing them more often than not.

So yeah, the study might have merit. But I don't think it suggests what you think it suggests.

IMHO, the real issue with Google isn't the control of the web browser, but the complete vertical integration of the ad space. Divest Google of its position as the ad broker (i.e., unwind its acquisition of DoubleClick), and prohibit any sort of privileged data flow from Google to ex-Google Ads, and you'd probably have a more viable solution than the poking DoJ is trying to do right now.

No, because those specialists never quite existed. That is, every farmer who owned horses would let them breed and then sell most of the foals every year. Similarly, any farmer could carve a yoke whenever they needed one; it wasn’t skilled labor that required years of training the way lacemaking or weaving was.
I'm not sure how a memory leak in Next.js, a massive project with a "move fast and break things" attitude, reflects on Node.js.

My experience with Node.js (on the backend) and Next.js (since Next.js 10) has been pretty solid, albeit being conservative, only just migrated to Next.js 15, still on pages router.

I'm not saying Node.js is the best thing since sliced bread. Memory leaks in event driven, long-running processes are a thing. I think it might be more about finding a language/runtime that clicks with your mental model. I'm interested to see how Elixir pans out for you in the long run.
The fact that the state of the art container orchestration system requires you to run a sleep command in order to not drop traffic on the floor is a travesty of system design.

We had perfectly good rolling deploys before k8s came on the scene, but k8s insistence on a single-phase deployment process means we end up with this silly workaround.

I yelled into the void about this once and I was told that this was inevitable because it's an eventually consistent distributed system. I'm pretty sure it could still have had a 2 phase pod shutdown by encoding a timeout on the first stage. Sure, it would have made some internals require more complex state - but isn't that the point of k8s? Instead everyone has to rediscover the sleep hack over and over again.
Well the issue with housing doesn't seem to be a "bubble" in the same sense. It's moreso we aren't building enough housing so the supply is limited.

With higher rates the monthly price is higher too which is contributing to un-affordability. But if rates go down then monthly payment prices would go down, which would cause prices to go up.

If rates go down because there's a substantial recession home prices may go down but many people may be out of jobs or unwilling to sell.

That was a botnet, which is entirely different type of threat (i.e. not baked into the silicon by its manufacturer). Most botnets out there have at some point in their life been used for DDoS, that's one of the most common reasons to have one. (Another common reason is for use as residential proxies, for personal or web scraping use.) Botnets are usually entirely irrelevant though, nobody really jumped to accuse TP-LINK of being a national security threat when those botnets were discovered. I'm pretty sure there was even someone using the exploit to try to patch the vulnerability in as many routers as possible as a courtesy.
Macs are easy to sell if they are BtO with custom configuration, in that case you may not lose too much.
But the depreciation hit hard on the base models, the market is flooded because people who buy those machines tend to change them often or are people who were trying, confused, etc.

Low end PCs (mostly laptops) don't keep value very well but then again you probably got them for cheap on a deal or something like that, so your depreciation might actually not be as bad as an equivalent Mac. The units you are talking about are entreprise stuff that are swapped every 3 years or so, for accounting reasons mostly, but it's not the type of stuff I would advise anyone to buy brand new (the strategy would actually be to pick up a second-hand unit).

High-end PCs, laptops or big desktops keep their value pretty well because they are niche by definition and very rare. Depending on your original choice you may actually have a better depreciation than an equivalently priced Mac because there are fewer of them on sale at any given time.

It all depends on your personal situation, strength of local market, ease of reselling through platforms that provides trust and many other variables.

What I meant is that it's not the early 2000's anymore, where you could offload a relatively new Mac (2-3 years) very easily; while not being hit by big depreciation because they were not very common.

In my medium sized town, there is a local second-hand electronic shop where they have all kinds of Mac at all kind of price points. High-end Razers sell for more money and are a rare sight.
It's pretty much the same for iPhones, you see 3 years old models hit very hard with depreciation while some niche Android phones take a smaller hit.

Apple went through a weird strategy where at the same time they went for luxury pricing by overcharging for things that makes the experience much better (RAM/storage) but also tried to make it affordable to the mass (by largely compromising on things they shouldn't have).

Apple's behavior created a shady second-hand market with lots of moving part (things being shipped in and out of china) and this is all their doing.
Except ADIRU isn't INS.

The INS unit is separate and often has its own set of gyros and has to be connected as separate input to FMS or other navigational computers, same as connecting GPSes or other radio nav components.

For example the current model of popular Universal Avionics UNS1 series of NCU (navigational computer part of FMS) come with built-in augmented GPS receiversz but do not mention INS functionality at all even in extended models. Don't have access to manuals at the moment, but I'd expect to see INS as optional to connect over one of the external connectors on the MCU, as it was on the older models without integrated GPS

Part of the fight is sending messages. Almost all of the fight is sending messages, actually. It's lobbying government, arguing in the courts, lobbying people in general, and creating fear in people who would share their works.

"Somehow vindictive" is just anthropomorphizing. They want the most money. They think that these are the tactics that will bring them the most money. If letting everybody share freely made them more money, they'd do that.
