> all the way up to granting him total immunity for "official acts"

There is a massive loophole in that SCOTUS decision inasmuch as official acts are defined as legal ones. So if the President does something illegal, it isn't official. (We never saw that logic followed through because Cannon is a stooge and Garland took a nap for two years. But it's there.)

Note, too, that the absolute immunity is only for "core constitutional powers," i.e. those in respect of which his powers are "conclusive and preclusive." If the President has sole power in a domain, then the Congress doesn't have the power to criminalise it. Herego, absolute immunity for those. For everything else, it's closer to qualified immunity.

I can't say I really agree with the ruling. But that's mostly due to imparsimoniousness--I don't think they needed to make "a decision for the ages," they needed to narrowly rule on a case and controversy.

The barometer is "nice to have". The compass is non-negotiable. It is extremely useful once you get used to remembering that you have one. Example: you have arrived at a train station in a new city. You have planned your route - you need to catch a bus from a stop on the west side of the station. You alight on the platform and there are multiple exits - you are completely disoriented. Turn left or right?
Exactly this.

If CloudFlare, any "relay" were compromised, all traffic through that would be compromised. That's everything. All your bank details, full access, it's all right there.

The selling point of SSL is nobody can read what you do between you and the final destination, except when the developers of that destination enlist CloudFlare who have a root certificate that allows them to intercept everything whether you realise or not.
He did not doubt fatality numbers, he made the point that one man cannot kill millions alone. It is something that requires the resources of a state. One man didn't kill millions, the state apparatus of Nazi Germany did.

There were numerous pogroms of Jews in European history but they pale in comparison to the Holocaust because it was the policy of an advanced, centralised, bureaucratic state.

Whether you support a big state or not, one undeniable fact about them is that they are highly capable. That capability can be used to do evil. cf. The US federal government of the 1890s, for example, was institutionally incapable of genocide.
Given that people are being arrested for the most stupid reasons in Turkey, I can understand people not wanting to put their life on the line. 10 years ago I could have seen people protesting (see Gezi park protests) but now ? Not really.

What's worse is that somehow plenty of Turk are fine with it. Inflation above 100% for long time, crappy salaries, people can't even afford rents but the leader's party still get about 30% of the votes.

This is also a lesson for fellow Americans: don't think that just because Trump won't be able to lower the price of the eggs, will make rural voters miserable and make America a worse place means that at the next election you get rid of him. Once the environment is set up properly, anything can be justified, and with the right mindset the voter will accept any bullshit. Remember, "we always have been at war with Eastasia"

The Netherlands already has a domestic uranium enrichment facility that can perform 5000 tons of separative work per year:

https://www.urenco.com/global-operations/urenco-nederland

Because of the counter-intuitive way uranium enrichment works, enrichment from natural uranium to commercial reactor fuel takes more separative work than going from commercial reactor fuel to bomb material:

https://scipython.com/blog/uranium-enrichment-and-the-separa...

Because commercial power reactors consume so much uranium per year, the on-site inventory needed just to produce a year's worth of commercial reactor fuel is enough to make many bomb cores. Nuclear breakout could be very fast if the Netherlands were willing to endure all the diplomatic consequences of withdrawing from the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.

I agree about the longer timeline to develop a ballistic missile system that could deliver a warhead.

Well, yeah. That's why I want walled gardens to "have options" without enforcing that people must/must-not use those options.
Indeed, and it was written for the typical electronics course that's part of the undergraduate physics curriculum, which is how I encountered it in the early 80s. A year later they switched to a different text because AoE was too hard.

I don't think I've ever met an engineer who used it in college. Except it might be like Messiah's quantum mechanics book -- something you read after you already understand the subject matter. That's why the second through sixth readings are the best. ;-)

But I think the physics students were learning electronics for a different purpose, to support laboratory research, which depends heavily on electronics. The course was expected to be accompanied by a lab, and we had a lot of chances to learn about making and breaking things throughout our degrees. Maybe the electronics course helped us figure out which ones of us became experimentalists, or theoreticians.

And both Electronics and manufacturing were also much more primitive in those days. Real products were closer to our hacked-together prototypes than they are today.
What was the problem?

I feel that it just works.
Good callout, will try! I haven't considered switching tools, it's mostly convenience of just continuing, instead of stopping mid-way through and switch out the tools. But also I only code intermittently, a couple of days a week at most these days, because it's only part of what I do, so I can get to experiment with new tooling much less than i'd like.
I've been using HTTrack for almost two decades to create static archives of a yearly website for an annual event.

It doesn't do the job 100% but it's a start. In particular, HTTrack does not support srcset, so only the default (1x) pixel-density images were archived (though I manually edited the archives to inject the high pixel-density images, as well as numerous other necessary fix-ups).

The benefit of the tool is fine control over the crawling process as well as which files are included. Included files have their URLs rewritten in the archived HTML (and CSS) to account for querystrings, absolute vs. relative URLs, external paths, etc.; non-included files also have their URLs rewritten to change relative to absolute links; thus, you can browse the static archive, and non-included assets still function if they are online at their original URL, even if the static archive is on local storage or hosted at a different domain than the original site.

It was more work each year as the website gradually used script in more places, leading to more and more places I would need to manually touch-up the archive to make it browsable. The website was not itself an SPA, but contained SPAs on certain pages; my goal was to capture the snapshot of the initial HTML paint of these SPAs but not to have them functional beyond that. This was (expectedly) beyond HTTrack's capabilities.

At least one other team member wanted to investigate https://github.com/Y2Z/monolith as a potential modern alternative.

Why it is a wow?
Almost funny to observe how this comment floats between 1 and 0 points every few hours.

Really, I'm in the telco industry for 18 years now. The smartphone market is in a way too unhealthy state, especially to properly compete with Apple.

As of today, there is no player in that space who has even remotely the amount of secured income to come up with a similarly specced and volume-scaled device as Apple, and there is little incentive for anyone new to enter this space.

A new entrant would be unable to secure the investment, because even if he would produce the exact same piece of hardware with the same quality, the carrier distribution channels, the brand-image and (walled garden) ecosystem of Apple will prevent users to even notice and adopt the product, and the press would jump onto it and rip it to pieces for not being universally better.

How would this normally work?

--> You disrupt the market by doing something particularly good, while being average in other areas, succeed, then iterate.

But this doesn't work in the Smartphone space as:

1.) iOS users are unlikely to leave their ecosystem because they can't take _anything_ with them

2.) the Google ecosystem leaves little room to disrupt and secure return-of-investment, and

3.) for Android (without Google) you need to (re)build your own ecosystem to _match_ Google/Apple from the start.

That's why it's not a competitive market anymore, it needs external forces to restore an even competition field for Hardware, Applications and Services.

For the benefit of the consumer.

No, commits can be co-authored.

And the committer and author don’t even need to be the same!

But the point, as I read it, is: what matters is the context, i.e. if a line is faulty, how did things look like when it wasn’t faulty? The commit’s content is more often more important than the committer, although the committer is useful because you can ask them if they’re still around.

I don't think that's what the GP says. They mean that people undergoing trauma from personal interactions look for a way to relieve it, of course. Trauma is about survival (whether or not the person is aware or really in danger); there is a strong drive to resolve it and mastery is a very common way. In this case, by mastering something non-social they get strength and stability.

He returned to Yosemite as Ansel's workshop assistant the following year, and in 1970 moved to Carmel to work fulltime as Ansel's Assistant and printer of Adams' Yosemite Special Edition Prints. Ted also returned for fifteen seasons as an Instructor at Ansel's Yosemite Workshops.
- All of our phones do a bunch of computational photography where AI tooling improves a photo in various ways. In that case, is any photo taken by a modern phone not copyrightable?

On a related note, I believe it's just a question of time that in some high profile case (murder, rape, thief) direct photographic evidence of the perpetrator will have to be discarded, because it was taken with a smartphone and it's imposible to determine to which degree it was altered.

If you look into the history of some of our most recent, major disasters, they've happened under the watch of authoritarian governments. Two that spring to mind would be Chernobyl and Covid.

Companies running under those governments should surely be susceptible to similar issues because the fish rots from the head down. The culture and fear of speaking out and there for steering things in the right direction would be really dangerous for a company like Amazon and the AWS ecosystem.
I think the “of course” (involuntarily) assumes that you have to choose a good goal, which, looking at the world, is by no means a given.

Many people show tenacity, persistence, and even obsession, but they choose wrong or mediocre goals, at least if we consider traditional “success” as a "good target".
And I'm not referring to people who spend hours and hours scrolling through social media, showing tenacity, persistence, and unusual resistance to boredom, but to those who spend enormous energy, effort, and time trying to get a minor job promotion that would earn them an extra 10K a year, along with the satisfaction of having given their work arch-nemesis a hard time, instead of using the same energy, effort, and time to earn 100K more a year elsewhere.

I see tenacity and stamina in people who every day look for the best, the most “optimal” diet that will allow them to finally reach the best shape of their lives, instead of using the same stamina to resist a little hunger when they choose and follow the most effective way to lose weight, which is to eat less.

If I look back on my life, one of my biggest regrets is not having chosen better and bigger goals for my efforts: I spent a lot of time and energy trying to make relationships work, instead of using the same time and energy to find someone more compatible with me; I spent energy, time and willpower to get excellent grades in school, without thinking too much about whether those excellent grades would lead me to the professional career I aspired to; I spent years working tirelessly toward the dream of an academic career, before realizing that I did not want to work with students that much, my research was not that groundbreaking, and I wanted to earn much more money than what an academic career could offer.

Choosing the right goal is by no means a given.

I'm also sure many of you understand the farther reaching implications of this ruling, especially how it relates to software code written by AI. All that code written by AI cannot be licensed as anything besides public domain. Just think of all the code people have checked into git, that they did not write! Next, please consider the implications towards the open source community if ever there is controversy about Linux kernel code that was AI generated, and then suddenly cannot be covered by the GPL. I think the neck-beard people over at NetBSD can sometimes be eccentric about many things, but this topic was deserved when they loudly banned all AI generated code from their repos.

I'm still hopeful that RHEL will find a way to integrate dnf system-upgrade in the future, but it's not a trivial undertaking. As long as the transaction can resolve cleanly, it's technically possible to do. But it doesn't mean you'll have a properly configured system when it boots up. Tools like leapp and its derivatives (ELevate) do a bit more under the hood work to ensure a complete upgrade. Fedora itself only ever supports and tests up to a two version bump for system upgrades, e.g. 40 -> 42, 41 -> 43, etc. RHEL major releases are jumping (at minimum) six Fedora releases.

So this guy is arguably doing more damage than anyone to AI. The rulings against him are inarguable. He wants his custom AI to be included as an author.

People take these rulings, misunderstand them and assume all AI tools create work that cannot be copyrighted, when plainly, every other AI tool lists the user as the author, and not the tool.
Yes it is slightly different but we are talking about people who start and run businesses, typically. Unless living here comes with some tremendous benefits that transcend money, they will leave. They generally have little loyalty to their homeland. I wouldn't either, if my homeland wanted to take me for all I'm worth in taxes. Not only would I consider leaving if I had more money, but I know of people who specialize in helping moderately wealthy leave. They cater to people who have a few million dollars and up.

>They outsourced industry, because the logic of industrial production is that all costs should be driven as low as possible and much human labor is fungible.

It's not just industrial production, it's the top jobs that people on this site need. Jobs in software and other kinds of engineering are increasingly under threat. There is some merit to seeking lower costs, and we benefit from that, but it's also possible to paint yourself into a corner from a national security standpoint. My point remains: the same cost-saving motive that drives wealthy people to preserve money in life and business is likely to push them out of the country if we oppress them.

There are many real-life examples of people fleeing for economic reasons. Why is it so easy to believe that day laborers or doctors would flee for greener pastures, but hard to believe that many wealthy business owners wouldn't?
