Something internal that doesnt need to be understood can usually just not be written in the kinds of organizations I'm familiar with. Writing because something written is required is usually for the public, cross-organizational or government.

Removing equally frequent measures of normal by leaving enforcement checks to discretion is basically a method to create a biased system to target anyone who is suspicious to any authority and confirm every authority with arbitrary biases is a really good judge of character.

All of these concerns, even #1, have applied to communist car driving America and its 25% theft of everything..

I would tax the beejesus out of energy use and personal road use and invert most income tax to make something closer to a free market than the US is.

That's a strange way to put it. What teems with more life than an open sewer?

I think people who tell you it is 19th century live in countries that use IBAN/SWIFT to push money instead of checks to tell people an account is available to drain.

The other explanation would more likely be paying lawyers. The fact that one has money from thin air for lawyers can not be challenged in court.

I agree that suckless has a presentation problem in the workplace and the small things being hard are often working against you.

I don't agree that you should spend time configuring and suckless makes configuration hard on purpose. I think the suckless philosophy embrasses vi over the embarrassing plugin/configuration hellscape of vim.

IBM was the other offer on the table. Scott managed to scuttle the deal but his ability to do so was far from a certainty since he was already out as CEO.

Google was pretty much incompatible, they had no interest in workstations or paying for quality as their focus was redundant arrays on inexpensive machines.

Fujitsu was the best actual option for commercial compatibility, but everyone felt it would be a waste of time to pursue that as the USG would almost certainly block a foreign sale.

The convenience of offering to re-login if your session is expired and you hit a site where you use it?

It's certainly very interesting since Java was among the few high level languages that had unlimited access to C OS devs in theory, but it doesn't show this in practice.

I always felt they were hostile to understanding OSes and problems/solutions they provide and thereby limiting themselves to mostly junior C devs who didn't rock the boat by making real OS features for the JVM.

Assuming that's not a M-W-F schedule you could look for someone who wants a part time roommate or house/pet sitter. As long as you are able to resume commuting and stick to living somewhere else 4 days of the week, stability of a lease/etc cuts both ways.

Rental prices are based on the rental market price and then affect house prices. A landlord deciding they aren't going to make enough for their risk at the market rate and selling doesn't change much as whoever buys either stops renting or is going to rent it out.

Keybase and IPFS seem to show that a P2P fediverse scales, I don't understand why people are trying to make a fidonet/BBS style fediverse where 10s of thousands rely on one person' altruism instead of every peer caching some encrypted data and responding to some queries a few minutes or hours a day.

It sure is funny how he manages to always be in the group that needs protection of millions of little voices from whoever has the tiny sliver of power to treat his crimes equally despite his wealth. How is he going to explain his transition back to more democrat than republican when the GOP is back?

A 14℅ reduction in something that happens to 5%+ of people measurably and probably lowers your developmental outcome even if it is bellow the threshold of clear measure (a weaker school year that you never quite catch up from could just be random after all.)

That's a much bigger deal than whether you have 12 in a million or 24 in a million chance of something that has a 5% chance of being fatal.

Giving a population lead poisoning didn't kill any of them outright but cognitive problems in the lead generation is correlated to our higher homicide rates and many of the poorer outcomes in our generation and echo's of its affects in society.

I find it interesting that the wider anti-vax demographics overlap heavily with the safety/helicopter parenting that focuses on some extremely unlikely demise as a reason to limit the next generation in ways that will have much higher rates of earlier deaths and reduced lifestyles when considering their overall lifespan.

The original price of .com, .org, .net, etc was $50/year, then $35, then network solutions lost its monopoly and today you still pay less..

Of course the other issue is the future popularity is unknown. I think a lot of the first wave of new TLDs are not so hot today, but maybe they aren't lowering their prices if their last cash is from domain renewals of those reluctant to move on.

They could simply identify these like they did for EV certs. Whether you trust one of them more or less is then your choice, (certainly I wouldn't continue on a random e-shop with a country specific cert but I also don't like landing on a supposed government site that has a comodo cert and may want to sell me a green card) mediated by journalism and their ability to keep a better reputation than the lowest CA that still gets a lock.

If I had to guess, half of the least trustworthy CAs in the one-store-fits-all keystore are also government affiliated ones and we don't even get anything to differentiate them from any regular commercial cert.

It seems interesting to me that even if we consider Google as a monolith, the authorities with abilities to compel Google are not monolithic and have varied rights and varied legitimacy. Quite a few groups that could subpoena logs could not compel active actions like wire tapping, etc.

I don't really see why the problem is with the EUs requirement and not the browsers brain dead implementation of trust.

Put these certificates into the store and mark the connection EIDAS-DE, etc instead of that stupid little lock that tells us nothing about which of thousands of CA scams with opaque shell company structures it is.

I don't see any relative change between Germany and Eastern Europe that would cut down on its brain drains (or economic migration cycles.) I think countries comparable to Japan have much less migration possibility for whatever combination of reasons.

Protected class is a meaningless distinction in this context. Hetzner is not checking your tax records to determine if you are a cryptoholder, they are denying a specific transaction based on its nature, not yours.

Its pretty clear that a dev with a second degree in law still wouldn't have been able to determine whether companies that shared most of the same infrastructure and listed corporate officers were 3rd parties in the context of software, without grilling someone who may or may not be a Trustcor executive, may or may not be the past founder and may or may not be dead, where such a death neither implies nor dismisses the possibility that they are still running the company.

Right Wing Pigeons, to be more precise.

The default in finance is conspiracy, this is why it has so much regulation. There's not a managed fund on earth that doesn't have a few fund managers that go around winking at 3rd parties and discussing ways to leverage their position and the limits of what they are allowed to accept.

Huh? AFAICT there's no longer an authorized Android process to replace your phone off of their cloud. You ran an app from one of your phone vendors and they copied whatever they wanted to?

I find the whole layout perplexing, more like things went off into a marketing plan to show what can be done instead of doing something reliable.

If it can't handle 10 batteries and can't handle updates without backup from the grid, why did they make/sell this setup? Two controllers with ~5 batteries would make a situation where one is active/normal and the other is being the grid so the reliability would be the same as whatever they promise everyone else.. Similarly, he doesn't actually need to be off the grid, his connection just doesn't meet his peak usage so the level of chaos seems to be just to be able to say this is an off grid setup?

The article and even the source article are like reading a research paper about beehives written for bee dancers.

Meters? Space per inhabitant? Irrelevant to your next hive where water should only be .5 seconds of beeswagger dance away!

I'm not really sure.. Expiring tax incentives for home energy choices seem to deliver points where one knew it was better to invest before the expiration than in the 12-36 months after the credit was gone. Devices reaching limits of a current system can also drive people to buy as devices that are much more sophisticated are often a longer wait than incremental improvements.

It wasn't really that bloated, it is just a stupid business to run because it requires a massive investment and delivers only twits.

I'm a bit shocked that no-one "acquihired" twitter to make another real tech company without hitting all the barriers and filtering even an infinite blood-money funded startup will hit. They threw out the baby, but the bath water is still there, and cloudy and a bit cold.

The economic advantage in delaying. Given the large build outs and that you don't want to replace panels for 15+ years, a Moore's law like rate of improvement often seems like a reason to wait and pay less for better panels that will have a higher productivity.
