I hope they won't try to save money operating the thing. Cut costs by inspecting it less often, deferring repairs etc.

The author really thinks punishing breaks something, doesn't he?

I, uh, I have to say I appreciate a bug that just causes a core dump and a headache.

"The last stab in the back are HTTP/1.1 Desync attacks joyfully popularized by James Kettle in DEFCON and Black Hat conferences" That sounds as if the author thinks http/1.1 is dying because attacks are published. Not be

Reminds me of the CEO who said that "from now on we will focus on low-risk projects with huge upside".

Every rule applies poorly to some corner case. That is a necessary consequence of being simpler than reality: Every time you simplify a model by disregarding a rare or unimportant trait, you make the model poor for the cases where that rare

It makes sense to have a rule that the punishment for vandalism depends in part on the monetary value of the damaged/destroyed object. If you have such a rule, why should you make an exception for some objects, e.g. the most famous few

Oh, this looks worrying, and perhaps wrong. Key paragraph: «It argued that AI systems do not "understand" what they process in the same way humans do. "As philosopher Luciano Floridi puts it, AI acts without understanding – i

This assumes that a machine can do the job, but the present owners don't understand it. The article doesn't say "this will force farmers to mechanise more", see?

The bigger-pocketed entities need a plan to make a profit before they buy. That plan isn't easy to make — that's why the present owners risk going bust.

It does lots of things itself, and gets lots of other things from Bing.

The WLAN AP collects that. They really track you (they being the AP and Google). You may assume that they collude, or not.

What, this is dated 2025 but seems to mostly be about covid-era issues? Was it really written this year?

That sounds good, except that the freeze looks like... "slowly then suddenly". I suspect: Nothing's going to happen as long as the Russians can keep delivering new soldiers to match the ones that die one way or another, a gre

AIUI, the amounts spent on lobbying are large of you compare them to what ordinary people spend on rent, but piddly if you compare them to what a government collects from even minor taxes.

Huh, doesn't it mean "someone who can infect others"?

And all of them do it. Striking. But it seems possible that the price isn't what matters here. Rather, that the Ukrainians consider accuracty/reliability to be the key factors. Hypothesis: They're using these things against t

NAT is bad and massive address spaces, sure. And having massive address spaces is so pleasant to work with. Should be globally addressable, not so much: IPv6 explicitly includes site-local and link-local addressing. A fridge ought to ask

My Dell experience was also pretty bad, compared to e.g. my current Huawei laptop or a friend's Lenovo.

Government isn't what? Government provides a large number of services, from education to firefighting. I can see why one might see education as a drain on the economy on any timescale up to a decade, but if you want to have an educated

I think the most important facet in India is that it produces totals in the voting place, immediately after voting ends, and those don't surprise the well-informed observers who are generally present. This mechanism is difficult to use

I think you're saying that people would only lobby for tax cuts if their tax bill has one set of reasons, and not if their tax bill has another set of reasons. Right?

Maybe, or maybe not. Look at India's for a different outcome. They had many problems related to paper:p printing enough voting forms, transporting them on village roads, storing them until election day in villages where there might or

If wealth is accreting is individuals… but is it really? When you have a nice job in a company, then as a matter of accounting, the shareholders have wealth. As I see it, that's just a matter of accounting. The first sentence of this p

The wealth isn't particularly illiquid. That's not the problem I raise. The problem I raise is that it largely is someone's jobs. If you want to tax the companies' overall value, part of the income from the work the comp

Yeah, well. The richest person in the city where I live is rich because many thousand well-paid jobs are counted as part of her wealth. I've heard that she's not a nice person, but that hardly matters: If you want to extract money

Really rich people don't have a lot of money, they have a lot of assets that are considered to be worth a lot of money, typically companies. Companies are work. If you make the big owners ask for higher dividends, you tax the work indi
