Same here, on both points.
I also think it’s a legitimate worry that Democrats could replace Biden with a corporate anti-worker drone of their own. There’s plenty of those even if they handle the matter with much softer tactics. This puts a little pressure on them not to do that in order to be able to count on the Teamsters’ vote.
Not according to what he said during this speech. He said some pretty uncomfortable things to some of that audience. If there is a way to break the Trump voting block it’s to highlight the irreconcilable contradictions between the people in it. He did what Cory suggested in his most recent opinion piece.
This is what I did. Added Z-wave radio for this. The thermostat works fine.
This is what I’m thinking too. The only likely scenario under which the plaintext and MITM words make sense together is HTTP. I wouldn’t put it past Linksys to have used an HTTP API endpoint but these days a lot of things scream if you use HTTP. Thanks for the work!
I’m just finding no confirmation that they send them unencrypted over the Internet and I’ve seen “researchers” calling sending passwords over HTTPS “unencrypted.”
Mesh coordination is interesting. It’s not great. That said I doubt that any off-the-shelf consumer mesh system does go through the work to keep things local-only. It’s too easy to setup a cloud API and therefore likely all of them do that since it’s the cheapest.
What does this mean, that the use plain HTTP or some other protocol? I can’t see details.
Makes sense. Foreign direct investment means there’s no disruption of the local workers. The factory is owned by BYD, however Spanish workers work in it, and are hopefully represented by a Spanish union.
Well there’s data on drastic standard of living improvements over time and some specific policies that prioritize people over capital. At the same time they’re not universal and there’s still plenty of labor exploitation, lack of universal safety nets, environment destruction etc. One could find variables pointing to positive movement though, as well as negative. So I think today it’s a bit of an open question whether the party gives a shit about their people and how much. And that’s why I’m saying it would be interesting to see where they go in 5 years. Are they still building coal power plants or not. How much renewables have they deployed, nuclear, etc.
They should. If their socioeconomic system truly is more people-oriented than the western and given its size, then this would be a great showcase.
I see this parroted now and then. Often the people I’ve heard it from are the type of folks who would drastically underestimate the complexity and effort needed to make things. I’ve also seen and worked on codebases made by such folks and usually it ain’t pretty, or maintainable, or extensible, or secure, or [insert fav cut corners here].
That actually makes the most sense. So similar to how Linux was started.
Why are open source software monocultures bad? The vast majority of non-Windows OSes are Linux based. Teams who don’t like certain decisions of the mainline Linux team maintain their forks with the needed changes.
Manifest V3 is a great example of this. You can only backport for so long, especially when upstream is being adversarial to your changes. We need an unaffiliated engine that corrects the mistakes we made with KHTML/Webkit.
And we could get a functional one today by forking Chromium and never accepting a single upstream patch thereafter. I find it really hard to believe that starting a browser engine from scratch would require less labor. This is why I’m looking for an alternative motive. Someone mentioned licensing.
Perhaps some folks just want to do more work to write a new browser engine. After all Linus did just that, instead of forking the BSD kernel.
Any intuition on why we’d expect opening the same page on a newly implemented browser engine that implements all equivalent standards and functions will consume less resources?
I do not understand the urge to start from scratch instead of forking an existing, mature codebase. This is typically a rookie instinct, but they aren’t rookie so there’s perhaps an alternative motive of some sort.
China saw the world’s biggest outflow of high-net-worth individuals last year and is expected to see a record exodus of 15,200 in 2024, dealing a further blow to its economy, a new report says.
It’s interesting how through the neoliberal lens this looks like “a blow” to their economy. But from a Keynesian or MMT lens, China doesn’t need high net worth individuals to drive the economy. Public investment can and has done this in China as well as many other parts of the world.
From another angle, letting high net worth individuals flee, could reduce apparent wealth inequality in China.
Title says growth, article paragraph says contraction. Yeah technically contraction is negative growth. Still misleading.
As many have pointed out, price wise it’s not competitive. But more than that, the main feature of the Pi is its software support. I buy a Pi not because it’s got the top specs but because I know I can load a rock solid OS with security support and I won’t have to think about it. This is a problem for every Pi competitor.
Perhaps to people who are used to watching ad infested cable and don’t pay for ad-free streaming. So it’s not that ads aren’t detracting from the experience but that some folks are used to it. Getting those folks is growth. Number go up.
It isn’t? You might be looking at a different market.
Threatening a dog with a weiner I see. That’s a bold strategy.
