The US, we ration too. We just do it in the most cruel way possible where the working poor doesn't get access to health care, because they can't afford it, and just lives with preventable and easily treated conditions until they die sooner and more miserably.
About the only one I can think of is connectivity in electronically noisy situations. It's a lot easier to find gigabit sfp modules for linking with fiber than it is to find 100 mbit modules.
Theoretically, yeah. Though at 320Mhz, with only 2.4ghz wireless, even with two cores, I doubt it's going to get anywhere near the throughput to fill the gigabit connection.
Redis started off as Free Software, but was switched to a source available license in version 7.4. The community promptly forked to Valkey, which is still under the BSD license. Since then, Redis shifted to AGPL 3, with contributor agreements, to try to ensure that they're the only ones who can attempt to commercialize Redis.
The BSD license made forking Valkey easier because it ensures that everyone has equal footing. The GPL, especially with contributor license agreements and the like, makes it much more easy for a single party to control the direction of the product. For another example of this happening, look at MongoDB. It started out under the AGPL, but was rugpulled to a non-free license.
The BSD license is why we have Valkey and not a purely closed-source Redis. It would have been much easier to perform the rugpull if Redis had initially been GPLed.
I was one of the dozen or so who photographed this event. The breakdown was about a third there for the march, a third there for counterprotesting, and a third there documenting the event.
Yes. Offline is how a lot of rootkits are analyzed after the admin notices peculiar behavior. There are a lot of other tells that could be run online to find this rootkit though, most notably, its behavior with ftrace. Disabling ftrace, and then running a program that uses ftrace would tell right away that something's wrong.
It also helps the developers of apps that Apple can't or won't approve. Apps like ICEBlock could still work just fine using alternative app stores that have backbone.
I used Linux as my daily driver for years, before finally switching back to Windows, and then to the Mac. I got tired of things like wine breaking on apps, I got tired of the half-assed replacements for software available on Windows, like GIMP compared to Photoshop. I got tired of the ugly desktop that inevitably occurs once you start needing to mix QT and GTK based apps. Linux is not a panacea.
A copyleft license like the AGPL didn't stop MongoDB from rugpulling. I'd argue that the AGPL, and the copyright assignment that tends to go with it, makes it easier to rugpull because forking entities would be at an extreme disadvantage in keeping the lights on compared to the closed-sourcing company. A non-copyleft license, on the other hand, makes it much easier for a forking company to cover all the same niches as the original company, making a rugpull that much more difficult.
Demographics are used pretty heavily in market research, etc. This could be used both in targeting ads to specific people, and also in providing aggregate data to business and marketing partners -- being able to say they have approximately x 18-24s is valuable to pitching partnerships, etc.
It's grandstanding. He knows it doesn't have a chance in hell in passing, but chose to write this bill with the sole purpose of currying favor. It'll die in committee and that'll be the end of it.
A 5.1 isn't going to do much damage in socal, especially where it was epicentered. Probably the worst is going to be knocked over liquor bottles at the supermarket. Awkward timing, but not a disaster.
The apps are the ecosystem. If people can't run the programs they need to actually do things with their computers, then all the technical benefits in the world are useless. It was the biggest problem 20 years ago with Linux, and is the biggest problem now.
It's not. But you can't whip up a froth of moral panic with something that's been around for 30 years at this point. You have to go after a Hot New Thing that's been grabbing a lot of headlines.
Truth Social is a modified Mastodon instance. Given Musk's recent actions against Mastodon, I imagine that the automated tools he's using to find Mastodon instances also detects Truth Social, and he doesn't want to have to deal with exceptions to his rules.
There are other actionable laws that could potentially be used here though. Slander of Title [1] certainly seems to apply here, given that the claims disparage ownership, and could be argue to have caused damages, through things like unwanted ads being played before and during the videos.
Pretty much. There's been a tendency among reactionary sorts to attack any piece they don't like by saying the writer is "just a journalist", ignoring the actual piece, and ignoring any credentials that the author has, like in this case, the writer of the piece is an Associate Professor at the University of Miami.
Number of variants to a large extent. Risc-V has a relatively few number of implementations that are about the same in terms of how they implement things. Aarch64 has a comparably huge number of implementations that have different pipeline descriptions, different extension APIs supported, etc. Aarch64 includes descriptors for everything from a low-end Cortex A53 designed back in 2012 to a a high-end Apple M2 that was released this year.
