It's not "quite expensive" if you compare it to the Australian passport which is 2x as expensive and so notoriously badly bound, holders joke Australian Border Protection forces test for forgeries by checking if the blue cover curls: if not, it's a fake.

Aha! Mansfield Park has been my favourite, since the 1980s. Most Austen fans seem to dislike it, and see the central character as weak and insipid. But, I see it as about code switching and timidity, she's clearly an introvert being bullied by the family.

The intrusion of Caribbean wealth is slavery. Edmond should be more overtly concerned about his families wealth, although to be fair it was mainly dissenters who did this, not the recipients of a family living.

She's on the money for naval preferment. Without help, commoner middies didn't make the crucial step up towards post captain. And for preferment, sexual favours by a sister would be common.

This will ultimately become restrictive employment related, and be used to prevent staff exchanges between FAANG.

Ie, borderline illegal.

A less well known part of the invisible city is the mandated interception room in international internet exchanges on the east and west coast of the USA. Inside the giant windowless data centers, there are secure facilities and it's non optional to have your fibre enter this room and leave again. What happens inside the room.. (passive optical tap) isn't very clear.

The bit at the end where they are pulled out of line at boarding was very confusing. If they were conducted back out of secure space to public space, "next minute I was aboard" short circuits re-entry to secure space.

I think the editor removed some text, and context. I read this as "we're watching you" reinforcement: they were pulled out of line, politely, shown senior staff engagement, talked to, and then put back into boarding to leave.

Also, this is presumably about the Basij, but didn't seem to say so very clearly.

It is worth remembering the Shah era had very very unpleasant police-state forces.

I think this gets to the heart of what third party/alternate gui style means. Either we abstract the control elements to a common core and then what we call them, and their main points can change, but they are understood in metaform for what they are, or we have .. soup.

Ctrl-c Ctrl-v are just one instantiation. Open, new, open old, reopen, settings, help, print, there's hundreds of potential points which by default will hang off a burger menu and which either do not conform to a specific style guide or else don't behave the same compiled ifdef #this package against ifdef #that platform.

On a mac, it's policed. It's almost the lead value proposition.

This story goes to the heart of "moral rights" -irrespective of IPR law, recognition of the artists was key to the author and I like that.

The proustian childhood regained part, that's very relatable. Sometimes a Madeline is actually a CD.

Is this using homomorphic encryption and a trusted intermediary?

I am unsure why you have been down voted because fundamentally your point is correct. Health is a fully regulated space, and no entity should be supplying medical products without adherence to requirements appropriate to their role. Compounding GLP-1 seems to me to be in the higher bar space.

This is a continuing relationship. When Britain showed it was within an inch of a viable independent ICBM with Black Knight/Blue Streak, the US agreed to share polaris. The condition was ending independent production of competing tech. Black Prince (related?) wound up as IPR in Ariane, the British strategic arms were polaris.

Some in Europe would say depending on F35 and a US weapons package means you probably do not have independent authority over the weapon.

Starmer is continuing a relationship over 50 years old. He isn't rocking the boat. I'm not here to decry it or promote it, just saying how I see it.

France is where independent european nuclear weapons capacity lies.

This! Yes please!

I proposed an archival function at my uni, for historical artifacts held in static collections e.g. the physics lab old computing gear. Turntable, slow rotate, static camera film, done.

This was actually pre-web: I wanted this put in the campus gopher!

I've considered Sylve might get where I need to be, but now you have offered me another choice. Interesting!

No. I only say it because people often have heightened expectations of public interest services, and regrettably this is the one time I think it really matters to understand nobody can entirely hide your surface of visibility, despite the best of intentions.

Yes. Some time ago. Circumstances took me to TrueNAS Core BSD flavour which is regrettably retrograde, and I am about to rejoin the cleaner experience but the transition is .. scary. Making a smaller kernel is off to one side of my main intent which is to NOT lose my existing ZFS state!

Wasn't this a wartime/poverty-times coffee substitute as well?

Never played with kernel mods via packages but very tempted to start.

I have hopes of a path to a radically smaller kernel and loadables for the things not integrated by default. The end would be a path to a kernel Makefile specifying the minimum set, so a path from loadable to static, but with smaller state than generic and smaller critical dependency size.

I like this, and respect the craft which went into making it. I still think an immersive 3D model you can interact with may be more functional to illustrate mechanisms.

The room of clockwork/ratchet mechanisms in "Musee des arts et metiers" in Paris is fantastic.

Absolutely the best fictional story of the genre. Lovingly made, with nuance and some sadness: Diana Rigg, real life mother of Rachael Stirling, (who was cast as her daughter in this series) died during its later series, reflected in plots.

The theme music by Johnny Flynn and Dan Michaelson is perfect.

For OS which fit. Some now exceed the old SD card sizes.

Ferry pilots do hazardous work. As a layman I consider it not far removed from test pilot. Think about being the ones to go up in a repaired damaged aircraft to get it home.

I wonder if the Gates foundation would fund deployment especially in sub Saharan Africa. One shot treatments can overcome repeat shot resistance and lack of capital to maintain a chain over continued drugs, which is partly making TB persist.

Wonderful resource. Decades ago I tried to teach myself with a school edition of Caeser on Gaul and a dictionary. I gave up very quickly.

Very important to read the caveats. They can't stop some snooping and they can't stop black hole routing.

I like this but view it through a different lens to "without JavaScript" or "without flash"

Nroff without Ms macros. Raw troff. TeX not latex. To me that's what "without css" analogizes to. Well.. less functional perhaps.

Same as the author?

Wasn't miniaturisation of photos used to get airmail out of the Paris commune in 1871? So less than 20 years after this.

My hand does not shrink. Try holding and using a phone as thick as a credit card compared to one 5mm thick and ask yourself which feels better.

Ie, I agree totally with your sentiment

Do you trust the bios or UEFI enough to reinstall via unwritable media, you downloaded independently? Was it a Locked boot state? Does it have a locked reinstall image?

Checksums are your friend. If you had a checksum over the post install bios state you can verify reinstalling.

If not, remove the hard drive/ssd media and reconstruct elsewhere.

Not to be picky, but they could be on a par. There doesn't have to be a massive difference in this regard. Jails are well established, and well understood. I prefer BSD solutions and I run jails and Linux kvm.
