About time. I like to drive and wish to keep my liberty on the road as much as anyone else but I think it would be easy to send basic just-in-time telemetry to the other neighboring cars to improve cruise control, emergency braking and heavy traffic situations.

The car in front of you could easily send its exact speed, throttle/brake position. If it is following gps, it could broadcast the next turn on its route to help you predict its intentions (turn signals are often lacklusters or too complicated for some drivers)

In traffic, it could help stiffen the elastic by reducing the reaction time either by either telling the driver to get ready or accelerating for them.

The possibilities are infinite once you have a minimum of telemetry.

Interesting. Are we finally reaching the point where ssd are bigger than hdd ?

How many years before price/GB gets better too ?

This is only a short summary. There is a couple of full reports on the main page of their website.

Unfortunately, is is not very interesting because the study seems to rely almost completely on Facebook data. The effects on that platform were pretty predictible.

There are obvious questions left unanswered:

- What was the effect on direct traffic ?

- What was the effect on paid subscriptions ?

- Are people effectively less informed ?

> also often serialises all network and disk on the machine through to one single thread

Do you have more info about this ? I am very interested. Is it impacting SAN fc storage ?

That outage is actually a good argument against going cashless.

The content of the file being served can easily be switched based on the user agent accessing the file (curl vs a browser)

Instead, you shoud wget, review and execute locally or something similar.

Interesting read. Thanks for sharing. Maybe it is by lack of experience, but I always treat tarballs like a loaded gun. I extract then inside an empty subdirectory in my home first just to be sure and then move the data as required. It is no fun having to cleanup the mess left by an incorrect extraction.

Don't forget to brush your teeth before drinking it to get all the flavours.

I am looking at the graphs, and all I see is a substantial influx of new funds into cloud services. Non-cloud investments remain steady but are not experiencing significant growth. What does the volume indicate? Is the cost of on-premises infrastructure rising, or are people simply facing increased computing demands? I wish.

I sincerely hope that owning the entire stack in a private data center won't become exclusive to a select few hyperscalers in the coming years. I am somewhat biased, because I am a Linux admin forna company that has its own datacenters that is migrating to the cloud, but I find it distressing that everyone appears to be migrating to the cloud for reasons that seem dubious, such as "Gartner told me to." Like mentioned at the end of the article, I predict a great loss of knowledge for everything that is not abput the usage of a proprietary api.

This is something that i noticed too while searching for old newegg receipts in my gmail inbox.

I am not a dba but I have successfully tuned a couple of mysql/mariadb servers in the past with the help of Mysqltuner

There is already auto captioning done by YouTube. It would be trivial to plug an ai that generates tags and classify each videos based on the whole content. I am sure they already do that.

Can I run this in a container?

Not everyone tastes them the same. There is a gene that makes you taste more or less the bitterness of PTC (phenylthiocarbamide)

You might as well play the cd at home then.

5 days. This is very short imo.

Is it possible to jailbreak those privacy invading cars?

Is it possible to :

- not subscribe to "on Star" and its equivalents

- unplug the modem in the car

- use the infotainment without sharing data.

What happen if I block the cameras and disconnect the modem antenna ?

Not a single picture of an actual working area.

Probably should have linked to the source that made the efforts to produce the benchmarks: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-downfall-benchmarks

This is interesting to me because I'm currently debating with a friend about the Canadian C-18 bill [1].

One point we are discussing is how news sites should make money. The Internet has really disrupted the business model of news organizations. When I was young, people paid subscriptions to receive the local newspaper at home every day. It was the main source of news for many, like my parents, so it made sense to pay for a subscription. Now, with Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and such, someone can read articles from hundreds of different sources all across the globe. I don't see how anyone would pay a monthly subscription for all those sites. Paying with microtransactions might seem logical, but after reading this article, my only conclusion is that nobody wants to pay for news content nowadays, except maybe for giant organizations like the NYT and others.

Other thoughts: maybe the problem is not with the microtransactions aspect, but more with the fact that someone had to download an app to access the content in question. Do people really discover and read news on their own, or do they read it after someone else shared a link through Facebook, Reddit? Maybe the friction was just too much. I don't know; I have never used the service in question. Perhaps it would have worked if they managed to use cookies or SSO on all those sites instead of an app.

[1] https://www.parl.ca/Content/Bills/441/Government/C-18/C-18_1... TL;DR: The Online News Act lays out a framework that would require digital giants such as Google and Meta to develop agreements with Canadian news sites to provide them with compensation for sharing their online news content through links or other means.

Interesting, I kinda understand since I work for a big org where everything is very slow because of bureaucracy and fear of changes but here the big projects were already forced to use 2fa. It would seem logical to force the contributors to use good security practices right from the start. I would have probably started with those.

Anyway, I don't want to complain. I believe its a good step towards securing the software supply chain.

Keep up the good work.

Why is the 2fa rollout going at such a glacial pace ? In July last year it was announced that the top 1% projects contributors had to use 2fa. It it because of pushback from the developpers, or maybe because it is not as easy it it seems ? I'm just curious, I am in now way involved in this.

The title is correct but not for the same reasons as those mentionned in the article.

telnet was not made for UDP

Use netcat instead if you are not sure which one it is.

I guess it's probably not enough to sustain a long time and there are probably protections in place to prevent that.

Here is a short video showing someone doing almost exactly this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X_2lZqyCmls

Here in Montreal we have a bike rental service (Bixi). You have to return the bike to one of the many bike stations otherwise the meter keeps running. I have never seen a bixi abandonned in the middle of the sidewalk. Instead of banning those scooters, maybe they should simply force the companies to provide designated parking spots and force the users to use them.

In this article, the author is complaining about ads inside the tv's interface and at the end he says that he will continue to use his Apple tv instead. I don't think it means that the tv is showing ads over his Apple tv signal.

wow, even over hdmi...that's messed up. Thanks

what I meant is that if you leave the tv on a different input than the one that has the built-in media player, does the tv can still show you ads and track you ? Is it impossible now to completely avoid the built-in OS ?

Is there a difference between a dumb tv and a smart tv that you leave on hdmi1 input ?

Those articles complaining about ads are always unclear to me.

Are they saying that there is ads even when you switch inputs to a 3rd party device or is it just in the built-in media player?
