Freight and air travel don’t involve cocaine as a standard. VPN and SSL do include encryption as standard.
It’s not an analogy, it’s pointing out that encryption is more common than some think.

It's not really about the specifics of what the bytes represent, it's whether the transportation and processing of those bytes makes Cloudflare money. Either now, or a likelyhood of future earnings.
That said, not using Druid for a DAW project is a fine choice. Doubly so for a new project, as it was correctly pointed out in the article that Druid is now in maintenance mode.

> The problem is, while it’s easy to lie to yourself, Jim isn’t fooled.
While you claim:
> So in order to fool Jim, don't think about doing that whole big thing you need to do. Just tell yourself you'll only work on it a little bit for, say, ten minutes.
I will say that Jim can sometimes be fooled to a ridiculous degree.
When I’m out for a run and the going gets tough, Jim really wants me to stop. However I can just tell Jim that OK, I will stop but not before I reach the next light post, which is super close. Once I reach it, I’ll just shift the goal to the next light post.
This works wonders and I can keep going for miles. Often giggling to myself how easily Jim is fooled, as I’m literally thinking in that moment that I’ll just keep shifting the goal.
That's a big no. What's actually happening is that TSMC is building a new factory in Arizona, including training a brand new US workforce. It remains to be seen whether it can even be done. Toyota famously failed with a similar attempt in Fremont, California.
It's a question of whether TSMC is successful because of some sort of strategy that is compatible with American work culture, or do the actual Taiwanese workers play a significant part in their success? Unanswered thus far.
The partnership with Porsche/Bugatti is quite valuable. They also dominate/exceed in terms of car performance, if not sales.
You're making it sound like they're just another Nikola with a lot of investment and only empty promises. In reality they have real products and real manufacturing, impressive results, and giant partnerships.
> All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.
So it seems at best there is a need for a middle man who gets the AGPL licensed version that can then propagate it further under pure AGPL.
This is true and annoying, but only with regular certificates. The more expensive EV certificates bypass this “well known” check.
Non-technical person will copy-paste a folder of documents to make a backup before editing a file. A crude form of version control. I've seen this method lead to the consumption of hundreds of gigabytes for duplicate content, because the folders contain a lot of auxiliary data like PDFs and JPEGs.
Technical person will run npm install and get a massive node_modules directory that is almost identical to the node_modules directory in another project.
Windows Explorer is also slow for an unknown reason.
Doing file operations through the API with Real-Time Protection turned off is several orders of magnitude faster in the case of small files. It's crazy stuff.
> Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU Project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible—just enough to cover the cost. This is a misunderstanding.
> Actually, we encourage people who redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can.
So this “no selling” talk is defintely a diverging perspective and does not apply to all open source licenses. In fact I think it can’t apply to any, because commercial use is a freedom that would be restricted if it were true.

Is being born in 1900-01-01 still reasonable? The linked document remains extremely vague about what is reasonable.
If you have a Pro version of Windows there is a group policy setting for it. [1]
If you have Home, you can achieve the same effect by manually tweaking the registry. [2]

Knowing about train tracks is not that different from knowing about magnetic poles or the common habitats of various bears. All these pieces of data are fairly basic to an educated person. Both the polar bear riddle and my variation of it depend on this body of knowledge.
If you don't incorporate outside context at all, then things start to get confusing quite quickly. What even is a bear? That information wasn't provided! What color is it? Well, what even is color. None were defined. See, it gets ridiculous fast. You clearly need to depend on knowledge that is not presented. Knowing about different colors or different bear habitats is common. Neither needs to be defined in the question.
In the end, both of these bear riddles test whether the answerer considered more than one degree of separation. The ability to consider second order effects and beyond [1] is a sign of an intelligent person. Not every human passes.

> in the case of riddles, it doesn't matter that there are no trains in the Arctic in reality
That's quite the claim. Riddles aren't constrained to reality? Well then the polar bear one can be answerd with purple too.
The article has:
Q: A house has windows on all the four sides, all pointing south. A bear walks by the window. What colour is the bear?
A: Not possible to determine based on the info provided.

I tried with GPT-4:
Q: A train is speeding down the track at 110 km/h. The train has five carts. Each cart has seven windows. Each window has two people watching out of them. They all see a bear walking outside. What is the likely color of the bear?
A: The color of the bear in this scenario would most likely be white because this riddle is a variation of a classic question involving polar bears. Polar bears are typically found in the Arctic, where their white fur provides camouflage in the snowy environment. The information about the train, its speed, the number of carts, windows, and people watching is irrelevant to the color of the bear.
Q: How many train tracks are there in the arctic?
A: There are no train tracks in the Arctic. [...]

It seems that GPT-4 is ready for that specific window based question and incorrectly thinks that my question was also looking for polar bears.
It could be a way to emphesize remote work.
It could be a way to show that they're stupid for not working out of SF, or it could be away to show that they're smart for not working out of SF.
Really, anything goes here. Up to the reader to decide.
That sounds like air temperature. Surface temperature gets way hotter. It’s well known you can cook an egg on desert sand.

It's similar in neighboring Estonia. However the reasons are more than just willingness to work for peanuts. These people are also very willing to break the law.
A lot of the workers are in the country with either tourist or student visas and aren't allowed to work. These delivery companies couldn't even legally hire them. However the way the law works, in the case of contractors, it is the contractor's responsibility to make sure they follow the law. A lot of these people don't even understand that. They just sign up on their phone and get money. What law?
Similar case with taxation. Employers need to pay a lot of taxes per employee. With contractors that requirement is shifted. All the taxes are now the contractor's duty. The delivery contractors, who are not paid a lot in the first place, aren't exactly going out of their way to give away half their earnings. This got to be such a big problem that the government actually had to pass a new law, which came into effect January 2023. At the end of the year, all these delivery companies will need to supply the tax office a full report with how much money they paid each contractor and the contractor's info. Then the tax office can see if the accurate taxes are being paid or not.
For a L3 example there's one repo [1] that's kind of still up but not really. Still enough to show that it happened. L1 bypass has also been on GitHub briefly. However these things get deleted rather fast for obvious reasons.

First, Google heavily censors results nowadays. You will get much more results with say Yandex.
Second, TPB is no longer the best public torrent host. For public sites rarbg and 1337x are better alternatives.
Also, for anyone actually doing this kind of stuff regularly, the key is to enter the world of private sites. There is more than enough public discussion around them on sites like reddit. https://old.reddit.com/r/trackers/
So, it's still really easy. Your knowledge (like TPB) is just outdated. However for people who have equivalent modern knowledge, things are simple.
The people breaking the systems and the people doing most of the pirating are different.
DRM breaking is a fun challange to some people. You can find these kinds of people breaking all sorts of things. Browser sandbox escapes, remote code execution etc. The mindset is well described in the article here as I can only solve a problem if somebody else implies that I can't. It's a fun challenge! Plus if you do it before others, you get to feel really superior.
The actual pirating is however done by different people. Usually initially by close acquaintances of the DRM breaker, but the methods tend to spread/leak.
