I read it originally from a poster on a privacy/security reddit who was reporting their personal experiences. It isn't the most reliable source but in this context I consider it worth accounting for anyway, as what the person described experiencing is both possible and plausible. For anyone who is serious about preventing these sort of privacy breaches, the open wifi vector should absolutely be considered and guarded against if possible (easy but less comprehensive approach would be to see if there is an airplane mode on TV, harder but more reliable is to physically disable or shield the wifi module on the TV itself).
How does that logically follow? It seems obvious to me that if every choice is going to piss people off then you simply disregard that as a factor and then make the best choice possible. If that had been their decision process and status quo was the best choice on the merits then that would be perfectly reasonable. That was not, however, the process they described in their blog, instead they remained entirely focused on the one issue that they should have ignored.
They did pick a solution that pisses off a large portion of their user base, that's exactly what choosing to do nothing means when attempting to fix the most complained about issue with your language. Doing nothing is a choice too after all.
I see it as a pretty clear sign of dysfunction in the project unfortunately. Being unable to reach an actionable decision to improve on the most disliked part of the language (I'm personally ambivalent, I find that the repetitive error handling quickly fades into the background, but I also really love the ? operator in rust) is a bad sign.
basedpyright includes some nice features that Microsoft has otherwise gated behind the closed source Pylance. There's also (in development) ty from Astral that I'm pretty excited for (ruff and uv have made writing python so much better for me).
I tried, and failed, to get into audio books for years. Then I listened to Dungeon Crawler Carl narrated by Jeff Hayes and what an absolute delight it was. There's no way I would've gotten even 10 minutes in if it was one of those soulless AI voices instead.
That's my understanding as well, with some "Roman" origin claimed, possibly as propaganda given how the Nazi party liked connecting themselves to ancient Rome as some kind of claim to legitimacy.
I'd love to be able to add the Bellamy salute inspiration bit in when I do have this conversation with folks, but I'd need a better source before I do.
Zero argument on the larger point of Hitler's idolization of America (the worst bits), quite familiar with it already. Hitler also admired Jim Crow laws and wrote about them specifically.
My point is that I've never encountered a reliable source to the specific claim that the Nazi salute took inspiration from the Bellamy salute, rather than being coincidentally similar. The wiki page linked even purports the origin of the Nazi salute to be the "Roman salute", albeit itself based on bad history.
It's a point I'd love to be able to make when having this same argument with folks, but I'm not going to tell people that the Nazi salute was based on the Bellamy salute without a better source than a Wikipedia article that claims otherwise.
Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazi Germans adopted a salute which was very similar, which originated with the so-called Roman salute, a gesture falsely attributed to ancient Rome.
Do you know of any other accounts that would support the Bellamy salute as being the inspiration for the Nazi salute, apart from looking similar?
Except no one is entitled to talent either, and that's the unspoken presumption unpinning all of this. The fact that the entire technology is built off of the unethical use of other's art just reinforces the entitlement of it all.
There are plenty of things in a normal home that can cause serious signal attenuation (just installed new energy efficient windows? whoops! those IR blocking coatings severely attenuate microwave signals too). Poor AP placement is a very common cause of "slow wifi" and has nothing to do with your internet uplink.
If you extract a key from a proprietary client to decrypt a private API, it definitely is illegal. If you do this as a corporation, it would also be easy to detect by abnormal usage patterns tied to your account and presents you as a nice big set of pockets to get sued.
Just screen scraping isn't illegal, but is fragile as fuck and will break at the worst time and you have no ability to implement version control to manage it.
