I wrote a compiler for an ObjC-like language (with less brackets), which can produce binaries for any of {Mac, Windows, Linux, WASM, Arm A9 (Zynq), m68k or 6502} running on any of {Mac, Windows, Linux}. So you can produce a dev-signed Mac binary on a Linux box. I’m just going through extending that output range to mobile {Android, iOS} and I’ll release it as open source.

The compiler docs for the language (xc) are at https://compile-xc.org/ - feel free to browse.

I didn’t think getting the signing working for Mac/iOS was terribly hard.

Which doesnt “fix” the underlying issue - the browser is leaking data about you against your knowledge and permission.

That sounds like a flaw in the browser. That should probably be fixed.

Jellyfish that could concentrate heavy metals from the water they live in.
You would let them breed and clean up water in an area, then release a pheromone to get them to jump into your harvester ship, render them and get the contaminants.

They were released in an area with an old nuclear waste dump, so some of the stuff they were concentrating was potentially fissile.
Especially so when the pheromone told them to go up the water intakes at a power plant...

Freenet is also based on middle-out compression.

No. Trying to push 30TB into Freenet will be interpreted as an attack on the network by other peers and they'll disconnect from your peer.

Freenet is better viewed as a communication medium than a storage medium. Data is prioritized according to demand, somewhat like an LRU cache. You can't upload 30TB and expect the network to preserve it for you.

On liability, running a Freenet peer is more like running network infrastructure that automatically routes and caches other people's traffic than intentionally publishing it. US law explicitly recognizes this distinction in the DMCA's provisions for transitory network communications and system caching. We discuss this in more detail in the FAQ.

You obviously haven't tried Freenet. You can join our room on River and you'll see no spam, no fraud, no hate speech, none of that.

Decentralized doesn't mean unmoderated. Systems built on Freenet can be moderated however their creators and communities want. River is moderated.

The difference is that nobody running one service gets to decide what everyone else is allowed to run.

You can piggy back on the civilian infrastructure without ever exposing devices - just require all devices to access anything beyond the local network via a specific router, which pushes all traffic over a VPN, and nothing goes out over the naked internet as its all dropped if its not going over the VPN. Then all you need to ensure are thoroughly audted and hardened are those routers - everything else cant hit the internet.

Right now, it is legal for third parties like Flock to collect surveillance data and offer it for sale to anyone.
The third party doctrine makes it presumed OK for third parties to give or sell their data to the Government.
This is rapidly eroding Fourth Amendment guarantees in the US.

One possible way out would be to specify in federal law that data that can enable mass surveillance must be protected - leaking it gets you fined, government doesn't get it without a warrant.

The HIPAA laws are a potential model here - they basically say data related to health care can only be shared between certain businesses, and only with the permission of the person the data is about.

Im intimately familiar with range-payload charts.

You have to take my sentence as a whole - I say that its both low density and premium heavy. The low density is because of the range-payload drop off, the premium heavy is because Qantas will make more money with the premium cabin, so thats where the bulk of the weight allowance goes.

The airlines reputation isnt going anywhere, DVT is a known risk on a lot of long haul currently in operation, yet you dont hear anything about airlines getting negative PR about it. This route will be no different. Its a bit longer, but not massively.

Qantas already have it set at around 40% premium seating, with around 140 economy or economy plus seating at 33 inch pitch, and 98 premium seats (first, business and premium economy).

Its a low density, premium heavy cabin precisely because thats what the route demands - they have structured it around what premium seating they can fill, and what economy they might fill. Its no secret that airlines make almost all of their passenger profit from premium seats, and economy is often just about break even, so theres no point in cramming more economy in for this route.

Yes, its a stunt - but it also shows off the capabilities of the aircraft perfectly.

Boeing dis something wimilar years ago with the 777.

Then the health issues are on the passenger in that case, the airline provided facilities to use but the passenger chose to not use it. But the facilities were provided, thats the important thing.

Its a route proving flight, part of the A350-1000ULRs certification - and Toulouse is Airbuses biggest base of operations, where the A350 production line is based.

The aircraft was going there to be painted and handed over to Qantas after certification is granted.

When it goes into airline service, Qantas will be flying it from Melbourne and Sydney to London Heathrow.
