Yeah, I was on 4chan as a 16yo-20yo regular lurker starting back in 2004; never an active poster, just commenting randomly and joining in conversations on various boards. It was a decent anonymous community, sometimes I'd wander over to /b/ and it would be like walking past an apartment building at night and seeing completely random (sometimes disturbing) things going on through all of the windows; lurking on /b/ was the online equivalent of being an active peeping tom in a neighborhood without curtains.

When moot sold the domain a few years ago to a former 2chan admin, I noticed it barely changed. But I haven't really visited much since 2009 or so...
What you are describing is a Technocracy. And unfortunately only ever worked in Superman: Red Son haha
How to Level Up Yourself
I've been waiting for this for years. Good job convincing Mozilla to do this! Good idea to standardize the spec, too.

I hope they give a good name to this new super-private mode (which actually isn't too bad of a name, either).

I also hope they don't just implement a "more private" mode in Firefox, but also a more hardened mode for Tor. The Tor mode in Firefox should use the strictest possible sandboxing technologies available to them from the operating system (file system virtualization, etc).

I'm even talking about those new fancy hypervisor-based micro-VMs in Windows 10, which I believe they are called Krypton containers, and it's what Edge uses within the Application Guard context. Although if the users have to enable Hyper-V/Micro-VMs first in Windows, then maybe this hardening mechanism should be optional, but encouraged. Otherwise, it should probably be the default.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-containers-will-transform-...

Oh, and this hardened mode should use a different process for every tab/extension, too, by default, just like Chrome does. I still don't think Mozilla's "hybrid" approach makes it as secure as Chrome (which is why it's a hybrid/compromise for lower memory usage).

I completely agree about the anonymity. That is really the core of 4chan and what I find appealing about it. Everything that is said there is for the sake of the thing being said and not about building yourself up as a persona.

There needs to be other sites that don't have usernames in any way. Even if you attempt to ignore it, it somehow is always relevant. Somewhere such as Reddit in particular always comes down to being a popularity contest and it will skew what people are willing to say in order to get the most likes.
Can you write down in pseudocode exactly what you're suggesting? As in db.write(sha256(email)) or whatever.
They're ignoring the fact that much of current internet culture also originated there.
haha, thanks. I realised almost instantly but just too late to edit it to facets.
There is nothing illegal in 4chan, and if there is, it gets removed quickly.
I run across 'Binging with babish' but word 'binging' always turned me off, so I would skip it. What got my wife and I to try some different cooking was chef John with foodwishes.com
The use of HSTS is a way to suggest to your clients that they use SSL for that domain - for all requests within a time span (which could be "forever").

If anything, the vendors you mention should be applauded for taking that step towards a more secure distribution of updates. Not enforcing SSL makes malware injection through updates way way easier.

Debian introduced HTTPS repos a while back as an option, but not by default. Other distros already offer it.
I disagree. I think it is a feature that Congress does not reflect electorates. Even under first-past-the-post Congress is much saner than electorates.

For years Unification Church tried to get representation in South Korean congress. They failed, but votes show that they would have succeeded under proportional representation. Proportional representation enables extremist parties.
domestic social anxiety that these tools/weapons will just as likely be used to target US citizens. in this political climate it seems tone deaf to ignore those concerns.
Another Defense Agency to Tap CIA's Commercial Cloud
And as an added benefit, in Presidential elections, low populations states wield less power than they do now. With the current number of representatives, votes in CA and TX count less than those in SD and MN.
I cannot make much sense of your comment. But let me expand on my original comment and tell this.

The only charitable work that I consider genuine is the one that you does not know about. When you read about the work of a person 'x' of a foundation in papers/media, their work cease to be charity. It is just that the person is gaining something, in return, other than "feeling good" you mention. Superficially, or in other words, as shallow as public perception goes, it will appear as benevolent, and often times, it can be. But there is nothing that guarantees it, since the end result is not of benevolence, but something materialistic or sinister.
You would need a lot of money to pay these reps though :k
Humans react, analyze, and communicate at the same speed we did in 2000. Our tools may have gotten better, but that only cuts down on part of the process.

Automated processes can only mitigate so many edge cases. Even then, humans need to be involved, and that slows things down.
> Most of society generally agrees not to participate in chemical warfare.

because of uncontrollable collateral damage. Same with mines that can't be deactivated.

Drones, on the other hand, promises precise strike, with little to no collateral damage.

If killing of "enemy combatants" can't be stopped, why not make it as precise and accurate as possible, and prevent collateral damage?
We have observed reality to draw conclusions from. Regardless of political affiliation, would anyone really argue that special interests haven't taken over the political process in the US, and made significant inroads in most if not all of the industrialized democracies throughout the world?
I think it's fine for private individuals to do it (though I disagree with their choice), but not to claim that it's evidence-based Effective Altruism while doing so - it is an emotionally-led value judgment, just like donating to my local dog shelter would be (which I understand others may disgree with). That said, I do recognise now that effectivealtruism.org does not represent the entirety of the movement; I have no fault with what GiveWell are doing.
On the other hand, a 35,000-member House would undoubtedly be too large for more than a small handful of important members to actually debate anything. Think of the PRC National People's Congress (setting aside that it would probably be powerless at any size..!), but 10 times as large: all the work in the 3,000-strong NPC is done by a standing committee of only 150.

Redesigning the Economy Airline Seat
It's "extremely lazy ahead of time compiled", is one way I've described the compilation model, since you're basically never executing code in an interpreted fashion (usually jits let you do either). Also, typically jit's choice of when to but may be non-deterministic, or deterministic but difficult to understand. When Julia chooses to compile is pretty easy to understand
> poor analogous journalism on the part of WIRED.

Has Wired ever been known for good journalism? It's pretty much always been tabloid level: shallow articles on most subjects with pompous headlines.
Their argument seems to suggest that I should roll my own openssl, for "risk management".

I mean, these projects typically have thorough tests.
Was the article for you or an audience, what outcome are you trying to achieve, does your decision still hold true?
Historically, the primary tactic of organised armies was to attack the enemy's
infrastructure, including their civilian base. For instance, in ancient times,
military campaigns typically ended with the winning side pillaging and razing
the defeated enemy's city and taking its civilian population as slaves (the
ones who were docile enough- the rest were put to the knife). That was the
case for the more merciful campaigners. Others simply slaughtered everyone and
burned everything (e.g. the Mongols).

In recent years, we have this notion of battlefield morality, where armies are
supposed to fight each other and an invading force is expected to occupy the
enemy's territory _without_ proactively harming its civilians. Whether this is
actually achieved in practice or not is a different matter (it is not-
civilian populations are still the ones that bear the brunt of any invasion).

The thing is, modern morality leans very strongly away from attacking
civilians with militaries. Again, whether this is at all possible in practice
is a completely different issue, but what is certainly not equivocal, or
"arguable" is that civilians must not be attacked deliberately.

You will notice for instance that even when the US bombs weddings or other
civilian targets (it's usually the US) they never, ever, under any
circumstances try to justify the killings. Instead, they explain the civilian
deaths as a mistake and try to explain the mistake (the wedding participants
were firing their AK-47s into the air as per custom, the bride's gown looked
like an Islamic oriflame, the groom had a suspiciously long beard, or
something equally absurd).

In other words, you might consider that bombing a wedding to kill an enemy
lieutenant visiting it is "arguable"- but you are very certainly into a
minority.

And like I say, that's some very dangerous arithmetic. We don't accept that
innocent people should suffer in order to harm a legitimate target. You seem
to be arguing that it's just a matter of how many innocents and how many
legitimate targets we're talking about. There can clearly be no definitive
answer, which opens the gates for a lot of what we currently recognise as war
crimes.

Edit: removed a bit about genocide, to avoid further misunderstandings. Apologies.
>>For years, James Gosling, author of the first version of Emacs that ran on Unix (the ancestor of GNU Emacs)

Then I discovered that Gosling's Emacs did not have a real Lisp. It had a programming language that was known as ‘mocklisp’, which looks syntactically like Lisp, but didn't have the data structures of Lisp. So programs were not data, and vital elements of Lisp were missing. Its data structures were strings, numbers and a few other specialized things.

Pony is a slang word in UK, not great choice for name.
Summary: grouchy suburban dad who realizes he isn't cool anymore shakes fist at rebellious neighborhood kids, shouting that they need to grow up.

Why is it that whenever a mainstream site like Wired pumps out an article looking down their noses at some "problematic" online community, it's immediately obvious that the author has never been part of said community and instead bases their overly simplistic views on an hour of research.
You will be surprised but I don't have a gaming console, my TV is an old bulky tube one, and the last laptop I bought (and still use) was a netbook for under $300. That's exactly why I said I would not spend thousands of dollars - I do spend _some_ money on my hobbies but it's nowhere near the sums that expensive watches are traded for.

And when you say vegetarian, do you mean vegan? I don't know what real Indian food is, but the Indian food I have seen (and enjoyed tremendously) always had dairy/butter/ghee in it (maybe with the exception of dal(sp?)). Which is hilarious considering the whole holy cow thing.

>Assuming that "rich" means "don't need to work at all, for the rest of your life, to keep a roof over your head and food on your table," none of what you listed require being rich.

Yup, I believe that's their point. If you realize the reason you want to be rich can be had for less cost than actually becoming rich, you can save yourself a lot of time and stress.

Anecdotally, I cut my salary by 60% this year to directly pursue what I wanted, instead of saving to do it years later. I suppose I may regret it some day, but at this point I'm confident it was the right choice.
