Many concepts for permanent settlements on Mars or the moon envision tunneling under the surface to achieve radiation shielding.

Of course it would help to develop better treatments for radiation exposure.
For this to work, you'd convince millions of people to use your forked protocol. A network that only you and your friends use doesn't give you much anonymity.
I think what you're saying is correct when it comes to perception with our senses, the kind of knowledge we share with the other higher animals. However, there is a higher level of knowledge that is unique to humans, which is rational in nature and can come up with certain knowledge. We can know certain mathematical and logical truths with certainty, such as 2 + 2 = 4 and that A and not A cannot both be true. We may not get an accurate count of cows in the field because one is hidden from view, but we can know with certainty that if we have X cows in field A and Y cows in field B, we have a total of X + Y cows in the two fields.
Dumb question - is the supposition then that HTTPS is completely broken as well? Or is it merely that the NSA will be able to see who tor users are talking to, if not what they say?

No. 3 months ago I started using NoScript and my life has gotten so much easier on the internet. I hate it less now. Usually you can get away without Javascript, and if not, it only takes a second or two to fix. The biggest risk is Javascript. You are literally blindly executing code somebody else wrote on your compute for a website you may or may not trust.

One thing I would like to figure out is how can I 'trust' JS for google on google maps (required to work), but4 not anywhere else? It seems like Noscript is per domain but not based on what page you are on.
Also how your end user configures their router (buffer bloat would be compounded here I think)
When someone breaks into your servers, it's still kind of bad. Consider, for one, that the admins risk their laptops getting pwned when getting logs from said boxes. Easy to get from "one compromised server" to bigger problems this way.
Evolution will ultimately prevail; it just may not include us. In all eras of mass species die off, eventually new niches created new opportunity. Even with idiot humans messing up stuff, in a long enough timeframe, evolution will eventually route around us.
I do mean Common Lisp. I think that it'd be preferable for Guix to use it because Lisp is more production-ready than Scheme: it standardises things that Scheme — even R7R2 large — doesn't; it's a pragmatic production language into which a lot of experience went. And of course there's CLOS, which is absolutely awesome. Even better, a well-written Guix-Lisp would be portable between multiple Common Lisp implementations; it's extraordinarily difficult to write a real system in Scheme, precisely because Scheme is so under-specified: really, Guix isn't written in Scheme; it's written in Guile Scheme.

Scheme is neat, and pretty, and very elegant, but it's not (even in its largest, most recent version) really meant for serious use on large systems. And I don't agree that it's a Lisp: it has only a single namespace, it breaks (car nil) → nil and (if nil "true" "false") → "false".

I'm aware that rms dislikes Lisp and wants Scheme to be GNU's extension language; IMHO he's wrong, and his attitude has really held back GNU, Emacs and the Lisp world at large. Had it not been for that attitude, we might have a Common Lisp Emacs by now, we might have a Common Lisp GNU userland by now, we might have a GNU which really is Not Unix, instead of a mess of C, security bugs & hacks.
Damn! My work machine is cut off from outside networks and restricted to the versions of packages on their repo. Guess I can't use it. :/
Relatively undergeneralized as the entirety of the internet's traffic is collected by various agencies, and singling out the NSA seems rather hamfisted.
Moreover it lazily conflates the exploits (javascript/http/websocket unmasking) and implies it was an intentional vulnerability in the protocol itself.
Yeah, C major (C/F/G) can be a bit awkward on guitar, the F barre chord is a painful hurdle for new players to get over.

A major (A/D/E) is probably the easiest key to play. G major is arguably the most useful, because you have access to all the important chords in open position: G, Am, C, D, Em.

The easiest way is to just run a fuckton of exit nodes, and do traffic analysis. With a $20 million annual budget to buy commercial hosting services/colo from ISPs worldwide I could easily have >50% of all high bandwidth exit nodes in existence. That's chump change for a national intelligence agency of a five eyes nation.

But the point of the “cover up your camera” intervention is that it’s “out of band” from your system software. Even if there’s a root/administrator-level compromise, light just won’t get past the piece of paper/cardboard onto the sensor. I don’t believe there’s an analagous intervention for the microphone.

How much are you gaining by having multiple interfaces, with each one going to separate machine, instead of bonding them and using a switch?

Basically you dedicate 1/N to each server, instead of allocating it dynamically on demand.
I live in Japan where we have a paltry 100V. In our apartment it's made by for by having lots of (20A) circuits - 3 for the (small) kitchen alone [which uses gas for the stove anyway]. Total of 14 breakers for a small 3 bedroom + living + kitchen apartment.

In 3 years we've only tripped a breaker once - running a microwave, toaster oven and dishwasher all off the same outlet at once.

Obviously I can only speak for myself but there's no way I'm going to do that. My feed aggregator (Feedbin) serves as my daily inbox of web content. From there and since many feeds are truncated I'll open specific articles that seem interesting to me. Truncation is fine, I understand that commercial sites need a way to get visitors.

However not providing an RSS feed at all is a good way to miss out on my page view.

Who needs these chips? I'm honestly curious. I've never worked on something that needed as much single-thread performance as possible and couldn't be parallelized; I'd love to know what industry will use them (and what industry would buy a small number of chips at auction prices).
Probably because it often is too couched in ideals that seem for lack of better words childish - they already know that it is backed by a monopoly on violence and power vacuums tend to make any idyllic situations rare and short lived so there is little interesting there even to avowed anarchists. They're aware and usually consider it the lesser of evils unless things go /seriously/ wrong.

Better received are nuance and reality bound arguements. Talking about viable schemes to de-hiarch institutions and their limitations is far more interesting.

For instance one more viable concept is the "when everybody is the police nobody is" - a situation where everyone has the same policing powers and a tribunal legal system would be very radical but it is interesting conceptually to explore.

Specialization still produces premiums so one could discuss in said hypothetical if there was a "security fund" that people pay in and could get paid by consent for operating as a dedicated policeman despite lacking any privledged position legally. Even if one thinks the whole operation would probably be doomed to failure by collapse or hierarchy entrenchment it gives plenty to discuss in facts and opinions.
The growing body of anecdotal evidence, including the disappearance of insects at the bottom of the food pyramid in more than one area, suggests that it is now too late to reverse these dramatic changes to the earth's biosphere and humankind's ability to extract food from it.

Let us hope that as these dramatic changes start affecting more and more people in concrete ways, we, human beings, will search for and develop technological solutions that will allow us to survive and thrive in a changing environment.
Since I realized that I never actually use my laptop's built-in camera or microphone, I disabled them both at a bios level and made sure that the necessary drivers are not installed. If I need to get on a video or voice call with my laptop (once in a blue moon), I have a USB webcam and microphone that work just fine.

Growing up in Norway, we were taught from primary school age that we could go pretty much whenever we wanted outside of urban settlements, as long as we behaved sensibly (no stepping on crops, no littering, ensuring you close gates to avoid letting animals loose), and that we could forage for berries or mushrooms without having to ask anyone for permission (fishing and hunting rights do have restrictions). It made it very strange to go elsewhere and realize how much land is fenced in and inaccessible to the public many places.

Despite all the media attention about memory training, there's actually little evidence this stuff works.

Either memory is a direct function or IQ or due to 'savant abilities' and not something that an be replicated. There are no reputable studies controlling for IQ that replicate this.
Even switches like Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN are getting into 100 EUR range, (if you are fine with running optic cables instead of metallic).
Thanks that seems interesting. What kind of information you are learning with this method and how exactly you go about doing it? I feel brute force learning is very important before diving deep.

I am trying to evolve my personal framework and I feel us starting with "Why" type questions is counterproductive and frustruating. Trying to ask why is something before even asking what is something is poor use of time.

To understand the complex system, I feel going from what to how to why makes much more sense than asking why questions and just getting overwhelmed.

- What Phase
Once we know how things work on mechanical level. Asking what each component is build of and what are its parts.

- How Phase
This phase is like taking a leap of faith and comitting the steps to memory. At the end of this phase a big picture of how various components work and hang together.

- Why Phase
This phase should be reserved for things we want to deeply understand.

> From that point you can go in at least two directions, one would be something like a Turing test of the fake cow... beyond a certain point it’s a matter of semantics as to whether it’s a real cow or not, or you could say that your “justified true belief” had to apply to the total state of the field. If you believed there was both a cow model and a cow behind it, that woukd be justified, but the existence of the cow behind the model would not justify incorrect belief that the model was a real cow, in the sense of not admitting uncertainty over the things you see.

You're replacing the model it was criticizing with a different model and then saying that it doesn't say anything interesting about your model, so it's not interesting. It's not an argument that knowledge isn't possible, it was an argument against the traditional definition of knowledge as it was almost universally understood at the time.

Do you know about the cat in Dirty Dicks? Back around the 1980's they had a pub cat. Until one day it met it's end. The patrons decided it would be honoured by being nailed to the wall above the bar.

At this point in time, any mass settlement in space won't involve going down another gravity well.

Pulling stuff out of a gravity well is enough work as it is. Mostly you will have people living and working in neighborhoods, in space, just like you have cities and lot of empty unused land between them on earth.

Like space cities. Then cluster of space cities, then may be a region full of such clusters etc.
>Humans need lots of gravity to develop

I don't think reproduction of vertebrates has ever been tried in space. Definitely not humans. It simply isn't known how growing up in moon gravity or no gravity at all affects people. They most likely would never be able to visit the Earth, but maybe they can live healthy lives regardless. Or maybe it's impossible and the fetus dies in the womb. It simply isn't known.
The issue is that we have an incredible dearth of knowledge about the effects of low gravity compared to either normal gravity or microgravity. If the ISS centrifuge had actually flow the situation might be different but when considering settlement of either the Moon or Mars we desperately need more information about how low gravity affects biological systems.

From the Apollo missions we do know that humans can survive for three days on the Moon, but given that humans can survive for months in orbit this isn't a surprise. But what are the effects on animal gestation? On plant growth? As far as I'm aware there weren't any plants on any of the Apollo missions, though I believe they did experiments with lunar regolith on Earth.

Good grief, you've been completely brainwashed by the media. Grieving? Over dirt?

The climate has always been in a state of flux. For as far back as e.g. ice core records can show, the temperature and weather and atmospheric gas concentrations have gone up and down and all over the place, for millions of years.

Despite that, here we are, supposedly at the highest point yet demonstrated of intelligent civilization, our species having overcome all of it--and there are members of said species like yourself, who are acting completely irrationally, against all historical evidence.

If our ancestors thought like you, they'd have all frozen to death in caves, and we wouldn't even exist. "Hey, Ug, baby, wanna start a fire and get it on?" "Nah, I'm grieving cause the wooly mammoth outside sneezed and blew some dirt into the lake. We're all gonna die anyway, so why bother having kids? Might as well go ahead and freeze to death now here in this cave."

Get a hold of yourself, before it's too late for you to make use of the limited years you have on this planet. Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone.

Seriously, now, you might actually be clinically depressed. It's very hard to think rationally or overcome irrational feelings when depressed. You're on the Internet, so google up the signs of clinical depression. If any of them apply to you, go get some help from someone trained to provide it. There's no need to suffer helplessly when we have tools available to help. Do something now, because no one else can truly help you until you decide to start helping yourself.
there is no peer reviewed study that corroborates the claims made in that book. it's mostly a gimmick. it's like trying to learn how to become taller, which s absurd but not much different from learning how to suddenly become good at memorizing stuff.
There is no friction in space, so things can move much faster and stay there longer.

Sending a drone to shitistan at 7.8 KM/second is impossible to do in Earth's atmosphere with today's technology. Likewise for keeping an object airborne for more than a few tens of hours. In space, things can move quickly and stay up there for quite some time.

See also the high Delta-V experimental craft, such as the X-37, which allow an asset to be in space for extended periods of time but also to adjust their orbit for short-notice action (presumably reconnaissance) at a specific location.
