Kind of a deceptive video, which might make you think that if no one peed in the pool, there would be no pool smell. Urea is what reacts to create trichloramine, which gives off the smell. But urea, as the video acknowledges, also comes from sweat. Yet they go on to talk about chlorine reacting with urine as being the sole cause of the smell.

They should have gone into what percent of the urea comes from sweat vs. urine.

I agree that it is a more sustainable method of farming to mix crops across growing seasons. However, that is "dealt with" in modern farming by using fertilizers and such -- and as you say, it doesn't scale well.

Organic is certainly a premium product, and where there are consumers that can afford it, it will thrive. Unfortunately it seems to me that right now the cost to produce it is simply too high for it to come out of that premium category and be the norm.

> Elixir is not built on top of Erlang the language. It compiles to the same BEAM VM bytecode.

Actually it is, at a semantic level. Elixir source is reduced to Erlang's abstract syntax tree format, which is represented in Erlang terms. The same Erlang compiler is used to generate BEAM code for both languages. This isn't just a detail - the ramifications of using Erlang semantics permeates the language. But not to the language's detriment in any way.
Wait, are you saying religion-haters have valid strong claims just that they are picking weak examples?

I think you're right that this will flip back and forth; but the key difference in my mind between the process per request model of Apache and friends, and the process per connection model of Erlang is that in Erlang, I can do a million connections/processes per machine, and that would be very unfeasible with Apache.

Both approaches _do_ give me a very straightforward programming environment for isolated processes, although the isolation guarantees are smaller in Erlang. I'd like to think it's easier to break the isolation for cross process communication with Erlang, but that's probably debatable.

In my mind, the Erlang model is validated by the Apache model, but it adds scale in a way that doesn't require a mental flip to event-driven programming (although, beam itself is certainly handling IO through event loops with kqueue or epoll or what have you underneath).

> On the other hand, for centuries it's been recognized that the best antidote to "bad speech" isn't censorship, it's more speech. Don't ban, convince.

For centuries there were fairly large barriers to widely disseminating your speech, and to lots of people having time or ability to pay attention. I think this may have limited the amount of "bad speech" that the truth had to counter.

It's now a lot easier to disseminate speech, and people have more time and ability to consume speech.

I probably encounter more opinions in a day now on any given topic, from people claiming to have above average or expert knowledge on them, than I did in a month a mere 40 years ago.

This may make what worked centuries ago (or even a few decades ago) ineffective today.

In my experience, there are actually networks that throttle certain kinds of traffic. For example, on the WiFi on Blauwnet trains I can connect to my OpenVPN server but WireGuard just doesn't seem to make it through. I assume this is because of a combination of unknown ports + UDP + uncommon protocols.

I think the trick to bypass this kind of nonsense is to use port 443/1194/53 so QoS + firewall rules will still allow the VPN to pass through.

Haven't tested it yet, but in my experience non-default ports only make the problem worse. Most filtering/QoS services are pretty dumb and will just match source and destination ports; most firewalls will just plain ignore everything targeted at port 443 because the moment you start messing with HTTPS, you're in for a world of pain. Because WireGuard uses UDP, it's possible to listen on port 443 even if you're already hosting an HTTPS website. Sadly, you won't be able to use QUIC or HTTP3 if you do, but I don't think that's much of an issue these days.

So gold is so good you will not leave. At one company I worked for, the gold was pretty good, not great. When the layoffs came, about a third of the people said 'Oh thank GOD! I have always hated this'. For what its worth, that was not me, I loved the work, hated some politics.
The only site I've seen break was Burrow ironically enough, couldn't get through the checkout flow which is pretty darn stupid for a purchased product.

Our solution is simple, we've got two SSIDs, one w/ PH, one without. They route to separate VLANs and each VLAN uses a different gateway+DHCP with pihole or standard DNS. Fixing a website that doesn't work is simple as hopping over on another SSID.

We're using UniFi gear for the wifi, they support 4 SSIDs(8 if you split 2.4/5Ghz) per access point and USG made it trivial to setup multiple gateways(now on pfSense but that's a whole nother discussion).

Yet, I find it funny when people also say, in the same breath "omg governments using children as scapegoat for censorship".

Which is it? If you think you can have a 100% success rate you are horribly, stupidly mistaken. You WILL get innocents caught in the crossfire, you WILL see videos removed that are okay, and people WILL cry censorship.

People are demanding a flawless system, that never makes mistakes, that has 100% accuracy to be developed and released in the next week, and yet, we need a "free and open internet" otherwise Reddit gets angry and puts up hundreds of "net neutrality" posts.

Oh, what's that, Article 13 wants upload filters? BOO!! Yet they may catch this type of content.

Nobody likes that idea because it'd "ruin" the internet.

Which is it. This problem can ONLY be fixed with upload filters, potential censorship and mistakes which will affect a number of legit videos.

That okay with you? People seem pretty mad at youtube for their content ID and DMCA, just check r/videos.

This would increase 10 fold with any further automated system designed to attempt to filter certain categories of content.

People will have channels deleted and potentially their Youtube 'careers' ended by a machine. But r/videos hates this.
> Most successful businesses aren't based on revolutionary ideas, but rather improvements to the status quo. The media tends to focus on the revolutionary ideas, so it's easy to think that an idea isn't worth pursuing if it's not groundbreaking. But in my case, email marketing had been around forever when I started GMass but I found an unfulfilled niche and built a business out of it.

This is a really great paragraph. I think the part that I get hung up on is right at the end - how does one actually go about finding an unfulfilled niche? It seems like they are kind of difficult to find almost by virtue of them being unfulfilled.

Another relatively recent example of this is McDonald v Chicago that incorporated the 2nd amendment against the states.

> This regressive change in behaviour (taking away pertinent information for no obvious benefit)

There is a benefit. The benefit is that it's logged, always, and through a mechanism that is the same for every process. It's a trade off. We can argue whether it's a worthwhile trade off, or one that even really needs to exist (is there a reason they don't immediately show an error? I don't know), but to say there is no obvious benefit even after I pointed out this specific benefit in my prior comment is odd.

> People get turned off before they even begin to understand what systemd is trying to do, not because of core reasons, but because of one of the first interactions the average person has with systemd is to make their life harder.

Any change from what existed previously that requires a different way of doing something, whether ultimately better or worse, makes the user's life harder in the short run since they need to learn something new.

That's not to say that's all that's happening here. There appears to be a regression in usability in at least one aspect. That said, I sort of understand why they didn't make it output that info. There have been plenty of times in the past for where sysV has reported a service started, but it actually failed very shortly after start. Generally, figuring out why can be painful, because STDOUT/STDERR have been redirected (or likely sent to /dev/null). Keeping a log of the stdout so you can see what happened on that last service action (and not hope it was logged to a log file, which it sometimes isn't...) is very useful. Outputting that the service started successfully is nice. Outputting that it started successfully when it didn't is misleading and more of a problem. Again, that's a trade-off, where it appears they've decided to favor accuracy over convenience in this case.

That study seems dubious -- they mention that they measured free chlorine with a DPD test, and they also say that they measured chloramines with a colorimeter and the DPD test. This seems quite odd -- the distinguish between free and combined chlorine (which mostly means chloramines), a better test such as FAS-DPD should be used. So I don't see how the study determined what the cause of the problem was, but it certainly spends quite a bit of time explaining how chloramines can be problematic.

Anyway, chloramines can be controlled to some degree. The use of stabilizers (cyanuric acid) can reduce the amount of nitrogen trichloride (the worst chloramine) in the water by a considerable amount. As I understand it, the factors that make the biggest difference, though, are maintaining adequate chlorination and exposure to UV light. UV light (from the sun or a UV lamp) breaks down chloramines. So the best solution is to swim in an outdoor pool :)

(The FAS-DPD test is a standard test kit you can buy from ay reputable dealer. It's a titration, not a colorimetric measurement, so no fancy equipment at all is needed.)

This is why I refuse to upgrade from 1Password 4. Or switch to another product.

I haven't found anything that I can self-host and allows me to have multiple "vaults". And I refuse to keep all my 2FA codes and recovery codes in the same place as the passwords, since that completely defeats the point.

When I asked 1Password about it, their response was that the functionality wouldn't be coming back in 7 because it wasn't a supported configuration -- it's called 1Password so users should only ever be remembering one password!

A well-maintained & chemically balanced pool should not smell under typical circumstances.

I owned a 40,000 gallon in-ground pool and followed a method called the "Trouble-Free Pool method". The only chemical requirements are normal bleach (chlorine) and a pH adjuster. No "shock", no algaecide, no pool store shenanigans. My pool was pristine & sparkling blue, and never smelled or hurt guests' eyes or turned blonde hair green. My family (including two small children) could swim all day long and never have irritated eyes.

It's really about being very careful about the chemistry (step 1 is to get a high-quality testing kit). Public pools are... less than fastidious about chemical balance and standards are much looser.

Justice Thomas has been fighting a long battle trying to restore the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the 14th amendment after it was effectively removed from the constitution in the Slaughter-House Cases. He'll often issue dissents or concurrences just to raise the issue of the Privileges or Immunities Clause.

What exactly is the harm behind beheading videos? It's not like anyone is being beheaded every time you watch it, right. Nobody pays attention to these videos ever, nobody has ever been radicalized by them. No 15 year old British schoolgirl has run away to Syria and found herself pregnant and stateless because of them ( https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47301623 )

You could take the common line where if someone is driven to a compulsion though self-temptation, all responsibility lies with them. But if you encourage that compulsion knowing full well what it leads to, are you blameless?

I posit that knowingly providing tooling that actively seeks out, recommends on behalf of and encourages the behaviour of voyeuristic individuals interested in children, in an absolutely concrete way the provider of the tool is in part responsible for any child abuse that may result. When you're talking about a planetary-scale recommender, the scale of the viewers is terrifying -- and even if a small fraction of those compulsions are acted upon, that's far, far too many.

edit: apparently this line of thinking is so repugnant to some that it doesn't even deserve a reply
The interesting thing, though, is that once a civil right is established and incorporated against the states, it's basically unassailable under our system. So while it takes a long time to get those rights properly enshrined, at least they seem to be safe.

>My guess is that not much will change, as the most problematic and widespread applications of civil forfeiture don’t involve a crime where a monetary fine would be allowed as a penalty

IANAL, but I see 2 reasonings:

If seizing $40000 for <insert any crime/infraction, like going 5MPH over the speed limit, where max penalty is let's say $1000>, wouldn't it be excessive if it's seized for doing absolutely Nothing (suspicion of a crime: max penalty = 0 jail, $0 fine) ?

And more specific to your point:
if maximum penalty for a crime only involves jail time and $0 of maximum fine, wouldn't any seizure of cash/property be excessive since it's far larger than $0?
Is it really a two-sided marketplace? Most of that content could easily be just aggregated from random social media accounts.

The sexualization only happens in the context of the viewer mentally sexualizing the content. The vast majority of people who see these videos, without any further context, would simply assume those are just family videos.

In that context, it is quite a bit perverse to have some people constantly fantasize how certain content could be "abused" for sexual pleasure by other individuals and how to best go about to deny them that pleasure. When in reality human sexuality is just fucked generally [0] and people can derive sexual pleasure from the weirdest of things, like naked feet in high-heels.

Would you rather these people build secretive in-groups where they trade real hardcore material, supporting actual physical child abuse? Should we ban the depiction of animal violence in general because some people derive sexual pleasure from it?

I just see no practical solution to this that doesn't end up with a lot of quite arbitrary censoring rules, that would then need to be expanded. Case in point: Just do a Google image search on "children's underwear" and you will find plenty of similar stuff like in those videos.

Should that stuff also be all removed/deleted/censored? That's where the real slippery slope begins.
