Seems to suggest "yes"
CA have zero control over your encryption keys as is. As for the MitM there likely several CAs actually based and doing business in Australia. Yet with certificate transparency being mandatory it's almost guaranteed that entity doing something shady will go out of business really fast.
It's one law that every single country has on the books and no one ever enforces - observe how it has no provision for anything that you actually own, if you go out of EU with your MacBook Pro and come back you should technically be declaring it at customs as an item over the allowance value. You should be declaring your phone and your watch if it's an expensive one too. Literally no one does this, and if you do try declaring those items you will be just waived through for wasting the guard's time.

I tend to ignore good reviews and rely on bad ones mostly to make my decisions. Will also never leave a good review when I'm satisfied, they are indistinguishable from fake ones anyway, I tend to rather just leave bad reviews when I'm not satisfied.

Potential child pornography on the platform is one thing and limiting the ways children can be exploited or ways they might unknowingly or knowingly self exploit is a function governments should engage in.

But.... the Indian government’s stance on lawful pornography access is laughable. These government boards or moral police are probably envied by those who would impose puritanical policies worldwide.

For me, that interview symbolizes a certain turning point in the political/cultural role of bishops and the church.

There is such an obvious dichotomy between the authority the clerics expected to be regarded with and the realilty. They looked and sounded so anachronistic. The moral authority just seemed gone. They just looked like python caricatures, robes, misplaced pomp and all.

Meanwhile, these comedians were winning at the philosophical sparring.

I'm from the next island over. We trailed the UK by 10-20 years, in terms of secularism and church authority. But, starting from a much more religious/clerical point and reaching and arguably more secular one very fast.

There have been several key referendums recently, and the church simply failed to mount an opposition. Appearing in regalia and demanding the moral authority because "I am a bishop of the church" would have been a ridiculous spectacle. That element of power was long gone. In my symbolic narration of the story, Cleese and Palin did that in that interview.

Show HN: Open-source online board gaming platform build atop blockchain tech
Blockchain is an ideal way to free physical board game makers from the constraints of manufacturing and big-brand contract conditions.

Here at Saito we have released an online Arcade powered by the Saito Game Engine (SaGE) — a fully distributed, fully on-chain platform, currently featuring classics such as Chess, WordBlocks, and Twilight Struggle as examples of what can be done.

All games run directly in a browser and communicate using Saito’s blockchain as a peer-to-peer network.

Would love to connect with anyone interested in developing on our platform, or those open to discussing the use and ideas of blockchain tech more generally.

Thanks for your time, and any feedback or thoughts you can share.
Fake reviews are a game of cat and mouse. If writing good ones for their own products no longer works, they'll start writing bad ones for competing products.
Which is partly because the business model is selling data to large companies and data brokers, not providing a service to the "customers" (users). And then you get places like Facebook that are themselves data brokers, and sell access to the data so they can claim they aren't Acxiom.

Yes, bad reviews are often more useful - particularly when they explain clearly enough what the reviewer found unsatisfactory, so that I can make my own judgement as to whether that issue is important to me.

Lessons from the Long Depression
From the friendly article:

Even the ones that do contain wasps can be considered vegan in my opinion. Veganism is about reducing harm and suffering, and these wasps aren’t being harmed. After all, no one is forcing the wasps to fertilize the figs. It’s part of their natural life cycle.

I took a random one for the country I live in:
According to wikipedia, this person who got his PhD in 1973 and has since retired has done research in 'quantum philosophy and spirituality'.

The second one, retired also, is a biologist who researched subterranean mammals. He and his team got an Ig-Nobel price in 2014 for their finding that dogs align themselves to earth's magnetic field when pooping.

I'm not sure I want to continue.
For me, the whole "rate product/experience by X amount of stars" system has always been broken. Especially when it seems to be taken much more seriously than it was originally meant. Ok, I'm not a UX expert or a data analyst, but as far as I know, the statistics that are drawn from these star reviews were originally only meant to be some sort of rough pointer to approximately evaluate how good a product is. And the result should in its turn, determine if a product needs to be further reviewed. But on the other hand I get why almost everyone who offers a product or a service utilises this system, it's easy. Is this product good or bad? 1 or 5 stars? Yes or no? The web isn't really compatible for maybes, yes buts, and no howevers.
Nice! This honestly sounds really great; coincidentally as a Czech person, the multiple plural forms have sort of been a bane of i18n for me, a surprising amount of solutions don't even take this into account at all (?!) or require dumb workarounds.

Insects don't contain a CNS. Therefore, insects are vegan according to my defintion of vegan. Just like the champignons (mushrooms) and jellyfish and yeast are vegan.

I'm reminded about this beautiful documentary about the fig tree and her symbioses: The Queen Of Trees [1]. This is an official version. It was broadcasted on American TV, and this was ripped on BitTorrent. I can highly recommend watching this documentary. It teaches us how cruel yet intelligent nature (and evolution) can be. There are mutual benefits for different species who suffer or die in the process.

The problem is that bad reviews can be just as fake as good ones, as they could be written by the product's competitors.

Also, if a product is popular enough, odds are that even with a great product there'll be a small fraction of people who'll just happen to get a dud, while most of the rest will be satisfied.

Because of this, I tend to read both good and bad reviews, and give more weight to the longer reviews that go in to great detail about the product and why they rated it the way they did, with comparisons to other products being especially helpful. Also helpful are reviews by professionals who really know the field thoroughly. Unfortunately, such reviews are rare.

I also look at the ratio of good reviews to bad reviews, and look for products with many reviews, though on Amazon this strategy is not quite as effective these days as it once was. One of the big problems with Amazon's model is that it seems that most people buy the products shown on the first page or two of search results. Products on later pages might be just as good or even better, but they may never get bought or reviewed because they weren't on the first couple of pages.
I thought it was to improve peoples health and catch conditions earlier - though I suspect given US health care only healthy people would apply.
> Religion, in my opinion, is not really about believing in a dude in sandals up in the clouds somewhere.

If you take a honest look in what religions are "really about" you'd come to: hell. Deities providing a place to torture human souls. Even Buddhism (as a developed religion, not as an idea on which it was established) has its hell.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naraka_(Buddhism)

The proof that all of these stories are actually produced by humans and even have one origin is that the concept of hell effectively didn't exist around 3000 years ago but then appeared in all the cultures which mutually exchanged goods through the trade routes around 2500 years ago. The timing also doesn't fit with any of the religions claiming they have "the truth": the concept of hell was surely unknown to early Judaism but was provably spread across the cultures centuries before the Christianity appeared.

> But it has value in exploring questions and aspects of humanity that we are not able to understand with reason.

Like, we can imagine hell really good, and obviously successfully spread the invented stories about it. Heaven on another side is either non-existence, or profoundly uninteresting or obviously produced for a mind of sex-obsessed hormone pushed teenagers who will therefore be motivated to die for their "religion" (virgins always ready for sex).

> Human beings are really bad at reason.

Should we then prevent them from trying to reason about their religions? Or shouldn't we support them exactly to do so? The problem is, raising people to "not do something" because they will be "punished" in the afterlife provably doesn't work, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are now -- the human civilization constantly being near to complete annihilation.

By pure nature of how probability works, there will be sooner or later some false alarm that will indeed trigger the actual detonation of the nuclear weapons. The only sane action by humanity would be to reduce their amount to the scale which makes humanity's annihilation impossible. We are very far from that at the moment. Because it's so profitable making these weapons.

Yes, human beings are really bad at reason.

The article touches on this, but veganism is not about only eating plants - it's actually an ethical decision to avoid anything that harms animals. As such, figs are definitely vegan since the wasp is living its natural lifecycle.

No. Incorrect. Completely backwards. Factually wrong. You just failed your networking-exam.

Those things you mentioned would be transparent networking nodes forwarding your TCP-packets and they have nothing to do with any layers above that.

The fact that you don’t even know this completely invalidates any other point you may have.

I also do not really see the benefits of 5G.

I would be much more happy to have reliable 4G or 3G at least, first.

I suppose quite some support comes from people who have connection issues with weak 4G and assumes 5G will solve them.

But since 5G will consume apparently 3G towers and has much less range, quite the opposite could happen. Even less connection for people not in the city.
Could be that Zstandard outperformes it but I also have similar good experience with brotli.

Good compression speed ratio (use q 1 for brotli lower than 0.6):

tar -I"brotli -q 2" -cvf file.tar.br inputfiles

Decompression:

tar -Ibrotli -xvf file.tar.br

It outperformes gzip and is near xz region without a lot of CPU power and is also blazing fast. Really useful if you have e.g. a big PostgreSQL db dump which you want to transfer to your own machine. Examples for Postgres dumping and restoring:

pg_dump adatabase | brotli -q 2 > dump.sql.br
brotli -d < dump.sql.br | psql -U postgres dbusernamehere

That's a bad example for me personally since I think all cars should be banned (except maybe electric cars but I haven't done the necessary research to see the actual environmental impact). I haven't used my driver's license in years and always take the train (I've also stopped flying).

But anyway, that's off topic. I understand that it's a pain for developers but for users like me who are often on a bad connection it's a life saver.

/cynical/ So sad that nowadays Swedes can't have a say about radical immams. /cynical/ How cool it is to have fun of Jesus but to have fun of Mahommed? How "far" we have "progressed" ;-) In 40 years from having fun about religious leaders to burning heretics like witches.

Wouldn't it be fun to watch movie having fun about Mohammed in Sweden? Or we became some kind of cultural caliphat in the mean time? Joking about Jesus respecting Mohammed? There is a reason for which our era is referred to as "new middle-ages" by some philosophers.

Sad.

By the way there is much more comedy material in Mohammed case too.

As we know since Freud hypocrisy is this what makes the best jokes. I.e. saint God messiah who is a war lord and peadophile in the meantime. Try making movie about that.
There are already many CA's, so the real answer is 'loads, but less if we think you'll just ask a competitor'.
So then make the competitor pay for it: each time they launch for a competitor, add a margin equating to the total cost of deploying a Starlink satellite.
Somewhat fixable (this is for moon.html):

var n = 0;

function loop() {
location.hash = f[Math.floor((Date.now()/100)%f.length)];
if (n++ > f.length) {
n = 0;
window.history.go(-f.length);
}
setTimeout(loop, 50);
}

This actually doesn't work properly and jumps back too far sometimes because the URLs move with time and not a counter, but you get the idea.
Technology is a religion to this forum, so good luck convincing others that electromagnetic radiation might have an impact on human biology that is not well understood.

If it doesn't cook you like microwaves or causes radiation sickness 3 hours after exposure it is immediately declared universally safe.

Of course that's negligent at best. Looks like we will live through in vivo testing for those questions, I suppose.
I had dabbled in LISP before picking up this book. I'm quite happy that I did pick it up eventually to learn how to actually get something done with LISP.

After this book, I picked up "Practical Common Lisp" (going through that one at the moment).

So far, I found LoL to suit me less than a more traditional book like PCL, but it did help me actually get a sense of LISP.

Also, the song is catchy.. Simple but refined guaranteed to blow your mind... the land of lisp ;-)
There are hundreds of groups on Facebook in which the seller will ask you to buy the product give them 5 star review and they will return your money (some time with the tip) on Paypal. And you can keep the product.
I do recommend Practical Common Lisp not only for Lisp newcomers. The concepts teached apply to programming in a bigger context. Lisp is here only a vehicle (a very good one).
It's one blu-ray worth of data. Mobile data has really lowered people's expectations about internet connectivity a lot, relative to the improvement curve that we got used to last decade with wired connectivity.

Let me put it another way: in the world of programming, being a right-winger publicly is suicide. Example: Brendan Eich. That had chilling effects.

LYAH is a great introduction for Haskell in my opinion. It helps make an intimidating language more approachable. And once you see that it's not all that intimidating, it's easy to find resources for yourself and keep learning Haskell.

The Haskell IRC community is a great resource as well, and probably one of the friendliest around. (#haskell on freenode)

As a consumer, if a company with a Twitter presence responds that way I'll ignore them. Because 9 times out of 10 when I tweet at a brand it's either because I'm calling them out for actively harmful stuff (like using plaintext passwords) or prodding them about issues that likely affect more people than just me.

If I have a specific support request about my personal account, I'll go through the usual channels. But if it's on twitter, it's probably there because the extra visibility and public accountability is intentional.
The reality is, for a bunch of usecases, you're gonna need to support 15 plus year old devices.

Most of them aren't on the public internet, but HTTPS would still be a good idea. This change is going to mean a bunch of them just get changed over to having no encryption.
What “visual CSS editor” are they talking about? I have Coda 2, and remember wishing it had a visual CSS editor like Espresso’s.

Coda also suffered from persistent and potentially damaging bugs, like the failure of its project-files pane to open the “home” directory specified for your project when you opened the project. Instead, it apparently just showed whatever directory it last navigated to.
