For those curious about what is going on here...

Cloudflare has decided for privacy reasons they will not relay eDNS0 client subnet data - which yes, can reveal a portion of the IP of the requestor - but is used by CDN services in order to provide nearest servers or (in some cases) country specific content.

My guess here is archive.is feels they have some need to restrict what content is provided to where in the world, and as a result, without ECS in the request, takes you to a cname which essentially null routes you back to your local loop interface.

> is that there is no real way to distinctly classify something like a UFO or USO in such a way that it gets reported and an investigation occurs on an official level within the military.

This is what is all about. A UFO is probably not an alien, it is probably a human mistake, an innocent flyer (weather balloon, etc), or a non-expected craft (civilian, enemy, etc). If the military doesnt know about them, isnt trying to figure out which, and isnt improving its ability to determine which, then it is ignoring data and allowing intel and intel training to lapse.

In other situations it might pay off well to have those skills, practices, and policies established.

It's not mysterious, it's not exciting, it's just just military paying attention where it is boring yet useful to pay attention.
>"it seems that archive.is responds to queries from Cloudflare’s systems with an incorrect response."

What makes the response incorrect? I was under the impression that DNS implementations were under no "practical" obligation to return consistent queries to differing requester IP addresses (hence stuff like split-horizon DNS and EDNS: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/ecs )
You should definitely checkout this book - http://www.buthowdoitknow.com/

It explains everything in layman's term.
That’s not an accurate read of archive.is’s behavior. EDNS is an optional feature.

archive.is has configured their nameservers to return invalid (127.0.0.0/8, from the looks of it) responses to Cloudflare requests because they’re protesting Cloudflare’s lack of EDNS, not because EDNS is somehow required to handle the requests.

For context: EDNS sends the origin IP address of the DNS client through the resolver. Cloudflare has it disabled because of the privacy implications of sending it along.
The trees are an interesting touch, but this seems like it misses out on the greatest active benefit of having a glass roof for a church: having natural sunlight fill the pews when services are held on nice days.

Hard to tell from the outside, but archive.is did blacklist the whole of Finland a while back - due to personal grudge.
Sorry, to clarify: when archive.is receives a DNS lookup from Cloudflare’s resolvers, they reply with an IP in the 127.0.0.0/8 range, so the origin client is unable to connect (since those IPs aren’t routable over the internet).
Although an interesting read, I have a problem with one of it's central premises, that security is not a good measure of happiness, and that the UN World Happiness Report has security as a contributor to the score. It uses statements like: "The UN calculators of happiness also presume that the more security, the better. The less insecurity, the more happiness points a society is awarded."

This actually doesn't seem to be true. They use reported security as a possible explanation of happiness score, but security score does not contribute to happiness score calculation.

It sounds pedantic but kind of throws a lot of their further arguments out.

Site are usually remote, visited infrequently, and contain many hives.
They are usually sunny which may help charge batteries, but this needs to be hidden. You could have a gps in the pallet rather than the hive, so the cost goes down per hive.
However tracking really needs to be per frame. Some countries require a degree of tracking already as part of their food safety regulations.
The ultimate would be a rfid per honey frame, a beekeeper notification if a hive was opened and a gps signal for location.
Some operations and placing cameras that are motion activated near access to their sites. This is possibly more helpful.
Thks, it worked, I installed the fix. But do I have to uninstall the .xpi after? And how?

I always find architectural designs like this very odd, since they seem divorced from anything like customer requirements. It's something like a programmer discussing what Twitter would be like if everyone followed exactly one of seven accounts.
The way I see it, everyone requires some degree of empathy and consideration in order to build a productive relationship. The considerations made in interacting with Kenneth may be different from those made when interacting with others, but the principle is the same in my opinion.

I’ll also say that I consider Kenneth to be a true friend, and that those considerations are more than worth it. He’s an extremely gifted developer - and more importantly, a truly good person.

Ad hoc querying as in users can choose their own time range / bucket size / something else?
My guess is it's the US military projecting. They've almost certainly got covert flying vehicles cruising around so naturally they'd want to know about any sightings of their own craft, or an enemy doing the same thing in the airspace.

What better way to gauge how well the tech is working than by crowdsourcing the sightings?

The right thing for cloudflare to do then is fake the EDNS field so that they get a valid response.

Maybe cloudflare doesn't want to code an ad-hoc solution just to fix one site. But that doesn't matter to the customer, who just wants it to work.
If these incidents were aliens, I would expect a lot more reactions from the military, politic, and financial markets. All reactions seem muted.

Secondly, why would aliens reveal themselves in such a way? Either land on the White House lawn or stay out of sight. This 50 year UFO appearances, with some but not really a lot of witnesses, don't make sense for me.
Fair, how many times has that been for you? I'll make sure to stay well under :)

For additional context, here is the Cloudflare explanation about EDNS client subnets:

> EDNS Client Subnet
>
>1.1.1.1 is a privacy centric resolver so it does not send any client IP information and does not send the EDNS Client Subnet Header to authoritative servers.

Cloudflare's requests are of course perfectly valid, with @archiveis actively deciding not to service them.
I doubt the demographics of car users and bike/scooter sharing users intersects a lot. I've seen it in Berlin and Paris, it's mostly tourists and young people, they don't have cars in the first place.

It's not A replace B, it A + 90% of B.
Just like car sharing doesn't replace that many cars, it just allows people who couldn't afford to own one full time to use one from time to time.
You could harvest some of the goats for meat. With some being a number less than the natural rate of increase of said goats.

Archive.is does not appear to specify in detail what operational issues result from the missing client subnet EDNS data. We can speculate, though. Is it for data harvesting purposes, or for global load balancing concerns? Are users complaining due to some unknown side effect? Are localized in-country-firewall servers receiving traffic from out-country clients?

Look, at this point it’s not the user’s responsibility to “chill out”. It’s very much Firefox’s responsibility to try to repair their reputation by:

1. being completely transparent about all the mechanisms that data or code can be pushed to or pulled by the browser, or pushed from or pulled from the browser; and

2. having a toggle for all of them, yes every single one, in Privacy & Security.
Ive experimented with this in a 2d canvas app but did not notice any performance improvement, but did get some issues with the rendering.
We ingest a lot of time series (IoT) data and use Postgres for other data so Timescale works quite well for us.
One thing Timescale treats as second class citizen though is updates to existing data points which are 1-2 areas of magnitude slower than inserts. Granted this is also the case for all other TSDB solutions out there which are for obvious reasons optimized for inserts and reads aggregated along the time dimension.
Still would be amazing if you could add to the already existing differentiation of allowing fast updates for cases like ours where we dont store events relating to a singular point in time but rather time-spans so new incoming data points might be "merged" into existing time-spans.
I don't see any reason that you need to uninstall the .xpi, but you might as well. See here (hoping someone replies there with a better method of uninstalling, my method is a bad hack) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19827428

You don't need to allow firefox to install and run studies, that's just a way of letting firefox automatically install this xpi.

Did that error message only appear after you installed the .xpi fix? If so it's mildly worrisome, but probably not worth spending time figuring out what it's about if all your addons are back. If it appeared when the addons were initially disabled it's not an issue at all, it's just that nothing closed it.
I have the same problem once in a while. Here are some things you can try.

1. Slow down your review session. I run into this problem mostly when I lose discipline and start skimming the question.

2. Put more effort into breaking info down into very atomic parts. For complex info, I'll still put in a high-level card, but I'll also put in cards that represent pieces of the info.

3. Add different cards for different methods of recall. I frequently add pairs of cards. For example, I added both "what is Betteridge's law?" and "what adage states that any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered with no?"
I don't know if it was developed as part of the development of a new version of Windows or, far more likely, it was simply released with each new version of Windows for maximum impact.

IE2 was the first version available for Windows 3.1, Mac OS, etc. Sure it was released at the same time as NT 4.0 but I don't think it was developed with it.

The big exception is IE4.0 which was deeply integrated with the Windows 98 shell (hello Active Desktop).

I've been learning French and German throughout the last years, and I tried different setups.

I loved immersing myself in fantasy worlds, both literary and gaming, and gained immense enjoyment from doing so; but since I've had this "realization" I really can't care about lore outside of the main storyline and my enjoyment from such activities has considerably reduced. Not sure if that's entirely a loss though, as I now would rather focus on something that provides a more direct improvement to my quality of life in the future rather than fantasy trivia.

Disclaimer: I've not been using Anki for too long

I had the same problem when I was initially only put in definitions into Anki. I was able to say the definition 1:1 but didn't form the concepts very well. My 2 (very similar) solutions for this (which I found to work pretty well), are:

1. Cross-referencing cards. I started editing a lot of cards, to add cross-references to other definitions that I also have cards for. For all the new cards I write now, I always try to have at least one reference to something that is on another card.

2. Meta-cards. I specifically add cards that test the knowledge of concepts, and me explaining it by adding cards like "Explain the difference between A and B".

3. Epic cards. When I started learning the periodic system of elements, along with the individual elements, I added a card for each group, a card for each group where I also have to know the element symbol, and a card for each group where I have to know the element symbol and atomic number. Obviously, I can only correctly solve a card if I know the easier versions of it, but it both provides a bigger goal to work towards, and also helps to put the smaller individual pieces of information I'm am learning into a context.

This very much misrepresents Right to Work. I'm going to try to answer this without taking a side...

The point of Right to Work is to prevent predatory unions from doing things like forcing people to pay dues to them or negotiating preferential treatment only to people who choose to pay dues. Or, say, go without pay during a strike when the worker may indeed rather be working.

Of course, this can be a problem because it reduces the collective bargaining power of unions if an employee can simply refuse to strike. But at the same time, it also forces unions to be providing real material value in exchange for their dues since they now have to convince workers that it is worth paying dues instead of being able to extract dues in a mandatory way.

You may be confusing what Right to Work is designed for with what opponents of it think will happen if union power is reduced.

I lose all tabs occasionally. Browsers aren't perfect, it does happen after a weird crash, or something. It's exceedingly rare, like maybe twice a year.

With that said, I've always considered tabs to be volatile state. Browsers make their best effort to e.g. restore the previous session after a crash, but if you want non-volatile browser state, you should use bookmarks.
Ouch, my bad. There are differing views on misconceptions. Some view them as no big deal: create 'em now, maybe clean them up later. Incremental lying and clarification. Another is that they're more problematic: hard to undo, creating thought "friction" that discourages knowledge integration and application, and more.

My own atypical view, is that they are extremely toxic mutagenic agents of corrupting cognitive death. ;) In part because the corruption spreads. Have one bogus bit of story, try to reconcile it with valid bits, and soon one has a creative flurry of additional bogus stories attempting to patch them together. Recurse.

I once saw an introduction to the solar system page, with a big graphic at the top. It was a work of art. It reinforced so many common misconceptions about the solar system. My thought then was, there's no way the rest of this page can dig out from the hole of damage done by this first graphic. Net-negative learning. In general, it seems so very easy for content to cause severe collateral damage.

I use a remark like "from space" or "outside the atmosphere", to prune a conversation space. But it does reinforce the idea, to the best of my knowledge incorrect, that seen from the surface, the Sun is not often white. Sorry. I'll have to think about how to mitigate that. Thanks.

IE6.

No, I'm only half-serious. ;-)

Remember when the Web was mostly about sharing information, browsers didn't silently auto-update nor break in the process of doing so, organisations didn't add invasive "telemetry" to everything, and things would mostly stay working because the pace of change was generally much slower?

Now that the "keep pushing it forward and breaking things" trendchasers seem to have gotten their way, instead we have the constant churn of web development, increasingly bloated sites and JS annoyances, browsers becoming more complex and fragile than OSs, dumbed-down UIs and taking control away from the user --- yes, that includes Mozilla who got to where they are today for their "user freedom respecting" position, and the repulsively ignorant "newer is always better" mentality that's infected even search engines like Google.

Maybe I'm just being overly nostalgic, but incidents like these really put things into perspective.
I've been doing the "30 hour method" as described here: https://azeria-labs.com/the-importance-of-deep-work-the-30-h...

It's sort of like the Pomodoro technique, except with 30-hour chunks instead of 30-minute chunks. (Obviously they serve different purposes.)

After studying a topic, while it is still fresh in my mind, I will make a few entries into my spaced repetition system (org-mode) and then I only review the entries between each of the 30-hour blocks. This means I'm only reviewing entries maybe twice a month at most. Yet, the spaced repetition still works well, and surprisingly, it doesn't take long before I'll only have one or two entries to review during my rare study sessions.

My point being, even if you study your spaced repetition entries only once a month, it will still work.

It also helps me not become too obsessed with creating cards for every little thing. I study a topic for a few weeks, and only at the end do I even think about spaced repetition and making cards. I review what I've learned (I do take notes sometimes) and make only a few cards for the most important topics. Ultimately I'm only thinking about or interacting with spaced repetition systems one or two days a month. Again, they still work even when used so rarely.
We can’t say that car ownership is a consequence of location if you are going to own the car regardless of location. Plenty of city-dwelling transit commuters drive on the weekends; it’s not fair to say that transit access == zero vehicles.

I think we could say it switches from a necessity to a leisure expense, and that city dwelling households can get most of what they want from a single car vs. several.
