TLTR: Question: To what do I set network.trr.bootstrapAddress for https://doh.appliedprivacy.net/query?

I am confused. The guide tell me to set:

network.trr.uri

But Foundation for Applied Privacy sounds nice and I want to force DNS over HTTPS. The site specifically tells me to use the the Firfeox setting page https://appliedprivacy.net/services/dns/ but that sets network.trr.custom_uri not
network.trr.uri so whats the diffrence? And it also tells that I have to set the network.trr.bootstrapAddress but does not tell you to what in case I missed something.
Yes, but at least it's twice as abundant as forthnium.
Yes, otherwise the links to the emails would’ve worked.
I very much agree with the call for precise communication. People with a behavioralistic/materialistic/empiric view and people more interested in "the hard problem" often seem to talk past each other as long as they both use just the word "consciousness".

This tends to get cleared up when a keyword like "qualia" gets mentioned, but it's so common to see lots of words wasted before that happens, if it even does. It's interesting how impactful the breadth of a shared vocabulary can be.
I've heard that Perligata has actually been used in production. (It was similar to their native language.)
If you understand that the goal is only to move a small number of people from unlikely voter to likely voter (or vice versa) over the course of several months, given targeting tools that are capable of a high-degree of precision, it doesn't seem implausible at all. An entire industry exists to take people from complete ignorance to paying advocate, and I don't see anyone arguing that the concept of advertising is an "utterly fanciful", "basically irrelevant" proposition. Voting costs nothing but your time, all you need to do is convince someone that their ideas matter.

>Re: systems of monitoring and control. The even crazier thing is that upon only the lightest of introspection you can find that there isn’t even some “ego” system controlling or reigning in some other “id” system. It’s just one thing!

I'm sorry, but because you're using the terms, I have to interject and inform the wider audience that this claim is not at all an accurate reading of Freud. Freud makes it extremely clear in his text The Ego and The Id that Ego/Id is one thing. The perceptible boundary is whether a mental process is available to being represented in language.
Yeah, guns are another example.
Okay, that's a data point. Let's flesh it out.

First, it has to be pointed out that the unemployment rate is always at its nadir directly before the market peaks. So good job numbers only mean that the recession hasn't arrived yet, not that we haven't passed an inflection point where a recession is right around the corner. You could imagine a chart that looks like half of a parabola, where present day is right before the minimum. I made a terrible mspaint diagram to make this clearer:

https://i.imgur.com/pYiMfUt.png

But also, there are major problems with even the data's ability to describe the current situation. For one, the jobs numbers regularly need to be restated as additional data comes in. It's not unusual at the start of a contraction in the business cycle for data from many months earlier to be revised sharply downward, revealing that the drop actually began sooner than anyone realized. For this reason jobs numbers are an extremely lagging indicator, with very limited value for predicting the future.

Second, the "unemployment" number has a very particular definition which is more subtle than you think. It excludes people who are no longer looking for work. Fortunately, the government tracks statistics on the total proportion of the population currently working, and the dramatic declines in the headline unemployment number (10% to 4%!) look less impressive when plotted against the relatively minor change in the actual employment-population ratio. Notice the difference in the scales of the left and right Y-axes:

https://i.imgur.com/wIjfVWo.png

You can play with the charting settings to get an even more vivid picture of just how little things are really improving:

https://i.imgur.com/mq1H8kD.png

The unemployment number plummets because people have given up finding work. The idea that the labor market is tight and drawing in formerly unemployed people to the labor force is exactly backwards.
> It's like measuring the significance of the excavation of Tutankhamen's† tomb

This is a rare case where the name change is original to the foreign subject. Akhenaten, the heretic Pharaoh, threw out the traditional religion of Egypt and replaced it with monotheistic worship of the aten, the sun-disc. This didn't go over well -- after Akhenaten died, the traditional system reestablished itself, various records were "corrected", and Tutankhaten's name was changed, during his own lifetime, to something more traditional. Unlike his father, Tutankhamen didn't have the political power to maintain the heresy.

The subsidies are only given for areas that don’t have coverage currently. One national carrier is accused of overstating coverage in rural areas to keep subsidies from being given to rural cellular carriers. To get the subsidy, you’d want to understate the coverage.

EDIT: Previously, I incorrectly stated there is no subsidy for cellular. I forgot about Obama’s Mobility Fund. Phase 1 was $300 million in 2012, and Phase 2 was planned to be about $450 million per year over the next ten years. But that’s halted at the moment. Note that annual capital expenditures by the big 4 cellular providers is $55 billion annually. You’re talking about a really tiny investment by the government in the most underserved areas, not something big enough to really influence the coverage map.

It's true but photosynthesis has two stages. The light reaction stage is quite efficient. Chlorophyll a is slightly more efficient than commercial solar panels. The dark reaction stage, which assimilates CO2 to produce carbohydrates, is the limiting step that drives the efficiency down.
After every large financial event you are going to find some person who predicted it. Since there is a nearly unlimited number of people making contradictory predictions at all times, you're also going to find someone making a correct prediction. In fact, if be more surprised if you didn't.

I think you'll have a hard time finding someone who made more than one correct prediction (and none, or at least very few incorrect ones). It's easy to be correct if you just throw everything at the wall as see what sticks.
>I recommend that you buy a 4K ultra-high definition (UHD) version of a movie, even if you don't have the hardware to support it yet. The digital version you get from Movies Anywhere matches the resolution of the Blu-ray or DVD you purchase, so buying the 4K version helps future-proof your viewing.

I'm not sure historically speaking that would work out to good advice considering the past and the speed of technology change.

Another consideration is lifestyle change.

I used to own a lot of DVDs. But now I have a family and different obligations and movie time is far less frequent and a bunch of disks and downloads to manage is suddenly not desirable at all.
What you’re missing is that democracies only work with an informed electorate. But it turns out most western countries have passed the point where the average citizen is smart enough to tell fact from fiction.

All of these people whose sole source of information about brexit (or US presidential candidates) comes from tv, blogs, and social networks — all 3 designed to sell ads — are easily manipulated.

When this manipulation comes from outside sources who have a vested interest in the destruction or degradation of democratic institutions, it’s a problem that needs to be worried about.

That you don’t get it, shows short term thinking. These are chickens that are going to come home to roost 50 years later.
I read it as a "my language/platform/paradigm" is better than yours.

While I would agree that in the end the brain is just one thing doing its thing, I would still say that it is also composed out of several interacting components with different functions and responsibilities. For example one part of your brain might have an impulsive response in a certain situation and another part might try to overrule that with a more rational thought. Some third component will of course just pick a winner of the struggle without anything you can do about it. Well, you are of course doing all those thing, but you know what I mean.
From what I heard from people in the solar business battery is generally not a good idea. Better to invest in a good grid where we can transfer electricity from one place to another (there’s always windy somewhere). And have some sort of backup power plants on the lowest days (like natural gas, biofuel, etc, not co2 free but they wouldn’t be used very often from what I understand). Or alternative “batteries” like pumping up a lot of water in some dam.
he was basically saying something like you shouldn't be using docker to escape the real problem which is having a stable application deployment environment (using python paths and envs as an example).

i dont see why the two are necessarily related. docker lets me package a reusable and repeatable deployment of OS+application ... if you want to use that as a crutch to solve environment problems, why not?

The First Deep Fake – War of the Worlds
It was Mathematica, they provide the code in the paper.
Because it's so flexible, low-level in some parts (memory management, raw pointers) and high-level in others (template metaprogramming, lambdas).

If you restrict the API to a subset of the language, you can make C++ ABI just fine. My favorite style is abstract interfaces.

For the GUI example, look at WinRT. It exposes very high-level functionality, expressed in C++ as IUnknown-derived interfaces. These interfaces can be consumed or implemented by any compilers, or even other languages.

Such APIs work well even for very performance-critical code like DirectX or Direct2D. But there's downside, such APIs is not the most idiomatic form of C++: no exceptions, no iterators or other template shenanigans, no RTTI, no standard collections not even strings. All that stuff needs to be replaced with some equivalents.

When I only have C++ clients, I don't usually inherit from IUnknown, instead making an abstract base class with virtual destructor, and using std::unique_ptr smart pointers instead of CComPTR.

It's not illegal to be against surveillance. Nothing I can be "nicked" for. No drugs, nothing illegal. I am a hard target unless your benevolent watchers want to break the law and plant something on me. And there's plenty of others like me.

> People trying to avoid surveillance leave holes in the dataflow that pinpoint them.

Yes, that's why I specifically mentioned "active" measures and Ad Nauseum. When surveillance becomes pervasive, you change your strategy. The idea is to become "human chaff". Light up all the keywords, all the dashboards. Make yourself incredibly visible, ideally in a way that blends with the identities of others so they aren't even sure who you are. And most importantly, make yourself both interesting and expensive to target. This provides cover so the people doing the important work on crypto, distributed encrypted comms, etc can go on unbothered. And it's perfectly legal.

> My point is that the Ubiquitous Surveillance system must be recursive to prevent it's own abuses (or we will wind up with techno-dictatorship.) That's all.

Better hope that you're wrong. If your "exponential" surveillance were successful (it won't be), it would inevitably draw in more and more people who seek power for power's sake. The systems will eventually become corrupted, even if it takes decades. The techno-dictatorship will happen. And then, fortunately, it will eventually collapse under its own weight like all dictatorships do, after oppressing and killing countless innocents. (The model for this is the former GDR, which was the most successful surveillance and control state known to man.)

The only way your benevolent surveillance state could possibly work is the emergence of a general AI that takes over our governance systems and replaces human control. I'm not optimistic about this happening any time soon, and as there's no guarantee that such an AI would even care about us, I'm not too keen on seeing this happen in my lifetime.

You are making the same mistake that nearly all starry-eyed futurists do. Human nature rules the development and use of technology, not the other way around. We could have walked on Mars by now, but we haven't. The Internet could have brought about world peace and free global exchange of ideas, but instead we're slowly entering a new cold war. There's a reason for that.

Well, qualia is exactly one of the things I would try to avoid. What do we really mean with that word, what are objective properties of qualia? As I said, I am increasingly entertaining the idea that we are just getting fooled by ourselves when our brains tell us that we obviously and undeniably have consciousness and experience qualia. What if this is just a hardcoded, meaningless phrase our brain spits out every time we or somebody else asks us whether we are conscious or experience qualia? Brain: Am I conscious? Brain: Yes. No more than five lines of code.
