This underestimates DPI vendors. eSNI can't stop them, they will just move to exploit side channel information (traffic patterns) to identify which websites you are visiting. People need to remember, that DPI industry has been fighting with obfuscation for years, it's a war where Cloudflare and Mozilla are compete newbies.
I’m open to thoughtful, constructive criticisms of capitalism. Mostly what I see is “capitalism allows for some to slip through the cracks, so let’s burn it all to the ground and start over with system that has only ever failed catastrophically (or in the words of its proponents, ‘has never truly been tried before’)”.
I didn't know about the matrix plugin for Thunderbird chat! Now THIS would be awesome! Beyond the regular, dedicated clients for matrix, this type of partnership/integration is what Mozilla and (other FOSS) folks outside the matrix/riot org. should try and advocate for. Sure, this brings increased usage of matrix clients, platforms, but could also bring more eyes to the overall matrix project - continuing a virtuous cycle!

That’s an incomplete definition.

“The classic definition, by François-Louis Ganshof (1944),[3] feudalism describes a set of reciprocal legal and military obligations among the warrior nobility revolving around the three key concepts of lords, vassals and fiefs.[3]“. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism

It included both economic and military relationships, but importantly: The granting of a landholding to a vassal did not relinquish the lord's property rights, but only the use of the lands and their income; the granting lord retained ultimate ownership of the fee and could, technically, recover the lands in case of disloyalty or death. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fief

Thus these relationships where in effect an extreme form of employment even among the nobility. Much like how joining the US Army has more obligations than going to work for Google.

Which VPN Is Best
HI, I use ExpressVPN, wondered if there are any better VPN's out there?
Probably because it doesn't matter. The only important thing is to make sure that the hardware doesn't mis-predict the bounds check.

Three challenges with CRISPR:

- find right change to make

- make that change in target cell without any off-target changes to other genes.

- efficiency - being able to change enough of the cells to have the desired effect.

The last one is probably the hardest if the cell type isn't something you can easily take out of the body, change, grow up and put back.
>meaning that which is free to consume is not free to make.

I guess it depends on what cost you want to include? I create content "for free" using my free time. Would you consider my mortgage, the cost of my computer, etc, to be part of the cost, so it is not "free" ? I wouldn't, because I would incur those costs whether or not I was making content "for free".

>I certainly remember people posting stuff on the internet for free out of their desire to share. I also remember lots of those people over the years shutting down their delightful sites because not having the time to keep doing things for free, nor the money to pay for the hosting or other things like that.

Yes, more and more all the time - exactly my point. And like I said in my original post, it is certainly there prerogative. If they don't enjoy it, they should stop.
How do they know that will lead to fire?

The big problem with marine technology isn't that it's totally impossible, it's that there's vast gulfs between various achievements and little sign that continued progress on some matter will lead somewhere. You could raise jellyfish to be transparent and lens shaped and build some telescopes, but how do you figure out that's a thing that might be a good idea? You might be able to turn an ocean vent into a forge, but how do you figure out that's a good idea? We had a path where we noticed certain rocks in a fire ooze useful metal, for instance. We didn't deduce from first principles the Periodic Table, guess the properties of metals from logic and maybe our interactions with (very soft!) silver and gold, determine it was likely that some of those colorful rocks are metallic salts, and then determine they might be useful to mine. We found they were useful to mine, then after thousands of years of civilization built on top of the resulting tools, only then figured out the why of a lot of those things.

This is one of those places where it's really a good idea to understand that despite the pretty Just So stories where science pre-dates engineering, in reality, engineering extremely frequently has predated science, at times by centuries. How are water-bound creatures going to figure out enough engineering to even get science going?

Certainly, as I said, they can breed things, but how do they even know where to try to go? How do they maintain the discipline to breed things over hundreds or thousands of generations? How do they get to genetic engineering?

There may be answers to this question but they sure aren't obvious.

I really enjoyed this story. However I did struggle on one part:

> Whitson, his 13-year-old son and girlfriend, Krystal Ramirez, had decided to spend Father's Day weekend backpacking the Arroyo Seco River.

It took me longer to parse this sentence than I should perhaps admit to. The first couple of reads lead me to believe his son and girlfriend were the same person.

One thing I've asked just about everyone who I've managed lately is if they have a job or a career? Folks with jobs normally have few skills that they do 9 - 5 Mon - Fri. They don't learn new skills, nor take on different work, they just come in do what's asked then leave. These are the folks who have the most problems when there is a shift in tech and some stack become obsolete. Folks with a career know they have to stay current in their skills as well as anticipate what coming down the pipe in their field.

This is more of an observation than a criticism, btw.

My suspicion is that people like declarative better than imperative. When a program reads as a definition it seems to be much more innocent than a bunch of commands.

Same split between descriptive/theoretical, and applied science. The first just increase knowledge - pure innocence without side-effects - the second may build bombs.

I find this highly unlikely. The groups inhabited the same continent, potentially for thousands of years. There would almost certainly have been some degree of interbreeding, even if some groups didn't end up contributing very significantly to our modern genome.

> Why Apple Did Not Announce The U1 Chip?

So with all of these amazing attributes, why did Apple not announce the Apple A1 Chip? I assert it is a confluence of things:

The iPhoneOS software needed is not yet released

Apple had too many things to announce at this Apple Event and this would take too much time
Apple is aware of the privacy implication many will cast and wants to spend more time to explain

I grew up in the Canadian prairies where people frequently did die from the cold. If your car broke down on a lonely road in midwinter, there was a real prospect of freezing to death. People there carried extra parkas, blankets, and thermal candles, but those could only keep you warm for several hours.

If you freeze to death in -10C weather, you were improperly clothed. But if you freeze in -50C weather, there's no amount of clothing in which you can both move around and stay warm for a long time. Here's a short story by Jack London with a realistic portrayal of that kind of cold: https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/to.... It gave me nightmares when I read it in grade school.

Nobody blamed the cold, because cold isn't a moral agent. But if you ask people living in the North "how bad would it be if winters got 5 degrees colder?", they would certainly expect more deaths.

If you can get people to treat it like a voice-activated commandline (“tea, Earl Grey, hot; Big Mac combo, medium, Sprite”), then sure, it’s probably doable. This is how people mostly use Alexa, Siri, etc. It’s not the greatest experience though, especially when there’s “state” to manipulate.

On the other hand, humans conversations assume a lot of background knowledge. “I’ll have a coffee if it’s fresh; orange juice otherwise” needs facts the system might not even have access to. You need to know a bit of pragmatics to figure out that “a cheeseburger with nothing on it” should still have cheese and a bun and exactly how many drinks and fries are being ordered when someone says “Two cheeseburger happy meals and one chicken nugget. I’ll have crispy chicken sandwich too. Fries and milk for the kids; just a Diet Coke for me.”

It’s obviously not impossible to figure this stuff out, but it might require emulating more of a teenager than you might naively imagine.

"Where in CA can I buy a house/apt and rent it out for more than the mortgage+insurance+taxes+maintenance?"

Anecdata for sure, but I know of more than a handful of landlords in SF that charge more rent (and get more rental income) than mortgage+insurance+taxes+maintenance. Moreover, that equation ignores the increase in value of the property. You are confusing cashflow with making money, which are two very different things.

My current landlord just bought our entirely rent-controlled building three years ago. As part of the sale/marketing, gross income from the building was made available at a very granular level. It is certain that our landlord is losing money in terms of income-(mortgage+insurance+taxes+maintenance). However, it is equally certain that the landlord has profited greatly. First you have the fact that the building itself has increased in value by about 20% over the last three years. Accordingly, the landlord has made a profit in the low seven figures. Second, you have the straightline depreciation, which is a massive tax benefit if you have other appreciable income.
