Reported directly to the police or other authorities? It's probably quite realistic in those scenarios for something that Facebook's systems have missed for it to be found by someone eventually and escalated.

There's a little ambiguity in there, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's "misleading".
What also makes moderation hard is that it can be abused. For example, anyone who is influential and persuasive enough can be labelled a Nazi by political opponents and targeted campaigns can be run to get them deplatformed

I guess I could carry around a keyboard and cable everywhere but that seems suboptimal.

If I were arguing by analogy I would ask why we allow door locks. Door locks let people do bad things inside their houses. Yet we are all safer from criminals because of them, overall. And it also helps keep police honest about getting a warrant first before they disturb your house.
1) easy, theoretically. See below for practical.
2) no matter how you these days, someone is always offended. Either because they are unable to create a proper perspective for themselves (I am sorry if this is wrong pronoun for you reader, I am not aware what you prefer), or they don't want to create one.

> If it's so bad for privacy and isn't necessary for a CDN, does Cloudflare the CDN simply disregard ECS when receiving requests from DNS.Google, or do they take it into account?

It's not because it can be bad for privacy that you can't use it for good. The feature exist for a good reason, it's valid, it doesn't change anything to the fact though that it can be use for bad reasons too, which is why you want to remove it. In the means time, there's no reasons not to use it for good reason while it's still there.

>>> One of our main reasons for choosing Apache Spark had been its ability to handle very large datasets (larger than what you can fit into memory on a single node) and its ability to distribute computations over a whole cluster of machines ... We cannot fit all of our datasets in memory on one node, but that is also not necessary, since we can trivially shard datasets of different projects over different servers, because they are all independent of one another.

So this seems to be the massive takeaway - if you need to operate on a whole dataset that is larger than one node's memory capacity then you have to go distributed. Else it still seems an overhead barely worth the effort.

So Google: dataset is all web pages on the internet - yes that's too large go distributed.

Totally agree. It's a cool idea that going very deep in a certain field yields benefits which were unimaginable in the beginning (or to others).
Its important that enforcing the law be difficult and expensive. It prevents tyranny by keeping the governments tools of oppression tied up dealing with necessities. It creates a cost for enforcing every new hypothetical restriction.

You can't forge carbon. It's not malleable. It shatters if you try to forge it. Are you making a joke about people being gullible, or are there some exotic solid-state physics involved here that I don't know about?

Oh, apparently you mean molded plastic with a chopped carbon-fiber filler? Heh.
My experience is limited, but from what I can tell from my local coverage in Kitchener ON, it's rare that a driver is faulted for hitting a person walking, regardless of the circumstances. And even when a driver is charged following a collision, when you follow those up a few months later, they all end up dropped or being settled— either way, the person driving is back on the road almost immediately.

But regardless of the legal story, the real judgment begins when media coverage uses the passive voice and insists that everything is an accident, rather than a collision, see: https://usa.streetsblog.org/2018/03/28/how-coverage-of-pedes...

I recommend Richard Rorty -- though given your interests and background you may already be familiar with him. If not, try "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature."

I think of him as someone who takes continental philosophy but learned to write and think in the analytic tradition.

Have you ever tried the "Falcon" Z-77 keyboard? It's been rebranded/knocked off by several Chinese manufacturers (different brands all have the same distinct falcon logo in the top middle of the keyboard) and is available on Amazon for around $30.

I bought one (the HUO JI version) after encountering several reviews from folks saying it compared favorably with their $100+ boards. I'm quite happy with it, and it's hard to have any idea if I'm missing out on anything and, if so, what I'm missing out on.

This kind of blows my mind about this, and I'm surprised that everyone seems to be focused on conspiracy theories about Cloudflare instead of the apparent situation that archive.is is intentionally breaking fundamental behavior of the internet because they don't they aren't getting information they want from Cloudflare.

Internet protocols were designed to be redundant and resilient, so that things still work when things break and traffic takes other paths. When people do shit like this, we get a less reliable, less functional internet. Demanding to know the exact subnet a request originated from, and returning incorrect results when that information is not given, seems to me a thoroughly hostile behavior on the part of archive.is.
Slow people cause traffic jams, which in turn cause accidents. I've read multiple papers and articles about how slow left-lane travel causes safety hazards for everyone involved due to passing on the right, which is objectively less safe, causing more lane changes than is otherwise necessary for those trying to get around them, and the big one, causing deviations in the "norm" speed in a flow of traffic, which is the single best indicator for where accidents will occur.

I'd be happier still if we could not have people who go too slow or too fast, but failing that and given the choice between, if fast people are left to their business to cruise at whatever speed in the left lane, unobstructed by slow drivers, everyone is demonstrably safer. But because people conflate moving slowly with moving safely, it's considered taboo to say that out loud.
That's not what they ruled at all. They ruled that saying it in Austrian jurisdiction violates an old (and frankly ridiculous) Austrian blasphemy law.
Just looked up the settlement: it seems crazy to me that the hotel could be held liable for the shooting. Is there really an expectation for the hotel to keep tabs on what its guests are doing?

Edit: I looked into it further: MGM was insured for 751M for the payout and I suppose they figured an additional 100M to get it out of their hair was worth it. The existence of a settlement doesn't create a precedent, but I worry about these incremental movements towards a society where there is some expectation of invasive tracking.
Also safety, or the pretence of safety. Who's going to be the architect signing off on an obscure narrow alleyway with poor visibility and hidden recesses in a major metro area today?

We're obviously living in some of the safest times there's ever been, but that probably plays on some minds (alongside the "it's more efficient to build straight lines" part).

> is more dangerous to you

Emphasis on "to you". I consider it worse to be careless with other people's lives than with my own. I could cause someone else's death with my bicycle, but it's less common than in a car.

Additionally, I'm not cycling on the highway. I'm cycling on mixed-use roads, the majority of which have bike lanes. None of these are car-only roads. Those do exist, but I don't bike on them.
Well if you're hit while lane splitting, it's because someone didn't indicate or look
The same is declared for algo riddles but that's not the case, similarly.
If the encryption was successful and 'unbreakable' it better be just 1s and 0s.
Often there is no other alternative. If you ride a bike for transportation, you have to live with traffic. Trails and bike lanes are almost non-existent. If you ask, most cyclists would love to not ride in traffic. We are always advocating for dedicated trails and protected lanes so we don't have to ride with large vehicles.

I would be fine restricting bikes to trails and dedicated bike lanes, if they existed. In the meantime we have to find a way to live together, like roommates in an apartment.
Yes, that's a real problem - and I think those "arbitrary values" even vary by manufacturer. The best strategy I can come up with right now is ordering a pair of contact lenses based on a "best guess", possibly by an optician, based on your values for glasses.

Then, check whether they are over- or under-correcting and order another pair with slightly different values under the assumption that your initial "best guess" was off. Then, compare and repeat..

"If the Police have a legit reason to access a property they go to court and get a warrent, and if they need to they'll kick the door in to get in."
That's what currently takes, place, Government doesn't have the keys, they have to use force to get in, or other methods. (However there are physical limits to materials, so there is usually a way to break in)

But, by having a special key that opens all the doors, anyone could copy it - yes rules can put in place to who as access, etc, etc, but by knowing there is a "hole" in each device, every possible malicious agent will try and break it as soon as possible. Then what?

We have seen examples by Law Enforcement officers using accesses to gather data that would required a court order, but they didn't have one, and it was for personal reasons. So, how does that work out?

Why don't drivers? Driving is the biggest killer of young people.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I haven't had any acute illnesses that drove my own dietary changes but I too have completely cut alcohol and refined sugar from my diet and I generally feel great in my body. I did strict Keto for about 8 months (less than 10 net grams of carbs per-day) and it made me feel really good but I couldn't keep it up with weightlifting. Nowadays I follow a low-ish carb paleo diet which makes me feel pretty good and seems to strike the right balance between healthy fats and okay carbs.
In the latter case it's just as easy to catch real IP addresses by sitting in front of authoritative DNS servers and actual servers those DNS records point to. As I said, you just can't justify it as a privacy feature. It does nothing significant in any threat model.
"explicitly on a stack" in the sense that Forth directly exposes the presence of the parameter stack to a programmer, in contrast to the stack that, say, a C program uses.

Just in case this strikes anyone as dismissive, I too sincerely miss the old, beige keyboards that used to come with things like the old IBM, Tiny, MiTac, and Amiga brands I scavenged as a teenager.
