Your comment is accurate enough except for:

> no difference ... gravitationally.

"practically no difference ... gravitationally, provided one is at a very large distance compared to the outer surface of an astrophysical black hole." would be more accurate.

Up close to a real black hole additional shear and tension becomes obvious, although you will generally be in the region that would be close to the surface of a star of comparable mass.

Astrophysical black holes are more complicated objects than the theoretical Vaidya-Bonnor-Kerr (VBK) black holes, especially when they are not isolated. VBK black holes absorb radiation and emit Hawking radiation (V part), including self-interacting matter (B part, although that is mostly dealing with classical electromagnetism), and they also rotate (K part). VBK breaks several symmetries: the exterior spacetime is not static, not stationary, and spherical symmetry goes to axial symmetry, including all the incoming and outgoing radiation. Real rotating black holes would break axial symmetry because real matter tends to clump (in particular theoretical VBK exterior matter does not look like accretion discs).

Small perturbations of the axial symmetry of VBK black holes tend to cause black holes to spin up as matter falls onto them. There is observational support to suggest that most real black holes are likely spinning extremely rapidly. The Kerr vacuum around a VBK is equipped with regions in which objects are dragged around in the direction of the VBK black hole's rotation. As the original angular momentum of the star may be increased by infalling material, a real black hole likely has a strong region extending well outside of where the surface of a star of comparable mass would be. While the dragging effect falls off quickly with distance outside the outermost surface of the outermost of these regions, if we replaced the sun with a real black hole which rotates at extremely high rates, all eight planets' orbits would precess compared to their orbits around the sun. Given enough observation time, this would be especially noticeable for objects on high-inclination, low-ellipticity orbits, even if they are near the outer edge of the Oort cloud. Reducing the angular momentum dramatically increases the observation time needed to distinguish gravitationally between a (growing!) solar-mass black hole and a (shrinking!) solar-mass star.

Beyond the Oort cloud things aren't gravitationally bound to our solar system anyway, so by the time you're a couple hundred thousand astronomical units away, you are on safe territory with practical gravitational indistinguishability.

In terms of light and radiation, though, swapping the sun for a solar-mass black hole would be pretty noticeable, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poynting%E2%80%93Robertson_eff... or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarkovsky_effect

We're not talking about 6 year olds here. We're talking about "children" that are at times not even minors, whose parents are trying to control every aspect of their lives well beyond any reasonable limit.
This is obviously an absurd situation but I don't understand why people seem personally offended by it.

This isn't public money. It's their money to lose and if they do it's they who suffer the consequences.

It's their right to be stupid. As long as the do it on their and their non public investor's dime.

From the article:

>Retina-X and Johns marketed one of the apps, called MobileSpy, to monitor employees and children. Retina-X promoted two other apps, called PhoneSheriff and TeenShield, to monitor mobile devices used by children. Retina-X sold more than 15,000 subscriptions to all three stalking apps before the company stopped selling them in 2018.

MobileSpy's website [1] is still up but they now have an "apology" for getting hacked from 2018:

>Regrettably Retina-X Studios, which offers cutting edge technology that helps parents and employers gather important information on devices they own, has been the victim of sophisticated and repeated illegal hackings. Over the past year, Retina-X Studios has begun to implement steps designed to enhance our security measures which had the positive outcome of restricting data obtained by the hackers in the most recent intrusion. No personal data was accessed, but some photographic material of TeenShield and PhoneSheriff customers has been exposed.

These apps also appear to be Android only. I don't see how they could run something like this without a jailbreak.

Has the author of this piece never been on youtube, or worldstar, or twitter, vine, tiktok... Physical comedy still exists, the risks have just been relegated to the masses, rather than the comedian who wants to have a long career free of pain.

Further, slapstick still has a lot of life in cartoons. The old Loony Tunes and Merry Melodies were chock full of physical comedy, and modern cartoons continue to carry that torch.

Physical Comedy isn't in decline, it's just moved out of the mainstream.
I find it a very human contradiction that parents responded both in extreme resentment and by leaning in to it. When it felt like their sons were being stolen away from them, the parents were willing to disfigure them in order to prevent them from being sent off. But later on, when Devshirme became prestigious and a path towards potential power or a viziership, the parents were suddenly bribing scouts to take their sons.
Happiness ends after episode 13. The next couple episodes are somewhat depressing but everything starts truly falling apart in episode 16 and it only gets worse from there. The characters never recover.
This is something I don't understand. There must be a sane reason, right?

I mean, they can't be so bloody stupid to have put the biggest airport in Europe on the western outskirts of a city and then have made a major landing strip come in from the east.

To your point, airplanes coming in basically bathe the entire city east to west in noise.
Agreed, but I was only looking at it from a legal perspective.
That means you’re not an engineer.

That’s not an insult, I’m sure you’re quite skilled. But outside of the software industry “engineer” is a term that signifies certification.
If by "use software" you mean "pick a time library for your product", then I think I agree.

If you mean "use software" then this seems a little extreme.
What I usually see if just poorly implemented tagging. For example, if Google Analytics javascript breaks then so do the links I want to click. I’ve seen it on my 529 plan website and in other places. I suppose tracking blockers could forge GA and other javascript objects to avoid this but what a battle this becomes.

Just like anything other crime, if you do it enough to make serious money they'll dedicate resources to going after it. It's the difference between being a dealer and a kingpin and there's not much money to be made being a dealer.

Also, odds are the SEC is punching the names of anyone who makes it big day trading into some NSA type database and if they know anyone who would have had the information that link will be followed up on.
Yes. Do the analysis.
This is happening because capital is cheap. People want two contradictory things - they want capital to be more expensive, so it's not wasted, and less environmental destruction happens, things are built to last, it's worth repairing stuff, and so on. But we also want wages to be higher, which only is meaningful on a society level relative to the price of capital and makes all the other problems worse.

The problem as I see it has nothing to do with contingent facts about the world, it's that everyone inherently wants logically incompatible things.

I don't think anyone is under the delusion that non-technical users are going to use sshuttle, but not everyone has the will to invest the time and effort doing server side configuration of a VPN client for their personal use. sshuttle makes it simple for anyone who is the least bit familiar with ssh and has some kind of server access or is happy to spin up a VPS quickly, nothing more is necessary.

It's a little too tightly coupled to my Firefox account, which I don't like. I use separate profiles for home and work, and usually share the same set of passwords. LastPass or Bitwarden are independent from my browser account, and travel with me if I decide to switch accounts or even browsers.

Every administration has a problem. You are the one who brought some "progressive" nonsense in the first place, when you yourself know that it's not a political party issue. It's a problem with our politics which is sold out to the highest bidder.

Oligarchs in our system are people funding lobbyists. How else do you think Oligarchs work?

Let's be rational and remove the blame game. Focus on the problem and we know none of the political leaders are doing anything to fix it.

Western countries are importing immigrants that someone else has already paid to educate. If an engineer moves to US from India, Indian government and the Immigrant / their family have already invested in that person's education.

People who aren't lawyers have an inflated sense of the legal consequences of breaking an embargo.

The damage to TC is reputational, if that. This isn't the first embargo TC has broken and it won't be the last. If anything, they've developed a reputation as the place to send leaks to.
Although I agree with the general notion, social proof and a good track record are not bad indicators. I will always recommend Mullvad if you are looking for a VPN service that is trustworthy.

This doesn't contribute to conversation at all and seems to be implying something that's incorrect. Verbal agreement (e.g. even telling someone out loud "I agree to do this for you for $10") is a form of legal contract. Enforceability/provability is a different story but legally that's a contract.
Before anyone buys a vps from Lowend talk like he recommends, most of the providers on there are trash-tier and massively over-sell their services which is why they seem cheap but performance ends up very poor. And why would i trust a vps vendor with 10 customers over a VPN provider?

I'm absolutely not childless. I was a full-time wife and mom for a lot of years.

I'm sorry you feel so defensive and feel such a strong need to justify your choices rather than contemplate the possibility that some people who disagree with you have a fine parenting track record, have been at it longer than you and have thought a great deal about some things.

I wish very much that I had a means to educate more parents. But I am no longer a full-time wife. I have bills to pay and I still support my adult special needs sons and the world has made it abundantly clear that the things I know and wish to share are not worth money.

But in a nutshell, there are hidden costs to the kind of approach you are taking. It is akin to the saying "Going to war to preserve the peace is like fucking to preserve virginity."

I chose to not tell my children "There are bad people out there that will want to do unspeakable things to you, so you should be afraid, very afraid." because I felt that would rob them of the very innocence I desired to protect and preserve. Instead, I taught them by example what genuine respect looks and feels like by setting the standard for that with how I treated them.

They were taught they could say "No" to people -- including me -- for things like hugs and kisses. They were taught it was their decision, not mine.

But I would happily play enforcer. If someone didn't respect their decision, "Come get mom."

My oldest inferred based on his experiences that protecting himself from a bully with violent force was completely reasonable when he was at school and getting Mom was not an option. He didn't even feel it was noteworthy and I learned that story years later.

Rumaging through your daughter's phone sets a precedent that future boyfriends or husbands can take advantage of to her detriment. And there are better policies that achieve the same thing without that.

My sons have been online since they were two and five. I arranged kid-friendly menus to help them find things of interest to them easily with little risk of exposure to undesirable parts of the internet.

They were not constrained. They didn't want such exposure. They were happy to stick to the things I helped them access that met their needs without having to be hassled with this other stuff.

I know this is a touchy subject and you will probably be offended. But it's touchy because both sides of the argument are personally invested, not because your personal investment somehow trumps mine.

I was molested and raped as a child. I thought long and hard about how to protect my children not just physically, but also emotionally and psychologically. They are old enough that I've gotten to see the fruits of my labor.

Unfortunately, no one wants to know what I did. I'm just a woman, so I must be stupid or something.

We all have our bag of rocks to carry in this crappy world.
Why wouldn't it be legal?
I would say that is pre-2016. After 2016, journalism as a profession became extremely fast and loose. A "we'll apologize if we're wrong" approach took over, plus zero accountability or consequences for false information.

On the bright side, the SEC will eventually ask how this happened. Not that they do any serious enforcement these days.

"... because the provider can see all your traffic!"

However, if you don't use a VPN: Your ISPs (Broadband, coffee shop, whatever) can see all your traffic!

20 years ago I passed ALL my traffic on my laptop through a VPN, I just happened to run my own. But back then much less of the standard traffic was encrypted. Now, pretty much all web traffic is encrypted. So that makes the VPN less of a concern, IMHO. Depends on what you're doing though...

There was this one time I went to Defcon. Installed a scratch laptop for it. The firewall on it would only allow DHCP and OpenVPN on the physical interfaces.
How do I make money while I am doing this?
> seems to be implying something that's incorrect

I think they were referring to the contradiction of "verbal agreement... especially if it's in writing." But yeah, the snarky comment does not help anybody with anything.
yes, exactly this
That's true, but there were several other points of contention too. The guy that interviewed me was the head of the group I would be working in and I could tell the things we valued were incompatible.
I suppose it does give Apple more control. If they decide they don't want a specific update to work any longer, they can let it expire and then folks would need to use something else (like a newer/safer update that covers the same patch).

For EFI (per the screenshot) I wonder if they are looking to protect against the risk of an update that introduces an EFI vulnerability. Unless Apple is checking a certificate revocation list (or similar) then an attacker could apply that vulnerable update. Letting it expire sets a limit for how long it can be exploited. Just a guess.
Also, Kill La Kill.

It’s by the same director as Gurren Lagann, and is a strange mix of excessive fan service and reverse Bechdel Test failure.
Part of me is happy to see this, IMO CSDs do make applications look cleaner and more aesthetic.

The other part though expects this to be a compatibility nightmare. Are XFCE CSDs going to work out of the box in GNOME? KDE? Are we going to fragment Linux applications a third time, adding in XFCE-specific apps to the GNOME and KDE/QT fragmentation we already have?

Free software is great, but it's not efficiently developed. That's why it's been so hard for people to get a satisfactory Linux on the desktop GUI and it's still a crapshoot to even get all of a laptop working .
We need a law where if they want to use those at night, they need to cover them up somehow (has to be retractable, because they'll still want free natural sunlight in the daytime).

That'll never happen though. "It costs too much".

So, they'll steal the night sky from us and give us nothing in return.

If public art is worth investing millions in per city, then what is the value of preserving the view of the night sky?

Why don't we just paint everything grey and all wear grey clothes and eat soylent every meal and have nothing left that's beautiful. We can work in windowless offices to save money on windows. Maybe we can cover up the sunset next.

Bah.

Never implied that. The study of radar operators in the military specifically states that the cancer could be caused by anything, calling out industrial solvents often used when servicing radar equipment.

Self Driving Cars: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence
>There is no way for you to verify that, and of course this is what a malicious VPN provider would claim as well. In short: the only safe assumption is that every VPN provider logs.

If the VPN provider has been ordered by a US court to produce log information, and they have appeared in court responding that it is not possible for them to do so as such logs do not exist, and the court has accepted this as true, that is adequate 'proof' in my eyes. It is something which puts them in the position of being extremely legally liable for in a way that advertising 'no logs' does not, since prosecution for false advertising is a joke.

The whole point of Evangelion is a lot of these people are mentally unwell. Watching Evangelion for the “fights” only works up to the 5th or so episode.. after that most of the violence is psychological (there are a couple of opponents which are ONLY psychological)

That’s why it’s considered good by the people who consider it good (I think it’s brilliant and one of the greatest pieces of motion art of the last century) - because although it can be classified as “mecha” anime it’s really about damaged people. There are plenty of great pieces of motion art that are not about damaged people. Evangelion is not one of them.
