There are theories Epstein was an asset of a US intelligence agency and had their protection. He was useful to compromise people in power. ”You had sex with an underage girl? Too bad we have that on tape. From now on do as we say.“ The apparatus has no interest in pursuing the case further to avoid exposing and losing all the people they control/compromised.

Having heard very few people espouse that opinion (which I share), I appreciate that you shared it. Somehow it seems very rare that parents consider their children's capacity for suffering before insisting that they exist without the chance to be asked if they actually want such an existence. Everyone just rolls the dice without truly knowing what they're getting into and assumes that "of course my kids will enjoy life, they're mine." It needs to change, in my opinion.

I scored 100% on your quiz. I imagine it's pretty easy for anyone who has spent a bit of time studying the abstract expressionist movement. The respecting of space/the canvas is telling.

WRT Abstract Expressionism being promoted by the CIA, I fail to find why that means the art is neither good nor valuable. Can you expand on why that matters? If the CIA backed/touted an artist you _do_ respect, would that immediately set them in the "meme-tier"?

Perfect, except no refund offered!
Agree. I didn't really pay much attention to art until I visited the Rijksmuseum during the renovation and saw the Night Watch in person in an empty, quiet room. It transformed what I understood about art (the dynamic range of that painting, as well as the characters who inhabit it, are both extraordinary). That led me down the rabbit hole of classic Dutch Masters and when I see things like Pollock, I really wonder if I'm missing some extraordinary thing that separates his work from that of a 3 year old flinging paint.
I remember seeing a story about a replica Cray-1 in miniature some time ago. Was wondering if this was the same machine.

The Cray-1 was really distinctive in so many ways.

Sounds like a fitting end for the project.

They had to use a tall skinny woman and a short woman to hook wires up from the inside. Shortest path between any point is the best way to increase speed. Love cray, you get a case of beer when you buy one!
This is a tricky tradeoff. Making products disposable can also allow different manufacturing choices that lead to less material being used up front or a more robust structure for the same material cost resulting in a lower failure rate, or lighter products and hence reduced impact from shipping. If the failure rate is low enough, those factors can beat out repairability and result in a product with lower environmental costs and resource usage on net.

This is a rare situation, but for small items with low failure rates and usable lifetimes of at least a few years, it can definitely happen.
My phone runs 2FA for almost everything. Missing my hard 2FA token, my phone is my only way of accessing a lot of stuff that I usually only have on my phone.

When my phone (5X) bootlooped on a trip (before I had the hard token) and I needed to access my email for plane ticket info/etc, I couldn't 2FA into anything.. I had to remember what airline I was flying, call them, then sort out details I was relying on having on my calendar or in my email.

Legit panic as I couldn't miss work and had spent hundreds on travel arrangements. I learned my lesson and got a backup hard token (and a backup for the backup that sits in a lock box) and I should probably drop the phone based 2FA as well for just the hard token but it is very convenient.
Isn't there a 1 GB limit on network traffic though?

This makes sense. Another issue with counterfeits is that many consumers are unable to recognize them. Instead they'll think it's just a defective product and waste Nintendo customer service's time.
Oh of course, but those who had not yet been poisoned were protected. I guess I'm agreeing with you and adding the caveat that nearly everyone is already poisoned.
I've found decent success with /r/MechanicalKeyboards/ and a good chunk of the "classy" liquor subreddits (i.e. /r/scotch et all) since you tend to have a number or regulars who you can pick up a fairly solid taste from (how close they are to your own tastes) and can pretty reliably make decisions off of that.
It would be really hard for a QR app to take over your phone, even if it is poorly written and gets owned. There are layers of protection below the aps on an OS like iOS. I'm not saying it's absolutely impossible, but if someone figured it out they could sell the technique for literally millions of dollars to a huge assortment of potential buyers. They probably aren't going to waste it on you.
It's about those who seek for a job not about those who offer a remote job positions
Yes, and I could hire a team of "umvi experts" that study 1000 samples of my written signature. Then it would be really hard for people to forge my signature because I have a team of experts that have studied me to the point they know my subconscious nuances. That doesn't mean I have any skill whatsoever, it just means people wasted time training their neural nets to recognize my idiosyncrasies in order to prevent forgeries.
The above poster is still technically correct though, getting the cert is just 1 more obstacle in the way of the attack, which isn't as much of an obstacle as one would think for some actors(see China).
Other than iMessage, the principal reason I'm not on Android is because I absolutely adore my Apple Watch. I suspect there are many like me. Google Assistant on a watch that that worked as well as Apple's would be amazing. Despite years of runway, no OEM has been able to make a competitor to Apple Watch with Assistant. I think Google has decided they'll just have to do it themselves.

Four Levels of Code Reuse
I promise I’m not trying to start a flame war, but as an Emacs user this seems… commonplace. Are splits not a commonly used feature? I’ve used the equivalent for as long as I can remember in Emacs, so it doesn’t feel particularly esoteric. Or is it that this is just a commonly not fully-understood/utilized feature of Vim? If that’s the case, that is totally understandable. That’s basically my life with Emacs. :)

I’m curious: what features of Vim do you feel are essential to become a power user?
I'm really grateful for the explanation of Project Package Managers in this. I've never come across that term and it makes the idea of per-language package managers make a whole lot more sense to me, as long as they are used that way. Without that concept, I lean much more towards using system packages. I'm going to keep Project Package Manager in mind from now on.

I use a VPS at Hetzner, but a whole lot of traffic sites stop working when I am using the VPN.

I bet in part it is due to the CloudFlare's efforts to "Cleaning up Bad Bots" [1].
In this article under how they detect bots they write:

> Another model allows us to determine whether an IP address belongs to a VPN endpoint, a home broadband subscriber, a company using NAT or a hosting or cloud provider. It’s this last group that “Bot Cleanup” targets.

I suspect when use a VPN hosted on a VPS, you often end up classified as a bot to be cleaned up...

I never expected to go viral just for saying billionaires shouldn’t exist
> Nice. Remember the days when IT professionals would exclaim that this was a bad idea?

It has made some things more difficult. In the old days when I had problems with a remote IMAP server I could watch each command and response going over the wire. It made troubleshooting dead simple. When a POP3 mailbox got hung up on a single huge message you could just telnet in and delete the offending message in a few seconds. It's crazy to suggest that encrypting everything hasn't made things more complicated than they were. It hasn't been an insurmountable problem, and in an age where everyone wants to sell your browsing habits the rewards have been greater than the pain but it did make things harder.
But you can buy NFC tags for relatively cheap.
Resources to Become a Developer
I’ve made the same observation. It takes time for all of the implications of a choice (code or otherwise) to manifest themselves. And it’s these long term effects that make for valuable lessons.
You're supposed use parser generators for ASN.1. The reason ASN.1 is so difficult in TLS and other crypto standards is precisely because ASN.1 messaging is intermixed with ad hoc messaging (as in this case) and implicit state, which means you couldn't even use a parser generator for everything even if you wanted to.

The excellent open source ASN.1 compiler, asn1c (http://lionet.info/asn1c/compiler.html), can generate C data structures and a parser and composer for X.509 DER certificates from the formal ASN.1 description. But it's not widely used because, among other reasons, you end up having to write too much ad hoc parsing anyhow, which makes the investment in the parser generator seem not worthwhile. (AFAIU, asn1c is far more popular in the telecom industry, likely because telecom uses fully ASN.1-based messaging.)

Of course, if you're not going to use ASN.1 as intended, then the binary encoding (e.g. DER) can be quite tricky to parse using an ad hoc parser, including most parser combinators, mostly because TLV encodings aren't context-free. But I managed to write a full X.509 parser using LPeg. LPeg has an extension for match-time captures which provide a way to invoke a subexpression parameterized on the value of a previous match (e.g. the decoded length context), which can return match success or failure along with a resumption point to the parent expression. See http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2019-04/msg00226.html and http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/#matchtime

I feel like there's simply no good answer here. The fundamental problem is the tension among 1) strictly specified, formalized protocols (which ASN.1 DER absolutely provides), 2) efficiency in time and space (ASN.1 DER does well, PER takes it to an extreme), 3) the need for forward compatibility so protocols can incrementally evolve (partly technical, partly a social management issue), and of course 4) ease of implementation. Context-free encodings help with #3 and #4, but fail at #2 (e.g. field names aren't necessary, and variable length values require a more complex encoding), and in a security context cause problems with #1 (better to have a failed parse than to successfully parse unknown elements that you ignore).
Slightly off topic, but I had a Jackson Pollock party in my garage where some friends and I got wine drunk and danced around the garage splattering paint everywhere (preferably on canvases on the ground). We didn't exactly produce anything worth $200M but it was tons of fun and I would highly recommend it.

One thing I did learn though was that it would take a lot of effort to get anything close to actual Pollock. His stuff really is more than "random paint splashes".

Try it if you don't believe me.
And if you follow the YouTube link in the article, you'll find that the "video" was taken down due to a copyright claim.
And yet, his suicide and mental problems helped to his popularity after death. Had he drew same pictures without such fascinating story, he would be known less.

Intrinsic value is about what you value. Which may be million different things and changes over time.
How often does this happen? Doing a fresh clone should be a last resort.
In certain situations people are so used to perform certain actions on their phones that they're caught by surprise if the phone is dead.

Boarding a train or bus, for example. You can pay using your phone, if it dies on your way and you don't have cash, that's a problem.

When you put on GPS to drive somewhere, and the phone dies midway. None has city maps anymore.

Making last minute plan changes in a group. If you don't have your phone, you won't get the latest messages.

Myself for example I've stopped carrying a debit card to withdraw money from ATMs because my banking app generates a code that I can use it.

And many others. Now I know _every single one_ of these has a work around, but most of them are "just plan ahead and have an alternative if your phone dies". After years and years of just using phones, people simply don't carry around cash or quarters for a phone call anymore.

It could still be a good example. You know that Timex and Casio are decent purveyors of low-cost watches. You know the difference between a traditional watch brand and a newfangled fashion brand. But someone who is buying a watch for the first time might not. The market is so saturated with cheap crap, and YouTube is full of videos peddling luxury brands. Confused with the apparent polarization, the newbie asks around, and the friendly neighborhood watch enthusiast tells them to get a Tissot or Hamilton instead. Of course that's nowhere near high-end, but they've still paid 10x more unnecessarily.
People very often do say the opposite, though.

Telling how this very reasonable, “maybe things aren’t completely black and white” comment got downvoted.
Thanks for the recommendations. I am more looking for an app sort of, that allows to post directly.

I will look into CMS.

In regards to Squarespace like site builders, I have already domain and my website (just basic html and css). So, I am just looking for a service/system that allows me to host and it's app let me post directly.
Maybe a better business model is to offer this as a service to site owners who are not tech savvy. Site owners then have the ability to offer an API to new customers making it a win / win. Site owners can now offer an API (free or paid), and API consumer can rely on getting data in the future.
The issue is already the for-profit services inside the state run jails. Commissary deposits may take 10% straight off the top, or you might be forced to pay $50 for a thirty minute video call with no visitation available, in addition to the older milking of call rates.
