I am surprised there hasn't be a bigger spotlight shed on the concepts developped by Michel Foucault around Biopower [0] and the genesis of the modern state.
See for example this excerpt of Discipline and punish [1] on what quarantine was like:

"First, a strict spatial partitioning: the closing of the town and its outlying districts, a prohibition to leave the town on pain of death, the killing of all stray animals; the division of the town into distinct quarters, each governed by an intendant. Each street is placed under the authority of a syndic, who keeps it under surveillance; if he leaves the street, he will be condemned to death."

I wouldn't say it's taken all the whimsy, but the community attempts to keep an "encyclopedic" tone.

In same cases it's turned into overcorrection from the good old Wikipedia days when, for example, the article about vampires was mostly not about actual vampire bats, or even about folklore vampires, but about a self-proclaimed "lifestyle" of people who supposedly consider themselves "real vampires". I remember those days! It was fun to see the rampant edit wars between serious and fringe editors.
I think 4chan still does this to generate their site. It's all plaintext files -- even the "api" is just flat JSON files! It would be interesting to see what caching instructions they send to the CDN, because you can definitely notice it sometimes if you're refreshing busy threads.

Seriously... where and when in the last 50 years in modern society was modesty ever a virtue? I certainly wouldn't expect anything like that at Princeton in the US.

Otherwise an interesting essay nevertheless, but I certainly don't agree with all the points.

If I just want a persistent connection, then the nested tmux that takes 2+ useless lines in the bottom already falls into the "it doesn't work well" category.

Def part of our inspiration, but very different from what she is up too.
Most userdir hosting allows you to run CGI, PHP and whatever other scripting supported by Apache. Stuff that required a persistent connection to the server (I.e. WSGI) usually isn't supported... almost every cPanel host out there is set up in this manner... Unfortunately the path part of a URL is not used for same origin, so the security issue being floated is real for myhost.com/~someuser.

I have recently reached to a conclusion that it must be an auto-gating feature built into human brains.

Those baseless beliefs, conspiracy theories, denials and other seemingly pointless normalcy biases seems to occur when the reality is somewhat “substantial”, even if it might not be for you/me right now.

I can’t say which of those people are ill, those who have , or those who don’t have that kind of “plain wrong internet opinions”, because the former could be a more environment resilient form of thinking. Those people are functional IRL, so there must be more than just being idiots.

I mean, it certainly allows a lot of logical simplification... what if that was one requirement for self sustaining sentience...to be able to be casually schizophrenic? That would be too much of reality for me...

From the link:

"For bureaucratic reasons, a colleague of mine had to print, sign, scan and send by email a high number of pages. To save trees, ink, time, and to stick it to the bureaucrats, I wrote this script."

So yes, it does seem like there are situations where a "digital" signature is insufficient.
I had no idea about that config, but I've seen the behavior before. That behavior is even more interesting considering that Firefox will hide the 'www' subdomain in the URL[1]. So not only will it silently add the www, but it also won't show it in the URL! SMH!

This one worked quite reliably for me with about 180g of flour. https://www.hefe-und-mehr.de/en/2015/05/brotbacken-fr-anfnge...

You can always ask around in your friendly neighborhood forum for a starter culture, there's a lot of people that are willing to share.

If you have bakers yeast, you can just feed it and multiply the amount trivially: Half a cube (20g) or 7g dry yeast, mix with 15g sugar, 100g flour, 100g water, let rise for an hour or two in a warm place. Fill in icecube form, freeze. Each cube is about half as strong as a "regular" cube, so you may need to experiment a little with rising time for your dough.
Yeast came back in stock at my local stores just as the flour ran out.

The act of marking the sig field shows your intent to bind to the contract. You can digitally sign but there are a couple extra steps to confirm the intent and identity that aren't hard but are just hard enough to make DocuSign a lot of money and leave everybody else to print/sign/scan their stuff.

Signature on a piece of paper says "I read this and agree with what's written so I've put a unique piece of ink there to show my agreement" doesn't really matter what you put there if all parts agree on its validity.

This always reminds me of the following Feynman story about how we do something as "simple" as counting:

http://calteches.library.caltech.edu/607/2/Feynman.pdf

Anecdotally, most people I've asked (myself included) seem to have an easier time counting in their first langugae, even if they haven't spoken it very often in years (I'm far more fluent in my second language, English). So it seems like for many mental tasks, there can be a variety of neural implementations.

OTOH early sensory areas in the brain all seem more or less isomorphic (modulo injury & disease). Where, when, how do individual brains start to diverge?
Well, that actually needs to be transparent to be useful for the way I want to use it. I can't even understand why would one need sub-modules so far. The actual reason is to have different members (i.e. every method) or sets of members of a same class to be implemented in separate files. I just hate to have long code files and to have code above and below a function declaration.

Partial classes in C# are an example of how can that be implemented the way I like it. The only problem with the C# way is it adds an additional indentation level. I would prefer the module (or even the class) to be declared in the beginning of the file without contributing to indentation.
how big are the deals?

Also, I'm confused are you reselling the service? or this is clients for the digital marketing agency?

Not sure about agencies, but generally for saas it's CAC should be 1/3 of LTV.

LTV would be margin for the life of a customer. So, if a customer is you $1000/ month for your service and you have $300 after paying for someone to do the service and they stick around on average 12 months. that's $3600. A third of that is around $1200.

For sales and marketing I wouldn't look at it as what can I get away with paying. Figure out how much you can afford to pay and pay it.

sales & marketing is a bigger pie activity. the more sales the more there is for everyone.
>most things are just assumed.

ah! but thats the problem - most assumed things are wrong. it is non-trivial to generate a set of assumptions that matches observations with the current technology and with all future technology, with no base from which to derive your new laws.
I have to disagree that the misspelling "referer" has "become a widely used spelling" even with the qualification "in the industry when discussing the HTTP referrers", a qualification too specific to be useful, in my opinion. In my experience getting the spelling wrong leads to much frustration and annoyance to this day.

I think they meant “bot or human”, not “malicious or good”. Bot != malicious. And these challenges will do no good to non malicious bots.
Came here to mention Guerrilla Mail as well -- I'm using it with end-to-end tests successfully, but it can be slow (~30 seconds for an email to be available). I believe it's slow because it's popular, so I imagine this will happen to unverified.email as well.

But I'm curious about your statement:

> if you're intent on not letting users sign up with disposable email addresses (and you shouldn't be)

Why not? It seems like some people are eager to not be on any mailing lists, and the worst downside seems to be that they won't able to reset their password.

Yahoo.com et al. are still available to create one-off emails to allow someone to get past a (say) 14-day free trial every 14 days, so how does blocking these guys help?

> This may lead some members of the public to be lax about ... washing their hands frequently and thoroughly. Moreover, donning [a] mask may lead some people to touch their faces more, some argued.

> simply touching their mask could contaminate their hands if there are viral particles caught on the outside ... a mask wearer could then transfer virus particles from their mask to their face

"May". "May". "Some argued". "Could". "If". "Could".

> negating any benefit of having the mask.

So even with all the above steps that have to occur, it's still no worse than getting a face-full of Covid directly.

Almost every stupid, pointless, dangerous argument against masks boils down to:

People may not wear a mask properly.
People may not wash their hands properly.

The first one is used as an argument against masks, so why is the second not only not used as an argument against hand washing, but also used in arguments against masks?

People don't always practice social distancing. So why don't people argue against that? Oh, because that too is reserved for arguments against masks.

It's fucking ridiculous. Why do some people continue to spend so much time and effort trying to discourage use of potentially life-saving items?
This article may not be the best example, but there's good evidence that inner experiences differ, based on our actual capabilities, e.g., Feynman's/Tukey's experiment that one could count time while reading but not talking, and the other could count time while talking but not reading.

Even in the article they say... "Google provided reCAPTCHA for free in exchange for data from the service being used to train its visual identification systems." ... I thought this was one of those win/win things... Google gets something, websites get something... what's changed? Is Google not getting much out of reCAPTCHA now?

I'm most certainly not opposed to saving lives. But we can't just mindlessly approve whatever "solutions" the government comes up with. Some "solutions" are bound to do more harm than good, and mass-surveillance is a prime example considering its potential for abuse. Just as people die from disease, people also die from tyrannical governments. Even if we assume that your government, however unlikely, would forever continue to wield its power wisely, other governments wouldn't care. If we justify the use of mass-surveillance, we would give other tyrannical governments a free pass and more people would be killed or tortured as a consequence. But unlike pandemics, time won't cure tyrannical governments.
I can't visualize, but I have all those. So for example I can think about objects abstractly, remember their smell and feel them.

The guidance for keeping six feet apart doesn't apply to people who already live together. Keeping your distance isn't going to work if you're all going to touch the same surfaces at home, anyway. It can be tricky to tell if groups of people close together are family / roommates.
So you're saying the signature itself is irrelevant? It's just an elaborate checkbox? The question then is how do you prove I was the guy who checked the box?
Gradually. It will be used to provide your freedom back. Lockdown is still in place, but if you agree to use the app, you can go outside and chill in a park, maybe even meet up with family members (groups fewer than N). Then you can introduce checkpoints in public places (just like China did btw): wanna go to malls, cinemas or airports? Install the app. But no, you are not forced to do this. You can just sit at home if you'd like until the lockdown is fully lifted. But we can't tell you when it happens, nobody knows. Perhaps after everybody is vaccinated.

Surely, they can also add a smartphone-free version that is a huge pain in the ass to use. It checks the box "you can survive without smartphone", but makes it practically unreasonable.

It will be the same situation as with CCTV and bag searches nowadays. The vast majority of people will accept this as reality and perhaps even support this. London is full of CCTV and mostly people are okay with this because they believe it is for their own safety. Sure, you are not forced into this, feel free to live in mountains off-grid.

The bottom line is you just wait until the lockdown is normalized in people's minds and then reward them with freedoms if they agree to use the app. And 99% will be okay with this.

That's a very good point ... I wouldn't be long on restaurants at the moment either. The difference is that I think we'll return to restaurants once COVID-19 isn't a threat. I think that our "practice" at telecommuting has fundamentally changed business travel (we need it much less than we thought we did) and that the current contraction in air travel is unlikely to completely re-expand. Pleasure travel is different and it remains to be seen how quickly people will "trust" being in public again.
