I built a tiny, kinda crappy multiplayer web game a few years ago (https://manygolf.club/), and while it's mostly dead now, it was relatively popular with 5-15 active players at any time for a few months (I know, small potatoes, but as someone who had never made a game played by _anyone_ outside of friends and family before, it was cool to see).

I noticed one of my biggest traffic referrers appeared to be from some kind of school proxy, and the most common Google suggestion for "manygolf" was "manygolf unblocked", so I imagine it is a lot of bored kids with locked-down devices. I also still get an occasional email every now and then from a "game portal" site that wants to license my game in some way, so I guess that stuff is still a market unto itself.

For the short term they are definitely cheaper, the airlines are desperate to get people back in the habit of flying. My son is going to a camp halfway across the country later this summer, and their original plan was to take a train. After checking the plane fares a couple of weeks ago they changed their mind and are going to fly.

I live in Turkey. I can confirm Turkey allows diggings if you can show proof you are capable of doing it. Leading such missions are mostly left to the academy for this reason. There is also a policy which I had the chance to witness it being forced which is if you encounter a historic finding when you farm your land or build a building, you are enforced to give up so that the land can be investigated. Most of the time, such land is never given back to the owner. They are compensated in some other form, depending on the type of ownership claim.

Because your statement is misleading. Some countries are are using it more frequently than the US, but Germany and the UK prescribe it much less. Italy had the highest prescription rates, but are no longer using it. While France prescribed it more often than the US but are also stopping.

Lastly, the argument of "if countries outside the US are prescribing it, it must work" is just nonsensical. Doctors prescribing a drug is not evidence a drug works.

Pittsburgh driving taxes one's navigation skills on a good day, to put it mildly.

Although I'm no trump supporter, it would be incorrect to assume there is no democratic push to get out the vote. Vote Save America ( https://votesaveamerica.com/ ) is run by Crooked Media, who are most well known for having Obama officials running podcasts like Pod Save America and Pod Save The World (as well as noted black activist Deray hosting Pod Save The People). This is clearly a group that wants to get Trump out and they are actively organizing to encourage calling, texting, donating to democratic campaigns in swing states, and pushing for mail-in voting.

(Disclaimer: I am pro mail-in voting and lean leftist in my political beliefs. I am merely disagreeing that there are no pushes to encourage people to vote that are also anti-trump.)
This is one of the best arguments I can think of against having large corporations with "corporate person hood". It does enable large capital accumulation over time, but that capital accumulation eventually becomes so de-personalized in how it gets used that it becomes detrimental to society. A single private owner tends to care and have more purpose, more personal stake in real long-term growth, and can take the real risk of investment. Corporations, as we see more and more, get huge amounts of capital and then start gaming the system for short term executive bonuses.

1/15th of a yearly total that is far, far too large. A sustainable value is 3 tons of CO2 per year (https://www.ecocivilization.info/three-tons-carbon-dioxide-p...). Now that transatlantic flight is 1/5 a person's yearly total which also has to include the emissions for their heating, water, food, and transport which is just not feasible in western countries today.

This sounds like yet another anti-China thread that comes the same day as the new security law for Hong Kong (I'm sure it's just a coincidence).

I wonder: does China comment on repressive laws approved in other countries? Isn't Hong Kong a part of China? Why wouldn't they approve any laws they see fit? Why are the people that are concerned about this never concerned about repressive laws approved in US-friendly countries like Turkey or Saudi Arabia or the Emirates?
I thought the exact same thing about the web as being a library. It's nice hearing someone else say it, it's validating.

However, I feel like it's moved more in the direction of being like broadcast television: lots of content that's designed to be consumed once and then forgotten. Maybe the television analogy oversimplifies the matter. Still, I think the more that content creators view their content as going into a permanent library, the better the quality.
Even ignoring the "expected" inflation of costs. IMO the bottom line with California HSR is it would require far more tunneling than is feasible to construct. They studied it extensively, and LA-SF high speed rail just didn't make sense.
> an island, literally connected, to our greatest current world foe (sorry Russia), is geopolitically meaningless?

Strategically speaking, yes. Nobody is landing troops or planes on Hong Kong. And China's ability to project military power onto it is unconstrained, today, by non-diplomatic factors.

Between leaving the population in place in hopes it makes Beijing's life more difficult, and offering them relief, the advantage--to the people and outsiders--seems heavily one sided.

Most Americans would be pissed if anyone grabbed any sliver of American territory. That doesn't make every inch of American territory high ground.

> A short walk in a busy hospital

You demonstrate utter failure to understand the idea. A controlled, known, small viral load is the idea. Controlled: not from a random walk through a hospital, but administered under controlled conditions. Known: a measured quantity, not an unknown quantity from a random walk through a hospital, of a known viral strain. Small: maybe 1/50th the kind of load you would get if you were exposed in a busy hospital and someone sneezed on you.

You so spectacularly missed all these points that it's clearly not worth continuing this conversation further.

What are those two ops-focused folks doing with the other 95% of their time? Are we talking about two developers who are willing to spend 5-10% time on non-promotable server chores--while yet being on the hook in the event of a hardware disaster--or people who consider operations their vocation and aren't interested in software development?

I agree that it's possible to do that kind of work on a 5-10% basis, but it requires just the right set of circumstances for sustainability. Like, maybe it is your own startup or family business, or one is not particular good at sysop'ing and wants to learn more.
DT doesn't "rely on twitter for his political survival", any platform he goes to all his supporters would happily follow while gleefully trashing twitter on their way out the door.

> Nor does he have any real regulatory authority that could be employed that wouldn't also bite him back

I'm not convinced of that. Trump has repeatedly shown he is willing to exercise executive authority to the fullest extent possible and the courts have repeatedly affirmed his ability to do so. I'm not sure what kind of "bite back" you expect, but that kind of thing has never been an obstacle for Trump. At the end of the day I think you're right that he's bullying them, but I think it's wrong to believe that he won't actually go after them if they do not comply with his demands or at the very least retract the fact-check and praise him

About 6 months ago I was telling my friend that US is moving towards war with Iran in 2 years and China in ten. Clearly, for whatever reason, that schedule has been accelerated.

The comparisons to cold war seem apt and given that US president was recently asked about what he talked about with Putin ( and the response, among others, was borders ). That sent a chill down my spine. How was this question not followed up is beyond me.

We have been moving towards a confrontation for a while now and this move will not make it less likely. I am not trying to defend China's moves, but realistically, what are the odds China will surrender to international pressure campaign?
Yeah, the saving grace for them is definitely their incestuous relationship with the US Government. But while that can save them from total collapse, it can't prop up their civil aviation activities on its own.

> That is not how TLS works. A server can trust a client based on the certificate the client presents. A client can't distrust a server based on the certificate the client presents.

You're correct; I posted inaccurate information.

> validating a cert does not involve the private key in any way.

What I should have said was that the server would validate the client cert by checking whether the certificate is valid according to the authority that signed it (which could be the server serving as a CA itself or a third party CA).

As for the original question, I guess it's possible for a phishing website to not bother validating the client certificate presented at all and allow the TLS negotiation to succeed.

If there was something that could instruct a browser to only send a given client certificate if it only receives a certain server certificate, then it would be much harder for a phishing website to work, because the browser would not send the client certificate to the wrong server.
I used to think this was the answer.

I now think the problem with this is a lack of standards. It is documented that textbook manufacturers publish different history and science texts based on the region of the country regarding the civil war or evolution.

Not to be a nihilist, but what makes you think underfunded schools that struggle to teach basic reading will teach media literacy and criticism with any success? and will be supported by publishers that feel the same way?

I also think critical thinking is VERY hard. Harder than people imagine. It is hard to teach, hard to deploy, hard to practice. I'm not sure even 20% of the population could muster the brain power required to sift through today's onslaught of zone-flooding garbage.
We have tried teaching people not to believe everything they read on the internet already. We need solutions that actually work.

It's wishful thinking at best to believe that Twitter replies can effectively refute arguments. They don't establish public dialog unless the OP retweets the responses. You can't call it a dialogue if, effectively, there's only one person talking. Even simple refutations fail on Twitter.

"We can't fact check one person because it'd be hard to do the same for a large number of people" is classic perfect-as-enemy-of-good. We get huge bang-for-buck by handling some obvious outliers and known bad actors, and that's worth doing.

>But I don't need Twitter to tell me what to think.

I think what this discussion is revealing is that a lot of people, and a lot of people that work it tech it seems, actually do want someone to tell them what to think. Which may be part of the baseline or mean human condition. Thinking and deciding for yourself is hard, and when other people think and decide for themselves in a different way than you it seems to generate an immune response and a reaction that calls for intervention from above.

The controversy is that you don't get to choose. It is extremely hard to avoid giving your data to Google if you don't want to make that trade. You can't use an Android phone, you can't use ubiquitous services like Google Search, Youtube, GMail, or Google Maps, you can't use any website without being sure to block Google Analytics, Adsense, reCaptcha, and whatever else they own.

It's possible, but it's very hard, and requires constant vigilance. It is not a free choice in any meaningful sense.

First of all, the law has been used in China to persecute political dissident. (Political dissident in that case is anyone who expose any problems in the country or being vocal about particular problem in the society or government)

Second, CCP is planning to bypass Hong Kong Legislature to implement this law as an amendment to the Basic Law (Like an HK constitution). This is completely decided by the CCP government and Hong Kongers has no say over it.

Third, Hong Kong has no universal suffrage for its chief executives and Legislative Counsel. In this case, there is no checks and balances. With some draconian law (see National Security law and the previous public emergency ordinance) and lack of checks and balances, Hong Kongers are deeply concern about their freedom in all senses.

Lastly, police brutality and the mass persecution on pan-democratic individuals also spooked Hong Konger's confidence on the city itself and its autonomy. The HK HangSeng Index dropped 5% on the first day. Then massive influx of Chinese money came into the market the next day to prop the market up.
Almost nobody who has a say has any incentive to think long term. For a CEO the next few years are important, shareholders can jump ship anytime. It’s a total alienation of somebody’s actions from the long term consequences.
It's wreak.

And you're probably right. Hong Kong's status made it home to a lot of the financial engineering of commerce between China and the west. With it losing its status, I think a lot of the financial machinery in HK is about to come undone. Singapore will likely benefit, to some degree, from this move. The world and China may need to find new markets and suppliers in the short term.

100% of the will of the people can only make up for a fraction of the political consensus in Hong Kong, with corporations making up the rest. This isn't unique to Hong Kong, The City of London within London has a similar form of representation.

The corporations derive their power and hegemony from mainland China.
