Forecasting volcanoes is a lot like forecasting earthquakes, it's really difficult to do and often there's very little warning, maybe a couple of days at most, but sometimes comes with no warning at all. The White Island volcano killed several people last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Whakaari_/_White_Island_e... This place was a famous tourist destination.

One of my favorite sites for tracking Volcanic eruptions is: https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/volcano_news.html . It provides real-time updates on volcano advisories.

I would say we're still very susceptible to a supervolcano eruption. There is no stopping that level of force. It can dramatically shift the climate for years, if not decades. And it would be catastrophic for crop production. I suspect we would need to move a large portion of our crop production into greenhouses and growhouses in order to survive that level of event.
From 536 through the end of the Justinian plague in 543... what level of mortality are we talking about?

The article indicates that the plague killed 35%–55% of the population.

How is this a "launch"? And also, this makes it a bit fishy if you ask me.
Ok, sure. But the claim was that Google is absolved from "behaving monopolistically" because they permit ex-Play Store distribution. In practice, it's so onerous that not even a brand as strong as Fortnite can make it work.

Whether you prevent ex-app-store distribution through fiat or through engineering, the result is the same. So I don't think the distinction is important.

I love my Gesture, just not the price. I bought the cheaper option so I could have a "nice chair" at home too without paying the same price, but it really isn't that great. I found better chairs at Office Depot (when I got desperate for a new one until I brought the Gesture home)
I think you cut right to the core of where I get lost in the VPN argument.

Tunneling (even through TOR) isn't sufficient if you have someone well funded, highly skilled, and very motivated to watch you. I would posit that purely technical solutions will never solve human problems. Perfect, unbreakable, encryption can be trivially passed with a set of cleverly placed jumper cables.

The key, in my opinion, is trying to align technology with the laws that (mostly) already successfully protect us from jumper cable wielding adversaries.

From my understanding, The U.S. government interprets "metadata" as having no societal expectation of privacy and therefor they don't need a warrant to collect it. These questionable metadata collection programs seem like they can be effectively thwarted through half measures, like E2E encryption of the metadata (use HTTPS and DNS over HTTPS), obfuscation of the metadata through tunneling (use VPNs), etc.

Some metadata I don't have a good answer for, like location data when my cellphone pings the local towers. I can chose to share my location data w/ the tower so it can route calls to me, and submit to that possibly ending up in a government database, or I can keep my phone from talking to the cell tower being unable to send/receive calls. I don't see a half measure...

Which is why I say "You need to repeatedly show such evidence to users for them to understand what's happening."

But showing the warning at least lets the more sophisticated people know what's up, and alerts them sooner that an extension that they previously trusted in one context now is doing something unexpected post-update.

The nice thing about batteries is that you can add them up to whatever voltage you need. Common electronics voltages are 5V, 9V, 12V, 18V, 24V. You can achieve all of these with different numbers of rechargeable AA or 9V batteries.

However, because of the variety of projects you'll do, to use a wall power source you'll need either a variety of adapters of different voltages, or one of those expensive multi-voltage power adapters, or a proper bench power supply.

So, yes, one of those 5V or 9V wall adapters is perfectly fine to use. You simply buy the female portion of the adapter and connect it to your circuit. However, if you do end up exploring multiple projects early on, using batteries will reduce the amount of new expensive gear you need to buy.
That's so interesting. Thank you for your explanation. I think I can only offer in reply that if Wells' English is excessive British politeness, I wonder if there is even an adjective which could begin to describe Joyce's Irish politeness. :-)

With all due respect to cultural differences, one of these levels of politeness seems to have comparatively and metaphorically wiped the floor with the other.
Something that's always bothered me about articles like this is that they go into great detail to describe the ad, but don't actually show the ad itself.
Pavel has a history of sketchy behavior, some leaked info by insider [1] has uncovered that many things Durov said about the location of the developers and Telegram development is false , and Durov's response to these allegations were extremely unconvincing.

I'm in a camp who thinks that this 'ban' was just a PR stunt coordinated with Roscomdanzor, which was known to be futile from the start and instantly raised the credibility of Telegram and cemented the myth how 'protected' it is.

I really doubt there would be a major backlash if a company like Apple said "Due to <nonsense manufacturing related excuse>, we are able to offer the new iPhone for $XXX dollars less than we expected!"

Unless everyone does targeted donations, it's pointless. It's like adding water to one end of a pool and expecting the water level at only that end to rise. If only a small percentage of donators ear mark their donation to Project A, then the less money will come out of the general fund for Project A and more from the general fund will go to Project B. The money you just donated didn't increase the budget for Project A, instead the organization just increased the budget for project B.

In other words, targeted donations are not a targeted budget increase.

> Like I say, we've had lawyers review our docs. Even the term "fingerprinting" has more nuance to it. Fingerprinting is used as a way to attempt to set a permanent cookie / identify an individual, and their actions. We don't do this.

Ouch, I kind of wish you hadn't said that, because it sounds like you're straying dangerously close into weasel words and deliberately incorrectly interpretations. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but what I've read is very clear.

As before I like your solution, and I think it's absolutely in the spirit of privacy. But the guidance is really clear here, and gives examples of fingerprinting. Nobody said a fingerprint has to be a permanent identifier; as far as I recall, Fathom does use fingerprinting to identify individuals, so that a sequence of page views can be attributed to a single visitor. I understand that those fingerprints include a timestamp, and so are only valid for some time (2 hours, or whatever it is).

Huge amounts of the hydroxychloroquine debacle were dubious-- public statements about efficacy, broken early trials, etc.

But: in March, it was one of very few leads on a treatment. Building some degree of a strategic stockpile and ensuring that manufacturing was increased made sense, even if it was a long shot. It's unfortunate that this had a negative effect upon people, but if there had been efficacy having that stockpile would have been extremely beneficial.

"unsubstantiated feelings" heh, that's a pretty ungenerous/rude way of putting it. Here's a better way: "Can you explain why you like Windscribe? You say you've used other providers, how is Windscribe different?" If you're not clear on something it's always best to ask for clarification before accusing the other party of fabrication or making "unsubstantiated" claims.

So why do I like Windscribe? Good question! I like the ease of use of windscribe clients compared to other VPN clients I've used, the fact that I can add many devices, and the fact that it has endpoints in lots of countries. I had trouble with both the PIA & Mullvad clients & configuration on my desktop and phone eventually. I don't require much, as you say VPN is a commodity product, I just want it to be easy to use & Windscribe is and they seem committed to adding features & fixing bugs. I also have met the team, they're local to me, and they seem trustworthy.

I'm not sure if you read TFA, but here's the context of what I highlighted:

> We started working with a small group of you and learned a lot. With the VPN in your hands, we confirmed some of our initial hypotheses and identified important priorities for the future. For example, over 70% of early Beta-testers say that the VPN helps them feel empowered, safe, and independent while being online.

"we confirmed some of our initial hypotheses and identified important priorities for the future ... Beta-testers say that the VPN helps them feel empowered, safe, and independent"

What type of initial hypotheses might have been confirmed by learning that people "feel empowered" by using a VPN? This is what I don't understand. Of course users motivated enough to try a beta VPN product like using VPNs–I'm not sure what insight that adds. Can you help me connect the dots here?

My feelings about a VPN provider based on personal experience is not beta testing that "proves" a product. Mozilla suggests here that these "feelings" prove "confirm their hypothesis" and put numbers next to the feelings, like 70%. I am questioning the relevancy of these numbers & it strikes me as pseudo-scientific to put these numbers in the intro as some sort of proof that their product has value. Throwing up meaningless numbers like this gives me the impression of smoke and mirrors/bullshit.
Interesting that someone is now creating inverted red triangle "Antifa" shirts after the ad was run. Someone is definitely trying to control the narrative here. (https://twitter.com/kurtssphincter/status/127364804825054003...)
University of Illinois Fall Instruction FAQ
In less than 5 minutes of looking I found several very nice houses for $4-5k/month in multiple nice neighborhoods.

Renting, there are actual luxury condos and apartments ready to rent for $3-4k, again in multiple nice neighborhoods.

>$300k/year isn’t enough for single income families in the Bay Area.

The median household income for SF families is less than $100k, and you're telling me three times that "isn't enough"? That's bullshit.

Responding to your edit: I don't live in SF, but prior to covid I traveled there every week for work, so I am familiar with the city. For a local example, my best friend makes ~$140k/yr, lives in Nob Hill in a gorgeous high rise apartment, and still has thousands to spend every month on fun discretionary activities. Another close friend who makes ~$250k/yr owns a great house in Inner Sunset and they certainly seem like they are able to afford any other desires they want (a boat, all kinds of tech gadgets, trips all the time, etc).
> The Anti-Defamation League said Thursday the triangle "is practically identical to that used by the Nazi regime to classify political prisoners in concentration camps."

Wow.
This is an interesting point context matters.
I got C&D from Daedalic Entertainment. They demanded 1.1k or something along the lines. I was on welfare at the time, so a lawyer was not within my means,so I objected. I'm not sure what happened next because I probably didn't open the letter from the court (getting a manila envelope is fucking scary in addition to the stress of already being broke) but they seemed to have got a verdict against me and suddenly I owed over 2k.
That being said I got a few letters from lawyers and replied with a legal note promising not to do it again (with any clause concerning automatic fines removed) and beat them by simply ignoring their demands afterwards. So it's entirely possible that I simply fucked myself with Daedalic by not opening their first letter and replying with a note.
I haven't pirated in years but have gotten a VPN and will start back up because the fragmentation in the streaming space pisses me off too much especially since there's stuff I can't legally get here.

> Governments have the same ability to leverage things like trackers

It's not clear to me whether the methods trackers use to de-anonymize you are considered "content" or "metadata", and whether the U.S. government would need a warrant to access tracker information.

Do you have thoughts?
Worth noting that as far as I can tell, only the first one is from a group calling itself antifascist, and the triangle is a different orientation.
There's at least one script that's absolutely, a 100% definitive written language, Maya. There are about half a dozen more that qualify for certain reasonable definitions of writing. Beyond that, there are hundreds of systems of proto-writing that rely primarily on the cultural context of the speaker to interpret. These were still used to record events and stories, though.
> Visa blocked users from giving their money to political causes they decided didn't aligned with their view of the world.

Visa and their competitors (Mastercard et al) are companies that should almost certainly be investigated over antitrust concerns and regulated like utillities. The fact they have so much control over things like online payments should be absolutely terrifying.

But yeah, this is why we should definitely avoid giving large companies too much power, and arguably avoid relying on them as much as possible in general.
> It's as user friendly as whatsapp while having completely seamless desktop/mobile integration (something whatsapp and signal have failed to do)

They failed to do this only because they have a real end-to-end encryption for all chats, unlike Telegram.
I mean, it's also the shape of a 'yield' sign in American driving directions. It's a triangle.. The Nazi triangle is borderless. This one has a black border. That makes it as distinguished from that as a yield sign, unless the claim is that the yield symbol also is a sign of secret nazis.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Meanwhile, Biden is telling actual colored people whether or not they have been approved by white people to be black or whatever. Disgusting.

Here is a french wikipedia article discussing the triangle rouge: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_rouge. It notes that it is used against the far right (presumably by antifa-types). Also used by leftist groups like Ras l'front.

Here is the symbol used on the antifa utrecht homepage: https://www.facebook.com/antifautrecht/
This is pretty wild. The WSL2 upgrade really made the terminal way faster than the original WSL, so I'm curious how this runs. Looking forward to trying it!

-- reply @ GP edit --

> Rather than making the association that this leftist group deserves to have political concentration camp tag?

Yeah I believe your hypothesis is crazy and needs more evidence before jumping to such a wild assumption. That's why you word vomit with events that loosely relate to concentration camps and 88 words to support your already loose conspiracy theory.

Ironic that NOW this symbol will be used against socialists since the WSJ and Facebook just made it mainstream and assumed that connection.

No one would have never thought of this connection if FB wouldn't have flagged it and the WSJ didn't immediately report it. Can you honestly say you had this holocaust knowledge? To assume that on everyone and to go further and assume malicious intent is even more dishonest.

People wanted this to be so true, but you are all conspiracy theorists today.
And close to that on servers. It was a time after the demise of Netware but before the ubiquity of the Internet.

A distinction without significant meaning.

A VPN is just a tunnel from one point to another. You'd have to establish why the remote end is more trustworthy than the local end. Being located in a hostile jurisdiction may be somewhat protective, but it would also seem likely that compromising foreign VPN services is within the NSA's wheelhouse.
This is a great in depth article; it covers a lot and has liberal use of commands.
Um. Red triangle is not the most complex logo ever created. It is within a realm of possibility that it happened as, um, quality control is somewhat lax in this administration. I honestly think you are doing your cause disservice by presenting it this way.

Is it a coincidence that this comes the day after the justice department declared that they intend to push legislation that will diminish section 230 protection? They're coming for Facebook either way so maybe they don't feel the need to feign total neutrality any longer.
I had the opposite reaction. The ad is saying "Put your name below" and has a big red arrow pointing "down."

Sure, it's possible it's intentional nazi symbolism. Or, y'know, it's a red arrow pointing down.
I'd step in as black guy coming from what I'd qualify as a priviledged background in Africa. So I don't think I can really understand the issues for black communities in America.
But in my opinion, what is lacking for black communities is usually a global community strategy that free individuals energy by showing some beaten track they can easily use to reach the position people before them reached and build over this to move higher.
Sometimes I have the feeling that black people fight the wrong fight. You can't ask for change without power and in today world it means capital. Black as a "race" is more than 1 billion individuals that's enough to foster anything important for the community as a whole.
I don't know for the US but for France very few black people support black initiatives. They usual answer is that they'll do it when they earn more but we all know that money is never enough... In a world where your real voting power is your dollars this can't work. Asians understood this maybe instinctively. You have to build a working community first (paths for education, culture, jobs, households...) so that any average black person get a "good environment" to nurture its growth so he can become a good, balanced, caring adult.

The strategy so far was to publicly and politically fight (which is good) but after each protest the individuals are back to their own struggles with little to no help or care from other black people (again as a community). If everyone cares only for it's own issues it won't work. Our role is to educate young black people. Tell them how the world is but also show them that they have a functional place in it and that they can start to build it from elementary school!
A glance at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Darkening_Age) indicates that the book was not well received - not by Christians, but by academics.
I think certain influential members of the administration, such as Stephen Miller, are absolutely familiar with them even if Trump himself isn't.

And this isn't even particularly obscure knowledge, it's something that a large number of mass murderers in recent years have made an extensive use of in their messaging: https://twitter.com/originalspin/status/1273653992514412544
I should add that despite what people here are saying, the complexity of the wording is usually driven by legal requirements, not a desire to confuse people.

I emphatically disagree. In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23566627 I take a sample from Apple's privacy policy that is written at a college reading level, and show how a rewrite can say more, in less words, while being readable at a grade 7 level.

This is merely an example illustrating that the vast majority of complexity in legal documents is driven by lawyers trying to look smart and not caring how impenetrable their prose is.
