Hence the 'keeping it inside' part. I would not plan outside a vine or something that may interfere with my other plants, until I know what it is.

Still, I fail to see the harm of growing the seed inside to identify the plant. People here have reported receiving cucumbers and strawberries. No one has reported receiving vines or anything else.

I am very surprised by the level of fear and paranoia regarding everything and especially China: we are looking at horse gift in the mouth, then saying it is a bioterrorism plot. Unbelievable!! When I was a kid, that would have been the best mail-order present ever!

Also, regarding kudzu and the like, I fail to see the harm. The environment changes. We may not like that, but that's how life is. Instead of trying to undo changes, maybe we should adapt to them.

Kudzu seems good for livestock, rich in protein and isoflavones. Trying to burn it seems to be due to a distinct lack of imagination and profit motive. It's a free input!!! Find new ways to chop it down to feed it to livestock. Make it into a food supplement.

Anything looks better than just destruction and nostalgia for the time it wasn't here. It's here now. Adapt!
I think you could build on this action https://github.com/actions/github-script/

That's a big part of the issue. Just running a desktop browser like Firefox on these ARM devices is an exercise in pain. While they technically run, they would be described as sluggish on a good day. Then trying to visit a 'heavy' desktop-oriented website will just bring everything to a grinding halt.
PTrace comes with some pretty big restrictions. For one, no process can be ptraced by two processes at the same time.

User notify aims to be a safer way to do this that doesn’t require the overhead and complexity of ptrace.

He's not wrong you really need to go to China to see the truth. Your logic is as simplistic as a someone saying America is full of overweight white supremacists or rich people with Hollywood good looks. Both stereotypes gloss over a reality that is far more complex.

As someone who's lived and breathed aspects of both countries the story of china is the same. A complex story with many facets very good and very bad as well. I will say that the media's portrayal of China is heavily biased towards the bad side of china and has resulted in your bigoted and niave one sided outlook. This is not an insult, it is a statement to help you be more self aware. Like telling a white supremacists about the morality of equality among races I don't know if you'd be able to reexamine your view point, or just follow your biased outlook all the way to the bloody end.

Put it on your bucket list. Go to Shanghai or Shenzhen. China's progress is breakneck, there has never been a phenomenon like it in the history of civilization and I am not saying this haphhazardly. I promise you, that if you go, you will be blown away.

Exactly. It’s amazing how good customer service can be when the profit margins are high enough. It’s really only dumb companies and those with too much power that tend to combine high margins with bad customer service.

I think backblaze does it well. You can set limits for each type of API transaction and you receive email and sms notification when you get close to the cutoff limit (70% and 90% IIRC). You have a page with all the costs and how close you're to the limit if any. 2FA was also straightforward to setup. If your account is compromised the limits can still be lifted but there is limited interest in compromising a backblaze account in the first place and the 2FA makes it unlikely.

I'm the sysadmin for a small nonprofit so my organization qualify for the $3500 yearly azure credits but the inability to set spending limits makes me not use azure. If I make a mistake or worse an admin account is compromised the azure bill is potentially infinite.

With azure I think you can mitigate the issue somewhat by having a superAdmin account without limits and set quotas for everything else but I still don't feel at ease with that.

My organization is a music festival so the infrastructure really has to work and not stop one day per year. I can keep an eye on everything during the festival and monitor spending. If things stop not during the festival people are a bit annoyed until I can look into the issue but nothing bad happens.

In a perfect world I'd like to have a way to setup a limit where you need to go through support to increase it. I'd really pay for that. I think it's really too easy to receive a nasty surprise bill.

This attack was only possible on databases with unsecured or weakly secured read-write access.
Are algebraic data types supported? Can you do compiler checked exhaustive pattern matching on a sum type?
Meh. Maybe it’ll get devs to pay attention to database security.
I perceive microdosing as a very fast dying fad, but it's only an opinion of course.

About the cost, the way I understand it, the definitive factor is scalability. It's MUCH more scalable than the production of other drugs. If this was not the case, it probably would be VERY expensive, because of the very high barriers to entry and very low and distributed demand.

>[1] It’s important to distinguish that the donations went to the university, not a corrupt official at the university. This is actually productive.

It's important to distinguish that these are not donations, they are payments in exchange for admission into the school. But good thing that they can be considered donations, so that it's gives the "donor" a tax benefit, another subversion of the rules available for those with money.

I think all donations should be anonymous, and there should be no tax benefit for donating. That's the only way to prevent quid pro quo and the inevitable plausible deniability defense. I don't see why anyone would have a problem with anonymous donations, unless they are intending to get something in return.
I think the main problem is that there isn’t an easy way to set a hard monthly limit on these services.

I use a bunch of “freemium” services like S3 and Google Maps API and I’ve never paid a penny. I use them because they don’t cost a penny for my very limited usage, but I’m not looking forward to the day I mistakenly and disastrously exceed their free tier.
It's fine to expose MySQL to the internet, but it better before set up securely.. and you better be using the database-level user security.
The store/business still knows ahead of time the exact tax rate for what you are buying at the location you are buying it. So that really is no excuse for not disclosing that info pre-purchase.

This is concerning for this project especially because it's being pitched to journalists. It's easy to maintain a backdoored version and an apparently secure version. Only ship backdoored binaries, and only distribute apparently secure source. By not allowing third-party builds, you can effectively lock everybody into using the backdoored version while maintaining a pretense of openness and security. This is a critical example of why the distinction between free vs open exists.

Hey now. The characterization at the end is uncalled for.

To your point, using gas causes externalities. We know how to address externalities broadly. But the political will is lacking due to anti science proponents.
All squash is native to Mesoamerica and Andes.
Neither term is really correct.
I believe the indigenous people of Mesoamerica called it chayotl.
The Spanish, who were the first Europeans to come across squash call it calabaza - which is possibly derived from the persian word "kharbuz."
But I really don't know why Americans use the Italian word for squash instead.

They don't. The app may ask for it, and there may be some benefit to the user if they provide it, but it's not like the headphones magically acquire any of the data the author is complaining about.

If people want to give their personal information out, that's up to them. I personally limit what information I share, and I get annoyed when devices or apps try to sneakily get more information than I'm willing to intentionally provide, but this article is silly.

The younger generation has grown up without a sense of personal privacy, and they're largely ok with it. They will happily give away personal details in exchange for a "free" app or product, and they bend over backwards to expose their entire lives via images and videos on social media. There's always mock outrage when someone "discovers" that the reason the Internet is free is because someone is selling personal data to drive advertising, but everyone knows that. Most people just don't care.

This is such ridiculous alarmism. This is one of the worst case predictions and is unlikely to occur.

Most likely you'll see gradual migrations over the next 100 or so years away from coastal areas, probably not too much larger than typical migrant and infrastructure turnover.

Please stop relying on journalism to make your decisions regarding climate change. It's pure dogma by completely ascientific liberal arts majors.

If you read the IPCC reports yourself (they're huge but you can read the introductory summaries) they're much less certain about the future. Meanwhile alarmism has a real cost now, if you foolishly allow it to influence policy.

And on the subject of habitability, why is it that media rarely, if ever, runs stories regarding the increase in arable land that comes with thawing permafrost? How much habitable land will be gained from climate change?

And just to emphasize the short sightedness of "banning" fossil fuels as you originally proposed, good luck getting food and medical equipment (and pretty much anything else) to the hundreds of millions of people living in cities without diesel for trucks.
Human, animal, and machine learning processes to have common points (vide https://p.migdal.pl/2019/07/15/human-machine-learning-motiva...), even if the low-level mechanics is different (at least for biological brains vs GPU operations). We were already puzzled by some similarities (see: "Does AI have a dirty mind, too?" https://medium.com/@marekkcichy/does-ai-have-a-dirty-mind-to...).

> Unfalsifiable non-insights

By all means, it is falsifiable. We can present some training materials and alter the sleep pattern for a fraction of subjects. If generalization is not more affected than the ability to work with the memorized material, we falsified that.

> We don't even know how the brain does almost anything and you think you can use trendy AI topics to explain something as complex and mysterious as dreams?

With this approach, we can safely quit all science. All in all, it is hubris that a mammal brain can understand the universe.

Tim Ferriss is an unapologetic self-promoter who often comes across as greasy and his major product is the Tim Ferriss id, but he's also right so much of the time.

I highly recommend reading beyond the slick SEO-optimizing presentation; there is a lot of good, actionable stuff in there.
Legislation is just so far behind. User data is useful, but there should be requirements before you can just accumulate it. Cars are useful too but require a licence and insurance to drive.

Modern geeks seem to only care about government control.

But I have read about the old time hackers, who yearned freedom and experimentation. It seemed to have been widespread: I have seen movies from the 1980s, and noticed the same thing: people seem less fearful, more open and ready to experiment.

It may sound silly to you, but I was awestruck by "Bill and Ted excellent adventure"!

Even with all the modern technology we have, I wish I had been born 20 or 30 years earlier, when freedom was still a thing and innocent fun was deemed innocent by default.
It sounds like you are saying it makes a difference whether a carbon tax is billed separately to you the consumer. I'm doubtful.

My impression is an economist would tell you that it theoretically doesn't matter that much if you tax the consumer or the producer. It's like US payroll taxes - does it make a difference how the tax is split between employer and employee? The real question is who is forced to absorb the cost, and theoretically that isn't determined by who pays from an accounting perspective - it's a red herring.

Often people insist without evidence that someone who will pay a tax can or cannot pass it through, whichever is convenient to argue against it, when the real answer is probably "it's complicated" and the entity taxed is not in control.

I think this is the Wikipedia page describing the phenomenon I'm fumbling at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_incidence

"The theory of tax incidence has a number of practical results. For example, United States Social Security payroll taxes are paid half by the employee and half by the employer. However, some economists think that the worker bears almost the entire burden of the tax because the employer passes the tax on in the form of lower wages. The tax incidence is thus said to fall on the employee.[2] However, it could equally well be argued that in some cases the incidence of the tax falls on the employer. This is because both the price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply effect upon whom the incidence of the tax falls"

I'm thinking this also is related to the recent political arguments over who pays US tariffs.

There's not much money to be made in fossil fuel phase out either... some, but overall it is a cost. Halting deforestation and reforesting aggressively would be a lot cheaper at the macroeconomic level.
I would say the main story here is that AWS overcharges on traffic to such a ridiculous degree. My SaaS regularly consumes 50+ TB in traffic, but I pay €150 in monthly fees for that.

For someone coming from my perspective, that would be a huge and unpleasant surprise to be billed $2600 for a service that I know costs $180 elsewhere.

Edit: especially so because people keep repeating the mantra that one should use the cloud to save money by not paying for what you don't use. Obviously, my 3 Xeon servers with 64 GB RAM each are way overpowered for sending out some GB of static files, but I wanted to have a bit of redundancy. But with my setup, there should be plenty of obvious inefficiencies for "the cloud" to eliminate

=> It feels like cloud should be cheaper than my dedicated servers. But it's not, and that is the unpleasant surprise.

Very curious viewpoint. I would imagine the angle you're going for is "you can't be a communist software engineer working for FAANG" or something? "If you really believe that, why don't you give away all your things?" I hope that's not what you mean as that'd be very bad faith.

I don't necessarily agree, as what is needed most right now is inertia and having this turn into a dumping ground, serves quite a bit of value...for now anyways. It's much easier to curate when everything is in a single location.

What I think they can do a much better job of is classifying the submissions. If you take a look at the files changed heat map/tree below:

the most active categories are "multimedia" (48 versions) and "short-and-sweet" (46 versions), where many in multimedia should be in short-and-sweet. The project can probably benefit from sub folders.
