I think it says something when Russian state ordered blocking of many things on the web, iirc including VPNs—but afaik never got around to blocking Tor. Don't really know about the entry relays, but I think the site itself would be blocked if they decided to do it.

Though this might be due to cops wanting to keep their own local ‘war on drugs’ going on. The statistics won't improve themselves, you know. And I know for certain that cops are aware of Tor and what people do on it.

Edit: wow, fastest downvotes in the West are coming immediately after posting in this thread. Like, less than ten seconds passed.

Upd: somebody posted a reply but deleted it before I started typing my own (what's even happening here?), so here goes. What I'm saying is that I can only wonder why Russia doesn't block Tor and would very much like to know the reason. However, I do think that the FSB might be interested in hijacking Tor traffic, even if just for shits and giggles at first. And buying some boxes in Hetzner probably isn't a problem for them. Don't forget also that FSB directly works with several criminal hacker groups here, and having both their own masqueraded Tor routes and hijacking others' traffic might be vaguely titillating for those people.

As for blocking Tor, I already mentioned that the site would be easily blocked with existing measures, as would relay IPs. For more covert nodes, afaik DPI is being implemented across the providers currently, on RosKomNadzor's orders. So I guess we might yet see Tor blocked on the protocol level (possibly along with Telegram?).

I use the “Books” app that comes with iPhone.
All books are downloaded in .ePub format (.mobi if on Kindle I believe).

epubs enable full text search, highlighting, bookmarking, ToC, automatic annotations, and dynamic scaling of page-numbers respective to font size.

As for turning pages, I really prefer the continuous scroll as opposed to the sideswipe. Maybe try that?

Reading a pdf can be a pain in the ass though, especially if it’s multi-columned. Although I gripe about that even with a monitor. My preference is to print in that case.
IMHO, a better title would be "Probabilistic Theories Of Everything"

I don't think it applies equally to all consumer luxury goods.

Fashion is designed to be "consumable" in the sense that it has a totally made-up expiration date. An expiration date largely dictated by the very industry that created the product.

>It also ignores the fact that many people derive pleasure from 'dressing up', or 'looking their best'.

No it doesn't. That feeling can still exist in a world where clothing lasts two, three or four times as long. The entire premise of the (luxury) fashion industry is built on making a person feel bad if they aren't "in style". Where "in style" is a completely arbitrary standard made up by a select few extraordinarily rich people.

Besides, I'd argue that people use cooler/sexier/more fashion-forward clothing as a crutch for what might be a more serious issue with their self esteem. But I digress.
>I feel I stand out from the crowd when I appear in my don't remember-when-I-bought Hackett blazer and Liberty shirts.

Is that not an effect of marketing though? The only time i've ever felt like i've 'stood out in a crowd' is when I'm walking around in something utterly ridiculous, or filthy work clothes or something.

To be honest, all the high end designer brands blend in to me and I can't be bothered to tell them apart from the lower end brands. When I do recognize one though, my thoughts tend to be something huh, look, someone spent $500 on a shirt/purse/other small singular item of clothing.

Then i'll look at the person next to them wearing less than that over their entire outfit in budget clothes and i'll think, hmm that person doesn't like to waste their money. They have some sense.

Some of the richest, most successful people i've ever met dressed in the same things other regular people do.

I'd rather stand out for my accomplishments and things I do, than some crap made in china I buy at the store at overinflated prices. Because in the end, those designer clothes are pumped out in the same factories alongside Walmart crap.

I'll agree with you about shoes though, a high quality pair of shoes is worth investing in. As long as their actually high quality and not just 'paying for the name' high quality.

Per-splice costs of crimps are higher, but startup cost can be lower. Tools for crimp are generally $1k or so and splicers used to be $10k+ (though now you can find new ones for sub 3k and used for lower than that). A mechanical splice can cost $10 in material while a fusion splice might cost $0.05.
Consumables for a fusion splice is just a metal rod for heat shrink tube that goes over the fiber, then a metal rod next to it, and another heat shrink tube to hold it all together.

I haven't seen someone use a microscope to inspect a splice, but it is common to inspect the connector face because dust can significantly impact the link.

Fusion splicers are amazing pieces of technology. I used used to use one from the late 90s that would identify the core (super small, usually what you see as "fiber" is the cladding around the core), position them to face each other, warn if the cleave wasn't parallel, arc weld it together, detect any bubbles or imperfections in the weld and alert.

Decent video of the splice process on the splicer I used to use (though missing fiber prep): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4eRhF2oaqA

Thanks, I'll give it a go. My favourite historical fiction is Dan Simmons' novel, The Terror [0]. I think it stays pretty close to the known historical record and characters, but adds a fantasy element to glue the story threads together.

I read it as permanent as well. Your interpretation makes more sense but is still not accurate because I hardly think a value judgment that cooking at home more is better, for example, is necessarily valid. And I say this as someone who cooked nearly every meal at home not because I needed to but enjoyed it.
Cost immediately comes to my mind. Given that gigabit service is the gold standard of residential Internet, it is not clear what would be gained for the cost of SFP ports and modules. It is also unlikely that we will see residential service reach 10 gigabit speeds, as most consumer devices would never be able to take advantage of such a thing, and even at 10 gigabit it is probably cheaper to build everything as SoC rather than have separate modules. The only reason I can think of to bother with SFP for residential connections would be GPON, but according to a Verizon tech I asked about this it is far cheaper for them to just use their ONT (which also supports their triple play package), and I was the only person he had met that even had a router with an SFP port.

Until you are looking at speeds above 10 gigabit or need to run particularly long cables (beyond 100m, which would almost never be relevant to most consumers) there is no particular need for SFP, and the added cost and complexity is beyond what most consumers want to deal with. Given that most consumer devices cannot come close to saturating a 10 gigabit link and people mostly use wireless links anyway, there is no real point in putting SFP ports in consumer devices.
that is what i call a well designed process. In europe we will let everyone in even people who can't even read or wipe their ass. We can learn much from Japan!

> There are very strong network effects of educated cities.

According to the research you mentioned[1], the "network effect" you mentioned raises wages moderately for uneducated people and a little for educated people. But still nowhere near enough to account for the astronomical rent prices in a city.

They also show that educated cities grow faster than uneducated cities, but don't make a comparison to smaller towns and suburbs.

I see no reason why cities are objectively better. They are convenient for some segment of the population, and they are very unenjoyable for some segment of the population.

The poor neighbourhood where I lived had a statistically extremely low rate of car ownership. If you owned a car at all, it was a cheap second-hand.

There were expensive cars rolling around though: due to rich people were passing through from expansive suburbs to the financial district, creating pollution and externalities that the poor neighbourhood had insufficient power to deal with.

This is misleading at best. Sure, his dad was a lawyer and he was raised in a well-off househould. But he made something -- Microsoft -- through his own ingenuity, effort, and business acumen. I didn't agree with his business ethics, but to pretend he just fell into MS because of his connected family is fairly ridiculous.

Amazingly, he has since turned his fortune into one of the most successful philanthropy projects probably in human history. Now, do I think governments should do what he does? Yes. Would I prefer higher tax rates for people like him so the people could decide what to do, not him? Yes. But he has actually been working for good, you have to give him that.

Heroku is great but I find it too expensive for hobby projects. I recently converted a small hobby project on a $5/mo VPS to lambda and api gateway and it now costs about $1/mo unless it gets more traffic.

Yes, I can afford to pay a lot more, but I don’t want to and I’m willing to invest more time into something to save money if the process is repeatable.

Lately this has been writing cloud formation that can easily be copied between projects. I wish it was easier though.

I suspect it would be more like hyoer-local traffic or even weather conditions reports. Perhaps a car might broadcast that it just had a collision or airbags went off etc.

I can't imagine autonomous hard braking etc though - perhaps these sorts of messages would just be used by cruise control systems to discretely create more space between vehicles ahead, or put up a "traffic/accident reported ahead" warning for humans to decide what to do.
Given the response a lot of people have to Erlang's syntax (borrowed from Prolog), that has commas, periods, and yes, meaningful casing distinctions (atom vs variable), I'm going to go out on a limb that any benefit from scansion is offset by effort in writing.

Further, I'll go out on a limb and say that the benefit of reading has NOTHING to do with audience reception of the syntax (whether that audience is new to the language, or extremely experienced with it), and instead has everything to do with what seems familiar. (I.e., I think I'm in agreement with you in that it's what people's habits are as to whether it's appreciated or not; I'm just disagreeing that improved readability is a factor in whether people appreciate the extra boilerplate, or the possible implication that it's a net gain)

The best way I've find out if you're "on net" (have fiber going to your bldg or near it) is to befriend someone in the networking and telecom space who hoard KMZs files that map out what's installed (each telecom develops them and shares them internally and sometimes with customers). I know of folks who treat these like gold and carry them from job to job and have most of the US and other nations covered. These are the folks I call when I need an address lit up to see which options and which carrier is out there vs. contacting one who is going to try to work it thru them. Most metro areas if you're on net you can get dark fiber for a flat monthly fee. Construction and permitting will bring an additional cost and things are delayed quite a bit with covid.

I've known a few folks who've got their own dark (or point to point wireless) to colos in downtown areas where they and their friends will rent half a rack or less to drop in a router and buy cheap transit and become their own little ISP.

It's my understanding that photos of a semiconductor die (pre-CMOS) aren't 100% useful, since often the sizes of transistors relative to one another becomes an important detail, which is hard to extrapolate to standard logic gates. It's my understanding that the Motorola 68000 still has some outstanding emulation problems (related to the instruction cache), due to using HMOS logic. NMOS chips like the 8080 are also affected by this.
As a former fashion writer, the "fashion industry," reduces to a spectacle for selling perfume and cosmetics. Fashion itself is an expression of beliefs, power, and alignment that people buy clothes to participate in.

In this sense, fashion is to clothing what live music is to alcohol, or what journalism is to advertising. There is an underlying high-margin business that you use a spectacle to attract people into to sell them stuff. The talent for the spectacle exists in a local equilibrium that is largely oblivious to the economics that make it viable. Journalists are a great example of people who thought they were the money maker and remain in denial about the economics of their role of bringing readers to advertisers.

Fashion designers (like Jacobs in the article) appear to have the same conceit, where their role as the spectacle that draws in punters who buy super high margin smelly water, face paint, and snake oil lotions has been displaced. Covid has just been the coup de gras, where the fashion business has been steadily being polarized and dis-intermediated for at least a decade. A business that promised and re-sold proximity to fame was really taken out much earlier by Instagram and its influencer economy, where now everyone is famous for Warhol's 15 minutes, and the returns on investment in fame schemes are now much more diffuse.

The dynamic described in the article about luxury clothing in the end resembles the book and publishing business, where you are in effect consigning product to retailers, who make massive orders for their big box shops, then destroy you with returns. It's like how movies spent almost 100 years in in the popcorn and concessions business, and they've found totally new economics in the streaming game. Fixing fashion is the same class of problem as fixing journalism, publishing, music, movies, and arts in general, where the economics of getting people together to sell them complimentary high margin goods in the moment and place was decimated by social media, and now finished off by covid.
These markets aren't dead, but they are now polarized, where the super high end is fine, and the absolute bottom will persist, but the lucrative middle is hollowed out. These fashion design brands made most of their money on middle market goods backed by over leveraged private equity investments and sunk costs in conglomerates, and that's why they're getting killed by this.

Fashion is the business of symbols and signifiers and there is infinite human demand for these (just as there is for stories, conflict/news, spectacle, etc), so future businesses using totally different modalities will pick up the slack to meet it, but reading fashion talent hand wringing about their market is like listening to journalists talk about the economics of publishing, hockey players discussing team ownership, or perhaps even us hackers talking about venture capital. What we think is meaningful and decisive, it's not meaningful and decisive.
