What if somebody else with the same surname wants quirk.cc? All that you really have going for you is that you were there first. What if the other Quirk is somebody more prominent? What if they have a bigger family to give email addresses to, or a cooler idea for the site? It's really not faaaaaaaiiiiir that you are hogging that domain name.

Maybe you should be required to sell it to them at a reasonable price, no more than 100 quid. Or provide documentation proving you have a better use for the domain than they do.

Or maybe that's all a lot more complicated, ripe for abuse and favoritism, and centralized than the current system where the owner sets the price and you are free to either buy it, or pick from the infinite space of other options and leave them still holding it paying yearly fees on something they get zero value from. Especially in today's world where every browser's address bar is really a search bar by default, most email clients display the person's "real name" with more prominence than their email address, and a nice domain name is just a cute little bonus.
This may run afoul of your "no privacy invading methods", but are you able to implement email verification before new users can post? Then once they get bored of trying to attack the site you can go and purge all accounts created in the last n days that haven't been verified yet.

I run a gaming community with several thousand members and we regularly have to fend off attacks on both the community (spam bots in Discord) and the game servers themselves (targeted DDOS attacks usually in the 200-300Gbps range.)

From my experience, they tend to get bored and move on rather quickly so often times whatever we have to implement is more temporary in nature and doesn't really affect the existing community much if at all.
The first thing I look for in a game engine is what language it's written in. The second thing I look for is what language(s) it lets the user write games in.

This is true, especially when it comes to array languages. When I was learning kdb+/q, I realized that the language was small enough that I didn't need autocomplete. Also, the language is so powerful that I didn't really even type that much. I would have been perfectly happy writing out the code on a paper napkin it was so terse.

The appearance of a higher economic class leads to lopsided political power. It's the lopsided political power that then leads to the displacement of the lower economic class from any desirable area.
No. FDIC is per depositor, per bank, per ownership category.

So if you have $300k in Bank A, and $180k in Bank B, and then suddenly both Bank A and Bank B fail, the US Federal Government promises you'll get $250k from Bank A and $180k from Bank B, and pretty quickly - but the remaining $50k from Bank A depends on what happens when they try to wind up Bank A, if it's a complete wreck you may see nothing or almost nothing back or it may take years to get 10¢ on the dollar for the remaining amount.

In some cases you may be able to create multiple ownership categories that help you, and I guess if you really had $16M you might do stuff like set up a multi-beneficiary trust fund that can have $1M in it with four beneficiaries for an additional $250k per person FDIC insured.
What makes you think you can't get erased from internet if you host your own? Unless you roll your own IPS you are always susceptible to some outside force. Your IPS can terminate your contract, your domain registar can do the same (of course you don't _need_ a domain you can just use an IP address) etc. Yes you cou can make it less but it's never out of question.
This is a completely worthless, ahistorical comment.

> French Revolution,

There is no definition of leftism that would include the American independence movement. The conception of leftism didn't even exist!. My head is about ready to explode.

> Mexican Revolution

See French revolution.

>And the all time greatest threat to the world has been a right wing populist revolution; the rise of Nazi Germany.

Pick up a book on the Weimar Republic some day, you might learn something!

> Right wing revolutions tend to curtail rights like the Iranian Revolution

'Tend to'

I have been repeatedly informed that the Iranian revolution was a liberation from the Western Imperialists & therefore left-wing (yes, seriously).

Strangely omitted are the Russian, Chinese, & Cuban revolutions. I wonder why?

Frankly, I'm shocked the mods let this topic survive on the front-page for this long. It's a honeypot for every kind of crank to show up and start arguing (myself included)

It really comes down to installers with proprietary firmware blobs that you need to install on laptops.

Debian's download page makes it hard to find the images with the non-free bits. They're there, though, if you dig just a bit.

Then, on laptops that have both Intel and Nvidia graphics hardware, for some reason the installers insist on loading both the i915 and nouveau kernel modules, which then fight over the console. (I asked over at the nouveau IRC, and they said a one-liner patch would fix that, still after all these years.) So, you add "nouveau.modeset=0" to the boot line on those laptops.

Finally, there is the confusion over the name "unstable", which is what people using Debian run, at least for the parts that need to be up to date, like browsers, media players (mpv), and firmware.

But the experience once you have got set up is better than on Ubuntu.
Yea, I don't think it's really accurate even if it's sometimes the unintentional result. It's frustrating because I really appreciate the rest of the perspective they're offering.

That happened/is happening at my job. There's been a push to implement features that utilise AI/ML.

Not because it would be a good use case (although there are some for our product), or because it would be of any practical benefit, but because it makes for good marketing copy. Never mind the fact that nobody on the team has any experience with machine learning (I actually failed the paper at university).
I've used a posture corrector. It's really very effective and cheap. Love it since it makes me conscious every time I start slouching.
> They would ignore them in their rhetoric, but augment them in practice. Whereas the left augments them in their rhetoric, but seeks to minimize them in practice.

I'm going out on a limb I suppose, but that isn't how political parties work. Outing myself as an engineer, if I wanted to increase/minimise something in practice I would start with a survey of the academic literature on times where the thing changed radically. Then I would attempt to replicate those conditions. Then I would assess the outcomes using pre-defined measures of success.

No political party works that way. Both wings of policies work near-exclusively with sounds-good-to-people-who-vote strategies. In particular, speaking cheerfully from the right, I've never seen a leftist "minimise [divides] in practice" strategy that looks like it started from a historic survey of what worked. I expect there are similar complaints about the right. I've never seen a political solution assessed for effectiveness, and most of them aren't effective.
> How was a city allowed to develop with almost no green space?

Siena, like other Tuscan hill towns, was first settled in the time of the Etruscans (c. 900–400 BC)

Siena was built on a hill surrounded by some of the greenest valleys in Tuscany, the most notable one being the Chianti valley, home of the popular wine.

The piece you're missing is that if the app store is a mall then an iPhone is your house. So you have all of these people who live in an Apple house, which they may do for any number of reasons that have nothing to do with the mall.

Then the Apple mall is taking 30% and someone says they want to set up their own mall somewhere else. It's a completely separate "mall" -- apps hosted on different servers with different payment processing etc. But then Apple says not only that nobody who shops in their mall can go shop in any other mall too, but also that nobody who lives in a house they built can either. How is that not anti-competitive?

If you read leftist literature, there are many attempts to do exactly that. It's just that in the US the left has essentially no power, it's shared between a centrist Democratic party and a right Republican party.

That being said, there are a lot of ineffective tactics in the left, because there is a lot of infighting (see the XKCD article on standards, as another commenter suggested), and very loose organization.
The assertion that Houston’s layout is the result of Cold War nuke risk mitigation is a new one on me. The beltway opened in 1988.

I grew up here and I’ve read many articles trying to explain why Houston is the way that it is. The truth is incredibly human and boring and wouldn’t sell display ads. Thus, the logical arguments that follow articles like this are complete nonsense.

If you want to know why Houston is the way that it is, fly down here and I’ll drive you around and show you. You’ll be completely underwhelmed, but the tacos will more than make up for the trip.

>So what aspects of this are truly anticompetitive?

None of what you said is anti-competitive since you left out the anti-competitive part of the story.

The only mall that is allowed is that one single mall. You are not allowed to start your own mall and since there are no other malls you cannot move to another one. You are basically stuck putting your store in that mall or not having a store at all.

That (does estrogen/testosterone intake correlate w/ outcome) is a very interesting question, and I'd be very surprised if anybody studied that.

The transgender community is not usually considered in medical studies. (It's hard to get reliable data just on long-term effects of the various immediately trans-related treatments). And even if it were, it's so disparate socio-economically from the rest of the population that it's very hard to control for that factor. Add to that the fact that being transgender is a fairly rare condition - 1:11,000 is the usual assumption, 3:1000 is the most generous one I've seen - these particular studies aren't that common.

A proxy for that question is "how do subjects pre/peri/post menopause react to this, with and without hormone therapy (a.k.a contraceptives)". There's mild evidence of hormonal status and COVID response being correlated: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.30.20164921v...
I get 66ms on Firefox, with the following breakdown:

navigationStart: 0

domInteractive: 63
domContentLoadedEventStart: 64
domContentLoadedEventEnd: 65
domComplete: 66

So it looks like the bulk of the time is actually whatever happens between fetchStart and domainLookupStart, and between responseEnd and unloadEventStart. The actual time from domLoading to domComplete is only 17ms, which is about 1 frame on a 60hz monitor.

Note: refreshing the page with the javascript console open takes ~200ms on my machine, and certain extensions can make it even slower than that.

> One of the central assumptions of STAMP is that it is possible to construct an accurate enough control model of the system at the design stage to identify all of the hazards. [emphasis added]

I want to pick on this a bit. STAMP, or at least STPA which is the related method you'd use in the design stage, doesn't try to identify all hazards (STAMP has the benefit of being conducted with hindsight, so it is likely to identify more hazards). When used during design, you run multiple STPA analyses and may eventually identify all hazards, but there is no guarantee. Additionally, while you often have a singular STAMP instance (because it follows from an accident), STPA is run multiple times. There is no singular STPA analysis, but a collection of analyses.

Each analysis is performed on a model of the system which is, necessarily, a simplification. Some models will have details that others lack. This provides the team a better opportunity to focus on the hazards involved in that area. You will only achieve 100% hazard identification if the system is small, or you dedicate a probably unreasonable time to the analyses.
Yes, I have engaged Qultists several times via Twitter. Every single time I got defletion, phrases like "Do your own research", "Not.My.Job." in response to requests for sources of information. I did my own research and decided Qanon beliefs are essentially 99.5% false. The "elite pedovore" stuff is falsifiable with only a few clicks and some simple geometry and arithmetic.

As far as Trump being a traitor: I cite the House Impeachment Inquiry - Hill, Vindman and Sonderland all testified under oath to Trump doing things that are a direct betrayal of the USA. The Mueller report and the Senate Intelligence community reports all indicate that the Trump campaign, and Trump himself, not only knew about and welcomed Russian election interference, but actually coordinated with the Russians about it. If you need a sword statement from Donald J. Trump that he did it, I can't provide that, but between House Inquiry, Mueller report and SSCI reports, everyone that's not a judge or a jury member knows Trump did some treason. So read all that and change your mind.

I personally listened to the House Impeachment Inquiry back in February, and read parts of the Mueller report and the Senate reports. I'm insulted that you think I'm just mindlessly repeating some anonymous source's vague assertions. How dare you?!?

Also, please cite someone merely supporting Trump and getting fired. Sources I can look up and examine myself or it didn't happen.
Much of that has been largely replaced with electronic media, and what remains is a “once in a while” occasion that people are willing to travel to. These days, much of the time, city-dwellers are the ones who have to travel to suburban venues.

I hope someone knowledgeable is still reading comments this late:

I was thinking about this last night. How does this fit into GR? I understand how it fits into SR, but in GR space is just curved. Unlike velocity time dilation, under Einstein space isn't moving. In GR it's the curve that's "equal" to gamma, the dilation factor in SR.

This is evident where escape velocity (root((2GM)/r)) replaces the (v^2) term in the Lorentz factor to give gravitational time dilation in the Schwarzschild solution (t' = t(root(1-(2GM)/(rc^2))).

Mind you, I've always thought everything is moving at c through spacetime, but I understood that from SR. I just don't see how it fits with GR.
I’m not sure I buy that, too, but if it is true that it is common and that gamers buy multiple consoles and we think that’s an acceptable state of affairs, and also true that users don’t buy multiple smartphones (that, I wholeheartedly buy), one could argue the latter is because they can get all the apps they want on either brand, and that would be an argument against one of the brands having monopoly power.

Depending on the jurisdiction, a lot of non-violent activities are considered illegal and happen on black markets anyway: gambling/sports betting, recreational drugs, contraband goods, prostitution... A lot of the "violence" that you are trying to prescribe to this comes from the fact that these activities are pushed to the underground, not due to the activity itself.

You are grasping at straws and you know it. Right now all your argument is based on your preconceptions against blockchain, but you are misattributing a whole lot of things to it.
