My ISP gives me a dynamic IP. I could turn off my router for a few minutes and be someone "brand new". Or I could use IPv6 (if my ISP actually invested in it), and have every web request use a different IP.

The only surefire way to curb abuse is to make sure the abuse is not cost effective for the abuser. For spammers trying to make a buck, make it so it costs them more to send their spam than the value they reap from it. For non economic spammers (politics, trolls, etc), it's a lot harder, but there's always some price that it becomes not worth it for their influence/"fun". This was the approach Bernstein was trying to do, but based on the article it sounds like he underestimated the cost of storage as technology improbed.

The hard part is adding this cost in such a way that does not drive away or punish real users. An email system that costs $10/month isn't going to be used by many spammers, because any reasonable administrator will ban obvious spam and they won't get their $10 to cover costs before being shut down. But it also limits the customer pool; most people are not going to pay $10 a month of email when free services are available.

Phone numbers are definitely not perfect, but they are trying to solve the problem of "What do most people have and would not invoke any additional cost on them, but would invoke additional cost on spammers?" Yes, phone numbers are relatively cheap, but there is still some backtracing/ownership checks that can be performed, and ones from more "trustworthy" blocks will still cost a buck or so. Suddenly spammers need to make at least a $1 from the account or they are losing money.

Domains are another way spammers are often dealt with: if it costs $10 for a domain, you have to make $10 from the domain before it is blocklisted, or again, you are losing money.

I can't think of any myself, but if you have any ideas for a model with comparable high costs to spammers but low cost to real people, that fulfills your privacy expectations, I'm all ears. However, costs generally are better enforced in a more centralized model as opposed to a federated/privacy respecting model, so I suspect it will be incredibly difficult to find a solution that actually enforces the appropriate economic goals.
> * Quebec French vs. France. (true to the form of TFA I do not speak French, so I cannot assess this claim.)

For those who want to research that further:

1) France French uses slang based on puns, like mec (dude):

https://www.thoughtco.com/un-mec-vocabulary-1372268

2) Quebec has more English loan words because of proximity to Ontario and USA.
1) my parents go to bed at ~9:00 and got cranky if I’m out past then.

2) my parents have an extremely conservative view on dating that I don’t share.

3) my mother verbally abused me most mornings and I would rather be homeless than return to that

4) my parents live in an extremely rural place that makes socializing a challenge.
What I would be banking on most within a "proper" free market would be corporations ability to fail in extraordinary circumstances, as opposed to the current setup where it seems like corps get bail-out after bail-out.

With this being the case, more small companies would be able to compete, at least in theory.

That being said, I believe you are correct. It just seems that the only way to improve things is to get to the point where people do think before purchasing, regardless of the state of State.

As far as having an efficient state goes, I would find it more likely that it's not going to happen because those in power have incentive to maintain the current status. It both provides opportunities for corruption and gives an excellent platform to run on.
I followed one of the links to this very closely related article that does go into some more detail, though the actual link to marriage age is somewhat glossed over.

The TI 990/10 DX 10 minicomputer was exactly the same. The teacher at my old school actually picked the TI990/10 over the PDP/11 because the PDP11 did not have "true descenders". The 990 didn't either but avoided the problem by having miniature capitals for lowercase.

He was a strange guy. Long since departed.
> Either the formal system has nothing to do with the real world, or it is an incomplete approximation of it.

Ok, but this is a totally separate meaning of “incomplete” than what the incompleteness theorems are talking about.

So, if that is what you meant by “incomplete” in your original comment, you should know that your comment looked like it was appealing to Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, which do not deal with that sense of “completeness”.
What's your motivation for thinking in that way?
Blaming an application for not having perfectly reverse-engineered a convoluted, confusing and incomplete spec is harsh. I admit it's frustrating but maybe the sender should be using a standard format.
>"where naming is more like branding"

I meant it followed the branding pattern, so it happened the brand was derived from the name.

> Do you think that 7-11 is itching to shoot up AM/PM? Would you still buy your Slurpies there if they stared?

Not while it lasted. But generally, that's what happened before the nation states took over the monopoly of violence and enforced it with an iron fist. You may not see two mega companies go at it (they'll form a cartel), but want to set up a new shop next to 7-11? Good luck keeping the flames from spontaneously erupting all the time.

We've had private right enforcement before we've had public rights enforcement, or rather, public rights enforcement evolved from private rights enforcement. You went to your local nobility who had a bunch of men to do the violent enforcement, and they'd settle disputes for you. Still: war.

I'm not convinced it's a good idea to go back to a system that we've abandoned for its many issues, injustice and general inefficiency. Now, if you throw blockchain in there, that's a totally different story, of course! ;)

In my last year of primary school a teacher brought in a mate he had to give the class a lesson on computers for an hour or two.
He brought in a TI99 and we spent the afternoon learning about programming, graphics and 'sprites'(yes he had the expansion)

..after the lesson, I went up to him (Graeme) and asked if he would tutor me after school.

I then spent the rest of the year - (two afternoons a week) learning programming - and have been doing it ever since.

Graeme wasn't what I would call a great teacher - but he gave me the opportunity.

I remember my first program was a copy of a game called something like 'Wild Gunmen' where one or two players tried to get into a situation to shoot each other.

I eventually got a TI99/4a a few years later (as it was selling for $99(AUD).
Wrote a flight simulator (dials only) and something that I really loved - an almost perfect copy of Frogger including music!
The most annoying problem with the TI99/4a (apart from loading from tape) was that it hated running out of memory - and when it did would just crash.
That always meant a reload from tape, optimize something, save to tape, and try again.
Lots of fun.
Most people in the US did have those advantages. That's kind of my point. The guy pumping gas for minimum wage used to be able to do all of that.

I don't know what your personal life situation is at the moment, and I do apologize if you are on hard times. I know it's rough out there. I'm inferring from your comment that you are in the United States. Do you really think a shot at a rented roof over one's head, a college education from a state school, and a kid is asking for the moon?

Same situation here. Would love to go back but for job opportunities . Now that other companies are open to wfh I think I have to look out.

As for your DSL I too had the same problem and I found stability after I switched to Netgear from Linksys. Have you looked at that?

I spoke to someone who started working in sheet piling when he was 16. This is in the Netherlands, so plenty of that to go around. He stayed with his parents and saved until he could buy a house out of pocket at 25. He was 30, said he was saving to retire at 35. It blew my ‘educated’ mind.

Typewriting was an skill in the XX century. In order to reach high words/min, you need to develop memory muscle and avoid typing errors.

Those days, a single typing error means repeat a full page. With modern word processor that have disappear.

It was common to have two or more caps in a row.

There are two shift. They were designed to use with the opposite hand to the key being type. So only one finger in each hand is pressing the keyboard, that applies to uppercase and special characters. Fast typing means you avoid errors and balance the hands. For uppercase/special chars you need both hands, one pressing the shift, the other pressing the key.

When there were two or more characters, the operator switch to caps, it was easier, faster. The memory muscle was developed.

Back in the days, mechanical machines don't have italics, only one font, and bold was tricky in some machines. This applies also for Selectric, nobody changed the ball in the middle on a text. So uppercase was used for emphasis.

That's how a trained professional used caps lock 40 years ago. Currently, it depends on your text input.

You're correct. But spam-fighting isn't one of the rationales listed in https://cr.yp.to/im2000.html, so this blog post seems like a strawman.
Do they have to be mutually exclusive? The goal of design should be to solve a problem as elegantly as possible given the parameters of the problem and the tools/materials available. There is no reason a solution to a problem cannot be both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
No totally. But even from your own perspective, the output of your day is the same, you're being paid the same, which means to the economy you're also the same. So the title of the article is a bit ridiculous. Formatting the title of the article as a question makes it okay?

Not even that. After a fire has started for a completely different reason, the fire insurance company inspector comes in and finds it. You know, the person that loves to find any half reason to not pay you. Why are you even paying fire insurance when this thing even lies unconnected on a shelf.
Meh. I’m not bothering with “RealID.” I live somewhere that driving isn’t required so I don’t need an up to date drivers license and I very rarely fly anyway. I’m sure I won’t be the only person doing this.

I’m hoping (and reasonably hopeful) that some lawsuit will nerf it before I ever actually need it. Many people already argue it’s illegal.
I'm happy to report that of course I sent in much more PRs and some even got accepted, but I highlighted one that didn't as an example of why it feels like a waste of time.

Similarly, I've had unpleasant experiences with entitled users more than once, I just picked the Heroku buildpack randomly.

As for the satellite tool, open tools will only take you so far. I do use GDAL, for example. But when you need to take photos on demand, you need very precise real-time trajectory and weather data, for which there is no free equivalent. Plus you actually need to send your photo request somewhere. And that's when you become dependent on an NDA-ed proprietary API.

There's good open source tools if you want to do offline analysis of static archive images. But not everyone has such relaxed requirements for refresh period and processing latency.

Consider using satellite photos to analyze traffic. You schedule photos with a proprietary API, use proprietary modules to download them, followed by proprietary file format converters. And then there's a block of image processing that I could open source, but that won't be helpful without the data acquisition and conversion pipeline. But actually it's a TensorFlow AI trained on proprietary data, so even releasing that is a legal nightmare. The whole project is commercially tainted from start to finish.
>There would absolutely would be many people who would be perfectly fine selling them food or housing, in exchange for goods or labor. Or maybe even charity! That exists.

Really? You think that of a society that everyone together created the rules for, built for their own well being, and that they are voluntary a part of would be full of people willing to throw that all away to help someone who already spit in their face? I think you're wrong. This isn't helping the disadvantaged, this is helping those wishing to exploit you.

Why would the current concept of "charity" exist? It's current use is primarily for the rich to buy PR. If a member of the community is in need, the community will help them, they don't need people who's job it is to sweet talk others out of their money.

>What, are you going to send out "community" embargo squads, that follow people around, find where they live, and find who is hiding the secret tax evaders or something, so that you can enforce your embargo on both of them

We aren't discussing tax evasion, we are discussing people who openly refuse to be part if society. As they have openly done so, everyone in the community will know or will be told.

But that does not correctly describe how the relationship with the Soviets were handled - that's not how I remember it. There was always cognisance of conflict, and there would have been absolutely no chance of a tilted economic relationship pumping hundreds of billions into a military which is fundamentally incompatible with democratic values.

Continuing on the current path will keep things peaceful for now, but happens in twenty years? The belief that China will open up has spectacularly failed.
There is a reason why that insurance cutoff age was not 26 when you were growing up.
I would've chalked it up to "there are layers upon layers of magical things I don't understand, I guess I only need to interact with them and slap them together."

That's fine though.

If someone learns C++ today without knowing any ASM very few people would tell them they're "doing it wrong". If someone learns Unreal Blueprints without learning C++ senior game developers still see them as productive game developers. If someone writes a great GLSL shader on shadertoy without knowing how to use WebGL that's OK too. You don't have to understand all the layers in order to use them and make good stuff.

The web is no different. I see no reason why people can't just concentrate on learning the top level abstraction to make things until they encounter a problem that they need to know more about the lower levels to solve. They might never have that problem.

All of this "You have to learn the underlying tech in order to use the framework on top of it" just sounds like gatekeeping to me.
When did television shows first go HD and which were the early adopters?
Compare and contrast with the latter part of Yergin & Stanislaw's The Commanding Heights, which goes into detail on the American origins of China's economic policy.

Huntington's The Third Wave also applies, since China looks about the same as a lot of other economically developing countries in the mid-late 20th century, including a lot of 'democracies' that were de facto single party states.
There is also SoftMaker FreeOffice (the free version of SoftMaker Office):

https://www.freeoffice.com/en/

Unlike OnlyOffice, it's not open source, but it is an excellent product that I have used for some time now with no adverse results. Works well with HiDPI.

I have a deep respect for the people behind the LibreOffice project, but to me it still feels a lot like its predecessor: StarOffice from Sun Microsystems, a product that I did not like.

I have not tried Caligra Office or Abiword / Gnumeric lately, probably I should.

In my thousands of games on lichess I've run into a couple of cheaters, but they are very easy to spot. You also get the rating points refunded once they are caught and removed.

A standard engine is probably somewhere around 3000 strength (better than any human), and the average person who cheats is probably 1000-1800 strength. Within 1-2 games you can easily tell if a 1500 player is magically playing above super-gm strength all the sudden. The player also isn't going to be good enough to not play the computer moves that give them away, because they won't understand them!
All that is true. I have someone on my team who is at 25% of normal due to their children.

However, what about the person who is caring for someone (perhaps an unwed partner friend) with mental illness worsened by the pandemic? Taking care of someone with severe mental illness (e.g. suicidality) can also be extremely draining and time consuming, yet there are almost always 0 official leave benefits for those sorts of situations. And even caring for an elderly parent or sick non-immediate family member tends to receive less support compared to many parental leave policies.
> With more prosperity people also often want more independence and over time welfare services get better built out to help both the young and old.

Yes, people will almost always choose freedom if they can afford it (including parents who can take of themselves). Few would willingly choose to compromise unless they have to, which is shown in data. The super rich Indian kids I know live in flats in big cities by themselves.
> The names you suggest are generic terms that already exist in the respective jargons with different, more generic (and in fact more intuitive) meanings.

The last three, like I mentioned, were pretty much direct from Wikipedia.

But yeah, I'm under no pretense that these are necessarily correct. My only point is that we can surely do better than "$person $thing" for nomenclature. The Otto cycle is a perfect example; sure, "four stroke cycle" might be too broad, but "spark-ignited four stroke cycle" (maybe abbreviated to SI4C) doesn't seem to be (there are technically other such cycles, but the vast majority of the time people talk about a spark -ignited four-stroke cycle they're talking about an Otto cycle or some evolution thereof).
Imagine memorising the best part of 200,000 words in a foreign language in order to win a game of scrabble! And not being able to string a sentence together in that language!

That may be the goal. But it also makes using the internet anonymously very hard, since getting a phone number are linked to real names in my country.

There should be less invasive solutions, like rate limiting sending of emails from new accounts.

There's quite a bit of essential (to me) functionality that is not available offline though. For instance, you can't convert a sheet to PDF or XSLT. Version history is not available either.
Spam senders who use their own infrastructure is pretty much solvable using things like reputation score. Details varies but they generally work good enough. Hence, most spam piggybacks on other infrastructure.

At the time of IM2000, an eternity in Internet time, most of this was done using open or poorly secured relays. Reputation score worked well for that too and that spam vector is closed now. Remaining vectors are hacked infrastructure and the large cloud and free email providers. Storage cost could be relevant to escalate the problem for the latter.
