Quite exotic for me. it’s just rare to find somebody from that area without visiting the place.

Just out of curiosity why did you buy a weapon. Is it a customary / way of life kind of thing or Something else.

Is there a way to lear about these remote region, their people and their Culture , tier day to day life without visiting the place. Do you recommmend any books?

The Bay Area is not representative of the US. There are plenty of cities with jobs and affordable housing. They may not be "cool" or located in "fly over country", but believe it or not, they exist.
1. Yes, what physical processes? It's just signals.

2. I can postulate that to be true, but unless I have hard proof I cannot say it to be true. If that isomorphic consciousness finds _itself_ to have a subjective experience... Then it knows that dust theory exist, no one else does.

3. I do not understand this question
- Fill out surveys at malls with your name and either a phone number or address that matches one currently in your credit file and you can supply false info for the the opposite.

- Put in a mail forwarding card with your name from a former address to a random real address like a Starbucks, Taco Bell, apartment complex w/o unit number, etc.

- Change the billing address of a credit card or utility and allow to sit for one billing cycle. Works best if you have e-statements. They will send a physical confirmation to the address and it will most likely go in the trash but not guaranteed.

- once a quarter you can update your information with the credit bureaus and they will Happily record it. Later you can say you never lived there and they will remove the info - but only from the databases used in credit decisions

These are the ones most effective because there is almost no filtering, just a bunch of automated processes collecting and distributing. Just make sure there are one or two “facts” that the data quality algorithms can use to link your “new” data with existing profiles.

It seems to me that the whole threat of being doxxed relies on two things: (1) that you’ve done something in one sphere of life that would be reprehensible (and maybe actionable) to another sphere of life, and (2) that the unholy Russian Twitter not mob can influence that other sphere of life.

It may not be possible to have different spheres of life cohabitate peacefully, especially if the doxxing involves shining light on old character flaws you’ve since remedied, but thanks to the digital world we live in, can be easily surfaced. I’d say “get off social media forever” to at least prevent your self 20 years in the future having this same worry about whatever it is you are innocently sharing this month, but that always seems to draw a gasp from people who apparently can’t imagine life without the internet.

Seems to me that everyone who has ever been doxxed is doing “something” that draws attention to them. That doesn’t make it right, but I haven’t heard of doxxing of any quiet Amish families, or guys building cabins in the woods minding their own business.

It’s usually some loudmouth on some
open source software forum, or some politician’s operative, or someone being a potential whistleblower.

What you are asking is, in essence, how can I keep from getting punched in the mouth? It’s not too difficult, if you think about it. Someone randomly punching you in the mouth “for no reason” is about as statistically probable as being struck my lightning twice in the same week.

Some people attack punches more than others. I’m not saying it’s right, or even deserved. Just that there are life choices that can increase the odds.

Maybe what you’re really asking is how can I avoid the risks of some life choices I am making or want to make?

All the advice here will only partially mitigate the risk. The only real way to eliminate it would be to make different choices to stop unwanted attraction.

I somewhat laughed at all the “privacy” tips here. My friend, if you tick off the wrong person, they will find you or hire someone good to do it for them. And if doxxing is their chosen revenge, you can’t choose to then decide to be a quiet mild-mannered ordinary citizen when you already opened your mouth and drew attention to yourself.

I’m sure everyone who flips someone off across the street wishes the same when they see the scrawny guy reach into his jacket and pull out a gun.
Find the courage to post under your real identity. Society can’t cancel everyone. In my experience whatever political activism you’re engaging in (you mentioned as much in a sibling comment) will benefit far more from association with a real humans than with “internet commenters”. Politics happen in the real world, the internet is not representative in that respect. There are very few things that require true anonymity, and in a liberalist society political speech is not and should not be one of them, despite trends of late. The only effective response is to fight back and speak up for what you believe is right. Don’t be a coward. I mean this in the most sincere way possible.
The US has been dismantling the rule of law for decades. They call it "deregulation". It lead directly to the last big financial crash, and it also is largely responsible for predatory schools, prisons, universities, banks, and much more.
That's the American dream? I always thought it was "start out with little, but end up with a solid middle class lifestyle."

That doesn't mean Ivy League school or owning a house in the Bay Area.

Plenty of people are living the American dream working jobs paying $75k, living in a house worth $200k, kids going to public school and two used cars in the driveway.
> A good example can be seen in Airbnb’s introduction to Project Lighthouse, which states that the company was “deeply troubled by stories of travelers who were turned away by Airbnb hosts during the booking process because of the color of their skin.” Were those guests really turned away because of their skin color, or because their prospective hosts were racist?

I got this far into the article. People that react like the author of this article are why I will never, ever comment on race (or gender, or any of the other hypersensitive topics of today) in a professional capacity. Is it not blindingly obvious what Airbnb was actually saying here? How about a little charity principle, especially on such sensitive topics?
For basic word processing, no.
> Meanwhile there are still millions of projects done with OOP, including super-complex AAA games

I've heard that OOP in game engines is in decline with so-called "Data Oriented Programming" taking over, that Unity's inheritance class library was a disaster, etc.

So, it's not FP per se, but a focus on data over "objects" is a big part of FP being about "values" instead of opaque state.
People here LOVE guns. Everyone owns multiple guns in their house. I think it's our pukhtoon culture and a sense of pride and security that comes with owning a gun.

When i was a kid my father used to clean his AK every other week and i would sit by him silently and enjoying as he broke it down into multiple pieces and then make it into one piece after cleaning it.

For me i wanted to have my own original Russian AK because having an original AK instead of one made locally is like having an iPhone 11 pro here. :)

Nice. Any idea how big it is?
Yeah, the breaker in the panel that’s going to trip at half the rated load of the PDU itself? I don’t see a problem here, as long as you’re making sure to stay under the constant load rating of the panel’s breaker.

Sure, a 15A breaker isn’t going to trip at exactly 15 amps because inrush current and all that - but this is no different from using a dumb, unprotected PDU.
> I would be more concerned about the gender-opposite of the connector shown (ie, L5-20Plug to 5-15Receptacle). That would allow you to plug a 15-amp rated cable into a circuit which is defended by a 20amp breaker - now the cable is the weakest link.

Huh? Isn't plugging 15-amp appliances (with cables only rated for that) into 20-amp circuits totally normal? I have a few NEMA 5-20 receptacles in my home; in fact I think the latest code requires that kitchens have at least two of them. They accept NEMA 5-15 plugs, and I use them in that fashion without a second thought. You probably do, too.

My understanding is that the circuit breaker protects the wiring in your wall from excessive current. If your appliance may draw more current than its cable can handle, shouldn't it have its own fuse/breaker?

The adapter cable that Rachel mentions allows plugging a 20-amp appliance into a circuit that may actually have a 20-amp breaker, with this plug between that's only rated for 15 amps and doesn't have a built-in fuse/breaker. (I wonder if the cable is at the proper gauge for 20 amps or not.) That doesn't sound proper to me...
Don't use your real name online. I don't have any complicated privacy best practices, I'm just not on social media and don't use my real name online if I can at all help it.

Edit: Sounds like it's too late for you, but don't be an activist online using your real name unless you have some real, physical security.

It's also become much less accessible to your average every-day person.

I remember in 2001 my brother's community college in rural America taught HTML and Flash development. Not only could you learn to make websites quickly, but you were learning technology that was exactly what you would be using when working at a company.

You could argue the technology is better these days, but it's certainly not more clear to newcomers. I recently described to my younger sister that she should learn React through FreeCodeCamp in order to make websites - but suddenly you are dropped into a world talking about declarative programming paradigms, unidirectional data flows, and lots of other foreign concepts described as magic (the virtual DOM, Babel, etc.)

If my experience had been this growing up I would have never gained interest in learning the specifics / details of what was going on when writing HTML/CSS/JS code. 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."

I also think the incentives have changed - it's less about making something cool and sharing it with your internet friends these days because there is money to be made - it's about buffing your GitHub profile to get a job, creating a startup that extracts $$$ from people, etc.

I feel it is very similar to early days YouTube vs. YouTube these days, and that saddens me.
The NEMA 'L' receptacles (L5, L6, ...) are locking. When you connect the two ends together you rotate them slightly so they won't disconnect due to vibration, etc.
This is just plain wrong.

Almost all modern hardware sold for on on-premises S3 use can be purchased as SDS which means in most cases there's no stated difference between SDS and SDS installed on appliance vendor-engineered appliances.

As stingraycharles said above, if you don't want to mess around with BIOS and RAID and OS settings and updates for a very important app (say, patient records), you'll get an appliance.

If you want on-prem S3 for some simple apps like private Docker registry, in most cases you can buy the s/w from your appliance vendor and run it in KVM VMs, for example. But if you need a tested hardware and software stack with Minio, your choices become very limited.
Really, "Try to be more like John Conway" is good advice all around.
The circular one is a twist-loc that prevents it from disconnecting accidentally.

The -|| 20A design is great in theory, but you only want to install a receptacle of that type if it is the only one on the circuit (and I mean only receptacle, so not even a single duplex) because what would be the point if you can plug in two devices that both require 20A. I've put these next to a window to power an air conditioner.

The problem with the twist-loc is that the 15A and 20A designs are not compatible. You can't plug a 15A device into a 20A outlet, but 15A twist-loc receptacles are rare. So it is not uncommon to put a 20A plug on a device that draws much less than 15A if say you don't want someone to unplug your router by accident.

It seems that current LTS relase needs more bug and glitches fixing, quality is worse than before :-( It's not just snaps, also software center have it's problems (crashing, glitches/lags in listing and installing apps, driver detection problems). I used Ubuntu for many years, it's normal that some relases are more polished that other. Overally great OS and it's "free". Let's hope they will fix it. I used error reporting functionality and also donated to Ubuntu.
I’m actually trying to address this problem by creating a place for “kind, clear and constructive” discussion online, which uses anonymous identities, so that all users can express themselves in safety. Of course, the hard thing is to have both high quality discussion and anonymity, take a look at conferacity.com if that sounds interesting.

God I wish more people using electrical lawn equipment paid attention to the rating of their extensions cords. Nothing like seeing somebody buy the cheapest super-long cord they can for their electric pole saw and wondering how long before it melts.

I’m going to blame the manufacturers for this one as well, they don’t usually provide current limits meaning you have to grab a table giving safe loads based on AWG and length.

> It lead directly to the last big financial crash,

Erm no. 2008 was directly linked to Greenspan (Fed), Freddie Mac (Federal) and Fannie Mae (Federal), all government run entities, which stopped making proper risk evaluation when issuing loans. That's not deregulation, that's a problem with how these government agencies actually functioned.

https://www.fool.com/investing/dividends-income/2008/09/10/t...

> If not the boldest of the group, then at least the most public, Greenspan, the man many are now blaming for the housing bubble (there were a brave few that piped up years ago), has refused to go quietly into his well-padded retirement. The man charged with providing the country with a financial voice of reason fell far short, so much so that it might be comical if it weren't so tragic.

> Greenspan's denial of the possibility of a housing bubble has been widely derided in the past year, but a single statement could be excused as human error. However, a quick scan shows that this wasn't a single event. He also promoted the adoption and expansion of adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) products in early 2004, when short-term rates were at or near historic lows. That same year he claimed, "securitization by Fannie and Freddie allows mortgage originators to separate themselves from almost all aspects of risk associated with mortgage lending." And separate themselves they did, ceasing to perform any kind of due diligence as to the ability of borrowers to pay for the homes they were buying.
I can imagine that.

So follow up q: if people love their guns how do they use it typically? Shooting random targets In open spaces and that kind or is it more like a samurai sword. You own one and then it’s pretty much caring for it.

Also for a culture that loves guns what kind of gun violence does it see typically if any. I understand these days it’s different due to the region being torn by geopolitics and war but am trying to understand the culture outside of it.

Also do you still live in the region or have moved. If latter how frequently do you visit And how do you typically get there?
But it’s not really. What we’re doing here is by definition social. It’s just a different flavor of social. It’s surprising to me that you think talking to other people on the internet is somehow anti-social.
The kid running in front of the guy shooting at 10:10 in the video gave me a little scare.
A forum is not anything like social media. People think that any internet site where UGC is posible is social media? Not.

HN, for instance, is not based on finding friends, creating glamorous profiles, posting daily and weekly updates about one’s life, or reading other’s posts. It has no images, hashtags, auto playing videos, or your cousin and high school sweetheart arguing in the comments of your post about your luncheon at the Hilton if you should be even at the Hilton because of your or their political views.

No, HN is just a topical forum. The only shadow of social media on it is when people post links to YouTube, which I don’t get or understand why it’s allowed. Why not post all the links to YouTube every day? If O wanted to watch videos about Perl, I’d go to YouTube.
The breaker is there to protect against faults, not someone intentionally violating what it is protecting against.
I had a Wacom tablet that comes with one of these. The tablet's only input is USB Type C that requires the other side to support the Displayport alternate mode... and computers didn't really have that kind of port when Wacom released it. So it same with a box that has a USB type A port, a mini Displayport, and a USB Type C port. You can then use an A-A cable to plug into your computer (along with the Displayport for video), and then connect via Type C to the actual tablet. In theory, you can also connect the box to the tablet via Type C, and it becomes an extra USB port.

It is janky and every time I go through my cables I say to myself "why on Earth does this abomination exist", but I suppose they had a good reason. Now that graphics cards have Type C ports for VR (apparently), it's not a problem. But it was back when they first came out. They ended up having to use a stupid special cable because they made their device too nice (if you did have a Type C port with video out on your computer, you could still use the converter that you paid for).

I suppose there is some precedent for USB devices that can switch over to being the host. I remember buying a "USB on the go" adaptor and plugging a mouse into my Nexus back in the day. It worked! A cursor appeared and you could move it around.

(Unfortunately, I hated that tablet. My Surface Pro was much better, and it wasn't even designed for drawing. I gave both devices away and now just use my iPad, which still isn't as good as the Surface Pro 4.)
I don’t think you actually need to change the writing style, you just need to make sure that the corpus of writing for each and every identity is small. Then the error bounds on the probability that any particular piece of writing is by the same author as another piece of writing on the internet will be so wide as to effectively make such analysis useless.

Ideally, any site like reddit that allows pseudonymity would have a super lightweight way of creating multiple parallel new usernames for you to post under, with a way for you to see a coherent view of everything your multiple identities have posted, but where to everyone else, each identity looks like a separate user.

I'd be interested to know more about your proposal to solve the precomputed work attack vector. Also, I think if you can easily create an attack that would DDOS network, you should absolutely try it on the Nano test net. That's what the test net is there for. To my knowledge, the precomputed spam attack has been mitigated by the Dynamic PoW feature that was added in v19. See my other reply with more details on that. I would like to know more about your proposal. You can email me at purplewumpus@protonmail.com

Most HN commenters constantly whine how "data wants to be free" (no IP, no patents, no copyrights...), but when it comes to their own data they act like crony capitalilsts of the worst order and want to enlist the State to help them ensure exclusive, monopolistic rights to that data.
