> it is far better than having email default to clear text

You have your email set up to "default" to PGP? Can you say more about what you mean by that?
Anger Contributes to the Spread of COVID-19 Misinformation
Far as I can tell that argument isn't a technical argument. It's more of a lawyer type argument where you toss out objections and hope one of them sticks.

One of my memories was my dad taking me to work after dinner. They were running a wind tunnel. They were scheduled to run it at 9pm but the power company didn't give them the go ahead till 11pm. Which meant they weren't done to 2am. The reason, thing draws close to 200 MW. They ran it at night because it's cheaper. Not because they particularly loved blowing their evening into the late morning.

Lot of industrial users are chasing price.

Friend of mine has solar panels and lives in Arizona. She and her husband run the air conditioner full tilt in the afternoon off the panels and then turn it off when the sun goes down.

Much as I poop on the idea that free market pixie dust is the and only the solution to all of our problems. I would assume this is one it'll solve just fine. Seriously if running your air conditioner costs $1/hr in the afternoon and $5/hr after 8pm, you know what people will do.

So what happens in the future when they have exclusivity and he throws another similar joke in there? Skip the joke or not host the whole episode? Not allow it to begin with?
Does the eye tracking work with older games, or is the 3D baked into the game engines?
In my opinion its just not practical for most programmers to understand a book like "The science of programming" and consciously apply proofs each time they write code. Most programs can be delivered with bugs, These can be discovered and corrected over time. So having strong QA teams as an alternative to proofs should be the reason of having and abundance of reliable software.
The article doesn't mention slavery or Native Americans, but the mentioned book Americana by Bhu Srinivasan apparently does go over the economic impact of those.
One can imagine all sorts of thing. Are you saying that you routinely send PGP email with Subject headers encrypted, using temporary mail addresses and pseudonyms? This is your routine email use, with a bunch of correspondents who do the same? Or, along with "random relay ordering on SMTP level", it's just something you're imagining? If you're saying the PGP use you imagine would be more secure than the Signal use that actually exists... I mean, I guess that's cool.
Yeah migrating my Rails 5 system to Webpacker from the pipeline was not smooth and you're right, Rails ended up adopting a system that is configuration hell.

All that said - I love Stimulus.js and Webpacker now that I fought through all the insanity (Webpack configs are nightmare of splicing and trying to reference relative folders either in node_modules or some alias located... well webpack doesn't know...)

If you're on the fence, migrate the entire thing to Webpack - forcefully, with prejudice. Living in both assets pipeline and webpacker is a mental duality that don't co-mingle.

By forcefully, I mean copy/paste raw assets instead of relying on their package that sticks it into the old pipeline.

Stimulus is nutso lightweight and "just makes sense". Everything is self contained.

Antibody testing is getting tricky now, because antibodies are starting to fade, so unfortunately seroprevalence numbers will become underestimates with time.

That being said, in one hard-hit area of Stockholm, seroprevalence was 19% (https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/publicerat-material/publ...). Stockholm as a whole has about 11% seroprevalence in their most recent numbers, but again, I believe antibodies are starting to fade now (https://www.folkhalsomyndigheten.se/publicerat-material/publ...).
1. People who live in the Congo may consciously choose not to become involved in Candian politics. It is absurd to think that is political.

2. You wrote: Your conflation of passive inaction with an active choice to refrain from certain action is absurd.

That is only meaningful as a circular definitio0n. Choosing not to act differs from an inability to act. Why? How would you define the difference between the action of not acting and the action of not acting, because of not making a choice to act?
I guess my main point here is: if shit hits the fan and you lose access to your DNS, your domain is hijacked, or there is some other urgent catastrophic event, who would be easier to reach to remedy your issue? I'm a senior executive posting here offering up my email and as an industry veteran, I frankly do not even know who runs Google Domains. We're a bootstrapped founder-run company with a 20-year track record and even after all those years, we're still passionate about making customers happy.
I think for low level high throughout systems that makes sense, but then how do you go up a level when networking gets involved, dealing with back pressure, load balancing, and lots of other things, etc.
>"Many LGBTQAI+/ally Spotifiers feel unwelcome and alienated because of leadership's response in JRE conversations. What is your message to those employees?" another read.

Identity politics. Something tells me if JRE wants to go on Spotify he will have to massively self-censor, which will ultimately make it easy for another grassroots JRE-alike to take his place and do what he originally did - have candid, open and honest discussions about whatever topics come up.

Shitty, but I guess he's laughing to the bank if he goes through with it.
And here I've only just heard of Pret a Manger. That's after I misread it as "a Pret manager", which was equally nonsensical.
Why Mozilla Matters and Won’t Switch to WebKit
I’m curious what his contract with them stipulates on these matters. As for the employees, they could contact Rogan and either ask to come on the show to discuss what they find so offensive. Joe will talk to anyone, let them have their say and explain their point of view. Arguing to censor his episode history only sends the message that Spotify isn’t a platform for intellectual curiosity and free speech.
Car radios in GTA never have on-the-fly volume control. When you're doing shit in GTA and you feel the need to bump the radio at a higher volume it's a big pain in the ass to actually do it. I've put together a dedicated stereo system so I can turn up the volume with a physical knob but it would be a lot nicer if this could be done natively with the PS4/PS5/PS6 controller. Ramping up just the radio volume in real time with a swipe on the touchpad would be a massive improvement.
Lol but they’ve got no problem with Spotify hosting Eminem songs since it’s inception? This is ridiculous.
This seems antithetical to everything Joe Rogan presents himself as in his show.

I think it’s entirely reasonable for Spotify employees to want a catalog without what they think of as transphobic material.

But it seems completely incompatible with hosting Joe Rogan’s show.

I would presume that the contract gives Spotify no editorial control over the content.

This is going to be interesting.
Dark web voter database report casts new doubts on election hack narrative

It's all the same to me if it works, it's easy to switch the one command I use, I'll probably switch to `gh pr create`, since it appears to be the more maintained package. `hub pull-request` does a few things that annoy me or that seem buggy, maybe I'll compare to `pr`.

I never did use `hub` as a "wrapper" for `git`, I've always typed `hub pull-request`. I never liked the wrapper idea. So I approve of `gh` abandoning it.
Trust me just say no and move on.
It's a huge and expensive headache that only makes sense for companies that are already large and complicated. The red tape, bullshit, bureaucracy, and processes that you will have to add and adhere to ruins any small fast-moving company.

That's an incredibly... unconventional read on the IETF.
I heavily recommend this series from personal experience, since it was one of my primary references when working on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/python/debuggi.... Jumping straight into the CPython source code for the bytecode interpreter loop without a higher-level overview like this can be overwhelming.
Avoid address reuse.

Most wallets and most exchanges do not help with this, they completely neglect it.

In UXTO blockchains like Bitcoin, a core feature is combining your “outputs”, immediately correlating otherwise separate addresses in the same wallet. The system supports transaction types that wallets may not show in the GUI. So you can choose to only send from a specific address. You may have to recreate you hierarchy of addresses in a more capable wallet, but you always can do that no matter where you normally use your bitcoin.

Ultimately you want to unlink your transaction.

Monero, a few smart contracts and some layer2 systems do that. “Coinjoin” systems do not do that, the advertisement of them is probably funded by adversaries.

You have to get your transactions to the systems and currencies that let you unlink.

So you have a series of bitcoin addresses that werent funded with an exchange or tied to your identity. For illustrative purposes lets say you cashed out of a gambling website to a virgin address and US institutions will freeze your accounts if you try to cash out. Nothing illegal for you, as the federal law is only against financial institutions. Just fire up Tor and hop over to Monero using Morphtoken.com and send them btc and get monero. (You dont need Tor for cashing out gambling withdrawals, but just get in the practice.)

Now you have Monero, which is more analogous to cash. If that claim isnt comfortable enough for you, spend time researching that yourself.

You have options now. Monero can just be a conduit for unlinking transactions as you go back into transparent blockchains in a few hours or days. Or it can be your desired currency and nest egg. Or you can sell it directly into fiat currency as several exchanges support it, as well as all OTC desks, as well as local in person markets. Monero is perfectly suited for exchanging for goods and services and many people use it for that despite merchants accepting bitcoin more prevalently, many bitcoin invoices are paid with Monero which trigger another service like Morphtoken to pay a merchant in bitcoin.

Back to the conduit example, you can just generate a new hierarchy of addresses on whatever blockchain you like and convert the monero back into that cryptocurrency.

You can also deposit that Monero on a crypto-only exchange and just trade it for something else and withdraw. This option has the caveat of whether you want to do this in Tor or not, whether the amounts trigger KYC or not, whether you want to use someone else’s KYC, whether you are patient enough to stay in the non-KYC’d withdrawal limits over many days and several accounts, etc. If you just used Monero to a crypto-only exchange under your identity and they got subpoena’d in the future, do you think you need a way to explain the source of funds?

Anyway, thats not even necessary. In this gambling example there is no need to reintegrate, you just need to pass a chainanalysis filter so a US financial institution feels compliant. Unlinking solved, problem solved.
Nice to see Thunderbird still improving.

It also reminds me of the infamously long delay on JIRA-1369, the 20 year old ticket.

At least it's neat software can be used for 20 years.
My guess is that he signed a contract that says he doesn’t have to self-censor.

The issue is going to be blowback within Spotify towards the management team that signed the deal.
Identity politics will destroy our country. Whatever happened to freedom of thought? Shameful
Finally portable gaming console platform is dead now. Why portable-only form factor isn't accepted well nowadays? (Switch is the replacement with hybrid design)
> How would you define the difference between the action of not acting and the action of not acting, because of not making a choice to act?

I wouldn't, because not making a choice to act in a particular way is very different from making a choice to avoid as policy acting in that way, or, as was at issue upthread, “Taking a stance to not” act in a particular way. Taking a stance is (for this subject matter, at least) political. Inaction on its own is not.
> It is quite telling that most Linux conferences end up being about kernel, new filesystems, network protocols, and seldom about how to have something like a full BeOS stack on Linux.

A perfect summation!
That's no distinction at all, what people engage with is just one effective way of measuring what people want to see. HN simply optimizes for something else, that's no less of a social conditioning tool than optimizing for engagement, just in a different direction. You could say that it's designed from the ground up to show people content that stirs their curiosity enough to comment cautiously, or to hide content that stirs their emotions enough to engage strongly.
Out of maybe total 10-15 domains I own now, most are .com .net .in .us & a single .one. Com renewal at dynadot is 9, at Namecheap it is 13. transfers are same, around 9.

Net renewal is again $11/15 at Dyna/Namecheap. Transfers are same, $11.

.in renewals are $7/$12, transfers same $7.

I mostly prefers renewals because of inertia of moving nameservers and or other DNS records. I sometime transfer between namecheap and Dynadot. Most of my purchases are multi year.

*All prices rounded roughly to nearest dollar.

+1 for having same experience at Google, living in Google verse 24/7, but google.domains is expensive.
Whenever I leave the house in winter in South America, I say con chaqueta mina. This means, 'grab your coat, girl' but it also sounds like ketamine concha, literally shell but meaning vulva. The mind-bending rhythm probably aspires to be tango, but is actually more like cuarteto cordobés, Chilean reggaeton or worse.

For what it's worth, it isn't a gimmick to me. I have really terrible eyes, and it's actually the first time I've seen in 3D up close... ever. VR headsets don't work on me, and my eyes can only see 3D at a distance.
These images are amazing, but I do feel that we as a society just sort of take them for granted now. However, I would highly recommend finding a local star party in your area. There is nothing like putting your eyeball on a telescope and seeing things for yourself. Yes, it will not be nearly as detailed as NASA images, but it will still impress.

For all of those made up stories you mentioned, I shed a tear every time I hear modern day things like flat earthers. We still have not gotten away from made up stories.

The idea of “our country” is, fundamentally, an expression of identity politics.

Your disagreement is with other’s choice of primary identity, not with “identity politics” generally.
If you want to go with that argument: cite Japan, not Finland. But it doesn't have to be 100% true to be largely true. The overwhelming majority of nuclear capacity has been built out by nuclear powers or aspiring nuclear powers. And with few exceptions the end of their warhead buildout happens to correlate with the end of their megawatt buildout.
Yes your information definitely creates a reasonable doubt that he would have had the time and job description to do serious head-down graphical-stack type developments.

But I have a return volley for you...who on the Facebook/Oculas graphics programming team, knowing that jcarmack was your boss, wouldn't go full nuts on trying to create some slick tech to impress him with? I'm sure FB has the pick of the crop when it comes to hiring talent, and at least of few of those guys would have to be his fanboys and come up with very useful optimizations and enhancements to add to the Quest graphical stack, right?
I used to be involved in building and shipping research robots (from Canada) and I remember we ran into this a few times with a bog-standard industrial wifi radio that for some reason was under ITAR. Interestingly, the manufacturer of the radio was set up to ship it directly to our customer, we just couldn't integrate it into their robot and ship it from our facility. So they had to put on the radio themselves.

The whole thing seemed very silly and theatre-y to me.
Your whole argument is predicated on "The law is vague. Society has decided such phrases make people unwelcome, and thus companies can be penalized for it."

Unfortunately, the only way to know is to test it in the courts. We differ as to where society currently stands on such matters, and it is certainly not clear that were this to go to court, rulings will be made to penalize companies utilizing the lexicon in the manner that it has always been utilized. And of course, my company never said "We should stop using these words because we are interpreting the law this way (or we think society interprets the law this way)." The notion that there may be a lawsuit was not even mentioned with regards to these phrases.

Your argument is "law is intentionally vague, and society believes X". I agree on the former, and not the latter. Unfortunately, anyone can make any statement when it comes to vague laws, which is why having precedence in a court is important.

You've also not addressed the other examples in my comment. My company, which is compliant with the law on hiring based discrimination, is not going to get sued if they decide not to hold special recruiting events for people of certain protected classes. Your earlier comment asked whether "I am getting it from HR and/or company lawyers", and in this particular case, the answer is definitely "Yes". The need to hold such events has been widely discussed in the company, and it has been made clear that this is a proactive initiative, and not required at all of us. Much of the criticism about this particular part of the initiative within the company is very much about "this is not required by law". There is no way HR is going to claim it is.

Furthermore, I just noticed in your earlier reply:

> You are suggesting that companies are wasting their money for no reason, and consciously running training programs that are unnecessary? Why would "most" companies do that?

I suggested no such thing. Companies do a lot of things that are not required by law. I didn't say all such things are a waste and are "for no reason".
I mean, a WebKit-based Firefox would at least be a distinct engine, and a cross-platform one at that. (WebKit isn't very well-represented on Windows in particular.)

Contrast a Blink-based FF, which would basically just be Brave.
I wonder what it would take to install Maemo/Meego or even matchbox and gpe. I never had a Nokia tablet, but I had a Zaurus SL5500 and it ran gpe usably. Matchbox also does a good job resizing apps to the full screen.

I have run Mobian and Phosh on Pinephone and while clean it was slow, clumsy to switch apps, and did not size most apps properly.
I don’t think Rogan needs Spotify’s money. If he continues as before with zero changes then it’s on Spotify to send the message to all potential partners wether they will be free to be themselves or if they will be censored. I’m sure Spotify’s shareholders will have a lot to say if editorial/censorship decisions reflect negatively on the bottom line.

Side note: it’s amazing to me we’re even having the discussion of censorship about a self-described liberal. Imagine what Spotify’s staff would do if they tried to land one of the biggest conservative podcasters?
I want to defend Kinect. I suspect that it's made by tech driven rather than copying idea from Nintendo.
> Or wearing a t-shirt

Or wearing a "vote for Trump/Biden" t shirt.

In that situation basically everyone would agree that it would be ridiculous to say that the grocery store should ban people for wearing that t-shirt.

I think that most people would not call refusing to ban someone for wearing this t-shirt as a "political" decision.

Most people would agree that it is not political to refuse to ban someone for wearing a "vote for Trump/Biden" shirt.

If you do call that political, to refuse to ban someone for that, basically everyone would disagree with you.
I agree. He has a big enough following that he can launch his OWN platform to counteract censorship.
Would you say the same if someone questioned the original race of Sub Saharan Africans in distant history? If someone argued some were originally not Black and so therefore the ancestral homelands of Afro-Black people are in question, would you say the same thing or is race only a social construct when trying to define the white race? That is certainly the way the logic seems to be but I think that cuts two ways. If race is a social construct then there isn't a Black nation, Black peoples, or anything ancestral to anyone who identifies as Black. Is that a stance you will defend? It seems like there is a clear definition of race for Black and Brown people but not for white people, often done so politically, and I think that bias is why people question whether the headlines of the GP article are valid and at present it does seem to be a stretch to call Cheddar Man "black".
This is an interesting interpretation of what he stated.

What I got from it is that the strength of PGP is in its flexibility and that it gains that flexibility from being standardized and open.

Of course you can extend PGP (or any protocol really) to include cryptographic handshakes, but that's besides the point.

Also noticeable - business insider’s reporting on his recent episode with Tim Kennedy is a total misrepresentation.

> Yes

So then you agree with the vast majority of people that it is not a "political" decision to refuse to ban someone for wearing a "vote for Biden/Trump" shirt?

Cool. That is my point. Basically everyone would not call it political to refuse to ban someone for that.
