China's market is about 4x the US market. It's surprising that any of our software has remained competitive this long when competing with companies serving a captive user share 4x the size of ours.

Sad! Developer of `ffsend` here.

I've built `ffsend` as CLI tool for Send to securely share files from the command line. It has been a great success! Thanks Mozilla, for building and providing this amazing service!

For the interested: https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend

I'm currently hosting a public Send instance myself so ffsend keeps working. Let's see how long I can keep this going (and funded). It's available at send.vis.ee .

Your local police department doesn't have any authority over namecheap. In scams, we do open a case file with them so that they can monitor problems, to create a verified paperwork trail and if issues such as stolen identity arise.

Namecheap does have a duty when they are informed with reasonable evidence to not be an accessory to a crime. Prior to being informed, Namecheap is in the clear. Once they're given clear evidence (and in my case it was blatantly obvious because it was a crappy scam) then they do have a duty to act.

It's the difference between Ford selling a car which happens to be used in a bank robbery, and Ford knowingly selling a fleet of armored vans after being told that their client is a known bank robber.

If anyone’s wondering why lithium is a somewhat-rare element (only 25th-most abundant in the Earth’s crust) in the first place—given that, by Big Bang nucleosynthesis, it “should” be the nearly as abundant in the universe as hydrogen or helium: we aren’t really sure! It’s an unresolved problem in physics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_lithium_problem

(We do know that stars can “destroy” lithium baryons at high-enough temperatures, and that does explain part of lithium’s rarity. But even given that, it “should” still be 3x more abundant than it is; or rather, the Big Bang should have produced 3x more lithium than it did, given our current models of it.)

This is actually one of many reasons I started my own project to rewrite some of the firmware on an IP camera that I bought (WyzeCam). I wanted something open where I owned most of the stack and could customize as needed. I'm not as worried with a hardware level backdoor but firmware backdoors and/or just bugs are more worrisome. It has been a great learning experience working on the embedded side.

I'm not opposed to basic income, but before we do something like that I think we owe it to people to teach them how to actually use money. If you look at the US Bureau of Labor Statistics for people making less than 50K a year, you'll see stuff that blows you mind. https://www.bls.gov/cex/2019/CrossTabs/sizbyinc/xtwo.PDF

For example, a family of two making less $15K a year is spending $1,800 on restaurants. A family with that income should not know what the inside of a restaurant looks like.

Giving people money without the knowledge or skills on how to use that money effectively is throwing that money away. I wonder if other countries that have basic income programs do a better job education their people on how to use money?
WARNING Repeating a conspiracy theory I read :

They think it came from underground Bats. And the whole "escaped" from lab thing was that a few Miners got sick years ago in a mine near Wuhan and the Lab there was the treating facility. At the time know one knew what they were dealing with so they quarantined and ....middle middle middle... Someone pulls out a corona virus for some bench top lab work a few years later and it gets out.

END Conspiracy

Maybe bats? Please don't beat me up :P

Honestly, everyone is in a bubble of some sort. I have literally no clue about the fine details of what it is like to live in most of the thousands of world cultures out there. Even countries that I have visited briefly, there's no way I could claim to be an expert, let alone places and people I have never been to or seen. Your viewpoint is largely limited to your direct experience. Some nuggets of wisdom of course may come from the experiences of others being communicated to you, but nothing beats direct experience.

What's the point of claiming that a tech bubble is a "cancer" and a "drain on the progression of ideas"? There's definitely a "valley paradigm" of sorts, but there are multiple technology centers around the world. I do think it is important to be aware of paradigms and try to reach out from them, mind you, but this seems more like a generalized accusation.

And I'm not sure where Trump comes into this. I do have Trump supporters within my extended family; I have plenty of non-Trump supporters in my circle too. While the information is still incomplete, it is still more information than I have about, say, (random example) National vs. Labour voters of New Zealand (or one of the many other smaller political parties in that country), since I have no one who I directly talk to from there.

The one nugget that I know from the limited experience I have is that generalizations of cultural blocs must be taken as the simplification that it is. It is an unfortunate necessity to generalize complexity, of course, so while they tend to be "incorrect" in the details, I tend to have no problems with non-malicious generalizations, as long as the generalization tries to be as accurate as one can and tries to be thoughtful instead of relying on tired tropes. However, I do tend to look heavily down on any malicious, inflammatory generalization of a culture -- I mean, even the ordinary generalizations often are wrong at some level, right? People who use wrong information to inflame and anger receive poor marks from me, and if they are doing this in spite of knowing better, even more so.
Yes, so interest. Just a replication argument.
As I understand it, the issue is less the number of times Trump has used it and more the use of a pardon as a political tool or to setup quid pro quo.

That question is a setup. A leading question. A question with intent. This is why you ask it, so you can reply the way you do when you answer it for us.

Who cares if any of those companies can operate in China freely? It's really their problem, not ours here on the forum to discuss on a post that removes our options and choices. What is important to discuss is whether or not portions of the US Government are acting illegally in blocking or interfering with freedom of action and speech BY INDIVIDUALS. Fuck the companies. They caused this problem.

Do I not have a right to buy a product and use it? Do I not have a right to use an application with which I best communicate with the people who are important to me? Is it not the US Government's job to oversee the communications coming in from outside our borders and protect us from the harm that may be leveled against us by a nation state's transmissions? Why is it the state insists on making illogical choices that place us in a double bind?

Why is it that our actions are now being very clearly limited? Why is it that we continue to allow our liberties to be removed, one sliver at a time, because of big business greed?
My uneasiness comes from a realization that too many tabs means that I am not prioritizing tasks. Sure enough, a quick review of the tabs results in most of them being closed since what felt important at the moment was not important in retrospect.

As for people who have 50+ tabs open, I am left wondering if they are going about things in an effective manner. At least in Firefox, it is easy to select a bunch of tabs and bookmark them for future reference. It is also easy to load up all of those bookmarks at once when needed. It is a lot easier to deal with the eight tabs from Project A and the dozen tabs from Project B independently than it is to deal with all twenty at once. (Granted, this could be made easier. The big drawback with bookmarks is that they are a snapshot in time, rather than the reflection of a dynamic project.)
Safe harbor laws only apply when you reasonably don't know or couldn't know about the illegal behavior. Once you become aware of it then safe harbor no longer applies.

==You can come to other conclusions. I've come to mine.==

You can come to any conclusion you'd like. Just like I can point out your obvious hypocrisy. You demand far more evidence from others than you present for your own stance. The Mueller Report and Senate Intelligence Report each investigated this allegation and found it to be non-credible [1].

Mueller Report:

"Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report said WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had made statements “designed to obscure” the source of the DNC leaks and of having “implied falsely” that Rich was his source."

Senate Intelligence Report:

"One narrative from Assange involved a conspiracy theory that Seth Rich, a DNC staffer killed in a botched robbery, was the source of the DNC email leak and had been murdered in response. On August 9, Assange gave an interview on Dutch television implying that Rich was the source of the DNC emails, and that day WikiLeaks announced that it would be issuing a reward for information about Rich’s murder. In a subsequent interview, Assange commented about the WikiLeaks interest in the Rich case as concerning “someone who’s potentially connected to our publication.”

The bipartisan Senate report was unequivocal about the factual basis for this theory: “The Committee found that no credible evidence supports this narrative.”"

Your optimism is misplaced. They may not be smart, but they have a low cunning. They have learned from this episode, and they will make sure there is always a Trump figure in place (not necessarily at the presidential level, but that might work best) to distract the more credulous 80% of the public. Obama at least pretended that there could be public oversight of the unsupervised services. They haven't suffered that insult since Trump took office.

Have you not seen the videos of "peaceful protestors" literally smashing and burning down buildings? Committing indiscriminate property destruction and arson makes people thugs, regardless of the colour of their skin.

Wasn’t there a proof of concept for exactly this about how social media apps were probably already doing this? I believe I saw it on HackerNews. It was a site where you gave them camera access and then ran something like a 60 second experiment. Seemed academic.
The desktop version is fine. The mobile one they recently decided to blow up with an ill-advised switch to a new architecture. In the process they have pretty much ruined the UI for no good or apparent reason, and have neutered key selling points like the addon support by only allowing the installation of pre-approved addons. The app is borderline unusable now. I truly do wonder who signed off on this, because this may very well be one of the worst redesigns of any peice of software ever.

Yeah, I remember that. Just massive floods of comments saying she's clearly a traitor and no punishment is severe enough.

It was weird, because news started out as a blend of neutral/positive/negative when the issue was first known. Then suddenly--and not only on reddit--within 30 minutes of a Chelsea Manning topic being posted anywhere, it would have an absurd number of outrageous, angry responses.

The same happened with Assange news. Sometimes even Snowden.

Up until 10, releases were feature-driven, meaning, based around the delivery of something when it was done like Generics in 5, Lambdas in 8, modularity system in 9, etc. With 10 and on, Java is now a time-based release cadence, every 6 months in September and March, like clockwork. What's ready goes in, what's not waits for the next train.
I think it's because he's angry, which is somewhat understandable, because he thinks he's debating with a racist.

I'm not sure why he refuses to accept the fact that he might be wrong in this instance, though. I've seen him talk about other topics with Maher before and he's not nearly so bombastic or hard-headed.

I saw an interesting interview with Harris shortly after this where he said everyone was shocked that Affleck inserted himself into the conversation this way as well. I haven't seen many episodes of this show but apparently this segment is always a one-on-one between Maher and the guest in question, usually talking about whatever book or movie they're promoting, and given Ben's relative frequency on the show prior to this, he was aware of that.

Yes, however, whether the harvesting of content and data is illegal or not, it occurs. The US has no power over Chinese firms by just "making it illegal", as numerous examples have shown in the past - especially if these firms are controlled by the CCP.

It's not that American firms don't act equally despicable with our private data, it's simply that the US has the ability to punish them.

The CCP is obviously doing the same thing, which is why the majority of comparable products to these services is not allowed in China.

It seems you are somewhat confused.

First, central banks usually send any profit they make to their governments. (See eg https://www.google.com/search?q=fed+profits+to+treasury for lots of examples.) The governments then spend the money. There's no endless accumulation.

Second, there were long stretches of time in the past when inflation was zero or even negative. Have a look at the so called 'Long Depression', a period of rapid productivity growth in the latter part of the 19th century. Just look electronics usually fall in price these days, almost everything slowly fell in price back then over long periods of time.

But banks were just as 'evil' as they are now, and people paid interest.

Third, money doesn't have to be based on debt, either.

Historically money based on commodities was common. But in Japan their central bank recently bought stocks in return for newly 'printed' money. There's no obligation on anyone to ever buy the stocks back from the central bank.
The do charge interests. Sorry, they "don't". They charge "administrative costs", percentual administrative costs that reoccur over time.

Although this comes in many different flavors. And, of course, despite everything sounding nicer ("partnership"), it is in fact a much worse position for the buyer to be in.

An example of islamic finance "without interest": you want to buy a house, and repay your "non-loan" over 30 years. You put down a 10% downpayment.

The bank purchases the home, immediately increases the price by the full interest (let's simplify that calculation to 30yearly interest rate/2, so let's call it 50% for 30 years at 4%) then leases it back to you, and if you run out the lease they promise to transfer (for an additional fee) the ownership of the property to you. This is called a "partnership". This is illegal in most of the world, because it's exploitative. Why?

1) you are charged all interest on day 0
2) if you fail to pay, the property is in the hands of the "not-" bank that will kick you out, you will STILL owe them, generally more money than was to be repaid for you to get the property
3) if the *bank* gets into financial trouble you will lose your house
4) there are none of the normal protections (such as maximum interest rates, limits on administrative fees, ... and technically 2) is also an example of lack of protections)

The Unfinished Story of Emmett Till’s Final Journey
I've seen you post before on this. The whole catastrophist label seems overly broad, and some parts are reasonable while other parts are less so.

How advanced do you think this civilization was? Do you think it was the Clovis people?

I think the megafauna extinction as support for a catastrophic event is very poor. You see multiple waves of megafauna extinctions, each preceded by human introduction. Places without human presence had megafauna into the late 20th century. I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I'm saying it's unconvincing. And air bursts of that magnitude and coverage don't square with fossil or sediments.

But ... impacts aren't required for this. Maybe there was a culture that was relatively advanced. The Mississippian structures were huge. Incan and Mayan cultures were advanced based on contemporary cultures. Anyway, I'm curious what you believe is the case.
Me too, I average 6-7 open at a time.

You seem to contradict yourself ITT. Above, you said ...extensive and thorough reports laying out the evidence. Now you say the evidence is redacted and sealed.
Your response boils down to "Mom!!! Johnny did it too."

I wish you luck overcoming your hatred and bias. Your life will become infinity better when you stop repeating and start investigating.
Assange's denials about Russia's involvement aren't credible on its face. The question is whether Russia hacked the DNC emails that Assange published. Assange fundamentally has no knowledge of the origin of the emails as the final stop in potentially multi-person hand off. The only way he could know Russia didn't hack the emails was if he was standing over the shoulder of the person who did. It is like a Tor exit node claiming to know the origin of a communication. It fundamentally is unable to determine that information without a side channel, which in this case would indicate collusion with the hackers.
I think it’s the opposite: what they wanted was for Assange to claim that Seth Rich had stolen the data, not so much to confirm DNC influence on the probe but because it’d fuel a whole nightmare scenario of conspiracy theorizing.

If I’m reading this correctly, they were literally trying to create a disinformation campaign to demonize their opponents, which is very much in line with all these Republican operatives flying to Ukraine trying to get some dirt on Biden.
QAnon and these right-wing conspiracy stuff is the opposite of what I'm recommending. Any reasonable and logical person can quickly determine the fallacy of QAnon if you start looking into it.

All I'm saying is, start watching the commentators I'm suggesting over a period of time, and you will see they are not conspiracy theorists.
