It’s also bizarre to shut down a startup with $1.7B in funding after only six months. So I will say that statement is very much on brand.
Most of the time, religious people don’t bother with actual theology. If you care to look, there is a lot of critical thinking that went into the Reformation. Both of these examples go against mainline reformed theology in America. Reformed Covenant Theology says God doesn’t punish us with earthly catastrophes and God doesn’t make people sinners. Many times, Christians just make up or guess at their own theology because they haven’t bothered to read the Bible or haven’t consulted with ministers on matters like these.

It's present on Linux too, and probably MacOS. Aside from Developer Edition there's an Unbranded Firefox you can get from Mozilla in English only which will allow it. Or you can compile it yourself with the MOZ_REQUIRE_SIGNING flag disabled, which is not too hard. On Arch Linux it's just download the firefox-nightly-hg AUR package and delete the MOZ_REQUIRE_SIGNING line, then makepkg -s.

This also provides a good security benefit - for extensions that aren't continually updated you can download them with the "Extension source viewer" extension and then change their ID in the manifest and manually sideload them to prevent them from auto updating and using invasive permissions - malicious buyouts by ad companies are not unheard of in both the Chrome and FF app stores.

And also important, you can tweak the extension code as desired. For example the Old Reddit Redirect extension, which automatically switches reddit.com to old.reddit.com also changes new.reddit.com to the old one, so if you ever want to actually visit the new design then you have to disable the addon. There's no way to change this aside from editing the extension and then loading it unsigned.
No, enforcing this law on the victims would be much easier. The criminal is most likely in a foreign jurisdiction, and trying hard to hide their identity; the victim is in a local jurisdiction (otherwise, this law wouldn't even apply), their identity is known (on the jurisdictions I know of, companies must be registered with the government), and the government has a large amount of tools at their disposition to enforce a judgment (for instance, freezing and/or seizing bank accounts, or in extreme cases even suspending the company's registration).
Can you get colonoscopy without any symptoms for family history of colon cancer?
The worth of a superdollar is equal to as much dollars as you can spend per second times the seconds you can expect to live. Both numbers are large but finite, the first is bounded by the value of global economy (no matter how many dollars you create, the total purchasing power of these dollars can't grow beyond that), the second is bounded if not to a few hundred years then by the time until the heat death of the universe.

In a similar manner, the total amount of reward that you might ever get is capped by the amount of pleasure your brain can perceive at any given moment (which is finite) times your lifespan (which is finite).

You might reason and hypothesise about agents perceiving infinite rewards (as we are doing now), but this has nothing to do with the reality of homo sapiens rewards system(s), or, in fact, the rewards system of any agent existing in our physical reality, which is effectively bounded both in time and space.

It's not strict censorship per say, but more repression, but there are a lot of oddball youtube channels that are very popular that constantly get demonetized based on a somewhat arbitrary definitions of what is and isn't appropriate.

This is important, because a lot of these people are trying to make their livings creating videos on youtube, and start trying to avoid otherwise interesting topics so they don't get demonitized.

This is utterly ridiculous.

This will have the effect of reducing the number of cases of ransomware that law enforcement sees. Not by actually reducing the cases, but instead by making it untenable for a victim to notify law enforcement.

<rant>This is unfettered metric fetishization -- the idea that a problem can be quantified as a metric and when the metric is reduced the problem is reduced. The map is not the territory, you can't just look for your keys where the light is good, the bed of Procrustes, etc. Or maybe it has nothing to do with this and is just a well-intentioned but stupid idea.</rant>

Total shot in the dark: I had a similar problem, it turned out the power supply for the router was faulty.
My guess is the network routing is happening in the software defined network AWS creates below the traditional networking layers.

Sometimes it's tempting to think AWS' services are just like traditional appliances you'd stick in the middle of a network path but in reality they're all virtual and run on top of their software defined network in something they call hyperplane.

That means traditional intuition about how packets flow, like needing to be in the path to preserve the IP, may not apply.

It seems like in this case they need to preserve the static public IP that was used on the NLB for the incoming request across the whole transaction but maybe aren't doing that.
Why anyone would pay these folks anything is beyond me. While cheating is certainly a thing, and easier to do online, violating people's personal space and trusting in some average behavior BS to flag things as suspicious does not seem worth the cost. Add in ridiculous behavior by the company, if I were an educational institution I'd stay far away from these people. I remember reading about something similar being used to take screening tests for programmers which watched via the camera to ensure the test taker was not cheating; I'd tell any employer who wanted such a thing to get lost.
So much of that is pure elitism. Didn’t she spend the most money ever on her race? And lost? How Is that stellar? I’d be ashamed of that. Not the losing part. The trying to buy your way in part.

otherwise all you’re saying from the get go is she had her foot in the right doors and was able to get good jobs at P&G and Bain. Do you think she truly earned the jobs or was truly the best candidate for those jobs out of everyone? Her eBay tenure is not destroying the company, but instead letting it do its own thing without actually doing anything else. You can see the results for yourself over the past decade.

You’re right most people can only dream of such things because dreams usually contain thinking about luck, lucky breaks, winning capitalism, though not necessarily out of skill and talent.

The point of my comment should becomes clearer if the first few paragraphs is read: the author thinks it's great idea to tell law enforcement to target victims through an hypothetical law he is proposing that would make it illegal to pay ransoms.

He's basing his opinion on treasury department decision to (seemingly) ban ransom payments to ransomware groups.

What he seems to be misrepresenting is: treasury department is not banning ransom payments. They are clarifying that payments (including ransom ones) to an entity on sanctioned list is illegal.

How does this translate to the rest of ransom requests seen in society is beyond me.

Are we setting up a precog unit to classify all people and entities in the world as sanctioned/non-sanctioned?

One of the mistakes people make in situations like this is to make all their communication (and complaints) via telephone.

Start writing real letters, on paper, in an envelope, with a stamp. Get proof of posting (but not proof of delivery) and start building up a paper trail. This way you get to show them what they promised, and that they didn't deliver that when they said they would.

Learn how to write a complaint letter. (Keep it short. Explain what went wrong, and what you'd like them to do to fix it. Give them realistic time limits to do so.) Go through their complaints process. You can copy in all of the organisations.

Then, when you've exhausted their complaints process you escalate to their regulator.

I'll wait for your list of slave revolts that actually cause a revolution in the ruling class. I know it won't take you long.

Revolutions need leaders, like the other person who commented. There isn't enough wealth aristocrats that can lead, so they stem from the middle class. The middle class tend to have lower class friends. They can very easily sway them to their cause. Now multiply that by tens of millions of middle class that suddenly became unemployed.

Unemployed artists can make propaganda, programmers can make websites and portray this information at the forefront everywhere (think the whole black lives matter flags everywhere), business people assemble and manage large groups of people, scientists devote their time to studies on working class struggles and less on scientific endeavors, etc. The lower class can't do any of that stuff. They don't know how and never had the time to figure out.

This is the very reason why Hitler rose to power through the NSDAP. He did this stuff and appealed to the right aristocrats. The NSDAP grew and unemployed middle class members peacefully revolted by joining them because they wanted their old pre-WWI lives back. They hated hyperinflation owed due to the Treaty of Versaille basically imposed on their government an impossible to pay burden which cause currency debasement galore in order to pay it back. This in turn create hyperinflation that essentially decimated the working class. The money they had no longer could buy the things they wanted. Now they have nothing but an education and time.

I would think that for less than 400k in random payment, the perpetrators of the attack (and anyone complicit) could be located and permanently removed. That might deter future attackers, unless of course these are government sponsored attacks.

I wish I could try them out for a while before plunking down a chunk of change.

> Who evaluates the value of metadata?

Currently, users give it away for free, or else they can't access google's services.

Google uses the metadata to supercharge its advertising business, which outperforms all other forms of advertising previously invented, because google knows that ads users will click on as a result of analysing their metadata. William Randolph Hearst, Lord Northcliffe, Ted Turner, Rupert Murdoch and all the other media barons who went before google could only ever dream of this sort of control.

Google's advertising revenue is in the order of $162 billion per year.

> Both groups of people are super religious (same religion even), and both use their religion to back up their beliefs, not the other way around.

That’s because as far as I can tell, the purpose of “religion” is to assist in tribal bonds. Even though it’s not explicitly stated, it helps serve as a proxy for people to figure how closely to align themselves with another.

When I was a child, I wondered why people who didn’t believe in the assumptions of a religion or act according to them still stated they belong to that religion or performed certain rituals and traditions relating to the religion.

I came to learn it’s because it helps serve as a signal to where your political allegiances might lie and helps manage your priorities and subtly inform others.

Non “religious” societies may have weaker tribal bonds or allegiances with each other, so in times of conflict, they may be unable to create the group dynamics that enable them to survive and/or thrive. Of course, my whole theory might be wrong and maybe there are better signals nowadays.

Zen were terrible when we used them at home. Having used Zen in the past I was expecting better. They eventually provided a service, but it took longer than it should have and there were a lot of unnecessary mistakes and support calls along the way.

We were literally trying to get them to work through a set up procedure they had somehow forgotten to do - on Christmas Eve, which was at least a week later than it should have been.

A&A have a good rep among geeks but they seemed expensive and I've never used them.

The best service I had in the UK was with Virgin (on local coax). Apparently their customer service is pretty poor. But aside from the occasional random outage the service mostly just worked, and at the advertised speeds.

How to Count Insects from Space
I have a Unifi USG, which has a third party wireguard addon, though of course OpenWRT could work just fine. You setup a wireguard tunnel normally, but disable the default routing (on a Unifi, set route-allowed-ip false), and then explicitly add a route for 10.124.0.0/16 through the wireguard interface. The mullvad servers page[1] has socks 5 proxy addresses for all of their servers - assign one to a firefox container and you're all set. No reason you couldn't have a container for each geographic region you want.

1. https://mullvad.net/en/servers/

On a USG the config looks like this:

wireguard wg0 {
address ***/32
mtu 1420
peer *** {
allowed-ips 0.0.0.0/0
endpoint ***:51820
}
private-key ***
route-allowed-ips false
up-command "ip route add 10.64.0.1/32 dev wg0 && ip route add 10.124.0.0/16 dev wg0"
}
The Treasury department diy NOT outlaw ransom payments. They clarified what was already illegal: payments to sanctioned entities is illegal.

How this author extrapolates this to "let's put the victim of any kidnap/ransom through hell" is beyond me.
> You are basically financing a criminal group. In normal cases that's clearly illegal.

Clearly, not the case. That might be an interesting way to naturally limit the size of corporations and their influence; if everyone who fills up their car at a gas station becomes a felon by being a customer.

Yet it seems to scale too low for some purposes. Its the rare restaurant that has never had a minor (or major?) health code violation. Certainly we shouldn't shut down all restaurants?

Maybe the strategy to implement "sons inherit the sins of their fathers" as government policy would be customers inherit one step down from the sins of their corporate retail operator. So a step down from a minor regulatory issue at a local restaurant would be nothing, but a step down from a major felony committing megacorporation would be a misdemeanor ticket violation.
So I can just buy one "poisoned" bitcoin and send a tiny fraction of it to every public address I can find. Now the entire network is poisoned.

Criminals use a variety of money laundering techniques, such as "tumblers": big buckets where you put in both legitimate and illegal transactions and get back an unidentifiable mix of both. But I'm sure a lot more cleverness is happening.
I see massive difference between concentration camps guard and aristocracy. The big one is that all camps guard have chosen to do that. The guards in death camps were voluntary members of SS - the elite German armed group.

Compared to that, not just that aristocracy is hereditary, but they had duties beyond "kill people". They were backbone of army, yes, but still it is not just that.

I think that making comparison between aristocracy and guards in concentration camps is more of political then actual attempt at reasonale historical analysios.
My brother, who works as a fitness trainer as a gym, where he also does some office work, says that they had exercise balls for the desks, and he was relieved when he convinced them to go to chairs.

Java and C# have been industry standard in enterprise for 20+ years now ? There are order of magnitude more trained devs, infrastructure, etc. and risk of getting obsolete in 5-10 years seems negligible. Even then the support community will be order of magnitude greater since so much of existing infrastructure is running those stacks and SW is orders of magnitude greater than it was in COBOL days.

You don't need to jump on flavour of the month stack just because you are doing a rewrite.

I have Crohn's disease and in 2015 had 5 ft of small intestine and half of the adjoining colon removed.

Unfortunately my insides were so fucked up that they had to properly open me up (i.e. not keyhole, more doorframe). Then I got sepsis after the operation and was in the high-dependency unit (US equivalent is ICU I think?) for a bit. That was fun. I was there for a few days, but remember about 2 hours of it. My family visited apparently, I had no idea, but I was talking to them, so I'm told.

I couldn't walk for weeks, other than staggering around (which they encourage you to do otherwise the scar tissue will heal too tight). The wound took about 3 months to properly close up, I had a nice deep hole in my abdomen for much of that, you get used to the gory stuff.

I'm generally better now though. Crohn's still dictates much of my daily life though, but you learn to live with it.

This is fairly off topic, but I noticed that the paper thanks Dynata. I got a call purporting to be from Dynata that was a "push poll", meaning they were basically using it to present really unflattering questions about a particular candidate. It had a pro right-wing, somewhat obliquely conspiratorial bent - "How concerned are you about child sex trafficking?" It also had more overt stuff, in the vein of "Given that Joe Biden's plans on the economy would destroy it, does that affect your preference for the two candidates?" I asked them who was funding the poll, and they said they didn't know.

I find myself curious about how that world works, but cursory google searches didn't help, and I imagine it's pretty murky. Would love to know who is funding those sorts of polls.
