> fundamentally seeking more democracy

I don't think anyone expressed an opinion on whether more democracy was a good thing or not? I think democracy is the best approach we have. And nobody mentioned Stalinism either. Your comment seems off-topic.

Apple announces special event for November 10: 'One more thing'
I'm assuming they are and that makes it even more amazing I think.
I don't see what the issue is. You can either delete them while you still have the subscription, or you can make them public and keep them after you switch to the free plan.

The checkbox clearly informs you of this fact. If there wasn't a checkbox like this, people could be confused either way--some will think it that everything is deleted and be surprised when it becomes public, but others would expect everything to stay and be shocked when it is deleted.

Also, if you wanted to stop using the service entirely, you would go to the page for deleting your account entirely, rather than just downgrading to the free plan.

If it were rational, it would also be falsifiable.

Let me ask you: what would have to happen for you to rescind your belief?

Also; at the risk of starting a discussion about religion: you haven't developed a logical argument by saying "universe is complicated -> deity". You've only moved the problem of "who or what created X" up one level to the deity. Who created the deity?
Building a Lightweight Blogging CMS in 10 Lines of Code
The facet I'm viewing economic activity from is the magnitude, distribution, and probability of expenditure based on the differential between an individual's cost of living and luxury purchases.

The aggregation of wealth in a subset of individuals, with respect to the cost of living, will leave them more free or willing to make nonessential purchases which generate an expansion in economic activity. I'm getting at the point that distributing those liquid assets across more individuals will lead to an increase in the magnitude, distribution, and frequency of aggregate economic expenditure (i.e. monetary velocity). It's tricky because, as you referenced, there are markets for fixed resources which could be negatively impacted if that debt to income ratio gets too large for the majority of market participants. Although I think the trajectory of consumer markets further favors my view point as purchases are transitioning from physical goods to services and digital goods.

In that same vein, I believe profit-motivated investment is only reinforced by a greater diffusion of economic expenditure. The diffusion only increases the frequency of opportunity available for firms to enter an arbitrary market.
Don't be ridiculous; this isn't victim-blaming. Consider reserving that term for when it's appropriate, rather than diluting it.

It's simply making an argument...to which you can just change your response to read "The real problem is the heinous practice of putting..."

And then I agree with you 100%. Or 99%, anyway.

My first computer was a CRT monitor / tower bundle from Sam's Club (back when it really was a warehouse club). 15" CTX monitor with a Pentium 75 mHz CPU, 8 MB of RAM, 540 MB hard drive, and I believe a 2 or 4x CD-ROM. Of course, it had a 3.5" drive.

Word's "Reveal Formatting" just shows tabs, spaces, and carriage returns as distinct symbols iirc.

Wordperfect's "Show Codes" tells you every attribute and layout change inline.

For example, if bolded some text, Word would just bold it. Wordperfect would insert a symbol like [bold] and the text would be plain, instead of rendering it. Removing the code symbol would change the attribute from the text. This allowed you do to format documents for printing on a system that couldn't handle displaying them fully formatted interactively.
> you still need to provide a few specific remote hosts

I thought this was what decentralised means in the VCS parlance ... that you have more than one “upstream” rather than a single, central one.
Never take a super majority for granted. I totally agree that if they had only two years, jam everything through.

AWS is not optimized or built for people who want to reserve their own personal server for a year or more.

Another cost option that the author didn't mention are spot instances. An r4.16xlarge spot instance in Paris for one year would cost $8,900, about half the price of OVH and that is assuming that the customer needs the server 24x7. Having a server 24x7 obviously wouldn't work on spot, but the point is that AWS is built more for customers who are frequently creating, destroying, and scaling their clusters based on need.

Slightly unrelated but does the packet loss happen all the time or when close to maximum of the line.

Used to have similar problems with an ADSL line but found if I limited the line (Both up and down) I could find a magic number where the packet loss went away. (Well most of the time :))

Though it did need to be tuned for different times of they . ie high congestion times need it to be lower.

Though technically it shouldn't be your problem :(

>Not all aspects of programming can be described by math.

This is completely untrue. You may not be familiar with the math, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you can model something well enough to understand it, then you can model it mathematically. There really isn't any domain of knowledge that math is unsuitable for, excepting if you don't know any relevant math to do.

I don't think name calling the EU as bullies advances anything. It is unsubstantiated and sounds like political speak and click-bait.

The problem of unsustainable debts of EU countries is complex. Debts cannot be fully forgotten as this sets an unsustainable precedent. Full austerity isn't sustainable either. Any reasonable solution will be nuanced.

By the way the same issue will arise soon enough to another EU country or to some US state. Will the US feds be bullies by telling states their debts cannot be forgotten?
Hypothesis: the big three US cloud providers are not really trying to be competitive in the European market. Their EU datacenters price in the convenience of a consistent dev/ops story when a US company extends its primarily US footprint into Europe. They are a bad deal for entirely European ops, but this story doesn’t generalize to the US. US dedicated server pricing is much closer to cloud pricing.
What do we expect to change between now and 10-15 years from now that will make regulation harsher? Assuming bad behavior from tech giants continues (and, crucially, continues to be publicized), I would assume by then a competitor will have come along to take the bad-behaver's business.

After all, 15 years ago we still thought Google was "not evil". A lot can change in that time.

A lot of residential modems are also providing networking for IPTV set top boxes. This could be a keep alive for them (even if this particular provider doesn't offer that service).
The disruption is usually not worth it once generations have built their lives and have built their homes based on an existing border regime.

Read about the India Pakistan partition. How would you feel if you have to leave behind everything you have and move to another country because someone decided it is so.
I directly disagree for both King's Quest and Space Quest. So much of the worldbuilding and aesthetic value in those games was their animated styles.

King's Quest was about adventuring through fairy tales, and most of our cultural vocabulary around that has been built by Disney animated movies. I very much believe that KQVII hit nearly the epitome of the King's Quest "perfect" aesthetic with its hand drawn art (even if it went sometimes a bit too "Looney Tunes", and some of the embedded 3D effects did not age well) that evoked playing through a darker Disney or Bluth film. (That KQVIII exists right next to it as first-person and 3D stood even then as a stark contrast for why King's Quest is probably a terrible fit for first-person 3D, even if Roberta hadn't been kicked out of the project and it had tried for a better KQ storyline.)

Space Quest's aesthetic similarly had a lot of "Saturday morning sci-fi cartoon" in its DNA (such as Battle of the Planets, as one example to mind). Admittedly, part of Space Quest's aesthetic was all over the map if they could find a good joke for something they'd swap aesthetics on they fly for that joke (that's a big part of SQIV after all), but the tonality of the series very much never would fit with "photorealistic graphics" at least not for more than a joke or three. (Two Guys from Andromeda's SpaceVenture went 3D for cost reasons, but still seems to have settled on cell shading/cartoon styling over "photorealistic".)
1. Who is going to do it? Politicians? As it works here with the EU subsidies - 80% of the money goes through the PM's cousin's company and a hefty percentage leaks to offshore banks :)

2. Yeah, after they did that, people didn't want to work any more, so they had to force them :)

Being a peninsula country gives you an advantage (relatively fewer border towns to worry about), it doesn’t give you immunity if you fail to do anything and let the epidemic take root within. In addition, being a special kind of peninsula country where anyone who crosses your border can be shot without questions helps out big time compared to other peninsulas, hence the emphasis on “an island for all intents and purposes”.

So I can cryptographically prove that at a particular date at a particular time with a particular camera that I authentically pointed my camera at a screen projecting faked content?

I think this only works if you're signing something currently much harder to fake, like a full light-field or something, and even then it won't stay hard to fake forever.
Ask HN: Safe email service provider for poor people?
In face of the recent discussions regarding Google locking out users for no reason [1], I've decided to look for an alternative email setup. The common advice here is usually something around the lines of Fastmail or ProtonMail with a custom domain. Well, I'm an unemployed student in a third world country where the minimum wage is 150 USD/month. Considering a .com domain registered with Namecheap plus a Fastmail or ProtonMail plan with custom domain support, that would cost around 6-8 USD/month. For comparison, the only subscription I currently pay for (besides bank fees and etc) is Spotify, which costs me 1.5 USD/month with the student plan (I actually split this with a friend).

With that said, what would be the best cost-benefit setup for a safe, personal email service? Thanks.

(Leaving aside the merits of the case / opinions, and just using it as an example)

".. the [Facebook Live & coffee shop] videos depict a male – with distinctive hair to the middle of his back wearing a white mask, white shirt, light blue jean jacket, black pants with a red and white striped pattern down the side and red shoes - setting a fire inside of Ember + Forge."

"A review of additional Facebook public video footage from the area of State Street near City Hall in Erie on the evening of May 30, 2020, shows the same individual without the mask but wearing identical clothing and shoes. The subject’s face is fully visible in this video footage."

And that's a federal arson charge (min 5 years, max 20 years prison).

At this point in time, it’s a fair assumption that anything the Titular Right accuses its enemies of doing, is what it’s doing itself. Even that notorious house of flaming liberals, the Wall Street Journal, concluded the Hunter Biden thing is nonsense. See also: Swift boating, Obama is a sekrit Kenyan Muslim with fake birth certificate, and so on. It’s the Roger Stone 101.

Meantime, the Trump family kleptocracy is nuts-deep in its graft on the taxpayers’ dime and the fanbois don’t raise so much as an eyebrow because calling that out just isn’t exciting or self-serving enough. This is how democracy dies, drowned beneath addlepated addicts grasping at their next fix and just don’t care about anything else.
