Logical Fallacies and Other Things You Should Know as a Moderator
I think you can get most of them again, but not for a few years.
Platinum Plaisir is also a great pen! I combined with Noodler's Bernanke Blue. It dries extremely quickly and it's very smooth writing. At 0.3mm (Platinum Fine), it's really hard to tell the difference between inks but Bernanke Blue is a fairly pleasant blue.

I think I paid 1000 JPY for it, but these days it's around $10-$20 on amazon.
What’s Motivating the Matrix Engine Movement in Supercomputing?
In particular, you can only create a world where everyone is equal by taking away the freedom to not be equal.

Now, if we want to take away the "freedom" to be not equal on the downside, I'm not sure that I have much problem with that. If people aren't "free" to live in abject poverty, to have to choose between there medicines and their food, to not have air conditioning in summer or heat in winter... yeah, I don't have a problem with removing that "freedom".

But I have a problem with removing the freedom to be unequal on the upside. If I want to have more than you, and I can get it by producing more than you... why not? If I can't get rewarded for producing more, I probably won't produce more. That leaves less for everyone. Who does that help?

Thus those who try to prevent inequality on the upside remove freedom, and make everyone worse off. Worse off in two ways. First, society doesn't get the extra that some people would have been motivated to produce. And second, they made everyone less free.

Less free plus less stuff? Sure, sign me up... not.

While we don't have ancient audio, we can learn something about how a language was spoken by analyzing poetry with strict pronunciation rules. There's research in Chinese (I believe the original researcher was named Chen Li) to reconstruct how Chinese words used to be pronounced by analyzing poems that were supposed to rhyme but no longer do.

Do octopuses' arms have a mind of their own?
I think some form of democratic socialism is clearly the way forward. We can see what has happened in the unregulated capitalist countries like USA and UK. Poverty levels are way higher than they should be, very poor response to Covid, just insane levels of wealth inequality.
I would probably recommend two things: 1. Move away from Gmail as soon as possible, to a service like Fastmail or Proton Mail; 2. Have an email from that provider as the “last resort”, i.e. hedora@fastmail.com, while using your domain name based emails for most other things.

This doesn’t solve the “everything is in one basket” issue, but you don’t hear stories of these email providers just “closing” an account and causing immense trouble for the person, at least in part because they have actual support.

If I go for dedi, do you know any tool to simulate running multiple, independent VPSs on a dedicated server? I was thinking maybe something like creating Docker containers on the dedicated server, but I'm not sure how the management/provisioning/resource sharing would work, plus I assume it would still need extra IPs and stuff like that for each VPS.

It would be nice to have like a Control Panel where you can link dedicated servers, and then provision VPSs on them using an UI like the one on DigitalOcean. But I guess this would mean having a complete DO competitor (without the hardware part) :D
I agree, I wish this was the case but it's still a compelling gift for my nieces and nephews and tickles my nostalgia for the era of computing that it mimics.

> I'm much more concerned about the inverse, not people getting fooled by fake content, but believing that anything that doesn't align with their views is fake. We can end up in a post truth society where someone like Trump, Duterte, Bolsonaro or Orban can claim that any footage that is not politically advantageous to them is fake and created by an evil opposition to hurt their cause.

I believe the optimum approach is to be concerned with all risks, and weigh the magnitude of each in a state of careful self-monitoring of one's potential biases (and ideally, have your conclusions reviewed by others, preferably from a diversity of ideologies and perspectives in an attempt to minimize the well known affects of groupthink). Noteworthy to me is that a significant number of people (if not the majority, depending on which community you are in) are easily able to see the epistemic errors in their outgroups thinking, but has more difficulty in doing the same within their ingroup.

For example, in your comment it seems that you have noticed shortcomings when it comes to politicians of one general ideology, but I wonder if you are of the belief that this phenomenon does not occur across all ideologies?

I'm thinking it would be a great little all in one for making my gradual transition to linux from windows. For 100 bucks, I'm sure I could buy an OLD laptop, but I like the RPi route!

I was about to buy a rpi-zero-w with a KVM or remote into it but tbh the more powerful rpi4 sounds like a better option. It has the gpio headers and keyboard built in!

I mean, you aren't wrong- the US is the world's biggest producer of food, oil and natural gas. These are important strategically.
This kinda thing is prevalent in academia, it is probably totally useless and at best so incomplete as to not tell you anything.

There is a lot of research going back to the 1930s solving this problem--how do you estimate energy potential based on available data. The machine learning approach is really the variational approach but using very expensive (lots of parameter) functions instead of cleverly choosing your fitting function so that it has parameters which are physically meaningful and significantly fewer in number. The first helps with building a meaningful story of the underlying physics while the second means you need fewer data points.
Do you have any proof that this actually works?

My experience is that instead most people switched to Netflix, Spotify, YouTube (et al.) because they were more convenient and cheap enough, and the MAFIAA mostly stopped caring about torrents.

And people that were worried about getting fined started using VPNs/seedboxes.

I still haven't heard of anyone in my circles getting a fine.

> Netflix couldn't even load its browse screen until the past two weeks

I assume the browse screen is based entirely on TCP?

I'm struggling to understand why packet loss would prevent it from loading -- it should be slower but TCP should handle re-transmission, no?

Or is Netflix doing something tricky with UDP even in their browsing UX?
This is cool. I only wish they didn't skimp on the keyboard. If this were in something like a DAS Keyboard and it could also be used with another PC (as a regular keyboard), that would make this an auto-buy for me.

Edit: yeah, I know, it'd be more expensive, but I'd gladly pay $250+. And I also realize that cost is one way they're attempting to differentiate--it would just be nice to have the option.
4G on the Moon: One Small Leap, One Giant Step
It's such a meme on this site to compare costs of AWS to hardware costs as though the hardware operates itself. I'm sure there are many cases in which onprem actually is a better value proposition than AWS, and I would find it much more interesting if we talked about when to go with AWS vs onprem, but instead we try to make these silly comparisons about the upfront cost of a server blade vs an EC2 instance.

> Ultimately this is only because such systems are forced to take on responsibility that our current system completely ignores.

Perhaps. But there are too many examples of societies that, when they decided to take on that responsibility, were unequipped to do so without becoming horribly oppressive. And not being oppressive is part of their responsibility, too...

> Git is not truly decentralized, in the sense that you still need to provide a few specific remote hosts, all of which could disappear due to law enforcement.

Some time ago, I and a friend worked together on a project in a place where there was no centralized git server; both of us ran git-daemon (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-daemon) on our desktops, and we often pulled from the other as we developed each feature. It was fun, and worked really well.

Git is truly decentralized, in that each developer has a full copy of the code and its history, and any of these copies can be used as the source for other copies.

> In a true decentralized system (e.g. Bittorrent, Bitcoin, etc.) it's practically impossible to delete something, and there would be plenty of accessible copies of data in jurisdictions that are out of reach of any single country's law enforcement, and even out of reach of the original creator to delete, so the original creator's government would not be able to force them to delete it.

That's how it works with git; everyone who cloned the repository to their desktop (for instance, to develop and contribute a patch) has a full copy of the history up to that moment, and that copy is out of the reach of both other jurisdictions and the original creator. There's no way to even know how many of them there are, much less who has them.
There's a story, no arguments why it will work. "Of course it can" is no argument. And the story is just way too far gone tbh.

But it 'd be nice to hear your own criticism on the story. You 're right that almost all comments here focus on the person.
I try to avoid consuming too much news, so I don't have much exposure to other news sources (and I only probably get an hour or two of NPR programming per week). Given the level of coverage I've heard on NPR, I would be pretty shocked if the subject hasn't received some coverage by most major media outlets.
> Does anyone have data on if we could build a small ICE that is strictly a generator?

Obviously, ICEs that are strictly used to crank generators are common.

If you mean “is there data on whether that works in what is otherwise a battery-electric car”, that's called a series hybrid, and there are several production examples, including the Chevy Volt.
If your government is posting information exclusively to twitter, that's the problem that needs fixing, not twitter's legal status as a utility. Additionally, an account isn't needed to view that kind of information on twitter.
Yeah, I see now what it's doing (and how it's implemented), so the use case makes more sense.

One should definitely not default into "we're secure because we use AWS". But let's be honest, how many servers in the basement feature video surveillance? How many destroy their hard disks securely?

An honest statement would be "we reduced our burden of security by building on top of AWS".
