These are all good points. I guess what I'm getting at is that if you have to have multiple identities to ensure privacy, then you somewhat defeat the point of having your own domain, unless that is, you have multiple domains that you own.

I don't particularly have anything to feel uneasy about. It's more the idea that I don't want one central domain that I use for everything which is tied to my real identity, either through the domain name itself or through the whois record (although I think you can pay to have an anonymous whois). It seems like a central point of failure. There are documented cases of people having their identity stolen and numerous online accounts hacked because they used the same email address to sign into various services. If you know someone's email address and one or two other things about them, social-engineering your way into other services they use seems to be relatively easy for a skilled attacker.

This is all somewhat paranoid thinking, but I don't want to go the hassle and expense of getting my own domain, only to that it is a less secure or private option.

Not all in the same place. WaveG and Atlas and Google (WebPass, not Google Fiber) buildings do not overlap. Nor do WaveCopper-not-WaveG and Comcast except for a small part of Beacon Hill and Lower Queen Anne.

And CenturyLink does not offer fiber-to-the-home, or fiber-to-the-node-with-gigabit (and FTTN upload is limited to a paltry 10Mbps) in about 35% of the city, including places like Ballard, most of the Central District, Hillman City, or Crown Hill.

There is some value in unit tests for plumbing. Something I see a lot is a set of values being transformed across several domains, losing data at each step. A very simple test that inputs values on one end of the pipe, and checks the values on the other end of the pipe, makes it very easy to be sure that you didn't drop something.

I’m not happy with the security on GitHub actions.

The current options I have for my orgs is to either allow all actions, allow actions hosted in the org, or whitelist specific actions by name.

It’s not clear to see actions and any testing or certification they may have. Even github built actions might be under an individual’s account. So it takes quite a bit of effort to check out an action to see if it’s safe or dangerous.

And I worry about actions a little more because they do things like copy files, deploy systems, and other things where I wouldn’t want rogue code interjecting malware.

Currently I require all actions to be hosted in the org so devs have forked actions into our org. That at least makes a developer vouch for a particular version and makes it harder for an update to that action to break something.

I think they need an equivalent of “gold actions” endorsed by GitHub. Or a vetted repo like pypi or cran or something else that actually has some controls around versions and changes.
On their reddit AMA thread [0], can you point me to a single of their over a hundred answers which expresses concerns that media is overhyping and running away with the story?

On the contrary, how would you 'nudge' the laymen's thought to be directed a certain way? would saying things like "So it's a big deal" and then putting a question mark at the end work? [1]. Does that ring a bell, or are you daft enough that you would need data to be convinced that doing so is a sign of wanting attention, and wanting the story to get sensationalized?

And why would you do a public forum AMA and then go through the effort to post over a hundred answers to begin with, if you didn't want the story to blow up?

I don't know if you're associated with any research or academic body or not, but here's a news flash for you: stories don't get big on their own, not in today's short-attention-span world. The researchers take the just-published work to their organization's news outlet and ask them to cover it. The unspoken, and often spoken, reasoning being "this is significant". If a researcher wants to practice caution, it is super easy these days to do so, just don't make a mountain out of a mole hill.

Also you and the other downvote sheep, go eff yourself and do your own research about what really happened a month ago (I was there and was telling everyone that these researchers are bullshitters taking everyone for a ride).

If you're used to Australia, almost anywhere in NZ will offer beautiful surroundings. And, thanks to the broadband rollout, most towns have fibre and those without fibre have cellular that's fast enough for most things.

I wonder how long they can get away with blatantly exploiting the system?
I'm slightly less concerned about being anonymous from the government and far more concerned about being anonymous from businesses.

How is it that every time I move, they still figure out where I live and continue to send me junk mail? I'm extremely concerned about the ease of arbitrary businesses finding out where some person lives. I want this to be unethical to the point that whoever leaked my address without my consent to be arrested and fined.
> The Democratic party platform explicitly talks about removing barriers to municipal broadband as a goal

Since the cities are generally under solid Democratic control (there's not a single Republican in elective office in Seattle, for example), there's something else going on.

It's much more convenient to use a native terminal on a GNU/Linux phone. Everything you would do on a desktop, you can do with it.
I don't know about intentional, but I think it's unfortunately common. I think housing is the most egregious example. I live in a neighborhood filled with millennial parents who have their own detached homes and fairly modest jobs (mix of college/non-college). Meanwhile, my lawyer friends earning six figures feel like they can't afford homes or to start families. The difference is that they live in heavily regulated cities, and I live in an unincorporated part of a fairly rural county a few miles away from a small city. (But still in a blue state!)

I'm not a hard-right libertarian--I think healthcare probably has some examples of market failures and maybe we need something like universal catastrophic insurance. But yeah, some of these problems, like housing costs, really are self-inflicted.

I think the other approach is to shift blame or sweep under the rug problems with services that are entirely publicly run. If you have a problem with the schools or police in your blue city/state, 90% of your energy should be directed to your own state and local officials! (Instead of railing against Jeff Bezos or Donald Trump.)

On the other hand, being closed source help getting the "community" feel where people discover some quirk and secret features of a strange and not-totally documented device.

I don't think the laggy feeling on most elevators is actually due to regulation, though - the elevators in my current apartment building are wicked fast, and it was built <10 years ago in SF so almost certainly code compliant.

Lightweight elevator doors exist. "Lightweight panels generate lower kinetic energy for faster door cycling and less stress on door operating systems."[1]
For the mass of the door, there's a top speed, and that's on the data plate for
the door, so the installer can adjust the speed.

Most elevator injuries involve doors, so this is taken seriously.
Elevator door force and kinetic energy standards, and measurement tools, per ASME A17.1-2013/CSA B44-13: [2]

Much real-world stuff works reliably because there are explicit, enforced standards. We need more of that in software for critical functions.

I’ve sent dozens of support tickets over the decade, and can’t recall ever not receiving a response, including on minor feature requests or bug reports (e.g. once there was this minor UI issue where scrolling causes certain UI elements to jump around on iOS Safari, or something like that).

That's absolutely not what leads to exploits like these. What leads to exploits like these is "Interpreting output from untrusted code (i.e. output from arbitrary commands) in a manner which allows execution of protected commands (i.e. setting env vars)". Which is like the primary reason for most security vulnerabilities.

If you're laying fiber, it costs next to nothing to make it gigabit versus 10Mbit.

The issue is that fiber internet itself is a much better product than non fiber internet. And tell the people who have kids and are also working from home that they can't stream video because an HD video stream is 3Mbps+ and 4 people in a house streaming at the same time at high quality is basically impossible.

Some people also have security cameras streaming upload too. The applications for increased bandwidth are numerous. Remote doctor visits can use high quality video, you can stream things from your home NAS, backups are quicker.

English is a mis-mash of languages which reflects the various conquering and assimilation actions between the Roman empire and 1066 in the british isles, on top of an active loaning of words.

When you have a language that's half nordic, half french, half german, with tons of words from elsewhere, the rules aren't really going to be rules. (there is of course a much more linguistically accurate way to say this)
The "lesson" of "don't put stateless and stateful on the same VM" seems pretty off.

Stack overflow i've got mixed feelings about. I've seen it work well sometimes, with the highest quality answer being voted to the top. Other times, it seems the top answers are not the best or just a bunch of pointless arguing.

I tried asking a question once that I hadn't seen on there but I got downvoted and told off so meh...I just stick to searching and passively reading mostly.

I really dislike these "I did dumb things, please give me likes/up votes/virtue points" themed articles. We all know that you're not supposed to get drunk and punch your wife or crash your boss's fork lift doing donuts. When people do those sorts of things about it. Paying the stupid tax because you didn't follow common sense practices and hosed a production database, caused downtime, cost your employer money, fell for a check fraud scheme, got your bike stolen, etc, etc, is not some badge of honor.

Offering consumer-controlled latency prioritization doesn't violate net neutrality. Giving that control exclusively to the ISP, or to third parties who pay the ISP, does.
I'm not sure the article said...is it known how long he was dead for before the body was discovered? After enough time has passed, it becomes impossible to reliably determine whether certain factors played a role in the death. Underlying health issues and infection can be hidden by decomposition.
That opens one hell of a can of worms though. Sure weighting by EC sounds reasonable, but frankly you'd really want to have it such that it looks mostly blue when the blue party wins and mostly red when the red party wins, which is nigh impossible because that's an incredibly nonlinear process.

Much better to optimize to make it look mostly red/blue when the red/blue party wins the popular vote, as that's actually a linear process.
Programming on the go. Ruby, Python, Rust, Go, Nim, and many other programming languages are available for it. As are editors like Emacs and Vim.

Wondering how the anti-globalist populace feels about this.
It wasn't in taxes or tax breaks, but the ISPs were given exemption to regulation on prices in exchange for deploying a fiber network they never deployed. This basically happened twice, which is why I talk about 400 billion when the link you gave only talks about the first 200.

https://www.natoa.org/events/BrokenPromisesGarcia.pdf

BTW the logic in your link doesn't make sense. The $200 billion number is "based on taking what ISP profits would have been had they been regulated as a utility", yes, but the only reason we didn't regulate them as a utility is they promised us the fiber networks!
I never argued that English only uses one register. I argued that you can't point to English having two registers by pointing out a usage of a single register and a non-existent example in another register.

e.g. "There are two ways for offense to score in American football. One is a touchdown. Translating a touchdown into soccer is equivalent of saying the ball is kicked past the goal line, but when you literally reconvert that back to American football, you can't score by kicking the ball across the goal line.". That does not prove that there are two ways to score in football. That proves that there is at least one way to score in football.

I don't have a problem chipping in to cover those who can't afford it.

I DO have a problem with paying at least 50% more than the next highest spending countries like Switzerland or Norway - all with excellent healthcare systems - probably better than the US (except for the very high-end)
That is a good question. It is possible to avoid deadlocks in a single threaded executor with higher priority interrupts but I’m no authority in this area. Maybe someone else can comment. Most of my understanding in this area comes from reading this article: https://os.phil-opp.com/async-await/
Well at the same time due to the way the industry works in the first place. Netflix was fundamentally going to die. Mainly due to how licensing fees work. Doing this alleviates that pressure in a way that cable never could.
> Are you suggesting that physically going to a Walmart and walking down the aisle to view all the toilet paper options is more "practical" than typing walmart.com, searching for toilet paper, and scrolling through the options?

No.

I am saying that once you are at Walmart, staring at the the end cap toilet paper, it is more practical to just walk down the aisle scanning the rest of the toilet paper available, than it it is to go through the many pages of results on either walmart.com or amazon.

Scenario 1: You're in the middle of your data center.
Internal tools/tests say that $service is running correctly, but external customers says it isn't working, and firewall won't let you use an external IP without having to run 3 floors away on the other side of the building.

Quicker then waiting for a co-worker to get back to you on Slack.

Scenario 2: You are setting up a new VPN server and want to confirm that your outgoing connections are being routed through the correct IPs/Gateways.

Solution 2: Open termux and run tracert and see where you are being routed.

Perhaps I did not express myself in the best way possible, but I was trying to summarise the following two points at once:

I do think that comparing emergency pandemic responce with Soviet Union as a whole is very poor taste and logically flawed.

I also wanted to point out that a lot of things happened in Soviet Union, including race mixing, so perhaps one should be careful when drawing conclusions.
We used to do this stuff on text MUDs. People would make triggers to do certain things based upon text the MUD sent them. But a lot of people failed to properly "anchor" their triggers (you anchored them with '^' like in the regex world).

So you would send people a message with a series of commands to try to exploit commonly used triggers in order to make people give you all their items.

> Inflation literally is money printing. Price increases is not inflation. Price increases can be caused by inflation. Prices can remain nominally the same while money supply has increased.

Well, in today's world it is. Yes, not according to your 'old-school' definition of it. But if anyone says "inflation" today - it means price increases. Nothing more, nothing less.

> The prices while having not risen nominally are still artificially inflated.
Care to explain?

> It is just the economy. If you are referring to a recession, printing money during a recession arguably may not cause prices to rise nominally, but it artificially inflates them.

Yes, I meant a recession. Please, once again, elaborate what you mean by "artificially inflated prices"?

> During a recession prices typically go down due to falling demand. This is a good thing. It allows people who are suffering to enjoy lower prices.

Ehh, ok. So what happens to those people when companies start making less money?

> Recessions are a healing process for a previous period of misallocation of resources.

Care to explain how resources are "misallocated"?

> Money printing only serves to exacerbate and extend the misallocation.

Lol, no it doesn't. Sounds like a neoclassical fairytale.
In a recession, you are arguing that one shouldn't print money, because it only "extends misallocation".
Please explain me a proper allocation and a misallocation.
Makes no sense. Newly printed money would add demand - as it should. It would create jobs and have nothing to do with "misallocation", That "misallocation" sounds like a conservative argument. No one can explain or prove it, or even make sense of it, but if you keep repeating it, then people will believe it.

> We left the gold standard because we were afraid to deal with the recession from the spending of '60s
No, America left it because it was a shit system. Capitalism is inherently monetary. Having a currency pegged hinders growth and only serves to avoid inflation for the rich. Rentier capitalism doesn't like inflation.
