I didn't realize that git support (changed files/diffs) was built-in. I'll have to research that.
This is maybe one of the few use cases where a cryptocurrency can help; in a similar vein to the effectiveness of BitTorrent.

Specifically, Filecoin (built by the IPFS folks) could be used as a datastore for git. You can send DMCAs to pseudonymous Filecoin operators all you want; but the content will still be up if one operator keeps hosting it.

Hopefully it will also encourage all commits and repositories to be PGP signed (and not through a centralized FVEY platform), strengthening security, authenticity, and trust.
267,000 IU after exposing mushrooms to 14 hours of UVB?

Holy cow.
I know nothing about this car but my intuition is to try to avoid consistently operating something at the extreme end of its capabilities.
How much vitamin D is in a mushroom is going to depend more on how they are grown and stored then on the particular species afaik (in particular how much uv radiation it is exposed to).

I believe also that there will be more vitamin D in mushrooms that are irradiated to give them a longer shelf life. I don't think usa is a country where that practise is common, but i believe it is common in some other countries.
Why not? We bought our first leaf, a 2011 model, for $4,900 last year.

the range is down "2 bars", so it's legit only a ~70 mile car, but it absorbed a ton of our city trips and did great.

Then Oregon passed a $2,500 incentive on used cars, so we sold it for $7,500 and moved up to an i3.

Our local EV used car dealer, Platt Auto in Portland, has a few 2016+ leafs for $8900, so I bet his two older ones listed at $Call could be had sub-8K.
I forget who said it and I won't even get the quote exactly right, but I'm reminded of something I once heard:

Are you really going to trust the battery on a 7-10 year old model?
ok so no one has yet to comment this: another problem with assuming nuclear war kills everyone is that a nuclear warhead becomes a permanent get out of jail free card.

Everyone knows about few Russian invasions, Chinese Uighur genocide or Nagorno-Karabakh war and total inaction against these observed in various international communities, especially between nuclear capable nations. Incidents of this scale were enough in the past to start a World War or at least years long regional conflicts.

While a global (thermonuclear) war not occurring is good, genocides and invasions are generally not; I fear the fear of former is causing latter never to be held accountable.

> Was there a reason CISA needed to release a statement? I haven't seen anything controversial in the news.

Perhaps not if you read reputable outlets but if you take a look on Facebook, Twitter (including the President’s account) and YouTube you’ll find a frenzy of conspiracy theories about voter fraud. None of it with any real evidence attached, but it’s spreading like wildfire in many social circles.

Of course, this statement won’t really do anything. If you were the “Deep State” rigging an election this is exactly what you’d order CISA to say!

James Burke went into this in The Trigger Effect[0] back in the late 1970s. It's an incredible film, if only for the timing on the last in-person voice shot [1].

The amount of lucky breaks you must have to survive even a non-nuclear civilizational collapse event are astounding. Even if you make it out to a remote corner of the world, you'll need a farm with some supplies and no one still sulking about.

The really hard part is starkly obvious though: You need an ox and you need to know how to plow. Without those two things, you're basically kaput, again.

I, for one, have no idea how to plow.

Oh, and the ox eats too.

I've always liked the idea of getting companies to sign up to second staff members for a month or two to full or part time open source work. They could get a nice friendly looking "open source supporter" badge for it, like the Fair Tax Mark. It'd take a small organisation being clever to do it but I think it'd work and free up lots and lots of hours of work to be done on valuable stuff.

OK, well I guess we agree, but your post certainly didn't read as though you agreed with the court's decision.

It would be helpful if the press didn't show so much favoritism in its treatment of politicians. Everyone in a position of power should have their actions viewed critically and subject to regular scrutiny regardless of their party affiliation.

I tried Arch Linux in a dual boot scenario on this System76 laptop and I don't recall why I switched back... I think it's because I tried to upgrade the graphics driver and got into state where I couldn't get X to run at all.

Best of luck moving forward.
The solution to sexism isn't sexism. There's a bizarre belief in some darker corners of feminism that if a group is disadvantaged, you want to address that by advantaging them in other ways, rather than by pushing for equality. There are times for that, but that's the exception, not the rule.

1) It perpetuates or changes the problem, but it doesn't fix it. It's not too dissimilar from gender relations in Islam or Mormonism, where you try to compensate from giving men power by placing women on a pedestal, and giving them protections. It's not effective.

2) It makes a lot of potential allies into enemies too. I'm pretty convinced Trump beat Clinton because of divorced dads, and some particularly sexist comments she made. Divorced dads make up a big portion of the electorate, are a disadvantaged population, and have private support groups. They hated Trumps sexism and racism, but hated Clinton's sexism too, and won't vote against their own interests. I'll mention many of those same dads supported Warren in the primary, who is a far more effective feminist than Clinton (actually, a far more effective everything), in part because she's a feminist and NOT a sexist, where Clinton was a sexist but not much of a feminist.

I can see the case for things like affirmative action, where there is no other solution, but in this case, the point could have been made just as well, if not better, if the articles didn't talk about husbands and wives but used neutral language. If you make it gendered, you get into a gender/race/ethnicity war. If you make it neutral, everyone gets behind you, but the same change comes out the other end.

Actually, usually a better change, since it treats people as equal individuals, and removes a systemic barrier that disproportionately impacts some, rather than as stereotypes.

Footnotes:

* Many state laws are named in gendered terms as well. VAWA in abstract applies to both genders, but doesn't in practice. It perpetuates the stereotype that violence against men is uncommon. It turns out that physical abuse is similar in both directions. There's a perception that it's a 99/1 split, but it's more like a 60/40 split. Women are somewhat more likely to be seriously injured, due to size/strength differences, but even that's not as extreme as made out. A knife, bat, or frying pan overcomes a lot of those differences. In most cases (in both directions) the partner doesn't fight back. The studies to look at are broad surveys (researcher calls thousands of people, and asks structured questions).

* There are studies on police response too. In the best study I saw, literally zero domestic violence calls placed by men led to resolution, and in 12% of cases, the male victim was arrested themselves. Women didn't have a perfect success rate, but it was far better.
> The last stable release of Cairo was in October 2018

Looking at the release history, as far as I can tell, every release since 2013 was rolled by Bryce Harrington, who at the time was employed with Samsung Open Source Group. Samsung shut the group down in... October 2018 [1].

Denuvo has been fairly successful despite what the pirates say. Several extremely popular games have gone many months with no crack. DRM isn't completely pointless, but it does require securing everything for it to work. Denuvo would be pointless if it weren't for the various secure virtualization features which are built into the CPU itself.

Not true (source: I recently did a bunch of car buying research and a used Leaf was my number 2 choice; ended up not getting it).

These are electric drivetrains (simpler transmission, etc.) so there are fewer things that can go wrong relative to an ICE car. Obv range is limited with a used Leaf but that's not a problem for most city trips.

We're talking about the ads in apps here?

It's hilarious: most of the journalism I'm finding via DDG search is anti-Apple from the advertisers perspective. All these bloggers and Forbes writers decrying the fact that Apple keep making it harder for third parties to exfiltrate user data. Outraged that Apple would use this data internally making the marketplace non-competitive to both "tiny ad networks" and "Apple's corporate rivals" alike.

This is bogus. It seriously strangles the capabilities of the rival giants to get hold of that trove of data, but the small ad networks, representing businesses with whom Apple has a formal supplier relationship (the Apple Developer Program) and no direct competition are really no worse off.

Shock and awe.

The big change that caused this flurry of self-serving smear? Making 3rd party advertising opt-in. Forgive me if don't swoon with relief that they are now holding off on this user-empowering, privacy focussed change until next year: "to give advertisers and publisher more time to prepare" and come up with ways to subvert the new order.

Throughout this whole discussion users are talking about "ecosystems" and buying in to one or the other, and the effort of changing. The original issue in this thread was serious, reasonably short-lived, and an infrequent screw up (though that frequency is increasing if you ask me). The issue of Apple's ads is moot. They protect their right to be custodians of the user data they hold (or own, I'm still kind of unclear on that) and they continue to shore up the fences that keep the wolves at bay.

Point me to another major hardware/software/data vendor who shares those values.
It’s interesting that girls start at the top and get rejected down to their compromise level. Men start at the bottom and rise up to catch the falling girls. I am not sure either is better off or worse. Also you can look at other things... rank people on ability to cook, sing, solve puzzles, money, humor, cleanliness, optimism, generosity. Also even if you are hung up on number of or looks of mates, you can lower your standards, pay for it...

Best is to find your own self esteem. Whoever gets your company and attention is lucky, because you chose to give it to them and no one else...

It’s just you in the Boltzmann brain... no one else means anything. Also the universe is big, really big. And the block universe is here all at once. You can’t really change anything... we don’t know anything. What were we talking about again ?

Elephant in the room: most of the "privilege" you are talking about is literally parents giving a damn and pouring endless time and energy into teaching stuff to their kids and trying to engrave delayed gratification into their personality.

But instead of rewarding and praising this behavior, and trying to make it a role model for the struggling minorities, we try to punish and discourage the kids that have learned the skills with their parents' help, so they won't succeed in life either.

Of course, this doesn't affect the "admission by donation" kind of families, that leaves me wonder: is it about helping minorities succeed, or is it about replacing arrogant self-reliant challengers with grateful and loyal underperformers, to further entrench the elites' position?

Well, luckily when you ban the sale of new things, it doesn't instantly take off the planet every used version of that thing.

> asynchronous

All multiplayer is asynchronous you donut. Asynchronous game rules have nothing to do with asynchronous networking.

> async/sync hybrid

No such thing. There is no "trust" in multiplayer. If you write a peer to peer game, you're open to cheating.

> multiplayer idle games

What?

> hybrid deterministic with trusted peer to peer

Pulling stuff out of your behind.

At the end of the day, entities, objects, actors, whatever you want to call them, have networked fields and they're serialized and transmitted. Game rules state is networked. Developers choose what they want to network. The engine determines what is sent and what is not.

This lattermost piece is where things can get complicated based on whether or not information needs to be sent, shouldn't be sent, is sent by visibility or audibility, is sent by quad tree node, etc.

But there's no different architecture for it. That's plainly stupid. There's nothing about these made up designs you're talking about that stops the need for entities to have watched fields that get serialized and transmitted based on transmission rules.
Didn't downvote, but I think you overestimate anyone if you think they'll go to court for you against an org as big as the RIAA or Google (unless perhaps if it's the EFF).
Those effects won't cause extinction though because they'll diminish as the population shrinks so it'll reach some equilibrium. This is about extinction, not just lots of people dying. Nuclear winter wouldn't get less harmful the fewer people are around.
There are two major somewhat misleading bits of buzz around macOS “phoning home” all of our executables.

1: among Windows, macOS and Linux only Linux distros don’t do such checks, and most of end-user Linux installations are arguably secure in spite of this—mostly because they are very rare and thus not a priority target for malware.

2: this only concerns files you launch. If you wrap your binary invocation in a shell script, that shell script’s hash will be sent, not your binary’s.
Sorry, but I still don't understand your point. How am I priviliged if people from a foreign country colonized another part of the world? I and my ancestors didn't have anything to do with this. Our country was, in fact, "colonized" for more than a hundred years too.

All the minority groups you just mentioned are also Caucasian, so they are priviliged, but at the same time they... are not? In your original post you made a racial claim that just didn't make much sense to me at all, same as all race-related stereotypes that try to somehow classify groups of billions.

> (at least you source does not say it was) 10,000 ballots

It does. Quoting:

"The U.S. Supreme Court could also still potentially invalidate Pennsylvania’s extended mail-in voting deadline, which allowed mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be accepted as long as they were delivered by Friday, Nov. 6. That ruling would only affect approximately 10,000 ballots, elections officials have said—which are being segregated and are not included in the current vote count—and thus invalidating them would not affect Biden’s win in Pennsylvania."

The idea being that it doesn't have anything to do with who won or lost. It is more to do with the fact that the ballots are being contested in the Courts when it should have been the electoral system actually ensuring integrity. Court should be the last resort. I give my reasons in the answer above.

And everyone you iMessage with? Both parties to the conversation have the plaintext and a key that will decrypt the whole conversation.

Unless you are 100% certain that everyone you iMessage with has also done this, your conversations are still not reliably private.

Even then, Apple can silently inject additional escrowed wiretap keys into the keylist for one or both participants, although this is an active attack and can be detected by monitoring changes to the keylist for a given phone number or Apple ID provided by Apple's iMessage APIs.
What I find amazing is one way or another, over the next 50 years, all the gas stations you see now are going to be gone or transformed, but mostly gone.
