Sorry, maybe I should have said "The (regular) Web" since that's what we are talking about.

AFAIK a lot of these not-web/"dark web"(?)–sites are available on the Internet via tools like Freenet (and Tor?)

> The question would then be if nations can find some common ground of what is unacceptable

This is just not going to happen. There are 195 countries in the world. They can't even agree on whether women have the same rights as men or whether it is legal to draw images of the Muslim prophet (So, depending on what you mean by the term, "Islamism" might just be the legal system of some countries, as 35 of them apply more or less the Sharia).

Or another example : the USA is supposed to be a single country, yet in some of its states sex between full blown adults and teenagers of a certain age is legal, while in others a teenager becomes a sex offender by merely owning photos of him/herself naked !

(And how would you deal with potential new countries that might not agree to the previous 'common ground' ?)
I can tell you quite definitively that a tesla with the maximum range possible will still not be able to get you to and from a great deal of small cities and camp grounds in the US, especially if you live outside California.
Chatroulette seems to be using a similar method of seperation.

From the article:

It created a filtered channel, now known as Random Chat, designed to exclude nudity, alongside an Unmoderated channel.

Strangely, they intend to discontinue the unfiltered section in the near future.

The unfiltered channel remains popular, but usage is shrinking, and Ternovskiy plans to eliminate it by the middle of 2021.

My gut feeling is that will just lead to mature content creators attempting to trick the filter, and I imagine they will be successful.

They didn't "fail", they were waiting for x64 patents to expire.

Apple introducing M1 macs literally the year the relevant x64 patents expired is not a complete coincidence ;)
Then the right action would be to fight for including bcrypt in the approved algorithms list.
It made the rounds in the press years ago. Here’s a first person account for ipsec, which was one of the first hits I found when looking for information about the SSL weakening:

https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg12...

It’s describing the same tactics, but a different protocol. Honestly, just crack open the SSL spec. In hindsight, it’s pretty obvious it was intentionally over-complicated.

The Wireguard protocol attempts to fix these issues by hardcoding everything behind a protocol version number. It’s vastly easier to implement and configure properly.
I don't think the problem you're complaining about exists.

Eugenics have fallen out of fashion many decades ago, and most countries have laws to protect people with unusual medical conditions/disabilities - typically, the more developed they are (i.e. the more resources they're able to spend), the better the protections.
We shouldn't forget that Bezos himself was the one who got blackmailed very recently. It wasn't a tech company that did it, but it was a right-wing media outlet with an axe to grind.

I feel it makes perfect sense to compensate, as the company now has a clear financial disincentive to allow faulty aircraft to be in service.

Regardless of dancing around the semantics of cancellation, a severe problem was discovered in an aircraft forcing it to reland and delaying all passengers involved. If such an event is sufficiently costly for the airline then safety and maintenance measures will have to be increased.
Part of the point of running WireGuard is never having to expose IPSEC code to your adversaries, so I don't really see the appeal of something that sets up both WireGuard and a bunch of IKE stuff.
I'm surprised nobody does a product that's an EV lease plus some prepaid credit every month for a rental service, so for the one day a month you need a conventional petrol car, it's already budgeted for.

Hell, you could generalize it to small petrol cars too. I suspect most of us "overbuy" larger and more capable vehicles for the one day a month we need something bigger than a Mirage.
Ah, yes, because I really want every site I visit on my phone to prompt me to enable notifications, just like my laptop.
Git will fallback to `git-$command` for any unknown command. That tool works by installing an executable at `git-open`. It works "magically" with npx because npx is installing it for you.
I'm surprised the article doesn't mention Dr. Gabor Mate at all.

His work fully outlines how depression & stress can be a coping mechanism when we're not able to express needs or emotions.

I highly recommend everyone to read and apply his approach to managing stress and psychological wellbeing.

I highly disagree: humanity has co-evolved with animals and living together with them has always been normal. Reducing it to some "selfish need" is a cynical generalization. Denying pets will not improve the lives of these creatures, it will close their niche and pave the way for the extinction of their species. After millennia of living with them, that would be the ultimate betrayal of our most loyal friends and allies. We can already see that with horses: they are no longer useful and their numbers are dropping fast.
Sixel is really useful, but it is not optimal in terms of color quantization and fast rendering (it is quite a pain to write a color sixel image). The world needs a hero that submits simultaneously a patch to xterm, iterm and all widely used terminals to accept decent in-band color images--using verbatim framebuffers with a tiny header.
It makes sense that moving from status quo requires more than simple majority, and it is quite common that democracies use this technique for big, fundamental changes (such as constitutional changes), where it pays to err on the side of caution (and thus, status quo).
If you talk to any security expert they will tell you just how much harder being blue team is than red. The situation really is one sided. Everything is hackable especially given essentially unlimited resources and the blessing of a government.

The United States doesn’t seem to be playing victim to me. It’s just that the hacks are publicized. Sure, we are offensive as well, just as every first world country is. But we’re also a big target without much enforced secrecy (comparatively.)

The concepts proposed by the NYT have some pretty bad implications. A national cyberdefense where all the traffic is being examined? Do they really see nothing wrong with that? Not that I really think it would work, anyways.

People in security and “cyber” positions know and acknowledge everything the NYT is calling on them to. The fact that politicians sit on TV and play the blame game really isn’t indicative of the playing field. It’s pretty much their job to make the optics look good, not represent the truth.

I wasn’t referring to the cryptosuite weakening. I was referring to unnecessary complexity in the SSL protocol itself, such as the whole certificate chain parsing mess, the countless opportunities to implement things vulnerable to downgrade attacks, and the overly-broad attack surface of the whole thing.
Actually the installed code may have less permissions and may execute in a different context. For example, an npm js library for a photo gallery may only ever run in the context of the browser. Of course some libraries for server code / build code may run in node js which ostensibly allows for ACE. But the surface area is smaller with this.
> For the laptops intended for more serious work you want a CPU with 15 W to 60 W TDP,

I'm disappointed that blogs and podcasts keep promoting Linode. I currently maintain about 30 Linodes and I have been doing so for the past 2 years.

Some things I noticed:

* The internal network is not private. But people don't realise it. You share a /16 with other Linodes. So many open databases, file shares and other services in there.

* Block storage performance is really poor, around 100 iops. Same as a SATA disk from 10 years ago.

* No proper snapshot / image functionality.

* Linode Kubeternetes Engine was based on Debian Oldstable when it launched.

* Excessive CPU steal, even on dedicated cores. 25% CPU steal is considered normal. Over 50% happens a lot.

* Problems with their hosts. I can only guess what the reason is but 4 to 8 hours of unannounced downtime of a VM happend to me 6 times in the past 2 years.

Yes, support is friendly. But my international phone bill is huge because the fastest way to get them to do something is to call.

GPT-3 doesn't work.

GPT evolved down the wrong direction.

GPT realised just by getting entropy on what it says as low as possible it's hard for some people to see it's not actually doing anything. (It is amazing at writing low/zero entroy stuff however)

That's why is not public.

But sure.... it's because of inequality. Everyone wants in on the pyramid scheme too. I'd just give it to them. They won't see the issues anyway.

> EVs are great if you own a house with a driveway and get to charge overnight.

I think denser cities will eventually have battery-swapping stations, where you just get a new battery whenever you're running low. They then fast-charge your depleted battery and give it to a new customer later.

The big obstacles are compatibility and preventing people from abusing the system to get batteries in better condition for free, but I think countries with more central planning (like China) could force those issues.
It's sort of interesting that for having the same goal of reining in tech giants' power, China uses the language of Marxism while the US uses language like the rule of law, market competition, etc.

The best non-smart TV technology is probably a decent 4K consumer projector. They cost between 2000 to 3000 dollars. While there are some trade offs (consumer 4k projectors aren't real 4k but rather display 4 1080p images... it's weird), but I haven't run into any of them that come with 'smart' features. The other trade off is that projectors are designed to be for >=100" setups so it's only available as a premium product.

Personally, the introduction of micro LED TVs in the next few years may make 100" TVs an affordable reality so I am a bit bearish on jumping into consumer projector market if you haven't already.

Best bit is to just not connect the TV to the internet. I have not come across a model that requires an internet connection to work.
Defaulting to keeping your cat indoors is cruel. Instead put out some bird feeders.

Cats love the outdoors. It's evil to take that away from them. Not all cats even kill birds.
In the mid 90s we paid more for a smaller tv. Big screen TVs used to be something really special that impressed visitors. You just proved how tv manufacturers are catering to what the customers actually want.
This is deeply concerning, as I see a future where Apple has a monopoly on personal computing devices. It's not unfeasible that Apple's custom chips will surpass Nvidia in GPU performance as well in a few years.
Also, it's "head-up display".
Depression may also prevent suicide because you lack the drive to take those steps. There is a pattern of people committing suicide a few weeks after starting on an anti-depressant (including one of my cousins and a late friend of mine), so much that it is listed as a side effect. I don't know if there is a double-blind study showing that the anti-depressant use is causal (and such a study is probably unethical), and depressed people are already more suicidal, so take my reasoning as a hypothesis and not a statement of fact.

But it also makes sense evolutionarily. People who suffer depression may survive periods in their life when they would otherwise commit suicide, and people who don't exit life early, meaning that depression is naturally selected.
I don't think people who have escaped environments see them as gone. I think most modern maladaptation is people worrying about the life of younger members of their family based on what they know but can't really change.

Even in the example, the father is physically escaped, but I think the patient has an unknown likelihood of repeating patterns of the verbal abuse from their childhood on the next generation and fear of doing that can lead them back to a depression response.
Its not that hard to get a nice TV and ignore the smart features on it, is it?

Just never connect it to the internet. No privacy issues either, right?
Likely the single biggest reason.

The only amount of life management systems I've ever been able to keep myself using is KeePass. Something about it, and it's syncing model, hits the right level of availability and reliability for me so it's where everything important goes.
Also, some applications have built-in filtering of allowed IP addresses and they don't take into account IPv4-mapped on IPv6 and thus rules may be bypassed without the admin knowing because they dutifully entered their filters in IPv4 only and forgot to tell it to bind to IPv4 only by default.
Are any of these TVs jail-breakable? I’m actually OK with smart tech, I just don’t like it being used against me.
Then what can you trust? Your own hardware? What about if they go bad? Make multiple copies? How many? And what are the implications of managing multiple local backups scattered everywhere on your own hardware? What are the costs involved? How many people should handle that? Who should hold the encryption key? How many keys? What happens if key is exposed and we have to regenerate?

At the end of the day every system has risks. It’s about what is acceptable. It’s engineer’s job to reduce risk. In my case I didn’t say what is right or wrong I just mentioned that increased risk is coming at regulator’s decision they should acknowledge and sign a piece of paper.

When you make decisions there are repercussions, you have to accept. That’s all.

None.

None are good at anything. Some are good at some things. All really suck at most things.

Economics of "news" are in a bad shape, been spiraling out of control for about 15 years, there's no going back to "good one stop shop for news"

Instead see what the good parts of each source is and what good it will do to you. A lot of bullshit and marketing will still reach you.

But as long as you know what you want (need to be more specific than "news") you can mentally filter out more garbage and let in more useful, creative, thought provoking content.

No, attaching yourself to popular interests as a marketing strategy isn't sacrificing gains for ethics. Nor is it “ethics” even if some instances of it use “ethical” or a synonym in the branding.

Ethics is doing right because it's right. Making an outward show of ethics where it is advantageous to make a sale (Eve if what you are selling is advice to others on where to put their money) is not ethics, it is commercial exploitation of others ethics.
Airlines do compensate this - Usually in Europe the airline will actually directly arrange the hotel / accommodation and will offer the food in terms of vouchers to spend within the airport, rather than allow passengers to spend and then claim it back.

I suspect all this happened in OPs case. If you make your own arrangements then this isn’t usually covered.
What math you need has changed over time. Today, probability and statistics are used more, while discrete math and number theory are less essential. CS used to have a lot of automata theory, and that's not important much now unless you have to write regular expression parsers.

If you do anything with graphics, you need a subset of matrix math, and there are graphics books which cover what you need. If you get into robotics, you need differential equations.
I think developed countries, but US in particular, are more vulnerable to cyber attacks than developing countries (with possible exception of China). Many of the developing countries still have manual processes and controls in place, given how unreliable electricity and internet are in those places. So a large scale cyber attack while causing severe damage, would be unlikely to bring a developing country to its knees.

I couldn't say the same of the US. Simple ransomwares have stopped entire hospital systems and cities from functioning. Imagine what a large scale attack could do.
It sounds like you are bored.

> Don't the M1 Macs come with some performant-enough emulation system (that most people didn't consider possible) that allows you to run x86 apps? I feel like this is key to avoiding the chicken-and-egg effect.

My understanding is a major contributing factor is that Apple added Intel's memory-ordering to their Arm chips, which allows Rosetta 2 to perform so well. Being Apple, they could drop this in 2-3 years if they wanted to drop Rosetta 2 support.

That's something vertical integration (and not caring so much about long-term compatibility) will get you that would be much more difficult otherwise.
We use colder then ambient heat pumps all the time - that's just air conditioning. Provided you heat your hot side to hotter then ambient, you can move heat around.

The problem with Venus is that "hotter then ambient" is already melting lead and significantly derating most other materials. We're talking an incredible amount of energy and mechanical parts (it's a heat pump) to do it.

I would be curious if there's any possible Peltier design which might be able to keep up.
The consumer had statutory rights to compensation for being delayed or an airline-arranged alternative flight but chose to make his own arrangement.

Did you click on the "To the Lab" link? I think that it would be a more informative homepage.

But to explain the product, the current homepage just needs to add "Plant-based" before "Coffee without beans? It's molecular!" above the "To the Lab" link. Otherwise you might wonder what "Coffee without beans" must be made of.
Think about this alongside the network layering models (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model).

A pi-hole operates (usually) by intercepting DNS requests and returning bogus results if the request is for a known ad host. That's an application layer activity; other requests for non-ad (or unknown ad) hosts would succeed. So a pi-hole blocks some application layer activity but not all.

MAC addresses are a link layer concept, and a router is a network layer device. Having a MAC address blocked at a router would prevent that MAC address from using the router's function, which in this context means that the device holding that MAC address (the tv) would be unable to send and receive data through the router at all; the TV would be unable to access any site on the internet, ad-related or not.

Depending on what other devices you have on your local network which you might want to use with your TV, it might be easier to just not plug the TV into the network at all.

There's an interesting alternative world in which 10 or 15 years ago, HP and other vendors committed to making sure that Linux was and is a first-class OS on every single machine they sell. That means Linux works with the touchpad, sleep works, wifi works, and so on. Every single machine has a prompt that says "Windows pre-installed only" "Windows + Linux installed" or "Linux-only."

Today a lot of Lenovo machines work well with Linux but don't ship with those options. Dell has its XPS line. Everyone else is still predominantly Windows, especially on laptops.
