You're right, it does happen, but not frequently respectively on a large scale.

For example:

1- it does happen that sometimes some illegal trash bags are found in the woods (most of the time it's still in trash bags and not spread everywhere as they usually don't contain animal/vegetable stuff, as that would anyway be free to be disposed of, therefore animals don't sniff it therefore they don't mess it up), but then they're reported to the police/municipality by whoever discovered them and are then collected.

2- same thing in urban areas: sometimes (very rarely as much as I know and have experienced) some "illegal" trash bags show up in your own trash-container, then usually you have to talk to the trash collector and they'll still pick it up.

But:

- about case #2, as mentioned in Wikipedia, the analysis of what's contained in the illegal trash does happen for real (kind of "CSI: Trash"), so if I would put into it something which shows my name (e.g. old newspaper) then I would be screwed (probably not the first time, but I would be by the 2nd or 3rd time that the same thing happens). Even if I would do everything perfectly then after at least the 2nd time all neighbours would all try to find the perpetrator => high risk.

- about case #1 and in general, the country is small and has a relatively high density in the habitable areas (e.g. not in the mountains) => many eyes around, so if you keep doing that twice or three times you are likely to be noticed by somebody, who will report that to the police or at least the municipality - same thing about rural areas (fewer eyes but as well fewer visitors, therefore likeliness of being observed doing something bad after repeated offense is still high). Nothing in the mountains as far a I know (too much effort driving up there to then take the risk to dump stuff while potentially being photographed from the other side of the valley by e.g. someone that was doing trekking).

I believe that we don't have problems with electronics like TVs, washing machines, HDDs, fridges, etc... because you can just dump them for free at any shop that sells them (that's the embedded-tax-thing I mentioned above), so it would be a waste of time & effort plus a lot of risk to dump them into the woods instead of doing the same thing comfortably and officially at any such shop (I admit that some shops get more old stuff than others due to their location and parking space, but nothing is perfect).

In bigger countries that have more open/free space, illegal dumping would most probably be a much bigger problem. But on one hand people that do repeated illegal dumping could still be caught, and on the other hand the target is never 100% - already having something like 75% of the population sticking to the waste disposal rules (recycling being a subset) is probably a huge improvement vs. doing nothing :)
Nice try, Donald!
Thank you for the link.

I've realized that I have a hunger for liberals that I can actually talk with. I like seeing new perspectives and sometimes learning things. Although these two articles are critical of other liberals, he still portrays a lot of liberal positions that are actually interesting when they're not framed with some variety of "conservatives are fascists bent on installing a dictator".

I saw a book recently that was something like a Marxist Feminist interpretation of history, and I actually was pretty interested in reading it even though I might not agree with any of it. (I had already picked out five books, so I didn't buy it). I can read those academic-style books because they are more focused on theory and less on hatred of me. But I had to cancel my Time subscription because after a certain point I couldn't hear any more attacks on my demographics. Every single issue there would be something about how Texans are racist or similar. Usually at least one hateful attack, but often multiple.

The point is that there are definitely people like me who don't want to consume solely conservative material but are practically forced to due to the unending Two Minutes Hate-style propaganda in mainstream institutions. The conservative material shows bias, but at least it doesn't have hatred woven into every sentence.
Awesome! If you would be so kind, please leave a review when you finish reading through it.

A joke in poor taste, yes.

However, his social media posts before traveling to DC were enough to strip him of any dignity he may have had.
PICARD: I, er, I don't know where to begin. It was...

TROI: I read your report.

PICARD: What I didn't put in the report was that at the end he gave me a choice between a life of comfort or more torture. All I had to do was to say that I could see five lights, when in fact, there were only four.

TROI: You didn't say it?

PICARD: No, no, but I was going to. I would have told him anything. Anything at all. But more than that, I believed that I could see five lights.
I mean, isn't that the fault of the Republican party that they can only maintain control by gerrymandering, having millions of American citizens without representation, supporting anti-democratic institutions, and voter suppression?

If the idea of having more voter participation is antithetical to your political party, perhaps it is time to change your party.
Then why wasn't all this evidence shown to the courts. Guliani even said in a court that this not a fraud case, that is what the Trump admin does they lie to people on TV but since they cannot lie in courts they lost the cases.

Even Trump appointed Supreme court judges rejected these cases.

> Although parlor was only used for hate

> Right. I used parler to do such things as <hate>. I stopped using Twitter for <hate> because I figured that ... it was only a matter of time before they were banned (for <hate>)

I know you don't think it's hate. I know you think trans rights are a subjective ethical issue.

But what if you're wrong? What if it's an objectively human rights issue? Like sexuality, and race?

I know there is still an ongoing "cultural war" about these subjects in the more conservative western nations like the US and the UK. But on every socially progressive position, for the last few decades, countries like The Netherlands, Sweden, and Canada, lead the way, and the US/UK eventually follows.

So my question is genuine - do you genuinely believe that you will come out ahead on this issue on a historical timeline? That the trans discussion will be nothing but a passing fad?
youre asking this question on the same medium by which you can access torrents and nearly any journal article for free on platforms that have repeatedly evaded authority’s attempts to shut them down entirely. if the right wing wants to self-host, they’re able to. the “oh facebook, the platform my grandma uses to keep up with her knitting tutorials and oprah’s book club recommendations, kicked me off” is such an anti-hacker attitude, in my view. the people who built AWS were not able to upstream all their issues to some other platform. the people building the open web in the 90s and early aughts didnt need to spin up docker images on someone else’s hardware. there is a ton of money for this, if the mass of users want it then the market should be able to provide it, i believe

Thanks for the numbers. Good to see some evidence my hunch was right - I'd say 43% of the sample is "many".

YouGov speculates in their presentation of the data they gathered that perhaps more Republicans approved because they saw the actions as basically peaceful:

https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/20...

That belief strikes me as crazy, but if they genuinely didn't think there was violence going on, hard to read it as being okay with violence.
Does anyone remember a day when we weren't bombarded by constant insanity? I fucking can't!
That's exactly the argument for GDPR is. If an American megacorp doesn't want to respect the rights of non Americans then it shouldn't be allowed to profit at all from them. You can't just ban some and profit from the rest.
What she actually says is that what you should be able to say should be defined by law and not dictated by private companies. So it's more like if the government doesn't like what you say.
Yeah, that was just an example.

And to be fair, with regards to the standard model, we know the standard model is not fully correct and we still don't have anything better.
And perhaps unsurprising that it's in an area of the country that is a literal hotbed for white supremacy.
Curious about some of the would be logistics here.

This would’ve just been for web browsers pointing directly to facebook’s website, right?

Not necessarily other Facebook-owned companies?

What about Facebook ads/tracking on the pages of Facebook customers?
Not op - but please provide an explanation that counters the argument, then. Seriously, I would really like to understand how to come to terms with two world views that appear to be diametrically opposed within the same movement.

Oh nice, their contract locks you in too. I suspect they will be in court soon to stop this policy
That doesn't seem right to me, by your logic all companies built on an ISP are a utility then, which I'm sure you can see the absurdness of.
Rights and democracy are in conflict.

In a real democracy, the majority could decide to lock you up simply because they didn't like you.

In a rights-driven system, everything is ultimately decided by the courts, which are run by elites.

Confusingly, Bill-of-Rights "Freedom is Speech" is really a right rather than a freedom. You can brazenly violate the live-and-let-live principle and still be safe.

Do we actually need to guarantee universal Freedom of Speech to have a democracy?

My view, no. If anything the Bill of Rights is the source of the rift that is pulling US democracy apart. Through the bill of rights, the judiciary became an unelected and unwieldy legislative body. US politics has been distilled into a vicious contest about who gets to make Supreme Court appointments. No other country has this dynamic.
> You’d have to pull the plug on _everything_ to shut it down.

Right. Individual countries have shut off their internet. Why not the world?
First, just know that I support most of what you're saying in your initial comment on this thread.

In response to:

"Could you link me to politicians that supported violent rioters?"

You provided two links. This is the tweet:

"The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable.

Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.

To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that’s the point."

As others have noted, there's nothing there about violence or riots.

However, the more important point is comparing what AOC and others have said with what Trump said at the rally on Tuesday:

"Now it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we're going to walk down and I'll be there with you. We're going to walk down--

We're going to walk down. Anyone you want, but I think right here, we're going to walk down to the Capitol--

And we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.

Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong.

We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated. Lawfully slated.

I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."

He said a lot more, but I don't see anything there about riots or violence.

BUT THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE. Trump and his enablers have been carefully and meticulously lying about this the election.

I'm not saying AOC and other progressive leaders haven't lied about stuff. I have little doubt that they have.

But there's a fundamental difference in the magnitude and implication here.

While Trump no doubt choose his language very carefully to not cross a particular, bright line, the net effect of everything he and his enablers have done have crossed that bright line.
Uh, yes? The yellow vest protests: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/24/french-gilets-...

Some of the BLM counter-protests in the UK also became rather heated: https://www.politico.eu/article/johnson-condemns-racist-thug...

Of course the Belgium bombing was a political attack: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/27/world/europe/iran-disside...

Are you suggesting only the US has political violence?
The term “right” comes from the delegates seating in the French National Assembly during the revolution. Both the Left (Jacobins) and the Right (Girondists) voted together to behead the King and dispense with all noble priveledges and titles.

Citing censorship, downstream carriers remove peering/transit arrangements from ISP.
> Physics isn't special in this regard, though.

Yep. I immediately started thinking about how this “real”/“not real” dichotomy applies to programming. We write programs that confidently declare not only that they’re defining facts for the purpose of the computation, but transferring them and interoperating with other such stated facts. But they’re all abstractions, they’re all convenient fictions we use to describe, model and hopefully send electricity through minerals to achieve the result we defined.

Even stepping a bit away from the physics involved, just considering the humans who do lithography and are closest to reality, their mental model and work is still an approximation of that reality that’s effective at their level of abstraction.

And this doesn’t just apply to human-mechanics interaction. It’s something my messed up brain thinks about with human-human interactions all the time. We have mental models of how the electrical impulses travel through our fellow animated bags of meat, but they’re not just approximations they’re often very flawed. But we still interact and we hopefully don’t become overly obsessed with the underlying details we don’t and probably can’t fully grasp.
Agree, that would be the best scenario.

The worse one would be that they actually can block sites and access to the internet is forever changed, now at the will of the ISPs. (fortunately, this would be more plausible under a Republican government, and they're leaving.)
It’s funny how that never gets answered...

I really am befuddled at the inability of people to be taken in by bad faith arguments like this.
speaking for myself, i’m not dumb and don’t think it’s illegal for them to stop free speech.

but i think we are allowed to be upset and criticize it or call for boycotts and condemn them. that’s our free speech.

just like if twitter banned any support of lgbt rights i’m sure the left would cry and not just dismiss it as “corporations aren’t held to the first amendment”

imo free speech is a human right and corporations shouldn’t oppress it even if they legally can. just like they shouldn’t discriminate even if they legally could
I think Aaron would have been proud to see the rise of Sci-Hub today. I am disappointed that we haven't learned from our mistakes, and that the powers that be are attacking Sci-Hub with as much, or even more, vigor and evil.
That does seem to be the issue!

The other image formats are colour-managed, so they look relatively desaturated on my WCG monitor. The AVIF images look "stretched" to the full gamut, making them garishly oversaturated.
These days you have to create 'financial incentives' just to get people to do the right thing... Every business is going to need crypto. You need to bribe people into doing the right thing to prevent them from being bribed into doing the wrong thing.

It's going to be cheaper to bribe people into doing the right thing than to bribe them into doing the wrong thing... We just have to let good people know that bribing is OK so that bad people don't have a monopoly over it... As is the case today.
The Mikrotik CRS will work as a "gateway" right? That is, run a DHCP server, connect to my cable modem, provide local DNS, etc? Thanks!
From what I understand, they also promised a bunch of features that were never implemented. Maybe they're still to come, but it sounds like they are months away from fixing all the bugs, let alone implementing better AI and other things players complained about.

I bet it would have been met with less backlash if they delayed only the PS4/Xbox S versions. Players must expect some Day 0 bugs from games this large.
No, their initial email is clear that they will be blocking the sites for all customers unless the customer asks it to be unblocked.
The idea is futile. However, the Tor network and onion browser provide the means.

The futility is that the US citizens behind the server can be located and prosecuted. Child photo sites on Tor have been taken down by the US FBI.

In principle, a democracy provides the means for sanctioned free speech to effect needed change. There is no need for a distributed Parler, unless you are an anarchist or criminal.
Scheduling fixed pauses between runs is often better (for jobs where fixed frequency is not critical, which is most of backround jobs) because you then don't have to care whether it will complete within the period.

It is certainly simpler and less fragile than various solutions involving cron-like scheduler and locking (by the way implementation of cron itself is somewhat more complex than it might look like because of exactly this issue).

One thing that somewhat surprised me about typical industrial automation is that running the logic in some variation of do_work(); sleep()/yield(); loop is pretty common (typical modern PLC works that way) and nobody seems to much care about the resulting latency jitter which is from theoretical standpoint totally horrible but in practice insignificant.

I don't think a cash economy will help.
Pretty soon, maybe sooner if a cashless economy doesn't take hold, they'll use facial recognition to track who purchases what to bypass any cash transactions.
The solution has to be a strangthening (new) right not to be tracked which should be on by default.
This may then be traded away by free services (gmail, facebook, etc..) but it would be a step in the right direction.
Yeah ... I find that the containerized UniFi controller tends to crash after a few days with various Java errors. I've tried several different unifi-controller containers, although I haven't tried this particular one so I'll give it a try.
Personally, I think this principle is limited in its application. Sure, Walmart may choose not to distribute specific products but at this point an ISP is essentially a utility, much like your water and electricity providers. As there is not much in the realm of choices for ISPs and many users are locked into contracts, this seems like an abuse of the power ISPs are holding.

Thinking about it this way, what if you worked for Facebook or Twitter as WFH and they blocked these sites. What now, do you move? Get a new job? Suppose they also block VPN traffic as that is a known way around their blocking.
She isn’t setting up meetings with companies owned by the Chinese government. What is your point?
> social media's desperate attempt to appease new government to prevent strong legislation, such as being held liable for their user's content

That's an interesting hypothesis, but doesn't really stand up to scrutiny. It's the current administration that's been calling for the repeal of Section 230, which is what would make platforms liable for their user's content.
> I'd agree this ISP has the same rights

>why are people who want the government to be replaced by the "free market" allowed to be upset that private companies are silencing them

Because there's a clear government-enforced bias. Can you imagine the shitshow if they banned, let's say, black people?
Its not the most pretty thing, but has a lot of features I wanted in Unifi; Ruckus has a version of firmware you can load on their APs called Unleashed. It turns one of the APs into the controller, then you can manage all of them from there.
This is pretty bad. Hellenic philosophy merged the arguments with how to live. What has mostly survived are writings regarding the latter portion, but the former do exist. Chrysippus was the logician who first, I believe, came up with the final version of the truth table not to mention formal propositional logic.
You have a valid point, but

> so obviously that has nothing to do with it

is very much taking it too far. It's clear the voter fraud is the primary motivation he is using to incite the riots, and for many of the rioters it is their moral basis underpinning their actions.
It was partly a tongue-in-cheek dogwhistle to the physics crowd, but I do sort of feel that even the essay I cite is useless - interesting, yes. I (and I have tried) really struggle to see what the point is in learning all these philosophy terms when it usually or always ends up being unfalsifiable or a overly proud euphemism for yet another concept.

To take a specific example, I'm curious what post-structuralism actually means as applied to the structure I was trying to refer to - there are certain symmetry groups that seem to apply everywhere we look, but the actual structure is itself isn't a symbolic concept in the same way the standard model is.
The people who violently attacked the capitol building had grievances that weren't true. Watch Mitt Romney's speech to understand.
