In my mind, the main sides are the following:

There's the Progressive Left who point at the established Democrats and the mainstream media for tactics used to hurt progressive causes (like Bernie's nomination) [1].

There's the general Left who point at Trump for his abuses of power and propaganda [2].

There's Trump and his supporters who point to election fraud [3].

There's the general Right who point to the Democrats for schemes to pack the court [4].

I don't want to suggest that all of these claims are equally valid, but I do believe supporters of these sides all strongly believe these claims and are willing to use them as justification for bending the rules. In fact, I believe it would be foolish not to, given that is seems clear no matter who your opponent is, they will certainly bend the rules given the chance.

What I meant by "sadly" in my previous comment is I see the situation in the US in contrast to a government like New Zealand. In New Zealand opposing sides aren't focused on subverting the rules but instead sometimes work together to fuel positive outcomes for the whole country [5]. "Researchers have pored over the views of nearly 20,000 Kiwis and found, over the past decade at least, we haven't drifted toward polarised politics". [6]

Why not have the trademark office charge trademark owners right to maintain trademark fees.

It’s just unseemly. I believe the EU is looking at this situation, so I’m not alone in this view.
Great points and discussion, thanks.

One thing I still want to say — when I speak of secret servers that only use TLS, I was thinking primarily of products like Thycotic Secret Server, where deployment is left to on-prem IT staff, no E2EE exists at all, authorization uses code branching not security primitives, and where “vaults” are databases with DBMS-implemented encryption at rest. Security-wise, a hand rolled solution actually could be better if written by an experienced non-security engineer.

I’m not familiar with AWS secret server, but I assume it’s deployed such that it inherits a lot of guarantees by virtue of being part of the AWS ecosystem.

I would think the people knowledgable enough to know their browser is making requests to FB without actually visiting FB would also be knowledgable enough to block it themselves (with their hosts file, ublock, etc) and not need the ISP to do so.
More explicitly, you own the shape within a certain, limited in scope, industry (sometimes in broader industry).

Most trademarks that contain everyday words must explicitly state no ownership claim of such words, but instead claim ownership of the shape of the word (and sometimes color) within a specific context, ie. "Apple".

For most trademarks, this usually means shape of the logo is what is protected, not the word used inside the logo.

So while you could create a lawn mowing service called "Apple" without any legal issue, you cannot use the exact shape of the letters (ie, font) in the Apple logo.

> I'd be totally for splitting society into those who respect science and experts, and those who don't. I have no desire to live in your world.

What of those of us who respect science, but have less respect for experts? I strongly believe in science, and believe it to be humanity's "candle in the dark". I have little respect for individual experts who insist that their advice must be followed by all those they deem to be lesser than them, whether science is their justification or not.

Science as a process is the best tool we have. Scientists are human beings, and are just as flawed as everyone else. The contexts they operate in have also shown themselves to be highly susceptible influence by political trends. There was no end to the "science" that would show you the inferiority of minority races 100 years ago. You are not doing science a favor by steeping it in dogma and being blindly deferential, you're turning it into a religion.
They effectively do. You pay fees to register the trademark, and continue to pay fees to maintain it every 10 years thereafter.

Utopia P2P Network?
Okay so I searched before I posted, but has anyone downloaded this, used it, attempted to audit what it does. I mean, if you think about it in the context of Tor, it's logical that some new closed source thing seems super sketchy but this has red flags everywhere. I can't find anything reputable about it anywhere. The concept is promising, but I wanted to see if anyone here has done anything with it.

It makes in theory, but I think that could get really messy in practice. Trademarks aren't universal, they're for a specific domain.

So who can bid on the keyword "Apple"? Does Apple Computer get exclusivity? What about Apple Cosmetics? Apple Travel Agency? Apple Corps? Imagine telling Greg Apple of Apple Plumbing that he can't advertise using his own last name!

Even if you let everyone with a relevant trademark bid on keywords, you're still gonna have problems because so many trademarks are normal words. Should a random orchard that hasn't obtained a trademark containing the word "Apple" be able to place apple ads?
You're either completely ignorant of what historical notability is, or arguing in bad faith. Possibly both.

This particular incident is likely to lead to a record 2nd impeachment of a president. Donald Trump will account for 50% of all US presidential impeachments. That's how rare and historic they are. Are you seriously arguing no one's going to remember it in a month?
You claim it's clear, yet the majority of protestors that showed up in DC DID NOT storm the capitol.

Your point makes sense but it's not because of lack of education. Education won't change the natural distribution of intellect and education is often a form of indoctrination as well.

The problem of how to win at chess is bounded in complexity in a way that maximizing computation isn't. To provide an analogy there is a maximum speed anything can move at but it would be laughable if a medieval scholar had wondered if the falcon was near the maximum speed possible.

It seems similarly ridiculous to imagine that the human brain just happens to be close to the maximum computational power because it was what we suppose to be the most powerful instrument produced thus far on our planet.

Wouldn't it be equal parts unlikely and strange if the most effective and compact process that can be produced in any conditions just happened to be the one that random evolution happened on in a random walk through what is practical with earths organic chemistry.

Even if we imagine the incredibly unlikely idea that you can't make a more effective mind you would think you could run the same process faster than real time or more instances of it for increasingly small resources on a better computer.
Not so simple. Many manufacturers advertise a long warranty and then, when things break, drag their feet, blame improper use or wear and tear, offer workarounds instead of repairs, etc.

A long warranty is only good if the manufacturer is trustworthy. But untrustworthy manufacturers are one of the causes of the whole problem.

A fix might be warranty terms defined by law, where the manufacturer can pick the duration and nothing else. Disputes should be settled in court or by a neutral board of experts.
Extraordinary claims call for extraordinary evidence.

The CCP has been around for about a hundred years, founded in 1921. They haven’t changed their name in almost 100 years.

“Officially, the CCP is committed to communism and continues to participate in the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties each year. According to the party constitution, the CCP adheres to Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, socialism with Chinese characteristics, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping Thought. The official explanation for China's economic reforms is that the country is in the primary stage of socialism, a developmental stage similar to the capitalist mode of production. The command economy established under Mao Zedong was replaced by the socialist market economy under Deng Xiaoping, the current economic system, on the basis that "Practice is the Sole Criterion for the Truth".”

Not saying your anecdatum isn’t correct, but it’s a higher hill to climb than that. If someone described a person to me as the description above, I’d say “Gee, that’s most likely a communist.”

The Nazi party was founded in 1919 and ended, rather spectacularly, in 1945. That’s only 25 years.

So, the paper you're remembering is about conventional DH with short (typically 512 bit or 1024 bit) primes

https://weakdh.org/

The proposition is that the NSA has a large black budget, and it could plausibly have done the math to unwind DH with the most popular 1024-bit DH primes, and certainly would be able to do this for 512-bit DH.

Nobody does this in 2021. Your browser is using X25519 which is the same concept but with Elliptic curves instead of modular exponentiation of integers.

If Steam were concerned about certain TLS parameters, they could just ensure they never agree the worrying parameters. It wouldn't make any sense to instead bake some other mechanism for login and then trust TLS for everything else.

It's not just NATs that cause this. Stateful firewalls must also keep track connections to allow the responses for outbound requests that would not otherwise be allowed into the network. E.g. when you make a request to

www.example.com:443

From source port 12345, and you or your isp has a firewall that blocks everything that isn't explicitly allowed (this is common in corporate networks), the response could be allowed using firewall rules such as

iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

This has the benefit of being general, but the drawback is that the firewall now needs to track the connection, with similar consequences to the NAT example you have.

It's also more likely for the firewalls to time out connections rather than use some kind of LRU scheme. In my opinion the time-based eviction is more predictable, so I prefer it. (Of course once you run out of memory you still need to evict "live" connections)
Re (6): "which will effectively double the size of our battery store (Li batteries can be fully discharged)"

Not strictly true. You size your batteries for the rare times when you have long periods of no sun. By definition these rare occurrences shouldn't greatly impact the life of a lead acid battery. Especially flooded lead acid cells.

Conversely if you discharge your Li-ion cells 100% on a daily basis then you have no capacity for longer periods of no sun.

The "100% discharge" myth comes from grid-tied installations that are working their batteries hard each day to claim the surplus power rebate.

Re (7): "They will (correctly) limit the current to the batteries based on their current charge level, tapering off as the batteries near full".

The better regulators keep track of the state of charge (rather than just voltage), so are able to charge at the maximum safe current until the batteries are full. They don't "taper off" towards the end of charge.

It is true that most Li-iron batts can safely absorb greater current than lead-acid, but that is not the fault of the charge controller.

If not why do they need to have the lowest latency? Seems to me that if you want to provide liquidity what you need to do is buy a wide range of stocks and sit on them so they're all listed and available for trade. But you don't need extremely low latency for that. If you're providing liquidity you should be sitting on an insanely diverse portfolio at the end of every day. The whole point is to make sure trades are available so nobody is waiting for something to appear on the market.

The CEO of Chartio recently gave a talk advocating for wide tables [1], but I don't fully agree.

Having a wide table can have some performance benefits, but I think the primary benefit of dimensional modelling isn't related to performance, but having standardized definitions, or "conformed" dimensions. For example, having a "calendar" dimension with attributes you can pull into your analysis such as fiscal quarter or reporting week.

In a data model with wide tables, if you need to change the definition of a dimension, it's going to be painful to track down all the different places where that old dimension is used.
