If we fear that they might not be available in the future, yes, buy the physical copies. But if we fear that ownership of such material may be made illegal in the future, purchasing of objects is probably not the safest thing to do. A digital copy of an illegal book acquired anonymously and then hidden carefully using encryption is less likely to be discovered in the back of a closet years after you have forgotten you owned it.

If anyone here keeps a porn collection saved on a drive somewhere, or on a bookshelf, be careful. Mistakes happen. Struggling upstart actors lie about their age. Material that was purchased legally on day one can suddenly become very dangerous to possess on day two. The laws in this area are draconian. If you have any reason to believe the material dangerous, such as a website disappearing for no apparent reason, delete the material. (This is not rare. It happens regularly. Though they would never admit it publicly, nearly every large porn studio has had some sort of issue at some point.)

Of course I would never advocate for the breaking of laws. If material is deemed illegal to possess then it must be destroyed. I speak only in the hypothetical in order to better educate those in authority on how they might discover and destroy illegal works of art.

Take off your rose tinted glasses and join reality. This happened in America and not Europe because America allows these “superstar firms” to exploit the working class in order to achieve their success.

If America had proper workers rights and labor laws, suddenly these “superstars” would disappear.
Why are people "proud" of something that they had no involvement in, has no connection to etc etc? Like, were you involved with Amazon at all, other than perhaps being a shopper and maybe owning some stock?

Also, you are proud of a company that squeezes the living daylight of its workers? That treats its suppliers like crap? That is doing every trick in the book to discourage unions?

I don't think that's necessary true. When it comes to success in a given field, what's (sadly) most important most of the time is how aligned your views are with others in that field, not how aligned your view are with reality.

I think the narrative that fascism and communism are "opposite ends" of some relevant spectrum are flawed. I also disagree that historically "communist" countries are truly communist/socialist, when they often maintained they lived up to certain ideals that they didn't - where does Marx promote purges, for example? Those nations are no more left/liberal than the Nazi party is socialist.

So if I look up the specs on a pair of Bose QC-35's, I won't get internet-stalked with ads for that specific pair of headphones for the next 3 weeks whenever I pull up a weather report? But in stead I may see an uptick in general audiophile ads if I'm constantly reading articles about new gear that comes out? At least that sounds like a partial win in my book -- the first case was too creepy because it was so blatant. The second one may be worse because it is more subtle, but it creeps me out less for some reason. Kind of like how 2-3 decades ago when computer magazines were a thing, I kind of expected ads for computer parts in those magazines.

Edit:
Actually, come to think about it, I wonder how people would have felt in the 80's if they got one of several editions of a newspaper based on magazines that they also subscribed to. Households that subscribed to fitness magazines would get a newspaper with more gym membership and weightlifting gear ads, and households that received woodworking magazines would have more Craftsman ads in their newspaper. Would people appreciate the customization of the paper, or would they see it as an invasion of privacy?

People eat meat because they like it, but the reason people like eating meat is because it's very nutritious. In pre-industrial societies, even in early industrial societies, there would be no substitute for meat (including fish flesh), other than eggs or dairy, and going without some animal protein for a long time would cause nutritional deficiencies.

This is the reason we like to eat meat: because we are animals who need to eat meat to live, thrive and survive.

And plants also. We also need to eat plants to survive. We need to eat more plants than meat to surive. But a balanced diet includes some meat or animal products, like eggs or dairy.

>> It is a novel and interesting line of reasoning to pretend that the justification to kill animals is that we are "the same"; but if we extend that argument, we find that there is no reason to prefer your life over a pig's life.

I'm sorry but I don't "pretend" anything. I claim something and you disagree with it- but please don't demean my contribution of my opinion to this thread by insinuating that I'm being dishonest.

The idea that humans are different to animals has been used to defend both cruelty to animals, saying they don't have a soul and so do not feel pain and therefore we can abuse them freely; and the cessation of animal exploitation, saying that humans stand at a higher moral ground than other animals and "we should know better".

Personally, I prefer my life over a pig's life. I don't know your life.

But does it work with the OSS shim for alsa shim for pulseaudio shim for jack shim for pipewire?

Jokes aside my first reaction upon hearing about pipewire was "oh no, not yet an other Linux audio API" but maybe a miracle will happen and it'll be the Chosen One.

I know that audio is hard but man the situation on Linux is such a terrible mess, not in small part because everybody reinvents the wheel instead of fixing the existing solutions. Jack is definitely the sanest of them all in my experience (haven't played with pipewire) but it's also not the most widely supported so I often run into frustrating issues with the compatibility layers.

The Mediterranean diet is only superficially close to the American one. It would be more accurate to speak of separate lifestyles than diets. The relationship to food that Americans have is almost completely alien to what most Italians experience, although with the spread of American culture this might not last beyond a few generations.

It's a bit like what used to be called the 'French paradox' in that American observers mistook a tradition of rich foods as the constant ingestion of such food.
I actually saw someone with a relatively large following on Twitter the other day suggest that the government give mandatory hormone blockers to all children so that they more easily decide their gender.

> There aren't a lot of conservatives working in tech, media, and academia.

That is because intelligent people can see right through the bullshit. Smart people can be conservative, I used to consider myself one, but lately the delusion and outright commitment to ignorance is too hard to ignore. Cognitive dissonance is at an all time high.
There is no conspiracy. It's a standard industry transform/consolidate play. From a public health perspective, a $1 McDonald's burger made of coconuts/pea/soy/salt is just as bad as the incumbent beef-based product. The capital behind meat alternatives does not give a hoot about animal welfare or anything beyond money... meat alternatives are the new Coke.

It is much cheaper to operate a couple of large national-scale factories to produce plant-based meat alternatives with mostly automated equipment and minimal regulatory oversight. Meat processing either needs to be regional, which is higher cost, or national, where limitations or capital costs of automation require a large pool of unskilled labor. You "fix" factory farming by enforcing labor standards at the processing layer that make concentrated, high throughput meat processing uneconomic. The result would be changes in how the industry functions and higher prices. (ie. market forces)

Those same market forces would ultimately drive more plant-based calories in diets and probably healthier eating habits. Factory farms exist because USDA policy since the 70s have been focused on slowing inflation in food prices. That policy ultimately drives alot of unsustainable practices, from factory farms for livestock, to the long-term depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer, to the transfer of topsoil from the Mississippi/Missouri/Ohio river watershed to the Gulf of Mexico. 50-100 years from now, our descendants will be returning to regional agriculture at very high cost as midwest production fails and climate change breaks the environment the supports the magnificent bounty of the California central valley and Colorado watershed.

This is a good point that the authors don't touch on. There are many coins secured by sha256 and I'm sure many more will come along before BTC finishes it's release schedule.

Switching to any one of them is likely to provide more revenue than just attacking the network for a little extra transaction fee money.

This is one of those times it's really useful to make a distinction between bitcoin the currency and bitcoin the protocol. If it was the authors intention to describe a future problem on the BTC network then they messed up by not addressing the rest of the sha256 mining ecosystem. However, if it was their intention to describe a problem with the protocol itself then it kind of makes sense to not touch on miner's alternatives.

A good reminder that you often need boththe creative folks and the business folks on board for cool stuff to make it all the way to fruition.
Is this article one of those super contentious things where people just downvote every comment even if you’re just saying innocuous things like “I wish we had objective facts”?

My first thought was ExxonMobil when I read this comment.

> In July 1977, a senior scientist of Exxon James Black reported to the company's executives that there was a general scientific agreement at that time that the burning of fossil fuels was the most likely manner in which mankind was influencing global climate change.

> According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, "The funding of academic research activity has provided the corporation legitimacy, while it actively funds ideological and advocacy organizations to conduct a disinformation campaign."

Nothing has happened to Exxon Mobile. None of the executives are in prison as far as I know. You'd think the company would be bankrupt by now...

This whole "illegal naked short sales" story recently is a conspiracy theory, not a valid theory, so you're not going to get a source.

The main difference between a conspiracy theory and a valid theory is that a conspiracy theory is non-falsifiable; any evidence to the contrary is dismissed as "fake news" or "the deep state is hiding the evidence".

In your example here of "they testified to Congress under penalty of perjury", the response will be "Ya, they lied, because they knew the whole system would back them. They faked all of the records that show that they didn't actually do it!".

Now this isn't to say that a conspiracy theory can't be right in the end, but that still doesn't make it a valid theory.
Seems like an invention that probably already exists: a pocketable handheld stapler, you load a single staple, push the device into the groove of some folded pages, staple exits the guide and pierced to other side (probably stabbing you!), tool is applied in a different way to bend over the staples from said other side.

>> What do you need 32GB for?

Massive projects. Or a couple VM's.

The first laptop I saw running a VM was a Dell Precision M50 (?), it was 2" thick and almost 10lbs. It had something ridiculous (at the the time) like 1 or 1.5GB of RAM.

A sales guy was demoing a product to us, and it spun up a Windows 2000 VM for IIS and another for SQL server, it probably took 10 minutes to get started but he could then demo the app through the browser. Sounds silly but it worked.

"But can't you just run it on a server somewhere"

Yes. That'd be cheaper and faster. But at this high end of the market, it might make more sense for some people.

"It's not censorship, it's just <...>. And any ways, you still have <XYZ>".

No, it absolutely is censorship. This is a cowardly defense of it, trying to reframe it as something understandable.

Edit: The intellectual dishonesty from the censorship apologists is more than I can bear. Is it so hard to delineate between a publisher ceasing to print a book because there is no demand, and a publisher refusing to publish a book because it is offensive?

One of the goals is low latency realtime audio to take the place of Jack. That requires small buffers frequently filled. I doubt that's very power hungry on today's systems. Also handling other tasks can be pushed on another core. So far it works better for me than Pulse did.

You can. But it is not a good metric. Assuming the difficulty adjustments ramp down you could still mine blocks with a couple of raspberry pis.

The energy consumption and capital investment in hardware is Bitcoins security model. As it would require you to put in the same amount of HW and energy to subvert the mining process. Probably we are at a point that this is almost impossible other than a state actor or a global conspiracy.

The block size increase/decrease is also tied to security. There are latency implications as well as the fact that some nodes might drop of if you increased the block size.

In both cases it comes back to security rather than the transactional throughput. I am a huge proponent but still kind of struggle with the idea of how much resources this thing sucks up.
But then again if it truly becomes the worlds ledger for wealth preservation... idk ... might be worth it.
A brilliant model - or better yet, feature - for determining domain worth is whether it's been added to a basket. Why sell a valuable domain for £10 when you can "buy" it yourself and sell it later for £100?

AFAIK the practice hasn't been officially proven, but there's overwhelming amounts of anecdata pointing to this being real and endemic in the industry.

I don't think people are that open to communism. Rather, they are open to that utopia the communism-by-the-book is trying to sell. In the end this nuance is irrelevant because all the real-world communisms we ever had are (and were) rather dystopian, yet somehow still managing to sell themselves to the utopists. Maybe because people believe what they want to believe?
Exactly this. Indeed, looking at Timnit Gebru as an example of someone who worked at both, I'd be very surprised if her paper that was censored at Google would have had any issues in being published if she were still working for Microsoft. Despite the research being, by implication, critical of a growing market segment in Azure, regarding its environmental impact and so on.
That's true for the B1 bomber. During the presidential campaign, when Reagan complained about the jobs lost due to its cancellation, Carter arranged for security clearance for him to know about the F-117 and stealth technology which rendered the B1 obsolete. Later on, Reagan restarted the B1 production anyway.
