I already wrote a lengthy reply to one of your other comments. I don't have the time or energy to write a detailed rebuttal to this one, and I'm beginning to wonder whether you're arguing in good faith.

But on your WW2 point, I did think about it for a minute.

Britain fought WW2 for 6 years, 1939 – 1945. Brexit has no known endpoint. Imagine that even 10% of the trade impacts we've seen since the end of the transition period on 1 January persist. Then you can quite easily calculate how many years it will take to damage the economy more than WW2. Off the top of my head, I don't know if that's 6 years, or 60 years, or 600 years. But there's certainly some finite number that will do it.

But they do control it enough to add the Windows logo key and the context menu key.

I use the Windows logo "Super" key a lot (mostly for workspaces) and I miss the context menu key which is there on my office keyboard but lacks on my laptop (which even has a keypad). Being able to open a context menu without using a mouse is a very useful convenience.
Blockchain data is immutable after it's been signed. If PII ends up in blockchain data, which is not unthinkable for e.g. financial transactions, there is no way to comply with data deletion requests, which the GDPR mandates.

I love frontend engineering and I would work on a tailwind-based project if I had a strong need or desire to work on it for other reasons. If I was picking between two projects and all other things were equal, I'd choose the non-tailwind one, though.
Our government is happily funneling millions of public money into murky contracts with companies that often barely exist. It is corruption. The tory party has no ideology.

What a lazy way to think
Now we got rid of the EU protections the Tory govt is going to stripmine the country for cash.

Imagine the desire for wealth and power at the expense of others being defined as a mental illness that needed treating instead of giving these cunts more power.
Yes, but his point is that when you write a server (any server), you still have to consider non-browser connections on top of browser connections, thus any security policy that handles the former can subsume the latter.

Well, this is bit strange. Apparently I can buy two books about the life of Graham Greene, both by the same author - Richard Greene. One is called "The Unquiet Englishman: A Life of Graham Greene" (512 pages) published Nov 2020 [1] and the other is called "Russian Roulette: A brilliant new life of Graham Greene" (602 pages) published Sep 2020 [2].

Funny enough, the name immediately jumped out to me because of video games ;)

The free map coming with the DCS World flight simulator is a large part of the eastern Black Sea and western Caucasus, and there's quite a few missions and campaigns in the Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions (some with a heavy Russian narrative, some from Georgian and NATO point of view, so all in all quite balanced I'd say). Having never heard of Abkhazia and Ossetia before either this lead me to read up on their (mostly troubled) history.

Who says video games aren't educational.

What are some other secure ways to send varying file sizes from my computer to one/many others e.g. how would you securely send 1MB, 1GB, 1TB?

I'm thinking once you're past 1TB, you're better off mailing an (encrypted) physical drive but I'm curious about other solutions especially if you have gigabit internet at home

Sometimes 0-0 is fine, but what if say 1/2 or more games where 0-0. That’s hardly fun.

You need to design a sport so scoring is expected every game even if it’s rare within each game. A slightly larger net say 1 foot wider and 6 inches taller with an expanded goalie only area say extra 2 foot radius is a reasonable option. Tweak thing so the most common score it’s say 1-2 or 2-3 and you’re fine.
Other issue is version compatability if you're working on a team
They can't realistically block it. Normally the miners are trivial "structure in, best hash out" functions. The logic of choosing the transactions and preparing new blocks can be completely independent and distribute the work over any number of remote miners. (That's pretty much how mining pools work)

The network transport would be trivial to change, or tunnel over (for example) SSH.

DoS also wouldn't be likely - if you have power to do that and can identify the connection, you're likely to have access to the physical address.
And the different versions of remain? Remain but keep British exceptionalism? Remain but go all in? Remain but work towards a superstate?

There was no single, set-in-stone outcome on either side.

I voted to stay in, but the remain campaign was far from honest.
> virtue of having clearer, cleaner and simpler processes.

We are a large bank, most of our processes are decades old and are an impossible mess. For reference, we have a total of around 5000 systems running in the bank... Till GDPR and also some post-2008 regulation, I guess the strategy was to mostly accept the mess we're in (it's basically an absolutely extreme version of technical and organizational debt), with some targeted initiatives to make some areas slightly cleaner. Now, GDPR would require a major redoing of a lot of stuff, most of which is not really redoable - who wants to touch critical code written in COBOL, which is powering the significant parts of economies of a couple of European countries? I suspect most of the world's top20 banks are like that. In this realm, full GDPR compliance (for example, the right to be forgotten, when the data is copied willy-nilly across 5000 apps, with no one knowing exactly where and how the data flows) is a fantasy that could only be enforced by multibillion fines.

It's essentially similar problem to global warming - till recently, all of bank's depratments were solving problems locally, but now a new threat (global warming/GDPR legislation) requires global coordination, which is extremely costly given that the bank was basically not designed for it.
So we throw away our relationship with a trading bloc that is 0km away to do things we already do but spun to make Brexit look palatable before the people who voted for it are already dead?
I've been there during my urbex days.

Frozen conflict zone, not unlike Transnistria, South Ossetia or Nagorno Karabakh. The border is militarized, except the Georgian side which doesn't seem to consider Abkhazia a threat. Lots of abandoned infrastructure because the native Georgian population was killed and/or fleed, and hasn't been harnessed for some reason. Abkhaz cross the border daily to buy basic stuff from Georgia. Only approved vehicles can cross, so most people do it walking with "taxi drivers" servicing both sides of the border. Most of the foreigners there are Russians looking for a cheap seaside vacation. There are streets named after Shamil Basayev (!).

Actually I left Abkhazia illegally, since you have to collect the visa inside (as there aren't diplomatic missions anywhere) after crossing the border, and the offices were closed all 3 days that my visa was going to be valid for. So yeah, arguing with soldiers for 4 hours in my rudimentary Russian wasn't great.

I'm in no way supporter of Putins regime and I totally agree that he'll do everything to keep all countries around poor and unstable, but come on. Original war in Abkhazia happened when USSR crashed and it was your usual ethnic conflict. Not some orchestrated hybrid war like in Ukraine, but real civil war. I've been in both Abkhazia and Georgia and people of both countries relise that and count themself the righteous side.

Yeah it's obvious that Russian establishment have all reason sto keep this conflict unresolved as it's prevent Gerogia from joining NATO or EU. But even if regime in Russia gonna change there is no easy solution because ethnic conflict didn't go anywhere.
The same argument has been heard from Trump and his followers. Stolen votes, manipulated people.

Why don't struggling dairy farmers convert to beef production? Seems to me it would be much less labour intensive and more profitable. Obviously if every struggling dairy farmer converted to beef it would drive prices down. I think people are eating less dairy in general than in past times. I am not lactose intolerant but I don't think I have had milk or ice cream for at least a year. I do eat cheese and yogurt so maybe that (more than?) counterbalances my lack of milk consumption.

With regard to the manure issue there are various ways to handle it. Some modern barns are set up with trenches running along the stalls, the stalls can be periodically washed into the trenches, and the trenches drain into a giant holding tank. Manure can be used as a nitrogen source for fields fertilisation or it can be anaerobically digested for methane which can be used as a source of energy.
Prerequisites are not what you think. They need to see scores of exams.

It's not inevitable, but the current government appears to move in that direction intentionally.

- The EU exit was, among other things, accused of being a way to relax regulation and legislation to degrade product standards to a US-like level. Chlorinated chicken was a big item on everyone's discussion agenda a while back. This is now evidently happening.

- The government is severely underfunding the NHS, despite paying it lip service. Some accuse the government of doing this as a form of sabotage, so that the service quality degrades and the private sector can swoop in as the saviour. This is controversial because:

a) Brits are very proud of the NHS as a nation (or at least that's the dominant narrative in my news bubble)

b) The privatisation of British rail has been a disaster - ticket prices have skyrocketed, and service quality took a nosedive in some areas.

> The right supports environmentalism and healthcare. They disagree with specific leftist plans.

Can you give me one right-leaning healthcare or environmental "plan" that anybody in congress is pushing that will cover every American 100% for healthcare, drugs, mental health, dental, etc?

Single-payer is the best plan I've seen because it negotiates rates for drugs in bulk - one price for all of America and the government can choose different companies if they won't play ball but it's a huge ass market so they'll play ball.

Likewise for the environment - the right tends to deny climate change is even happening, so how do they support environmentalism?

Why do the right also think it's okay to spend 700 billion per year on the military (that's more than the next ten countries combined, China for example only spends 200 billion), and the DOD is the only government agency never to pass a fiscal audit. If they're worried about "costs" then maybe they should start with the defense budget.

> There isn't a sizeable lobby who is "against environmentalism", for example. There is a huge lobby who just doesn't see how a comfortable living standard can be achieved without fossil fuels.

How comfortable a standard of living will we have when we have wars over water, and species of animals becoming extinct at ever faster rates (including the very species we eat and rely on for food)?

I appreciate that it's always good to question how much data, of any kind, is exposed, but what's the scenario where you want to share a secret with a specific person, but it's really important that they don't have the email address you use for Bitwarden?

There are alternatives like https://onetimesecret.com which don't, but I can see the value in making it clear that this is a legitimate user to avoid phishing type scenarios.

Between zero problems getting as many cards and accounts as one wants, instant issue virtual cards and NFC/apps on the phones here in Russia, those stories from US sound ridiculous.

I only carry plastic because I find paying with the phone a bit cumbersome and besides the card doesn't have a battery and fits better in a pocket.

I have multiple spares laying around just in case. Sometimes the cats hide one, so what, the branch office is in 15 minutes walking distance.

Internet access is better and much cheaper too.

Maybe because Russia haven't had monstrous incumbents in either place and as a result the market worked as intended.

How do you expect a password manager, which is what Bitwarden is at its base, to work without an account?
Consumer Attitude in Direct Selling: A Study
True, it's not the same as hashing a password and comparing hashes - you need to decrypt your data.

Encryption adds one layer of obfuscation for a bad actor that might steal the database but does not get their hands on the key. Plus access to the key can be managed differently than access to the database.

Either way, it comes down to sensitivity of the predictions made and how users would react should they be exposed before their due dates.
I use http://transfer.sh for sending large files between machines on different networks - you don't even need an account to use it. I presume there must be a maximum file size, but I haven't hit it (yet).

Technically he's an " Officer of the Order of the British Empire", a bit anachronistic for sure :)
I'm in the UK, so you got me: it seems I take a somewhat self-interested view on human rights! More seriously, though, the UK used to be a major world advocate for human rights, so UK human rights going down the pan probably isn't great for human rights worldwide.

Peace takes two sides, so it's hard to argue that having your dysfunctional politicians run unchecked isn't going to lead to worse outcomes across the board.

As a vegan, I am concerned about the cruel treatment of farm animals. Losing family farms only aggravates the problem in this price race against the bigger actors in dairy production.

While dairy is not strictly necessary for grown ups, I recognise that it will be present for some time so we should care about how it is produced. Dairy should be more expensive than it is now, similar to what happens to meat.
This. I'm keeping a Mac mini on Mojave specifically to run Illustrator CS6. The price of an Intel Mac mini on eBay is fairly competitive with 2 years of Illustrator CC payments.
We already saw the big exit cost. Tariffs will apply where trade deals are missing. I'm not sure who you expect to use sanctions - EU won't slap anyone with sanctions just because they left EU. Have a look at https://sanctionsmap.eu/ for situations where sanctions have been applied.

IIRC, Firefox Send shutdown because it was getting abused - I see you need an account to use Bitwarden Send, which I imagine helps mitigate against that, but it's also a barrier to use. Would be interesting to know what other anti-abuse mechanisms are in place.
Playing on this uncertainty was a conscious decision by the pro remain Conservative government of the time. People would ask 'what will happen after we vote brexit?' the natural reply: 'nobody knows' - well why not?

It was clearly reckless to hold a vote on something without a plan on how it was actually to be implemented or even what it might look like; and there were calls for the government to do some investigation here and publish a report or some such document - the decision not to do so was in order to sow that uncertainty.

https://skysend.hns.siasky.net/ is a neat way to send up to 8 GB. Handles smaller files just fine as well.

We've transferred as much as 250 GB I believe using scp over the local network. But that was obviously between roommates.

You're probably right that once you're in the TB range, actually sending a drive is the way to go. Egress on Amazon is more expensive than buying and then shipping physical disks.
Apart from the obvious usability thing, I think key management is the main problem. With a solution like this, the user does not even know keys or certificates exist. Anything involving GPG, no matter how easy you make it, will require some knowledge of those concepts.

.. And if you say "but what if the app did it all for you behind the scenes" - at that point, it would look exactly like this and the fact it's gpg based or not would not matter to anyone, not even to you.

> There's a consensus amongst economists that immigration makes us financially better off.

In aggregate, not individually. Great for those of us in the middle classes, but I have a lot of sympathy for those who see their low wages effectively pegged to minimum wage, and who have to compete for those minimum wage jobs with a huge pool of people.

We have stories of fruit and veg going unpicked because labour can't be imported as easily, and the few brits who enquired about the work wouldn't do it, they wouldn't live on the farm and work long days for the lowest possible pay. This speaks to me of industries in dire need of reform, propped up by the importation of those willing to accept standards nobody should have to accept, because of a disparity in wealth between countries.

Was leaving the EU the right way to go about fixing this? Probably not, but to sweep these issues under the rug or worse, call people racist because of them, was counterproductive.

> OK, so the problem is that I find it basically impossible to understand how a well-informed and rational person could come to the conclusions you've come to.

That is indeed a problem, but it is your problem. If 48% of people support anything, there must be some reasons for it.

You're right about the consensus among economists. At the same time, 10 years ago there was a consensus about the virtues of free trade. Then Autor et al. wrote "The China Shock" and other similar papers, and, well, now there's not a consensus any more. Also, economics isn't immune to bias. Are papers showing a link from immigration to low wages, or crime, or reduced trust, likely to get a fair hearing?

Is desire for ethnic homogeneity close to racism? It seems to be very widely shared - including among impeccable liberals. See the evidence on white flight in Kaufmann's Whiteshift. Homophily is close to a human universal, so it's not obvious that it is wrong, or stupid, to prefer others like ourselves.

If we trade we have to accept rules. But now we get to choose which, right? As you say, if we don't like US rules on chicken, we can trade that off against the costs. The value of tying ourselves to the EU depends on how you view its future. There's a fair case that it is an aging, sclerotic continent that can only make money by imposing fines on US tech companies. I don't say that's the only perspective that you can make.

Lastly, the UK is a democracy. The EU, hardly (see Perry Anderson's recent essays in the LRB for a fairly comprehensive account). Democracy sure has its flaws, but doesn't the threat of the boot encourage politicians to get things done? In this context, the contrast between the UK's vaccination program and the EU's is telling.
