> This is why I'm so skeptical of climate alarmists.

Normally the jetstreams & currents of the atmosphere keep the cold up north.

What we are seeing is a destabilization of long running separation of different thermal systems[1]. The arctic is making a break for it. It's heading to places it's never been before. Because the climate is changing.

And it's melting the icecaps. It's making northern route shippings increasingly likely. It's possibly going to shut down the thermohaline circulation that is one of the major movers of ocean water.

> What do you guys think?

I am extremely sad that we have to deal with skeptics. That people aren't just shocked, awed, terrified, because they see such stupid little small minded evidence as "it was cold around here soooo....". This used to be a dynamic planet, where ocean currents flowed, where ice formed & ebbed, where birds and bees and insects flew. And all of that seems to be drying up. The entropy, the differences across earth, seem to be normalizing into a big boring average, where everything just sits, baking, in a world-wide equilibrium.

I think it's extremely sad to see such denialism. It's morally & existentially reckless, it's unserious in the extreme in the level of diligence it shows, and it's polluting the public space with it's unresearched, un-backed-up skepticism.

> The next step would be for you to try to give counter points of what you think is extreme that others consider not, or better, what you think is not extreme that others consider so.

I don't think that's the next step. I think the point is that what is extreme will always be subjective, and there is danger in allowing some group of people to decide what speech is acceptable and what is not.

I was thinking about it the other day. We got a C64 Maxi (a full-sized C64 emulator) and my 8yo daughter loves some of the C64 games and was exploring a little bit the BASIC environment and realizing she can make a machine do her bidding by telling it what to do. I feel that screen time on it is far less worrying than on YouTube or Roblox.
It got even worse after 1950, it's just that at that point all socialist were already atomized.

I find plenty of these types of communities through Discord, and I think that is part of the equation that's left out here. I don't really like discord much, but the reason I get when I do is to go check in on those friends. Usually these communities are just people that I've met playing games.

I don't know that these would qualify as counter-culture or subculture, but they are free of marketing and advertising, and people are there because we have shared interests. The conversations are organic and not curated for us and we are isolated from anyone else we don't want to be part of that group.

So, my gut tells me that the younger generations are using Discord like people used IRC.

America mostly stopped caring about the welfare of rural Americans sometime around WWII. There have been some brief blips (Appalachia 68, farms 78) but generally - concern for Americans to sustain themselves ends at the edge of metro areas. Neither pols, nor press nor most of us are interested in a meaningful way.

To be clear, my assertion isn't an invitation to pit the rural poor against the urban poor. It's to highlight how Americans tend to be particular about which Americans merit their concern. For schlubs like me, that might be understandable. But for those folks who's actual job it is to look out for everyone - rarely caring about the welfare of some Americans (who are in real and sustained trouble) is just systemic neglect.
Hi, thanks for your question. Our most recent event was for 800+ attendees with 130+ booths, for COVID-19 Relief. This event had luminaries such as: Dr Sanjay Gupta - Chief CNN Medical Correspondent, Dr Celine Grounder from the White House Covid-19 Task Force, Dr Hotez, and more from all over the world. The vendors had all sorts of COVID-19 solutions of high caliber. People have been engaged while in Venu.
Please come on in and have a look for yourself.
It's far less than 30%, maybe less than 10%. And you're correct, that's what I think is driving the response to "cancel culture." Being ostracized for expressing views contrary to those of the majority is just human history. Being ostracized for expressing views consistent with those of the majority is quite an odd situation. That inversion is only possible because particular ideologies have overtaken elite universities, and most of our cultural institutions are controlled by graduates of those elite universities.
An expanding menace culture will also be young, just because anything growing fast can't have been doing it for long. By comparison, a stable culture can stay that way indefinitely, spending its resources accumulating knowledge and skills instead of on expanding, and so can accumulate a very great deal of both over a vast stretch of time. It has perhaps less access to materials, but a solar system has a great deal of material to start with, and it is not stretched thin.

When an expanding menace tries to absorb the ancient stable culture, it has key disadvantages. Its attention is spread over activities on a large periphery, and its stores of knowledge and weaponry are limited. The ancient culture has been found by many menaces before, and survived them all. It knows of other old, stable societies, and they may even have evolved a common plan for dealing with menaces.

It is conceivable that the expanding menace would try to flow around the old stable societies, like a river around rocks, without threatening them enough to provoke a backlash, but that runs against the logic of expansion.

So, odds are any expanding menace will encounter one of them, or more than one, if needed, before it gets to us. Each such encounter will be an existential challenge at bad odds, which multiply out increasingly close to zero.

Thus, the stable condition of a galaxy is a sparsely occupied archipelago of deeply ancient, unassailable cultures not interested in expansion, so not visiting, e.g., us, with the occasional rash of menace, dealt with firmly.
Well yeah, but you already had the possibility to share passwords with groups of other Bitwarden users so that's kind of the point.
> there was a time when IP blocking was enough to satisfy regulators but now they're basically saying there is nothing a company can do

Come on. KYC and AML laws are very well known and were put in place for a reason. When there are actual issues with regulation that could use reform and modernization, straw-manning negligence regarding the black and white parts that most of modern society unanimously agrees upon is always an odd tack.
You mean like... NAT64?

For me, the necessary firewall changes consisted of using "domain (ip ip6)" in ferm instead of "domain ip"; the general config is a few lines in radvd.conf plus a static IP on the LAN interface (and v4 requires that one too). None of that seems very crazy.

> the number of layers of encryption I'm hitting (I'm IPv6 on a VPN using wireguard tunnels and browsing in SSL on my remote machine) seems nuts.

This is two layers, one of which you introduced yourself and neither of which have anything to do with v6.

No. Again, it seems impossible to believe that JLo (and Hilary Clinton, and Fetty Wap, and...) said All Lives Matter as a covert signal they don't like the BLM movement. I'm sure some people somewhere have said it to troll, but I think the concern over the phrase is mostly a moral panic.

In my opinion, and this is what I am betting on with my platform, is that full transparency will apply not to the identities themselves, but to the internal workings of the social network, including the full social graph, the moderation activity, and the software state.

This will allow the positives of pseudonymity and information freedom without the drawbacks of opaque moderation and censorship.

Why should anyone take responsibility for what they do? There's no obligation for anyone to do that. Some people feel like they should take responsibility, others feel nothing at all.

I'm not poor, far from it, yet I still use stremio to stream movies just as conveniently as netflix without paying a dime. It's wrong. There is no way to justify what I'm doing. Yet me and many other people both in America and in China use the app without the need for justification.

Don't think that the guilt you feel is something other people feel. I can assure you I feel nothing.

It's unfortunate, I recognize it's wrong, but at the same time... I don't actually care.

You can vote me down, but I'm being candid here. There are tons of people like me and most of them won't be candid about there apathy towards piracy, so this is a window into our mindset if you're a person who can't relate.

Yes, we believe there will be a "changing of season" post-Covid, however, as a result of event organizers being forced to switch to virtual events for the past year and a half, our customers have learned the value of hosting events on Venu. 1) Wvent organizers can sign up high profile speakers and exhibitors in a matter of weeks rather than months because attendees do not have to fly, book hotels, or take time out of office, which means higher sales for the event organizer and higher quality conference for the attendees with more quality attendees. 2) We are working with our customers now to organize "hybrid" conferences as well as organizing our own in San Francisco once Covid is over. Having an expo with hundreds of booths virtually and speakers from all around the world speak and network virtually is a proven win for Venu over in-person trade shows. However, networking dinners, happy hours at bars, and on-site tours with silicon valley tech companies are still a great value add of an in-person conference.
Interesting article. As you mentioned, NASA is justifying the >6x price increase with:

>In announcing the policy change, NASA said it had previously subsidized transportation to and from the station in order to foster the development of commercial space applications.

>“Since making these opportunities available, there has been a growing demand for commercial and marketing activities from both traditional aerospace companies and from novel industries, demonstrating the benefits of the space station to help catalyze and expand space exploration markets and the low-Earth orbit economy,” the space agency said. “As a result, NASA has updated its pricing policy for commercial activities conducted on the station to reflect full reimbursement for the value of NASA resources.”

While I don't have any reason not to take this explanation at face value, I am curious about the timing. Did they just have too many potential customers to justify subsidizing the cost?

I was also surprised to see a "trash disposal" line item in the price catalog. It doesn't sound like ISS-generated waste. Does anyone know if this is literally people paying thousands of dollars per kg to transport cargo to space in order to dispose it by burning it up on re-entry? What could justify such a cost? Are there examples? What kind of restrictions on items are there?

(Perhaps I should just Google this myself! :)

It isn't that mysterious.

p7zip has a number of known bugs easily found by fuzzing, as it hasn't seen updates for years. 7-zip in general is a tool that is written in C and supports lots of complex binary formats and thus has a huge attack surface for memory corruption bugs.

This is all pretty obvious with some basic knowledge of how these things work.

In a way this makes sense, the mega platforms have become a highly uniform slightly left leaning milquetoast walled city. That leaves being either a raging socialist (guilty) or a raging....bigot.

The far right isn't tolerated as they're dangerous to advertisers sensitivities. Meanwhile the far left individuals are mostly tolerated but they're also all very aware that if the far right were to disappear overnight, they'd be the next target.

I just advertise both Pi-Holes via DHCP and when I configure manual DNS settings. The primary DNS gets the vast majority of the DNS traffic, about 150 requests/minute and the secondary gets about 10 requests/minute (mostly from a single device).

Both piholes are on different UPS power, different switches, in different locations. In theory the lights will go out on the main UPS and switch first (it draws more power), but this configuration did save me once.
That doesn't make any sense. If you want to orbit at a lower speed, you need to increase your altitude. Geostationary orbit is at 35,000+ km, while the ISS orbits at ~400 km.

"To be truly countercultural in a time of literate hegemony, you must become illiterate"
> It may be something entirely different though, point is it is not hard to come up with a context where these slides are not criticizing the color of people’s skin.

I agree that your above scenarios could change the context.

However, given that I perceived the slides in a different manner, and several others did as well (if no one perceived this to mean white people, then there would have been no news). Would you agree that using "white" to mean something other than the race in a seminar titled 'Facing Racism' is less likely than 'white' being used to refer to race? If not, would you agree that the Robin's usage of 'white' was poorly thought out, considering that people ended up with the conclusion that she was referring to race?

I do believe that Robin was referring to 'white' in terms of race; however, I'm willing to explore the possibility that this wasn't the case.

In the event that my assumption is correct - that Robin is referring to race - would you then agree that Robin is a member of the left who believes that white culture should be viewed negatively based on the content of the slides within the seminar?

To be fair, I'm not saying that we should all ditch Reddit and only congregate on obscure message boards with maximum user limits; I'm simply saying that a place like a default subreddit should never be considered counter-cultural.

Strong disagree. Naked propaganda is downvoted, sure, but good propaganda is never naked. Add enough eyeballs and increasingly sophisticated and coordinated actors will find a way to get their message to the top.

Is there a rock-solid git server that I can use on a home server for versioned immutable backups of misc. files on personal devices (e.g., account config), as well as private software development git repos?

(I've done a cheaper version of this -- except for the immutable part, and the separation of accounts between devices -- in the past using SSH+SVN to a home server, and it was great.)

I was thinking immutable from the perspective of a device. A given device can pull branches of certain repos, and make commits to the branches. But a device's user account on the git server doesn't have permission to affect past commits. So, for example, if my dodgy Linux smartphone is compromised, a hypothetical person who isn't being nice can't do anything to my backups, other than make bogus additional commits.

Maybe each device has its own branch (e.g., `big-laptop`, `little-laptop`, `smartphone`, `media-server`), where they can commit their changes, and maybethey can pull from main/trunk. And then the physical console for the git server lets me inspect and merge changes from the different devices, so that other devices can pick up those changes.

I thought about starting with Gitlab CE, but that's pretty big, so, even if the features could be made to do what I want, I don't know whether I'd always be running too many vulnerabilities that defeat some of my purposes.

If Summers' comments trigger this sentiment then I think it's fair to label this as "egregiously noteworthy." It's similar to the exaggerated claims we see with regularity nowadays that those with unpopular views must be punished because they're making their peers "feel unsafe" - there was in fact an (undoubtedly less-enlightened) time when this sort of teeth-gnashing was seen as unprofessional.
You're right. I could spend the hours of time to write a thesis here, as if it will make any difference, but I prefer to just play the contrarian while I blow off from work for a few.

Big Corporations and centralization of power in the hands of few is bad, and should be obvious. I didn't think one would need to provide evidence that Big Tech/Media is canceling conservatives, libertarians, liberals, greens, and surmise that it is not just because of benevolence or public safety. These are advertising companies deciding what is truth. That some people still cheer as more people that disagree with them are wiped off the de facto public forums on the internet should be scary to the masses who are just one wrong idea from being similarly muzzled. US Government is bought and paid for by these interests, so the logical hope would be for a technical solution by neoanarchists and other disenfranchised groups. It's just a hope, sure... but with the growth of crypto for decentralizing infrastructure (Filecoin, for instance) it seems all but inevitable.
