This is awesome. I can't wait to dig into it. I was contemplating creating creating the same thing roughly. Maybe I can now leverage this instead :-)
security.txt gets its naming from robots.txt?
I mean, that would imply you would prefer a term that is in a way discriminatory to a particular group right? Not in bad faith, but it seems you kind off admitted that there is some evil in doing so, and that you're willing to do it.

Also, I wouldn't do that. Emancipating an actual workforce or colleagues would be my solution, not making the company suffer under it.
Basically. The regulations are intentionally vague and I believe my phrasing most clearly captured their actual operational meaning.
The good old “frivolous lawsuit” trope, the classic Republican boogieman since the days of malpractice “reform.” What’s wrong with people seeking justice through the courts? Lawyers need to feed their kids too. They do the job others won’t do—ambulances don’t chase themselves.
I have a feeling that humans will remain overwhelmingly responsible for most of the wartime mistakes.

I think this will further reduce conflict between advanced nations (robots killing robots just becomes a stalemate) and will intensely escalate any asymmetric conflicts where one advanced nation can crush whoever without having to pay the price of deploying humans (think CIA drone strikes).
My use of the word "intermittent" was intentional, yes.

My point: you're not going to find many drones like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov in the foreseeable future.
I’d say this explains the 90/10 wealth gap. The 99.9/0.1 wealth gap stems from financialization and central bank-supported moral hazard.
The main case against "lockdowns" in the West is that they never happened. Joe's Generic Breakfast Diner was forced to close, meanwhile Walmart and Home Depot remained open, often packed with people spending their "stimulus" checks, because supposedly they were "essential" businesses. I think China may have had 6-8 weeks of hard lockdowns in some areas and then it was done. China's lockdown was actually a lockdown not some weird play acting so it seems like it was pretty effective.

That explains, in large part, why Sweden's cumulative death rates are not much different from countries that had "lockdowns" that were not really lockdowns.

In January, Feburary, and maybe early March 2020 the West had a choice. Either implement a strict China style "lockdown" or just let people decide for themselves (the Sweden model). Instead the West chose the worst option, an ineffective half hearted fake lockdown that maximized economic and social disruption. Now more than a year later we are still not out of the woods.

New Zealand is a good example of how lockdowns, quarantine can work if implemented early and effectively.

After a year I think it is pretty clear that the half-hearted lockdown that the West implemented was both ineffective and worse than just actually letting the disease spread naturally. It is not clear, to me at least, that it was a worse option than a sharp, hard lockdown in early 2020, like China did and New Zealand did. Those quarantine approaches seem to have been highly effective.
Next warfares will be much deadlier for civilians... These automated systems can scale in a devastating way, imagine million of people deciding between dying of hunger at home or getting shot automatically in the streets.

Imagine if the military forces of Myanmar had this kind of robots and decided to deploy them during civil protests...
Cool man hope you feel extremely badass for doing that!
that's quite a vague statement. Can you elaborate maybe. (if it's offensive, then maybe not)
>However, many of the measures needed for energy efficiency are now cheaper than the basic operating costs of nuclear power plants.

Yes, blackouts are cheaper than electricity.

>The second point is that renewables today have become so cheap that in many cases they are below the basic operating costs of nuclear power plants.

Prohibiting new plants by law has a way of doing that, with aging mechanisms that fail catastrophically instead of being gracefully shut down in favor of new ones.

And his explanation isn't to justify these claims, but to blame political opponents. Sad!
Yes, and this is why you see hyper-inflation of most CPI items during supply shocks[0][1], not during money printing. The longer something takes to spoil, the more potential it has to be hoarded. To evaluate our risk, we need to determine what items in the CPI are susceptible to these pressures.

If Bitcoin goes to 1 million USD, will that drown out all other energy? Energy is a piece of the CPI, so that's something we need to watch.

This could be a positive. It will create a disincentive for people to pursue political power or to get any kind of public attention. Anyone who draws attention to themselves could become a target. Control over the bot armies is likely to change hands frequently until they become fully autonomous and wipe us all out.
From the article:

> The first of these ideas says that if demand for a product rises and the supply does not then its price is going to increase. Economists would say this is so basic that no one could really argue with it. So let me do so.

First, this assumes that there are no alternative products available. The reality is that there usually are. Few things are so essential now that this is not the case. Secondly, this assumes we will not wait for what we want. We often will, and that smooths demand.

That buyers may choose alternative products, and that purchases may be deferred, both seem to be valid observations to me, but neither amounts to an argument against the proposition that the price of a product will increase if demand for that product rises and its supply does not.

If buyers purchase alternative products, or defer their purchases, then they are not buying the product in question, and demand for that product therefore does not in fact rise.

The author appears to be trying to criticise an orthodox prediction in economics about what will happen under certain conditions not by — as he suggests he is doing — arguing with the logic of the prediction, but instead by asserting that the conditions the prediction applies to do not arise.

Regardless of whether his conclusions about price inflation make sense, he does not actually make the argument that he purports to.
The Humble Petition was a small number of MPs offering him the Crown as a carrot to try to persuade him to tone down the military rule of his generals in the provinces and give power back to Parliament. Cromwell rejected it after some deliberation, not least because he believed some of his military allies would turn on him if he did. He filled a power vacuum, but the support he got from the military was conditional, and the Parliaments he convened didn't back his agendas despite his allies designing the franchises and vetting the candidates. Even Cromwell himself didn't think he was popular as opposed to powerful, famously remarking of a cheering crowd that "they would just as noisy if they were going to see me hanged". He stayed in power due to skill at bridging factions who hated each other and commanding armies, but failed to build a legacy or unite people behind a cause which meant the Restoration happened without significant opposition (and the public got to cheer the hanging of his exhumed corpse). After that, not not many words were written in his favour until Carlyle decided to make him a hero of history in the 19th century.
In the absence of a Lord Protector, we might have seen an attempt at an English Republic instead, and it is conceivable it could have lasted longer.

It is true that regicide was not Parliament's
original intent and was not pursued until after the Second Civil War. But Cromwell was prominent in making it happen when it did.

It's been over a decade since I studied Cromwell so you'll forgive me for not listing every source I read on the subject, but suffice to say it's more than one podcast :)
Me too!

Last night we had a family conjunction - kids w/ a day off from work + new moon setting at 7pm and + relatively clear sky.

We drove 1½ hours to our nearest area with dark skies and looked at actual stars for 20 minutes.
No, but that’s the reasoning you would use, that anyone disagreeing with you must be evil or discriminatory.
So basically “ We don’t like you; we want you to suffer.”

We don’t bans or destroy things just because they contain narcissistic people. We certainly shouldn’t lump all social media into this camp.

It should translate directly. Personally I only buy gaming consoles that can be jailbroken, smartphones that you can install any GNU/Linux distro on etc. and I refuse to treat them any other way I'd treat a PC. That said, there are way more people not wanting Windows on their laptops than people who do what I do, and look how the issue of refunds over pre-installed Windows is still newsworthy now in 2021.
230 protections needs to be something that can be challenged in court. Today, it is abused worse then the DMCA and there is no recourse. Good luck trying to strip protection from an entity that is essentially a publisher.

I think companies would be very honest if there was risk of repeated and consistent infractions.

I wholly believe in reform which brings some power back to the consumer.
yes, but that's the easy-to-recognize part. moreover, we all want a line (more like a hyperplanar function, really) to be drawn somewhere, but the hard part is getting everyone to compromise and accept any given imperfectly-drawn line.

the core concept of section 230 is that an expressed idea in any form has an author and it's inherently implied that the author endorses that idea by expressing it, but no one else in the chain delivering/amplifying that idea to others necessarily endorses it. the author, then, has liability but the intermediates don't.

where it falls apart is dealing with "exceptions". these exceptions are really separate rules about what kinds of content are so egregious as to apply liability to the intermediates in the chain, piercing their liability shield. there's also contention around the plausible deniability provided by section 230 that allows the platforms to express ideas through others (e.g., editorial decisions).

you could reasonably argue that an editorial decision is expressing an idea (perhaps different from the curated content's ideas) in itself, and therefore applies liability to the intermediate itself for that editorial decision (e.g., racism as a emergent property of a platform).

these kinds of granularities are why i'm partial to the idea of writing regulations as an intent statement (like the above core concept), a descriptive, not prescriptive, elaboration of that intent statement and its major facets, and then numerous examples that give shape to the hyperplanar function without trying to delineate it exactly (and inevitably imperfectly; that is, accepting that it's necessarily imperfect). the populace and (if need be) judges can competently interpolate/extrapolate between the given intent, description, and examples (this takes away power from lawyers as mediators of law, which is a reason it's resisted).
"tries to avoid killing unarmed people"

I respectfully disagree, Israel is an occupation force, has overwhelming power (military, economical and diplomatic) and they do kill grown people and children almost without prejudice. Some official numbers (I suspect it is even worse in reality):

https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-208380/

P.S.
I don't condone violence on both sides, eternal war like one in Palestine/Israel is horrible (I've lived through 4 years of war, believe me a day of it is too much), but I really don't like political correctness, where we must have "balance" in reporting, but it is completely clear who holds the keys of peace and who has the finger on the trigger)
> 4. It is crypto, so some degree of fraud and crime is involved.

some degree of fraud and crime exists in regards to anything of value. Money laundering existed before cryptos. Most banks caught laundering money, did it at a massive scale in comparison to the value of the Bitcoin network.
Fraud and crime are directly connected with value
Hey, thanks for reaching out. As you've realized by yourself, the diagram is actually correct - but thanks for pointing out that it is confusing! The book is almost ready to go to print, but I'll see if this can still be fixed.
IMHO, it's just the same game as with the gallery art scheme, except on top of cryptocurrencies.

As a broke artist, if I can get some rich assholes to start convincing each other that my art has ludicrous amounts of money, then I will happily let them pay me for it, and let the gallery owner who was instrumental in convincing them of this value have a healthy cut. If the gallery owner wants to arrange a money-laundering kickback to the rich assholes that's their own business, personally I feel like I'd rather avoid it but who knows how I'll feel when I'm being offered a price with enough zeros at the end of its number?
I wrote an addon for the MBS application Simpack[1] in Fortran as part of my master thesis and I have to say except for the stupid line length limit I enjoyed using Fortran (was first contact with Fortran then). My educational background is Mechatronics, so my cs background is not web/gui applications, but rather embedded systems.

The C64 SID really was an improvement:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o321fq7O7-Q (Jump to 10:30 for Atari)

I wonder why 8-bit Atari failed against Commodore, must have been pricing?

The VIC-20 was released after the 400/800 but at half the price of the 400!

Then the failed launch of the 1200XL at the same time as the C64 at 1/4 of that price...

Jack Tramiel was a wizard of numbers! And getting people to work very hard!
Banks make loans. Banks are expected to have sufficent cash reserves to service all of their customer accounts. If a bank fails, account holders dont get their money back aside from whats insured by the FDIC and only up to 250k$.

Bitcoins are literally just pieces of a digital ledger system. No loans and all units of account are depedant exclusively on the ledger.

Regulating a bank is required because banks take in capital from account owners and take on additional risk by loaning that capital to others which may or may not get paid back. If banks lose money from bad loans to a point they dont have the cash available to service customer accounts the only thing they can tell people trying to make a withdrawel is 'tough titty'.

You don't have that problem with bitcoin. You get many other problems with it, volatile pricing and a complete inability to control money supply, but that's not one of them.
It's ridiculous to think that all the advanced countries aren't working on exactly this. To some extent, it totally makes sense.

Defining an area as a kill zone and a bomb that is dropped on a particular area aren't all that different.
EU wants to search all of your chats and emails
You can use this line of thinking to justify any war crime that doesn't involve killing the adversary. "Well, we could've just killed them, better we dragged them to a black site to be tortured instead."

A scenario where Palestinians are permanently blinded for approaching the prison fences in Gaza or elsewhere is honestly horrifying.
> At the risk of sounding cold...they seriously suspended it because four people showed issues? Out of more than 100k doses?

No, not even that. Ireland has given over 100k doses and had zero reported issues. They are suspending it over 4 reported issues across the entire EU that don't even have a clear link to being caused by the vaccine.

The UK has given millions and millions of doses of this vaccine and there is no clotting epidemic there.
The only way drones and other devices like robo-snipers could be thought of ethical is if the conflicts are drone vs drone and robot vs robot.

Basically, this seems like a terrible idea, and will enable futher distancing between crime/action and responsibility.
I will not bother reading that article, sorry.
You’re definitely, definitely wrong. This is not true.

WhatsApp messages have E2E encryption by default, you can not opt out, and the keys (each message has a different one) are never sent to WhatsApp or anybody else.

Users may OPTIONALLY enable a cloud backup, which puts an encrypted backup on iCloud or Google Drive. WhatsApp (Facebook) holds the key for this, but not the data, and law enforcement would need the cooperation of Facebook and Google/Apple to access the messages.

But that is all completely opt-in. By default, messages are not backed up, contrary to what you said.

Full disclosure: I use WhatsApp but am eager to switch away from it a soon as Signal implements a local backup on iOS.
Everybody forgot about Hong Kong.

> The overwhelming majority of users of devices just want the value that a product maker offers.

Yes, because they don't know any better.

If all users knew how vendor lock-in affected the entire OX (ownership experience) in all its aspects, then perhaps they would choose differently.
Invest in defensive research.

"War is symmetric" is a fallacy. You often can't shoot back at who is shooting at you, but you can shoot at others.
Indeed. There is a reason why the ancient Hebrew laws dictated that every 50 years all debts are wiped away and all assets returned to their hereditary owners.
Ironic how the Gestapo and SS would have salivated over the technology and policy that's applied at the Palestinian border.
The terms whitelist and blacklist aren’t very precise. The better terms allow list, deny list or something that more concretely describes the auth model are actually helpful.
The beautiful part of these is they show exactly what happens with these types of files, in that only one of them implements the spec as linked.

“ Take the Israeli Border Control Sentry-Tech turret currently deployed along Gaza’s border. They were designed to prevent Palestinians from leaving the Gaza strip and entering Israeli territory.

Automated ‘Robo-Snipers’ set up along the Gaza border, designed to create “automated kill-zones” at least 1.5 km deep. But they aren’t merely robotic guns. The turrets feature heavy duty 7.62 calibre machine guns tied into a network spanning the entire border. If any turret detects human movement, the entire chain of guns can train their sights and concentrate firepower on the interloper. Some turrets are also able to fire explosive rockets.”

Literally created to destroy a population they already control at will. If this were China people would be up in arms, but because it’s Israel I have to make a private account to post comfortably.
Solar and off loading batteries from like Ambri is probably a good idea. Nuclear is great, but is simply annoying in every right despite being an existing "throw megawatts at it" solution that's also not spewing gas.
Is your viewpoint that you see any person killed in an armed conflict as a murder?
When did we become okay with people selling something other than a general-purpose computer and calling it a "computer?"
Same here. I miss my colleagues. But my preferred intensity of contact would be having a lunch together. Only my family should get 8.5 hours of my time every day.
One aspect that is not reflected in this format is that the site/company might have a specific routine for reporting vulns. When I happened to write to Node (iirc) about some potential problem, the mail was just redirected to HackerOne, converted to some kind of a draft, and I got an automatic response saying I need to create an account there. In true marginal-nerd fashion, I have some opinions on which of my email addresses go where, so the account remains uncreated and the problem unreported by me. And Node didn't specify anywhere that this reporting works through HackerOne.

(I also realize that this comment is probably not the right place to complain about the format, but eh.)
It's really important that actual humans are sent to war and die because it's the o ly think that makes us hesitate to go to war. Otherwise your in Ray Bradbury's distopia where wars are just rich countries slaughtering people in poor ones with no sense of hesitation. That's what drones represent: not skynet but man's inhumanity to man. Imagine wars being like action movies, watch the assassination live, tonight at 9!
I have the same as dri (docker run interactive) and dri_cwd so current directory only mounts intentionally (with dri_cwd)
Why do you need a banking license? There are lots of challenger banks that have no banking licenses. In between is a money transfer license and just dealing with anti money laundering and know your customer regulations. I don’t even think PayPal or square have a banking license. Neither does apple with their apple wallet cash functionality.

Israel has three hostile borders with a close to an active war going on (Lebanon, Syria, Gaza).
> It just seems clear to me that most Democrats have a hostile position to guns.

Yeah. Not all Democrats are against guns, but if you pick an anti-gun politician at random, that person is highly likely to be a Democrat. The fact that the jurisdictions with the most restrictive gun laws a pretty much always Democratic strongholds is further proof. IIRC, some had already effectively banned private gun ownership until some Supreme Court cases a decade or so ago.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-met-chicago-...:

> Does Chicago have the strictest gun laws in the country? It did after Mayor Jane Byrne pushed through the ban on firearms not already registered with Chicago police in March 1982. The city's ban lasted until 2010, when the Supreme Court struck it down by a majority vote of 5-4.
Yes I have. Very weird for you to assume I don't. I don't live in America, however I am constantly reminded of my country's (The Netherlands) colonial past (you know, the spice trading, genocide inducing, slave trading one) and the repercussions of that. My city's suburban neighborhoods are filled with people of lower class of all different types of ethnicities. I've done as much as I could in the last few years to emancipate them, and as such I have ran into these "language problems" before, even in Dutch, even in different places than tech.

To act as if our community does not have those issues, or to think that I do not have anything meaningful to say because I'm in an "armchair" doesn't make sense. I'm not American, I'm not speaking on behalf of African Americans, I'm speaking on behalf of myself and my own experience.

I don't necessarily think this will persuade you to think differently however, so yeah. Keep your opinion, but don't assume my circumstance based on your subjective experience.
>Borders are defended all over the world by conventional means.

I think you are wrong. most countries do a terrible job of efficiently- or even effectively- defending borders. I'm not making a political statement, but just look how many illegal immigrants get into US, EU, etc. Even Israel, which is relatively small, has to invest vast resources into maintaining their fences. Please note, i don't want to be dragged into a political discussion, i'm simply explaining why i think your are wrong.
