Power leads to the creation of more power. History is the guide to verify this. However, things changed with the internet/tech... They have changed in ways we have a difficulty grasping as society. It might be the sides with power using their tools, to make a path to remain/grow power.
Even on the spectrum of internet misunderstandings, this is such an outlier that I'm at a loss for what to tell you.
> In the post-truth age, the ability to spot fakery is obviously a positive development

I like how they call the modern world. Though, I'm not sure what time in history can be called "truth age".

You are way off. The entire Ethereum blockchain is approximately 6 TB. Even a pruned version is over 400 GB.

There is no specific cost for storage, only gas for execution. For dynamic storage the SSTORE operation stores a word (256 bit). It costs 20,000 gas when the value is set from zero to non-zero, 5,000 gas when the value is set from non-zero to non-zero, and it provides a refund of 15,000 when the value is set from non-zero to zero. This is the only way to make data readable by contracts and thus light clients.

There is also the option of storing as code, which cannot be updated. There's the 32,000 gas paid for the CREATE and then 200 gas per byte for the code. This is much cheaper at 6,400 gas per 32 bytes.

So deploying a 128 byte string assuming a gas price of 100 GWEI and $1700 ETH:

32,000 + (6,400 * 4) = 57,600 gas

57,600 gas * 0.000000001 ETH (1 gwei) * 100 gwei * $1700 = $9.79

This would just store bits, it wouldn't be a valid contract you could actually call.

Or you could write your data as the parameters to a contract call at a price of 4 gas per zero and 16 gas per non-zero..

You would be able to read data stored this way off etherscan.

I'm not including the base 21,000 gas you have to pay for any transaction.
Countless times when I was a kid (and sometimes now) people thought I lied when I was innocent because of timidity (and not diagnosed but maybe on the spectrum), so yeah I was unsettled. Uncontrollable smiles were the worst ("that makes you laugh!"). I can’t blame neurotypical people for having heuristics, but I’m still afraid to be interrogated in something serious with my reactions analyzed.
> Does a Taiwanese see that as an internal issue?

Up until 2000 election, Kuomintang still hold majority power, with brief resurgence during 2008 election after DPP tried to separate Taiwan identity from China proper. The party position is generally unchanged: that they consider themselves the true government of China.

DPP's position to ignore one-China conundrum historically met with skepticism from industrialist and labor population, since a clear separation between two entities would mean a substantial damage in economy. DPP only regained their votes in 2016 after softening their stance on independence. And they're [slowly losing trust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Taiwanese_presidential_el...) from swing voters, again.

So, yeah. Until Taiwan could make up its mind about their national identity and cross-strait relationship with Mainland China, it's still an internal issue.

> say Trump won through an obviously fraudulent election, and Hawaii no longer wanted to be a part of America (rightfully so!), and the Chinese military was protecting Hawaii from being ruled without public consent, I would very much be happy about this Chinese fleet.

That's a wildly different analogy. Imagine instead, that while the last election result is contested, a mob successfully storm the Capitol and reinstate Trump in his second term. Biden flee to Hawaii and declare the state as US government in exile.

Fast forward 30 years and nothing really settled between Republican in US and Democrats in Hawaii because diplomacy is hard and both refused to negotiate (one had the power while the other had the legitimacy).
And then China started to put their fleet because Blacks, Native American, and "Hawaiian" is oppressed.

How would you think that would affect those people's future?
That, or I'm shopping for someone else to recommend it to them.

Where Amazon's got a major problem is that the counterfeits and the perception that any negative product experience might be the result of that, makes it increasingly less likely that I and others, go to Amazon looking for that product.
is it de-googled? there is nothing about it in the features list, and the FAQ mentions the option of switching between using gooogle and graphene servers for things like the connectivity check, suggesting that people want to keep using google in order to "blend in".

it is neither clear that these switches cover ALL ways that android has to send data to google, nor that there is any desire to remove all of them.

the old FAQ apparently had this text (found that in a forum discussion):

GrapheneOS leaves these set to the standard four URLs to blend into the crowd of billions of other Android devices with and without Google Mobile Services performing the same empty GET requests. For privacy reasons, it isn't desirable to stand out from the crowd and changing these URLs or even disabling the feature will likely reduce your privacy by giving your device a more unique fingerprint. GrapheneOS aims to appear like any other common mobile device on the network.

that text has been replaced with:

You can change the connectivity check URLs via the Settings Network & internet Advanced Internet connectivity check setting. At the moment, it can be toggled between the GrapheneOS server and the standard Google servers used by billions of other Android devices. This can be used to blend in with other Android devices, both with and without Play services. Changing this to the Standard (Google) mode will use the same URLs used by AOSP and the stock OS along with the vast majority of other devices

there is more here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/general-about-grapheneos....

a forum member claims that:

Connections of android location services to get GPS constellations were shown before to send sim card imsi and connected cellular tower id to provider (qualcom/google)

Graphene still allows those connections

Android services make other weird connections. Example: AOSP dialler app is querying phone numbers against online database leaking all contacts to google. How was this taken care of in graphene? Are all AOSP services/apps security-verified to not leak any data?

this suggests that while graphene developers do consider concerns about sending data to google, their goals are orthogonal to those of /e/OS, as Duval claims.

AI: Ghost workers demand to be seen and heard
To be fair, most billionaires aren't meddling as openly. You don't hear much about Musk or Buffet spending large sums of money on changing society to align with their political ideology.

Additionally, you should put Soros into the Hedge Funds billionaires group. I don't think there are many of those that "get a free pass", they're usually disliked.
I bet even if the stakes were "if I find out the number, you go to prison for one year" he wouldn't be able to.

My point was not that detectives are useless, interrogation does work wonders -- in some cases making the criminal confess, in others making the innocent confess to something he did not do.

My point was getting convicted based on some lie detection bullshit or just some confession alone is evil.

According to the article:

> Technically, it should be possible to suppress, for example, by reducing the image resolution, says Farid. But, by how much? This of course depends on many factors such as the type of device used for image capture, as well as the fingerprint matching algorithm employed. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to fingerprint removal.

Most of the history was "pre-truth age". By the intermediate value theorem there surely was a brief, infinitesimal period of "truth age". /jk

I guess the word "post-truth" means the lack of truth as an objective or goal, not the lack of truth by itself.
Why is it that cameras automatically add metadata to photos, anyway? If I go to buy a camera, what I expect it to do is take photos and that's it, not to add some data to the photos without asking me.

> > They won't find new equivalences on their own though.

> From Tate et al 2009:

> Better yet, because optimizations are allowed to freely interact during equality saturation, without any consideration for ordering, our approach can discover intricate optimization opportunities that compiler writers may not have anticipated, and hence would not have implemented in a general purpose compiler.

That's not finding new equivalences, it is finding known equivalences that are nested or composed. I suppose you could look at it as a form of unobfuscating the equivalences.
> This is an appeal to nature.

A moral system that would consider the vast majority of natural life to be immoral is dubious to me. It's not simply an appeal to nature, it is a particular choice for the way I think a moral system should be evaluated.

> How does "I like the taste of cows and milk" not meet your definition of greed?

Greed always refers to excessive consumption. If you go on an all-beef-and-milk diet, and slaughter hundreds of animals a year just to feed yourself, you are probably being greedy. But eating well-raised beef, in quantities that do not encourage others to find the most efficient ways of raising as many cows as possible in as little space, doesn't fall under my idea of greed.

A single dairy cow, if well raised, can give enough milk for a family of 2 or 3. With two cows, one can have a constant supply of milk by essentially having each cow produce a calve each year. The calves can be raised for a while and then sold on to a bigger herd or slaughtered for food. When the animal is slaughtered, as much of its entire body should be used, not just a few of its muscles. The cows would be kept well fed, warm over the winter, clean and free of diseases. In the warm months, every day they would be taken out to pasture and returned home.

Of course, this means that cow meat would be something that people should expect to eat a few times a year, not daily or weekly. The same would apply to most or all other farm animals. Overall, adding some extra efficiency from larger herds as well, meat could probably be consumed something like once a month, while still raising animals in good conditions. Milk and eggs can be consumed almost daily without forcing others to keep animals in inhumane conditions.

This is first time I see someone worry about trans in battered women shelter. It just sounds like one of these made up issues that actual domestic violence activists dont seem to care about.

Battered women shelters also dont always have exclusively female staff. They do lean more female afaik, but penis won't prevent you to work as lawyer, psychologist, security etc.

What that worry shows mostly is that whoever is creating panic about this one was never interested in domestic violence - nor even curious about it.

Can you point me to some operating breeding reactors? Especially in western nations? What were the reasons the few operational ones were shut down and not replaced?

For a while it seemed like it would be Japan since they were experimenting with a breeder reactor way back in the ‘80s.

We have very different expectations. I'd be pretty annoyed if I couldn't browse and sort my photos by date taken.
This happens a lot. You get some smaller image, or just the same one all stretched and blurry.

I can understand it for some small-time operators who don't have the resources or technical know-how. But for big-brand retailers etc they have zero excuses for only having one tiny 300x200 jpeg of something they are trying to sell!

Please give me some proper high-quality photos (that are over 1500px on a side and not jpeg'd to death) of the stuff you are trying to sell, ideally from multiple angles.

I would say he is looking more like Lenin than Stalin: Having some ideal in his mind that he will apply no matter what. And people giving him authority like a God, everything depending on his opinion.

Lenin had his perfect idea on his mind, that did not work in the real work, he exterminated most farmers that opposed its perfect system and made tens of millions of people starve, producing way less food than in the WWI(usually as you end a war your production goes up a lot). All because in his mind, it was perfect.

Stallman is in a similar position with some people venerating him and using him as Messiah of the Pure Free software movement. But no single man is perfect or omniscient.

Lenin was forced to give way or Russia would have collapsed 70 years before it did.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Economic_Policy

With free software we don't really need Stallman or any other gatekeeper. We(our team) have been using LLVM for a long time because of that.

Stallman is free to have the opinions he wants. People will just move on and use alternatives.
Yes, it is even mentioned on the web site and it also supports Total Commander plugins (IIRC Ghisler mentioned at some point that he's fine with other file managers adding support for TC plugins since it means there will be more plugins available).

Sadly it feature-wise it is very behind Total Commander, i use TC all day all the time and DC always feels like an unfinished alpha version of TC. It kinda reminds me of Midnight Commander vs FAR Manager with the latter being way more advanced than MC (though Windows only), but even then despite its lack of features MC still feels mature and is what i end up using on Linux despite preferring GUI applications.

Perhaps if i ever decide to switch to Linux as my main OS at some point i'll try to work on Double Commander myself and implement the stuff i'm missing. From what i can see it is written in Free Pascal and Lazarus which are my jam anyway :-P (FWIW the 64bit version of Total Commander is also now compiled using Lazarus so i hope at some point Ghisler releases a Linux version...).

Back in the day, on the Amstrad CPC, there was a way to duplicate the cursor, move the duplicate around on any part of the screen and copy any text below the duplicate to where the actual cursor was. I always thought that this simple but powerful feature was missing on modern computers.

The submission is not equivalent but clearly can help avoid having to move your mouse around. Still wish I didn't have to modify the original command as, very often, I realize that I want to copy the command's output after I execute it.
You really should check out Approxfun.jl and DifferentialEquations.jl. The julia ecosystem for this type of thing is incredibly well developed. You get autodiff, auto-sparsity detection, auto-vectorization and more for free. Also, these tools leverage the fact that Julia is fast and has a good macro system so the code you generate is just normal Julia code, which can be used with any of the other tools of the language. Also multiple dispatch means that you don't have to use anything complicated to write this. Just write your equations "normally" and this all just works.

Your expectations don't gel with what actual users of these cameras expect. Normal users want this metadata to help with organizing their photos and help with post processing.

Wouldn't you need a reference picture to compare two cameras? Or would you be able to determine which camera took a specific picutre if you get hold of it and can take test pictures? Or can you just compare two completely separate pictures and determine if they are taken with the same camera? If you can then that means protestors/anarchists who intend on documenting what is going on and want to stay anonymos should buy a sort of "burner" camera that they do not use for anything else.

That might be a coincidence though. He didn't submit only Lodder's work & bio, but also that of others in tattoo studies.

From the article: We discovered he’d also taken magazine articles I’d written and added footnotes to them, stolen catalogue essays I’d authored, and taken other people’s work from old books and paraphrased it.

He might steal work from everyone but because Hipsters All Look The Same, Matt Lodder feels like that guy is copying his personality when they've just read the same magazines and books and then selected the same tattoos out of the catalogue.
