A lot of the criticism of go is a little bit like a guy who hates New York pizza saying “New York pizza sucks, it’s only 1”. Chicago pizza has 4 more inches which has been state of the art for years”

Sure, it’s different, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad, and if your criticism only focuses on one detail and leaves out the whole picture, no kidding you produce a harsh judgement.
I don't think the numbers for cement use by nuclear include the cement used for the sarcophagus at the end of the lifetime. But they should, if you want to talk about validity.

Probably not.

The use of plasma in industrial processing has enabled a lot of computer technology. It’s been well studied for nearly 100 years.

I have reasonable privacy online. None of my devices connect to google, except if I explicitly do so, which I do from time to time for a reason or other. None of my devices are even capable of connecting to Facebook owned domains, I have them DNS blocked.

JS off by default for all sites, no social media (except this site and one more that I run myself). I don't own a TV or any smart appliance whatsoever. No google assistant, siri, Alexa. None of that.

I buy things on Amazon. They know where I live and what I buy from them. They cannot show me ads because I let nobody show me ads.

All in all some people probably get some info about me, but the info collected on me is probably along the lines of what they were capable of getting in 2005. And good luck stitching it all together.

You can do a lot short of disconnecting. But you have to disconnect from the strip mall "internet". You can't wait on laws, because you're right, they have no incentive. You're the only one that does, so you have to do something about it, in your own life, for yourself.

That's pretty much the status quo for EVs now; the batteries are hundreds of volts and you can't easily remove it. Draining it isn't an option either, as it damages the battery to be fully discharged. So, you have to work on the car with a live voltage source present.

I'm not sure if most modern EVs have manual disconnect switches on the main power cables where they meet the batteries or if you're just expected to wear rubber gloves and use non-conducting wrenches to unbolt the cables. I'd expect any modern EV will at least have contactors to connect the battery to the motor controller (these are basically electrically actuated switches, like a mechanical relay), which will be disabled when the car is off. In general, though, I'd expect the main power cables to be something that doesn't need maintenance and mechanics can generally steer clear of.
Ruckus with the Unleashed firmware.

I bought an R610 AP on eBay a few months back, flashed it with the Ruckus firmware (legally available to all from their site), and it does exactly what you want. On-prem only, no cloud, one of the APs will act as a controller/manager for the others, and they can all communicate via wired or meshing off of each other. One of them can even be a NAT thing if you want.

I think I paid around $160 because someone had a bunch of off-lease ones. But if you look up anything that supports the Unleashed firmware you'll be good. 802.1ax is the hotness right now, so the slightly older (but still work great) ones are a LOT cheaper.

I replaced a Ubiquiti setup with a Ruckus R610 and small fanless running OPNsense (Protectli) with a basic switch and POE injector and it's excellent. Sure, it's not single pane of glass for it all, but the AP is rock solid and OPNsense is a solid known quantity. I've got no regrets.

I traveled to Hong-Kong right in the middle of protests and I actually felt much safer than in the US and my home country (France), and I am a white guy. It is ironic when protesters chanted "Hong-Kong is not safe", these people probably never went to the US or Europe, let alone Africa...

I mean just look at here: https://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/compare/Hong-Kong/... Basically safer by an order of magnitude.

It is not just the media, many western countries are unacceptably unsafe relative to their wealth and that includes the US. I mean, when you have to lock a bike with a lock that is heavier and more expensive than the bike itself, there is a problem. Going to low-crime country is always a pleasure and I would understand Hong-Kongers for refusing to leave for that reason.
Death or newsworthy illness is not my only concern. I'm also worried about stomach discomfort that prevents me from sleeping, repeatedly farting so loud the neighbors can hear it, and diarrhea that makes me have to rearrange my schedule to take a day off--things that happened to me recently due to being cavalier about food safety. That's not going to come up in the author's research, because I just took my best guess at the culprit and made a note to be more careful in the future.

Eat the pizza if you want, and most the time you'll probably be fine. But the author's depiction of the risk model (college students in body bags) isn't what I'm thinking about when I make the decision.

Have you tried Access Advisor in AWS IAM? It’s been out for a few years now and is specifically targeted at using “... last accessed information to refine your policies and allow access to only the services and actions that your entities use.”

Can you explain how IAM doesn’t work well with the “starting closed” approach? IAM authorization is “default deny” and every principal needs an explicit allow statement with the appropriate action before authorization will pass.
It's so sad that most dentists optimise for billable revenue, even at the detriment of long term patient health.

Fillings for example always degrade and need repairs after X years. Drilling and filling even the smallest cavity puts that teeth on a lifetime progression to bigger and bigger fillings, eventually a root canal, eventually an implant.

Cavities, on the other hand can be arrested (stopped), and if small can even be remineralised. Yes, most dentists don't tell you that!

Careful monitoring and patient education on the other hand can lead to permanently keeping that natural teeth, as our teeth are living and can heal.

My personal lived experience: a dentist told me I must fill 2 cavities six years ago. I got a second opinion. That dentist told me I should wait, focus on oral care, chew xylitol gum, and use a toothpaste with novamin.

Both cavities have "arrested" and need no restorative work.

Disclaimer: Not a dentist. Listen to your dentist you trust, and get second opinions if you have doubt.
I’m curious: looking at your posting history, are you at least being paid to astroturf pro-CCP propaganda, or do you do it for free? Could you give us some insight into how it works?
Yes. Early USB-C controllers had notorious issues with CC pins getting fried out by short-to-Vbus events, which could make the port work only in one orientation (or not work at all if you're unlucky enough to fry both CC pins).
Unsplash mostly served two groups:

To incentivize vaccine manufacturers to produce vaccines that are affordable to the general populace.

In the US you do still have some recourse for injuries caused by vaccination: "The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program is a no-fault alternative to the traditional legal system for resolving vaccine injury petitions.

It was created in the 1980s, after lawsuits against vaccine companies and health care providers threatened to cause vaccine shortages and reduce U.S. vaccination rates, which could have caused a resurgence of vaccine preventable diseases."

You’re changing the story to suit your own narrative. The Civil War in China is not over. And it was never settled.

Before this, the bully was the Taiwan government. Then they lost the mainland, and fled to Taiwan, where they got sheltered by the Americans.

And now, you’re saying that the government on the mainland is now the bully over little Taiwan.

But the fact remains, that the last stage of the Chinese Civil War is not over.

The key issue is the protocol seems to have no ability to associate with multiple BSS's together.

It's so nearly there. The power management stuff means that even with single a physical radio one can associate with multiple BSS's on different frequencies by telling one BSS to hold packets for you while tuning in to the other frequency.

All that's needed to make it reality is a way to tell a BSS "If I fail to ACK a link layer packet, please forward it via the wired network to this other BSS to send to me instead".

Then a client could be connected to multiple BSS's, send packets via either, receive packets via whichever one it is currently tuned into, and not lose any packets while switching.

I believe the WHO, CDC, and American College of Obstetricians are all recommending that pregnant women receive the vaccine. The ACO says that any claims of the vaccine causing infertility are scientifically unfounded.

As far as I know, the previous recommendations for pregnant women not to be vaccinated were due to a lack of clinical trials involving pregnant women and lack of data - not based on any scientific evidence of infertility.

It’s the same in the EU, at least regarding AstraZeneca

My opinion on why this is, is because these vaccines have been developed at breakneck speeds using a pretty new technique (mRNA). I believe we don’t know yet if there could be any long-term adverse effects. If there would be and lawsuits were allowed, it could instantly destroy the company, given how many people will be inoculated in the coming year(s).

The article casually and dismissively mentions living inside a Faraday cage... but can we entertain this notion for a moment?

If one is already building a new house from scratch, it would seem trivial to make the whole thing a Faraday cage while you're at it, no? Am I missing something?

Retrofitting an existing house would be harder, but still doable if one is committed to the cause, like a couple thousand bucks tops? (Guessing here.)

It doesn't seem that one would have to give up ANY actually desired functionality. Wired internet piercing the cage is not an issue, right? After that you can just have your own secured wifi inside. If one is okay with using VoIP for voice calls, the problem is now solved, yes?

Add a second AP outside if you also need Wifi in the backyard or whatever.
> Amazon has their Graviton processors, but they're not selling them.

Graviton2 is basically just an implementation of ARM's N1 design which uses a Cortex A76 CPU core. The single thread performance is better than like a Kirin 990, likely thanks to 32mb l3 cache and 8-channel memory controller, but it's not going to win any gaming performance crowns either.

The person I was originally replying to is the one who brought up washing machines as having general purpose computers inside them. It's not my comparison, it's me using their comparison to make a point. The point being, that because Alice bought a device that contains a microchip, doesn't entitle you to be allowed to sell software that runs on that microchip, and worsen her experience to do that. Like if Alice chooses to live in a gated community and pays someone to filter her mail, it would be obviously unreasonable to say "I object to gates, I should be allowed to post my fliers through her mailbox for free", as if that's your decision to make, not hers.

Oh, definitely a good example, I'm embarrassed I forgot that! I was part of the core FreePBX development team for a few years (before RasPBX was a thing), and eventually moved my home PBX setup to a Pi 1 running RasPBX, which I used for 4+ years.

Sadly, as our usage of the IP phones dwindled (cell phones, texting, and now conference software taking over), my significant other began evicting them from around the house ("too big and ugly"). A couple years ago, my instance was at the point I needed to do some major OS upgrades to it, and considering it was basically my office phone and a cordless left, I ended up retiring the Pi and PBX. Now I just register my last couple phones directly to my VoIP provider.

It looks like a Pi 4 can handle "dozens" of simultaneous channels (though depends on codecs used), and that would be my starting point if I got back into doing PBX work or deploying a system today -- though I'd probably run it from an SSD instead of SD card.

This is a great example of the benefits of the Pi hardware, too: People don't tolerate PBX downtime. With the Pi, it's incredibly cheap to have hardware for a failover server (try pricing that out on a commercial PBX!), and in an emergency you can run out and buy one locally or have it shipped overnight.

People watch for bad checks as well. Plenty of cash registers used to have example bad checks laminated on them, back when the modern financial system was still using IOUs like that.

You can make a lightning transaction, drain your bitcoin wallet before it verifies, and no amount of watching the chain will get the seller back whatever they traded you for that transaction. Just because you identify the fraudulent transaction before it finally verifies doesn't mean that the fraud wasn't committed. Same with bad checks.

I thought you were talking about 3P escrow, because watchtowers are even worse than escrow in fighting fraud, for reasons outlined above.

> If someone eats unrefrigerated pizza ten times without any Adverse Events, then in fact that's an experiment providing (admittedly crude) scientific data that, in fact, the chance of an Adverse Event is no worse than ~10%.

Except that the article posits one specific type of pizza where only really the tomato sauce and cheese could cause a problem.

Sure, if you get your standard pizza from Domino's with tomato sauce with preservative and synthe-cheese, it will probably stay edible for decades.

However, did you get fresh mozzarella on that pizza? Or did you order chicken?

Or, did you order something with ranch dressing which has both cream and mayonnaise? Room temperature mayonnaise (generally in picnic potato and macaroni salad) is one of the classic food poisoning sources.

There is a lot of variance here.
> I’m not even sure why a smart faucet would be appealing to any consumer

Very quickly off the top of my head I could imagine:

- measuring out the appropriate volume for the teapot and delivering at the ideal brewing temperature for the particular tea

- knowing that one family member likes drinking water ice-cold while another prefers near-room-temperature

- recognising that it's about to pour onto hands and reducing the temperature to below scalding

- choosing from various sources (tap, filtered, recycled storm-water) depending on use-case, to optimise supply costs, filtration costs, environmental impact etc.

It's annoying (from a privacy and security perspective) how 'smart'-ening even the most innocuous things can be quite appealing to the end-user, and how nasty (again, from a privacy and security perspective) the implementations that make it to market end up being.
