> Sites in the UK seemingly get banned by everyone as soon as the government requests it

I live in the UK this is not correct, these are voluntary agreements by ISP's and you can opt out of the default filtering.

I think the only time something has been blocked here it was due to a Court Order: https://www.virginmedia.com/help/list-of-court-orders
There's an easy solution for this:

1. Momentarily take off your VR headset.

2. Wipe your sweat using the towel on your neck

3. Put your VR HMD back on and continue working out

4. Repeat when sweat becomes an issue again in 30 minutes

> The headset will absorb the sweat.

Not if you add a silicone liner on top of the padding of your VR headset.

It seems like most of the pundits critical of using VR for working out haven't even tried it themselves
Drug testing is possible here in the US with overt criminalization.

Decriminalization is just marginally safer. Testing is a huge waste of resources unless its a stopgap towards recreational legalization with a reliable supply chain.
I got a decent headset w/mic, use it for Zoom, use it for cell phone as well when I am at home. Great improvement in what I hear, and what others hear as well.

On Zoom I look a little goofy with the phones on but better that than missing what people say and getting echoes.
I can still find the name in the App Store but if I try to click through nothing ever renders. Seems like it’s already gone.
If you don't have topsoil you don't have water retention and you don't have organisms and structure that avoids the need to till for aeration and mineral movement. That means the garbage soil we're left with must be watered from aquifers when it's not constantly raining, and we must till the soil then work in fertilizers, which wastes gas and time.

The path you say has "no cause for panic" is a path to cyclical famine in 50-100 years.
An enlightening article that explains why I think I am losing my mind every time I try to get the network configured correctly on any number of distros. My main take home is to never install NetworkManager or a resolvconf and to avoid systemd if at all possible, unless I absolutely know that I am going to need those state of the art DNS capabilities.

I have mostly managed to avoid resolv.conf issues since the default Gentoo image has a sane setup (even if using dhcp on a laptop and switching wifi and wired). However, every single time I have tried to set up a system using another distro something has gone wrong, and in support of the theory that NetworkManager is a major contributor to the problem the one Gentoo system with NetworkManager installed had the same issues.

To echo the plea in the original article, in nearly every case the primary challenge has been to figure out exactly what documentation actually applies to the system at hand because distros seem to change this completely out of sync with any attempt to correct or align the documentation.

I suspect that on an individual user level this leads to a happy path situation where everyone who does the right thing by accident is quiet and the ones who need something slightly different are never heard from because they weren't able to even connect to the internet (probably not quiet that bad).
I think you would be surprised how quickly and easily an attacker can automatically export vulnerabilities in web applications with programs such as Ffuf and SQLmap.
If this ever happened/happens anywhere, a great pastime would be to start sending streams of random data to people across the internet. Since random data is indistinguishable (theoretically) from encrypted data, I'm sure you'd waste a lot of the regulators' time. You'd almost force them to ban anything that _looks like_ random data, or give up on enforcing the ban on cryptography altogether.
Twitter bans James O’Keefe after major CNN bias exposé
I just bought it. The UX of the purchasing process was smooth like butter, with minimal amount of clicks, even with a link to your gmail with a magic search to find the confirmation mail. Pretty nice.

My honest opinion is that I'm a little disappointed with the content of the course itself, I feel like it's way too basic and offers too little insight as of now. But maybe more sections will be added later?

Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen any explanation of VIM's combination of verb and nouns? I think thats the most important part to understand when learning VIM.

Anyway, very cool product and a nice experience.

Every time I see this I realize just how little people realize what makes the world run around them.

Do they not realize that their worlds would cease to function without encryption?

Ask HN: Any Software Engineers here with diagnosed but unmedicated ADHD?
Are you diagnosed with ADHD and a software engineer, but you don't use any medication?
In that case, how do you survive? Is that even possible?

I have no access to professional help nor medication until the end of this year, but I need to survive my SE job somehow...

Remarks:

I got fired from my last position b/c of my ADHD symptoms and cannot really afford to lose my job again.
The only differences b/w my current and my last position: no invasive time tracking software other than the obligation to complete tasks defined in the sprints (3 weeks per sprint) and limited social interaction as I work fully remote thanks to Corona. I started my current job at the beginning of this month, and I am worried that I will f' it up again (self-fulfiling prophecy?).
I just find it bizarre that one of the greatest minds of the 20th century starved to death, weighing 65 lbs, in late 70s Princeton. I realise there's no easy way to counteract someone determined not to eat, but it just seems like such a slow, painful and irrational way to die that it's hard to fathom (obviously driven by severe mental illness).
This goes to show how absolutely atrocious VAR is. Not only does it detect arms[1] as "offsides" in many cases, but in others it's blatantly wrong[2]. In [2], there's at least 2 (potentially 3) Alavés players closer to the goal line than Barça's offense.

I think most people who are interested in male/female equity would not tell you that men and women are identical.

Any measure along the lines of (1) comes to us through the filter of a world who narratives and institutions have been shaped around the abilities and preferences of men, such that it comes off as a little obtuse to use them to justify disparate outcomes, which is most often what is happening when this comes up.
Such a fitting username.
Can you explain all of the people who were living and farming here prior to the European invasion?

The land in the US is fertile. The prairies were incredibly fertile.
I don't believe that's accurate. The main issue or limitation of hydroponics/aquaponics is that many types of vegetables cannot be grown via the method. It's suited to leafy greens and not, for example, root vegetables.
I supported Macs in the mid-90s, so I heard a lot of chimes. IIRC the funky chord before the rest of the chime (you can hear part of one at the beginning of the IIcx example) carried actual diagnostic meaning. The one here, again IIRC (it's been a while) means "I have no RAM".
Niche Markets
What if an idea solves a problem but the market is so niche that it doesn’t attract a large market. Would investors just not be interested and would it be pointless to work on it?
Power!

I don't like this corruption, but there are many worse things our rulers could do.
> Firearms rights (at least in the US) were intended as protection from tyrannical governments more so than even self protection.

The same argument could also apply to encryption. That is, it can offer you protection from a tyrannical government in addition to protecting your information from criminals.
What is HTML and why is it relevant to SEO?
Please read the underlying documents and not this fearmongering. There is no such plan.

Just click the first link titled 'upcoming plans for communication surveillance' and actually read the document (or just CTRL-F 'encryption') to see how misleading this lobby letter is. It is a communication about child porn/abuse outlining measures for prevention, rehabilitation, etc. It doesn't say anything about banning encryption, just as one of many points it points out that increased encryption is making detection of child porn/abuse difficult and that government and industry should set up an expert group to discuss what can be done without breaking privacy.

So total bs article. I used to be a customer at mailbox but am right now very happy I moved away already...
I mostly use Zoom and Webex, but both have an option (usually accessed via a little arrow next to the mute button) to open settings. Both give you the option to choose which mic/speakers you want to use and both allow you to do a test record for a few seconds and then have it played back to you.

I know in Webex you get this option before you are connected to the actual meeting, but Zoom may have it somewhere else I haven't bothered to look for. I make a habit of testing my mic every time I connect to a meeting, just in case I mucked something up or there's some other issue I wouldn't have known about. It's a minute of checking to save several minutes of embarrassment and delay later on.

Comparing cryptocurrency to real estate is laughable. With real estate you have either a place to live, reducing a real world expense (rent), or an income producing property. No matter how much you dress up cryptocurrencies as stocks, by using terms like market cap, you are not buying a share of an income producing asset. You're speculating on a digital collectible. You can speculate on real estate and stocks, but you can also invest in them.

You don't ban the tools, but you hold up dissidents that refuse to hand over their keys in prison as contempt of court, that is what happens in the UK at the moment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_disclosure_law#United_King...
A lot of what you're saying is hard to take seriously, because it's just plain bizarre. A complete refusal to use email for any purpose is pretty unusual to begin with, and even more so for a participant on a technical forum like this. Publicly complaining about the consequences of that decision is another layer of strange behavior. It seems like you're putting a lot of effort into not communicating effectively, so you really should expect people to have trouble taking your statements at face value.
I don't understand this argument. They use food and water, too. And roads. We never talk about banning those, because the benefit to society is greater than the risk.
You can't go by upvotes alone. Indignation attracts them. Indeed, indignation generates more upvoteage than intellectual interest does—such is how we're wired. The job of moderation is to have someone paying enough attention to nudge the system out of the failure modes it gets into by default.

Many good comments are short, but short + indignant + inflammatory equals flamebait, which is not good. Also, generic tangents are not good, i.e. taking the thread away from the specifics of the story into something else which is more generic and therefore more repetitive. Worst of all, generic ideological tangents are basically always flamebait. I'd say the comment at least dipped a toe in that.

Governments can ban anything through denying infrastructure. Think alcohol regulations, you can say that “are they going to ban chemistry” but as it turns out they can indeed ban chemistry. You can distill alcohol at home but if you want to do business through any infrastructure that’s possible thanks to the existence of the government(legal systems, banking etc) you will have to ask for permission despite the fact that the government doesn’t have any influence over the laws of nature.
Index funds being illegal just means they're illegal for the poor and middle class. Any person with sufficient wealth could construct a personal index fund manually by buying the individual stocks. You would probably need millions to make this a worthwhile exercise.

Somewhat related, I really want to see someone offer some kind of customizable index fund. Let me start with a base index, and then exclude or include companies at will. e.g. start with the S&P 500, kick out companies like Exxon and Facebook and add in Tesla (pre inclusion), while the service auto weights investments appropriately.

Doesn’t even need to be encrypted; It could just be random data. Sufficient encryption is indistinguishable from random noise.
Perhaps, but REAPER is none of those things.
You own private key. Public key is your identity. Public key could be linked to facebook, twitter, github accounts, etc, so you can easily discover or verify people.
I can think of a very obvious one, identify and refuse to send messages that the client app decides are child porn. No intrusion.

Or perhaps add a counter to the account when it's detected. Minimal intrusion, single flag defining the message.

You don't need to mitm things to implement _some_ mitigations.

Before the inevitable - a method that is not 100% reliable in stopping something is not useless. Otherwise we may as well make it as easy as possible to share child porn because it wouldn't make a difference.
Yeah - this linked article is total bullshit, at best it's misleading political spin arguing in bad faith.

I think when we something that plays right into an existing confirmation bias it's important to be extra skeptical of its claims to offset that.
This is fucking unreal.

How do you think so many people on government salaries become super rich, whilst supposedly working for the government?
Mine was. It had a pool table in the entrance too. I used to go to the gym on a Saturday morning to sweat out the hangover and chat shit with the others doing the same.

My friends was. It was a grotty thing in the basement. It was primarily about the equipment. It was a lifting gym. The folk that went there would hang out, help each other, and talk plenty. They all had a common interest: lifting. They also thought people like me in my gym above were posers. That’s fine too.

Not everyone uses a gym the same way. Not all gyms are the same.

They aren't, that's the simple answer.

I can't say I've ever heard that, anywhere.

The settlers had every opportunity to learn local farming practices from the Native Americans.

Instead, they did everything in their power to force their farming practices onto the land where they occupied.

Native Americans farmed. They farmed different crops that were actually suited to the local biome.

I think this pattern of exponential growth of human beings is a curse of their intelligence. All other animals end up being controlled by these large ecosystem dynamics because they can't adapt and/or do group work sufficiently. Species with this property are easily influenced/controlled by large scale dynamics.

Maybe, a species with more intelligence than us wouldn't grow so fast and unorderly because they can see the future consequences of their own dynamics more easily. We just happen to not deal with large temporal scales very well.
I'm not sure how to check my criminal record. Last background check by Amazon was clear. I've never even got ticked for jay walking. I tried googling my name and nothing came up. Pretty sure I have to pay for a company like ADP to do a background check on me. I think background checks usually happend post offer.

I've tried applying to some smaller companies who might be willing to take a risk on me. Haven't had any better luck with those. I live in the south, there aren't a lot of tech companies local to me. Just oil/gas companies.
I sooo disagree. Mispricing could be leaving massive value on the table plus increased margin can allow you to pay more for user acquisition.

A bit interesting that he reacted with:

> about 20 of these in-person interviews going poorly ... it seemed like everyone I interviewed with was a caricature of narcissism and delusions of grandeur.

instead of reflecting over if maybe maths is actually on topic for a data science job.

It's also odd, I think, that the companies didn't ask some probability questions in a phone screen, saving time for him and themselves.
Ah sorry about that. The course is aimed more at people new to vim.

Good feedback around needing better explanations of the verbs and nouns. I try to teach it through the examples but maybe I could add a better explanation :)

I think in the future I’ll add more lessons but it might be a while.

I’d be happy to refund you or upgrade you for free (when the new lessons are available) if you want to email me. My email is at the bottom of the vim home page.
I googled "hydroponic potatoes" and I kid you not, the first words in the results were "Potatoes are one of the easiest crops to grow with a hydroponics system".

I've also had grown and eaten hydroponic potatoes myself and they were great.
I do actually wonder if the FIRE movement will come under criticism in the coming years. Does the economy still work if too many people are checking out of their careers in their 30s and 40s?

According to another poster, there were in fact here other proposals and crypto was a small part of it. And that small part was, quoting the text:

> One of the specific initiatives under the EU Internet Forum in 2020 is the creation of a technical expert process to map and assess possible solutions which could allow companies to detect and report child sexual abuse in end-to-end encrypted electronic communications, in full respect of fundamental rights and without creating new vulnerabilities criminals could exploit. Technical experts from academia, industry, public authorities and civil society organisations will examine possible solutions focused on the device, the server and the encryption protocol that could ensure the privacy and security of electronic communications and the protection of children from sexual abuse and sexual exploitation.

So -- you may say that you know that this project is hopeless and a foregone conclusion. But will every politician trust that -- or will they make a panel of experts to explore solutions and tell them for sure that you can't meaningfully limit encryption in the first place, and even if you did you can't do it without violating privacy, as is presumed here?

Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to technical ignorance.

Agriculture also reduces the root depth as crops are harvested fast and regular iterations. This was a large cause of the Dust Bowl issue. There was a great post on this on reddit that has photo for reference. [1][2][3]

Cover crops help this now to prevent Dust Bowl like conditions and bad soil where possible [4].

Side note: Most carbon capture also happens in the root of wild grasses and plants. It isn't just agriculture but all our landscaping types that prevent root depth. We need more trees, and more wild growing but we cull it all back for the Stepford style perfect landscaping. HOAs in Arizona for instance hate wild grass and wild flowers, but they capture more carbon and can look amazing. Planting trees and plants that are more natural with deeper roots can help climate change and help the Gray-Green divide that highlights inequality on the amount of green in urban areas [5].
