I have collected stamps as a kid and I have been collecting Postal History for decades on and off, focusing mainly on research and writing up the covers that I have managed to collect. Kept me sane during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Philately is not about 'chasing madly a missing stamp', but a journey for those interested in history, especially local history. It is still a great hobby and to anyone interested to start, start from buying a small collection. Most collectors will either buy from a dealer, but most often from an auction. See https://stampauctionnetwork.com/ as an example. You can build a collection with very little money or spent hundreds of thousands.

It inspires me to hold an old letter (cover or wrapper in philatelic jargon), that has travelled through a ship across continents and has survived for 200 years and now is in my collection. Pre-stamp letters go for very little, especially North American, British and really for a song for most European countries.

The bitcoin of the early eighties was 'getting into hard assets'. Lots of funds invested into stamps and drove prices to levels that collectors couldn't buy. They burnt their fingers, while collectors waited. It is still a huge market possibly 3-5 billion USD a year. As an investment I would not recommend them, but as a nice indoor hobby and to socialize outside your own circle is worth it.

If there is another piece of data that can be used in the same way as the password (or to override/reset the password) then it is completely equivalent to the password itself from a security perspective.

If you can lose the password, what prevents you losing both the password and this secondary key at the same time? If you store them in separate places, then just store two copies of the original password in those two places.

You could do it with like an Arduino and any kind of button. There are tons of examples of using an Arduino to run a keyboard's firmware.

Another project i've done was with a Rasberry pi. A benefit of that would be that the system is self contained. Their Python GPIO library is one of the easiest i've ever worked with and you could have it easily launch Chrome or Firefox programmatically and play audio without a monitor.

I hope you won't mind my responding in detail with what I think about this; I am passionate about this topic.

Tolkien deliberately removed references to prayer and religion in his fantasy world to avoid two potential traps: by showing a fictional religion, he would risk contradicting his faith; by explicitly loading scenes of Christian prayer into his fantasy, he would undermine the quality of the fiction with "allegory," thus undermining his own message by making it unpalatable to audiences.

What I am referring to when I talk about the spirit of Christianity that infuses LotR is not any explicitly allegorical meaning, but -- following Tolkien's own quotes to this effect -- different pieces that are left here and there in the text.

For example, for Christian readers of Tolkien, different aspects of Christ are typically understood to be found spread across the figures of Frodo, Gandalf, and Aragorn. Other Christian elements in the text include Gandalf's advice to Frodo to spare Gollum, and the fact that his mercy is ultimately what saves the quest; Gandalf's return from the dead, reborn and cloaked in the kingly majesty of white; the lore of Sauron as a fallen elf, tying him to the devil, who is also referred to as "the enemy" in Christianity; the way the ring gives earthly power but drains the soul, whereas sacrifice and hardship seem hopeless at the time, but have true power in the end, etc.

If you want a pretty good idea of a believer's perspective on this, there's a fairly good article by Ignatius Insight [1], but I don't know how persuasive it will be to someone who rejects the underlying premises.

I guess it depends on your definition. I can think of many examples that are self replicating in some sense, but probably not in the same way as a bacterium.

A 19th century machine shop is probably capable of self-replicating, with metal as an input and a human 'catalyst'.

A crystal is self replicating in a way.

> In addition to site-blocking and search engine de-indexing, courts should also be able to order online service providers to prevent infringing content from being re-uploaded, or to suspend or terminate access to infringing customers.

Does this mean the courts would permanently terminate someone’s access to the Internet? If so, why stop there? “You used this electricity to power your computer and this water supply to stay hydrated during your criminal activities, so we are banning access to both for life”.

It’s also chilling to see deindexing from search engines proposed. Canada has free speech problems already, for example recently with a parent being prevented from speaking to the public about his situation (https://thefederalist.com/2019/04/24/father-gagged-found-gui...), where he wants to stop his daughter (a minor) from receiving life altering procedures without his consent. That suppression of speech is authoritarian enough, but in the future I could see this proposed anti-piracy law setting a precedent for deindexing news, opinions, studies, and other content that run afoul of their ever-expanding definitions of “hate speech”.

There is some work in progress to make it easier to tell Cargo to build `core`/`alloc`, which in turn would allow projects to maintain patches atop them like disabling floating-point or oom-panicking APIs entirely.

As an individual what can I do to most effectively stop this bullshit? The constant overreach and expansion of IP law disastrous for humans. I want it to stop. Who do I donate to? Where do I march? I want to effect real change.

I'm increasingly uncomfortable keeping my head down about this. It needs to be addressed, this concern needs to be signal-boosted somehow among the majority of people who just don't fucking give a shit. People shouldn't be okay with this. Most people are completely oblivious to the second and third order effects that are hurting them as a result of the INSANE IP laws that are on the books now. Is there any hope for real change? I'm ready to start donating some double digit percentage of my income for a start. My time too.

I believe the instance goes away. If you've persisted data to EBS, you can attach the volume to a different instance. Anything outside of EBS is lost. However, if you created an AMI (AWS Machine Image), you can launch a new instance from that. (but it's a snapshot, not a live image, so it'll be only as up to date as it was when saved)

You grossly misunderstand SPACs if you think they shoot up at least 4x on announcement & hype.

This is a very rare phenomenon, and even with the most prominent SPAC sponsor (Chamath), of his current 4 SPAC deals that are post-DA, only 1 has exemplified what you characterize (Virgin Galactic's $55 ATH). The others have never broke $40 or above. This includes every SPAC he has been in the PIPE (5) with exception of 1 (NYSE: MP) which has broke $40.

Therefore, of the 9 post-DA SPACs that have had some form of association with the one of the most popular SPAC sponsors (Chamath), only 2 exemplify what you describe.

However, I do agree with the general premise of your comment. SPACs without founder and PIPE lockups are most likely destined to perform poor in the long term.

Is this a big scam? Considering the fact that most of the 130~ SPACs that have a DA do not fit into your characterization (most do not shoot up even 2x after LOI/DA announcement & hype, most sponsors have not cashed out - whether that be peak or not, most do not trade at $15 but rather way closer to NAV), I would be inclined to say they are not scams in that regard. I would say they are unfair rather than scams (most SPACs have a high % of founder shares, no lockup etc).

a replacement to `alloc` would define a `Box` structure and tag it as `#[lang = "box"]` but not define any crashy APIs. this would accomplish the goal, but is an annoying patch that `alloc` should work to obviate upstream

I have completely the opposite experience; brew would screw something up every other time I upgraded a package, and didn't cross OS updates very well at all. MacPorts has been rock-solid, possibly because it is more careful about making sure that ports have exactly the right deps.

It is worth noting that a lot of these tower in the park type developments were demolished and replaced with mixed-income housing due to the problems. NYC is probably one of the last places where many of them are still standing (for lack of money to develop them, and also because there are about 600,000 people on the NYCHA waiting lists). But there was a huge federal pot of money for doing this in the '90s and '00s and many authorities did so.

From an architectural standpoint, the difference is that the British homes front the street, whereas your lowrise homes are perpendicular to it, and the towers in the park are generally pointed inward, away from the normal street grid. This has pretty bad effects on crime, because it removes the "eyes on the street" effect from passersby.
Homebrew starts from the MacOS CLI apps provided through XCode. It's a usermode package manager built on top of XCode components. MacPorts builds everything from scratch, which grants more power and optimization opportunities, but comes with many, many more rough configuration edges to deal with.

The optimization opportunities for some packages are typically on the order of 2x-5x faster, which isn't enough to deal with the headache of extra config for a personal dev box. So, my rule of thumb is, unless I know exactly the performance trade off I am trying to take advantage of by going with MacPorts, I will be better served by using Homebrew. I will wind up spending more time fixing config then I will have saved on execution processing time.
However flawed our current measurement systems of IQ are, IQ is a monotonic predictor (i.e. its correlation with several measures of success is strongest with lineal functions that with functions with local minima). That is to say, better results on any IQ tests are good news.
Since the new breed of "data scientists" using R and Python dataframes replaced Excel "data analysts" they realized the "big" of big data hasn't disappeared and started hiring data engineers for developing and explaining the new big data platforms for stuff which didn't fit into their pandas dataframes.

Still, some call it medium data since this spans the range of higher gigabytes to lower terabytes. There are still couple of business problems in the petabyte scale, but they are probably so niche that they deserve a custom solution anyway.
Yeah, I think the world would be better off without ads altogether. Just allow people to search for what they need or want by themselves, that's enough.
Dennis didn’t get rich off the Oz trial. In fact, he was pretty penniless for a good two years after the trial, and he did not have the kind of fame that he could capitalize on (the judge in the trial had infamously called him a dim-witted young man). What started his road to vast riches was noticing that Bruce Lee films were popular, and starting a new magazine called Kung Fu Monthly that, even though it was a pretty primitive rag, managed to cash in on the fad.

"Making Artificial Intelligence More Intelligent When It Comes to Language"
I've distro-hopped for a few years, and I feel confident that I could answer your questions (even if that's not necessarily what you're asking):

>What distro is that based on? Indirectly mentioned by saying the Ubuntu apt repo is available.

It's based on Ubuntu, for the most part. You get apt and Snap, with flatpak out of the box, now.

> What's the DE based on? You certainly didn't create a new one. It looks like a reskinned KDE to me.

This distro is actually GNOME, with a large handful of shell extensions emulating the Windows look-and-feel.

> You mention how fast it is, and that the new release has been optimized for performance. How?

It's Linux. Even with all of the extras they pack on, memory usage is still under 1gig on most systems, with most also idling under 1% of CPU usage on the desktop. It's by no means the fastest distro I've ever seen, but it's snappy.

> Again, first impression is this is a great distro for my mom

Bingo!

I would usually recommend OpenMedia.ca but they seem not to have a position paper up on this yet. Still, I am bugging them about this and assuming they’ll take action.
That was always a short-term hack anyway. The limiting case is that spammers simply pay humans somewhere to continue whatever "abuse" was formerly automated, as currently happens with captchas.

‘Doxing is an effective tool for bad actors, because the internet can cough up a shocking amount of publicly available information about practically anyone.’ - https://www.wired.com/story/what-do-to-if-you-are-being-doxe...

The vast majority of doxxing does not require unauthorized access, social engineering or betrayal by an affiliated person. Instead, it’s almost always connecting dots between openly available bits of information and then packaging that information so as to direct and simplify harassment.

Frank is right, of course. Staying up to date with the tooling, best practices, and user expectations of the web requires an unreasonable amount of attention if making websites is only a small part of your service offering.

One reason I prefer frontend libraries like Vue and Svelte is they feel closer to the grain of the web (HTMLesque templates with JS and CSS sprinkled in), and provide a reasonable level of abstraction and magic. The learning curve and paradox of choice is also much easier to navigate than React especially for solo devs who aren't working on a huge app with a team.

>Most of the 'how to succeed' advice is a mix of survivorship bias with 'necessary but not sufficient' traits.

Plus a lot of rich-person-worship (1) and self-glorification (2).

(1) The press version: "Econ Tusk is rich, and he got there by working 22 hours a day, exercizing for 1 1/2hour, and taking a single 30 minute power nap. The secret of his success? Endless grit. It doesn't have anything to do with striking it rich by building a payment app as a regular nerd (that might just as well have gotten nowhere), and then diverting his efforts into media-friendly geek-wet-dream VC instruments that are perfect as opportunities of government contracts and subsidies".

(2) The interview/autobiography version: "How did I made it? I gave it all I've got, risked everything, and worked hard every day. Sure, it only 2 two years before we were bought and I made 100s of millions, working was mostly maginal helping our first employees in building the MVP, business meetings, bossing people around, and having the 'vision', the risk was minimal because I had an MBA and/or CS skills I could use to get a job anytime, and everything was paid by VCs anyway, but it was all grit I tell you".
I've literally just explained the difference to you.

From Google:

"Grit is the perseverance and passion to achieve long–term goals. Sometimes you will hear grit referred to as mental toughness."

"Conscientiousness is the personality trait of being careful, or diligent. Conscientiousness implies a desire to do a task well, and to take obligations to others seriously. Conscientious people tend to be efficient and organized as opposed to easy-going and disorderly."

They are not the same thing, though obviously the characteristics overlap.

People in creative disciplines can have 'high grit' but often very low conscientiousness and be successful.

As someone exposed a little bit to the music industry, I'm amazed by the level of determination people have in the face of rejection, and and at the same time, a lot of careless, inconsistent and risky behaviours in their life. Hard drug use, unstable relationships etc. - those are all 'low conscientious' things. But grit off the scale.

Tons of people are 'highly conscientious' and have little grit. Your bus driver, 12 year vet, never missed work? Probably highly conscientious, and likely low on grit. In fact, most working class people doing thoughtful and diligent, consistent work, but who have no greater goals or ambitions and avoid risk are probably low in grit.
