> That said we have to realize as a whole that our current way of living is not sustainable and will result is us screwing over future generations that will have to live in an incredibly polluted, and ecologically damaged planet. We have to use our intellect and capacity of achieving anything we put our mind towards and take real, meaningful steps to solve this problem. Before it's too late.

This is what humans have been doing for a long time. The problems were just much more acute for the next generations. Until very recently, most humans were born into scenarios without good shelter, solid water supplies, solid food supplies, general safety, or any medical protection from trivial things like infection let alone anything more complicated.

What’s happening here is this poor Chinese fisherman are still dealing with the acute issues (feeding existing family, etc) so the trade of returning home empty handed vs breaking boundaries is too difficult for them to come out on the right side of.
Wow so this person has been running this site for so many years, paying bills, answering god knows how many idiots and even getting close to trouble with 3 letter agencies and senators for absolutely nothing.. hats off to you sir, any other person would have thrown in the towel a long time ago.

Also i feel little bad you didn't get any money out of it whether the site was designed to make money or not. It would have been a wonderful end to the story if you got something back for all the years of hardwork you put into running it. You do have my appreciation if that means anything though.

P.S. this story is very similar to rawgit which was a wonderful site but also fell prey to malware aholes.

Apple's 30% cut suggests to an untrained observer that for every seven hours of coding you do, they could do three hours of verifying that your app is not a scam. What happens instead is, I guess, robo-verifier spends 2 milliseconds. Ka-ching!
Exactly. I've been kicking around for about 20 years or so. This list captures many things I've found set great developers apart from the pack. With few exceptions [0], people who only bring amazing engineering skills will be held back without some ability in these areas. That said, this isn't the sort of thing people should see as a checklist. Rather they're skills you should keep in mind and always seek to improve upon regardless of where you're at.

[0] The exceptions are generally people with deep expertise in domains where that's a rare attribute

I've learned 80% of what I know about Javascript, Typescript and React from one dude on my team who was freshly out of university. The dude was (and still is) a damn genius at that stuff.

You need a strong military to enforce rules between countries. Bodies such as the UN and WTO just aren't strong enough to do much if anything beyond a press release. Even if those international bodies were strong enough, I do not feel that they are immune to corruption.

In reality, Argentina would either need to buy or build a respectable navy (too poor), OR publicly ally with the US AND petition that the US Navy enforce Argentina's territorial rights (the US military and its navy are overstretched already).

This is Key, coming from someone who is guilty from this myself, but also are in a relationship with someone who us completely opposite and has a 100% focus on their work and academic field. For most of us, being really good at a job simply requires 100% focus. If that is your aim, then make sure the other things you do in life help you relativt and be ready for a new day.

For me, I've realized that I dont have it in me to be 100% focused on one thing, which is great - then I can manage my expectations and goal, however I still try to be mindfull and not try to do to much.

What you're describing is the modern post-vatican II Catholic fasting tradition. If one follows specifically the Russian Orthodox fasting rules strictly, you'd be approximately vegan for half of the year (every wednesday and friday, as well as lent, apostle's fast, dormition fast, nativity fast, a few others sprinkled in, etc). On a conventional strict fast day (other than e.g. Clean Monday in lent where you eat nothing at all) you'd eat no meat, dairy, wine, or oil. Some of these fasting days (such as when a feast day happens to align on what would otherwise be a fast day) are loosened to be "fish days" when you are allowed to have fish (but not meat).

So maybe it was intended to mock the Christian tradition of eating fish ... but like... unless the Thursday was during Lent or another major fasting period, if you weren't a monk you could already eat Fish that day? It doesn't seem too much like the Discordian tradition of eating Hot Dogs on Friday, as an attempt to roll up as many possible religious taboos at once (Halal, Kosher, Catholicism, and Bougies who are grossed out by hotdogs)
A safety override in the military is a safety feature in itself.

Why do you use Linux instead of BSD? It's the same question.

Some potential reasons for using FreeBSD:

It's the same three firewalls forever, not a progression of different firewalls.

Old knowledge still works, for example, netstat is still the way to list socket connections and ifconfig is still the way to configure interfaces. I did some work with FreeBSD in 1999, and then nothing until 2004, and all the knowledge transferred, then in 2011 I changed jobs and skipped ahead several versions, and again all the knowledge transferred. But I kind of stopped using Linux heavily in 2013, and when I had to work on it at work in 2016, all the tools had changed, so I had to relearn (or just avoid the Linux part of my job, which I had the luxury of doing).

Official kernel support for ZFS.

Receive side scaling support is nice, if you need it; although I guess not a lot of people do.

Different positions on philisophical arguments like an integrated source repository with the kernel and the base userland software, or init systems.
That has nothing to do with an HTTP header. See for yourself:

On the last day of the month, do you get to keep as much lithium as you can carry home? I'm not sure how we can make a joke about conflict minerals.
There's a lot more helpful info you can return, too. Try https://ifconfig.me. Works great in bash scripts too, as it only returns the IP when called with a curl user agent.
The examples, as I would expect of the phrase in context, have a dismissive tone that reframes the question as an assertion. It's usually a pretty innocent faux pas, and can feel natural to say, so it can be hard to catch oneself in it, but I try not to say things like "simply X" or "just X" when explaining or asking things, in an effort to keep a neutral tone.

Is that the point being made here? I don't know.
Yea, syncing work across multiple teams is a pain in the ass.

There really aren't any good solutions for that, only bad and worse ones...
The idea that the Bolivian transfer of power was motivated by lithium scarcity doesn't make sense, because there's more than enough lithium outside of Bolivia (or even South America) to prevent them from gaining a stranglehold on the price. Also, you're accusing the Trump administration of having a long-term view of a low-carbon future, which is itself suspect.

What makes a lot more sense is that the US doesn't want China to gain a reliable and possibly even prosperous ally on the South American mainland. While Bolivia will not meaningfully affect the global supply of lithium, the demand for lithium will absolutely affect the economic future of Bolivia, and could even make it a regional power. With the Second Cold War increasingly going global, every square on the chessboard counts.

However, the evidence for US involvement in the overthrow of Morales so far consists of a strongly worded letter from OAS, while the fact that Morales actually lost a referendum asking if he should be allowed to run for a fourth term suggests that there was significant internal opposition to his reelection. But Elon Musk made a tasteless joke on Twitter, so that confirms it.
Based on my experience as a web developer working with many designers over some 20 years of design trends, here’s the problem:

Default styles aren’t pretty.

That’s it. They’re superior in every other way. You always know what to click, you always know what an element will do, how it behaves, the UX is consistent with your OS, etc. Default elements are fantastic.
So a system that relies on people being altruistic can work fine as long as people feel good about being altruistic?
Well, now it's flagged so much that it actually is removed. I can only read "[flagged]".

>> I already know republican types in rural areas that even want to get the Cybertruck

I call BS on that, of the many many many Truck owners I know maybe 10% have any interest in the Cybertruck... Of that 10% none of them use their truck for work or as an actual truck

The CyberTruck is targeting Late Gen X and Millennials the grew up with 80's and 90's movies with nostalgia, not a practical usable truck

How to Make Oat Milk. Best and Easy Recipe 2021
Yeah, the 10x debate always seems to be just a disagreement of terms. Are we talking about junior engineers shoving lines of code through the JIRA backlog with no negotiation over what the most effective things to be working on are? Probably not 10x variance, and if there is, maybe they're cutting corners on process.

Are there people who say "I propose we subtly adjust the product in this way which saves us 7 person-months of development effort and 2 months in time to market while delivering 90% of the original proposal's value?" Yeah, there are, and I don't understand why we pretend that can't be a thing.
It provides an electronic and secure mechanism to store your private keys and sign transactions, while retaining confidence that your private keys will not be compromised while using the device. Think of it like a YubiKey. It’s not all that different.

It also enables you to export those private keys so that you can keep a backup in the event of a hardware failure, because all hardware eventually fails.

It doesn’t lock you into their platform / ecosystem exclusively. It doesn’t prevent you from using that backup elsewhere.
If you found this interesting, I highly recommend the book Street Fight by Janette Sadik-Khan. She was the Commissioner of the NYDOT, and she was able to make really meaningful improvements by looking at relatively easy, low-cost solutions that didn't require enormous political capital. Things like expanding the sidewalk at corners out into the lane where cars are parked, which reduces the length of crosswalks and lowers pedestrian injuries. It's not just an interesting book about transportation infrastructure, it also really has some great lessons for startups about finding ways to make change in large, hairy systems where many of the participants don't want change.

Great list. I would add to it the point that to an extent, the contradiction is simply an artifact of our chosen system of scientific method/analysis, which favours decisions over philosophy (albeit for necessary practical purposes).

e.g., the way p-values are used to make crisp binary decisions via arbitrary thresholds, rather than simply mentioned and left to the reader to interpret their meaning as an exercise in philosophy.

I think the point is to prevent middleboxes (eg. caching proxy servers) from interfering with the request. Otherwise I don't really see the issue with the ip address being affected by X-Forwarded-For. You can just... not specify the header.

I'd generally say this is good. Companies with a lot of experience with their process don't seem to realize that the process doesn't stop when they have alienated the candidate, they just start to get bad market information in exchange for good market information.

> The "idea" of a table is an object that provides a level surface to place stuff on.

You surely wouldn't call a boulder sticking out of the earth "a table", even if it did have a conveniently level surface to place stuff on? The point is that what we call "a table" is not just about function - it's also about form.
FIRE is a joke if you care about bipartisanship.

I know a lot of faculty who have been attacked or even fired for "left wing" research and FIRE hasn't spread a peep. Heck, I know people who've been put on blast by Hannity and received death threats from strangers and had their students call them slurs in legally protected channels just because the kids know they can. Silence from FIRE.

Theyve said previously that the reason they mostly stay out of the 2nd amendment is that there's already a well funded organization that has made the 2nd their sole focus. The NRA's budget is larger than the ACLUs.. so it makes sense for them to prioritize other constitutional issues.

You misunderstood my point:

Made in USA != all parts made in the USA. Kinda like how "Made in the USA" cars/trucks are often 90% made overseas then sent to the US for final assembly to earn that sticker.

I'll ignore the fact that the very first link in your computer URL is Apple, which does not have a 100% made in the USA product.

The second computer company in your link is Digital Storm. They use MSI boards which are made in Taiwan and China.
I thought you meant all textbooks, my bad. If this is just about high school then I mostly agree wrt to the amount of waste.

I think the solution would have to come down from the top however, in the UK at least the way our exams are marked means using an old textbook could be a fairly dangerous affair without an astute teacher (due to the ridiculously anal markschemes and philistine syllabus, this does bite people)

Almost certainly not. A lot of people here seem to be convinced that, even if you can afford (admittedly expensive) health insurance, you're one slip on a banana peel away from bankruptcy. One can doubtless dredge up horror stories of one sort or another but they're circulating stories for a reason. (What is true is that people who can't work because of illness have an issue of income not coming in but that's somewhat separate from the healthcare costs themselves.)
I agree, this is the only effective solution.

As a network operator, you would be surprised how many AS operators are hostile or simply don’t respond. It’s unfortunately very common, even Tier-1’s are hostile.

Out of the last month, I sent out 191 abuse reports, of which 10 got replied to, 2 were resolved 6 were “no f** off” style, and 2 were told “can’t fix / won’t fix / don’t know how to fix”.

I’m not just referring to Chinese ASNs either, some US Telco’s, German, Australia even.

i understand that you describe a consistent and logical model. Unfortunately it has nothing in common with the reality i know. In one case it was a large labrador - a lot of muscle on hit back neck - so he got an inch deep wounds, a lot of stitches and drainage for a week, in another case it was Chihuahua - not much tissue - so he ended up with a series of surgeries on the bones and cartilage in his shoulders.
Is it possible that in the circumstances, they can't find their nests? I assume that normally all the birds don't fly off all at once, so maybe that makes it easier to find their nests - perhaps they remember whose nests are next to whom (or is that too complex for birds?)- but when all the birds fly off at once then it becomes impossible to find one's own nest?

Universities are hardly right-wing institutions that fire academics for left-wing research, quite to the contrary "academics" too often engage in indoctrination instead of teaching students to engage a subject to mastery.
