I'll take the bait. A drug being regulated by narcotics regulation does not mean that its use has to be completely forbidden. Just because Average Joe is not allowed to do something does not mean that there might not be professionals who are. Opiates for example are both regulated and used for pain treatment.

Any study with human participants has to go through an ethics review and the participants have to be both informed about the goals of the study, possible risks and consequences of the procedures and also have to take part voluntarily. (Regarding "consequences": a brain scan could e.g. show a medical condition and having knowledge of that condition would mean that the participant would have to state this as existing condition in the future whenever they wanted to sign up for health insurance for example. So: it is complicated!).

The Helsinki Declaration contains ethical principles on human experimentation if you want to have a look:

Why not just use android on such phone, and remove google dependencies?

Android is open source. Android is already using linux. I really don't get it. I wish somebody could answer this question with convincing arguments, because writing another mobile OS doesn't seem like a trivial task.
Mining some Unobtainium from the asteroid belt seems to be the most plausible thing we can do in deep space that we can't do in LEO or right on the ground.
I had an earlier version of one of these, when they had a ridiculous sale (it was like $40 or something).

It ran quite well. Most apps worked fine. It was a little slow, but it almost never had problems. Typing aside, I'm surprised how reasonable it was, I used it as my only phone for a few days and I really had no complaints.
It is supremely uncomfortable inside some people's heads.

This really depends on the candidate profile and what exactly you're expecting the certifications to do.

Does a certification teach you how to 'do' InfoSec? No.

But they're useful if you're starting out in InfoSec. Especially if you're changing careers, don't have a BS, or have those other boxes recruiters like to check. Certs can get you through the recruiter.

Also, some employers require certain certifications to work there; especially if they're working with the government, or some other organization whose contract requires that people working on the contract have various certifications.

If you're going into forensics or something like that where you may be called upon to testify in court as an expert witness, certifications help prove your bonafides to the court.

A blanket 'no they're not useful' is unhelpful and not entirely accurate.
> A decent processor and RAM would make the pinephone a lot more appealing just by itself.

The 3GB of the bigger model are enough for most users (LibreOffice or Firefox with several tabs open can run on a XFCE PC deskop with 2GB), but the CPU is indeed limited, and battery life is short.
Admittedly just by optimizing the software they recently squeezed out a lot more compared to the first iterations of the software, however we're not there yet. I wonder if having a much beefier battery could allow the use of faster processors although not aimed at the mobile world.
Personally I can't even keep in my hand a modern phone without it risking to fall, I find their thinness extremely uncomfortable, and would be thankful if producers made a full 1.5 - 2cm thick one with the additional space occupied by a decent battery.
I don't think this is even possible with SVN or CVS, is it ?
Reminds me of Dolores Hart (who is now an abbess, IIRC).

I can't say the comments here shock me, exactly, but they certainly are revealing. Specifically, so many of them pass judgement on this woman as if she had done something terrible and project their own categories onto her, characterizing this, without the slightest shred of evidence, as somehow sad. How lost one must be to claim such a thing!

Sister Mary Joseph had only chosen to be a Carmelite nun after her husband had died and her children had grown up. She had no dependents or husbands for whom or to whom she was responsible anymore. She was not a single mother who had somehow abandoned her children. Would she miss her children? Probably, but she found a higher calling for which she sacrificed such contact and there is no higher calling than the religious life. In her case, she clearly felt called to devote herself in this particular way. I have no reason to presume that she didn't know what she was getting herself into (besides, religious orders do not simply let anybody in who isn't serious or even qualified in basic ways). Do her children miss her? Arguably, yes, but if they remain in the faith and see the world through a Catholic lens, they are likely to be joyful about having pursued this calling. There is nothing sad about it. It is a very joyful and wonderful thing. It is inspiring.

Catholics (not of the cafeteria variety, anyway) find happiness in sacrificing lesser goods for higher goods and in the sanctification that comes with the suffering life will inevitably inflict on us. So let's just say she didn't join the order to be comfortable, but to grow spiritually in a particularly austere order. If you aren't Catholic, this may not make much sense to you. Someone who is a slave to comfort and whose horizons are severely limited and parochial will think this is downright crazy. But the Catholic understanding of reality, of Man, and of God imparts a vertical dimension and a breadth that is absent otherwise. Catholic anthropology is not reductive, and Man, after all, does not live by bread alone.
Yep, this is something I noticed as well. Reddit calls its subreddits communities, but most communities are not about the people but about the content. As you can only have nuanced conversation when you repeatedly run into the same people, the only subreddits able to withstand conversation are niche or heavily moderated like AskHistorians.

What this means is that if you want good conversation on Keyboards, it better be about mechanical. Good conversation on coffee or want a new pair of headphones? Better be into audiophile equipment. There's no room for generalists who just want good enough. Overnight WallStreetBets went from an interesting community of people willing to gamble far more than I to a pile of garbage.

I'm beginning to think that Dunbar's number and the associated tribal splits are something that we should factor into our community building, and not try to work around through metrics and algorithms.

So HN does this aspect correct, by grouping by interest of a certain type of person, but even on HN as more people show up and post the same problems will become evident.

This seems like it would be vulnerable to accidental or malicious hash collision generation.

You need a hash plus some "authorized mirrors list" or some other anti-poisoning measure. Not sure offhand how BitTorrent does it.

Isn’t this a little like saying that because I can’t express myself well in Finnish, I probably can’t express myself well in English? Or maybe more like saying that writing about a topic and speaking about it are completely linked?

There’s a difference between having/understanding an idea and being able to express it in different modes/mediums of communication (in this case, to computers vs to humans). I’m not saying that one can’t learn to be better at a form of communication, but I recognize they are different abilities.
> the end of ownership

I think it more likely the acceleration of ownership. Near-infinite copyright, patented math, the trend has been more greatly in one direction than the other. Even the nature of FOSS/Creative Commons relies on this (even as many suppose it to be breaking free of it). (As someone from some documentary I can't fully recall put it: we will not be free and the world will not be fixed until every square inch of it is owned privately.)

In previous western society, it was acceptable to own the physical human being. The investment was in ontology. But now the investment is moving towards epistemology. People are data. Own the data, own people.
People have a choice.
Yes but git seems to be one of those tools where laypeople seems to genuinely not be able to derive how to do complex tasks from first principles. Lord knows I can’t. If your Googling doesn’t turn up someone’s who’s had your exact problem you will have to burn a long time figuring out how to do what you want.
The IRCCloud thing is my own breaking point for staying connected to Freenode for some channels that hadn't moved yet. I'm not going to switch my entire IRC client setup around because they're being childish and can't stand being criticized.

Since I gather that about half the people left in some of those channels were taken out by this k-line, hey, might accelerate the move anyway. :D

The problem isn't that you can't configure GNOME to behave to your preferences. The problem is that GNOME makes it hard to do so, and that's a philosophical decision the project made.

If I'm about to spend time customizing my DE to match my preferences and habits, I'd much rather spend the time on something that is made to be customizable.

So a bunch of people think the lumber market is going down during the pandemic and take out short positions on lumber futures because they want to profit and then lumber mills start closing in response. The problem is the lumber mills closing. That’s not part of the picture that can be easily corrected. Now the market participants, who were wrong, have impacted the production capacity of lumber and we cant get any new sawmills because it’s too expensive to spin one back up? Maybe the info graphic isn’t telling the whole story, though?
It won't happen in GTK3, that's feature frozen. Maybe someone could implement it in GTK4?
I think people who insist on FOSS are demanding too much. Your choice of license is very reasonable. Don't let the purists and freeloaders get you down. (No, I don't yet use Zerotier, but maybe I should.)

More generally, I like what you said a little while back in the thread about the Mighty remote browser [1]:

> (2) The hopelessly naive idea that "information wants to be free" and everything has to be "free" (as in beer) needs to die, be cut into a thousand pieces, burned, encased in concrete, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Nothing is free. Software takes a vast amount of labor to produce, and that must be funded. If it's not funded directly and honestly it will be funded indirectly and dishonestly (surveillance capitalism, cloud lock-in, etc.). "Everything has to be free" and piracy actually help push us toward a surveillance capitalist panopticon future.

That point should be front and center in all discussions on FOSS sustainability (or lack thereof).

I would assume the people taking these drugs in a modern study would be participating having given their consent and under the supervision of an ethics review board. I’ve never taken LSD in my life but I would be willing to participate in a study like this and I can’t imagine I’m alone.

> humans are built to consume meat. Yes we can manage alternatives, but it’s not really all that healthy

What Science Says About The Health Benefits Of Plant-Based Diets https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/what-science-says-ab...

"A number of studies have shown that a diet low in meat is linked to longer lifespans. But the matter is far from settled, as some studies haven’t found a significant difference in life expectancy between meat eaters and vegetarians.

"But there is growing evidence that plant-based diets are associated with benefits like lower blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and reduced body weight. These improved health measures often translate to less risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases. Eating more whole, plant-based foods could help lower the risk of some health conditions, and might even help people live longer. But researchers also suspect that vegetarians are more health-conscious overall — so, they’re likely to be drinking and smoking less and moving their bodies more than the general population — which complicates some study results.

"Still, emerging research points to a potentially helpful role of plant-based diets in managing some chronic health conditions. For instance, some studies suggest that plant-based diets — veganism in particular — may help control rheumatoid arthritis."
Anti-Trust is not the best path

Better action would be reforms in contract law to limit binding Arbitration, make ToS unenforceable if they do not have at least SOME provisions in favor of the users (i.e stop allowing unconscionable contracts as Terms of Service), and stronger enforcement of Truth in Advertisement

For ToS, one thing that should absolutely be require for a ToS to be enforceable is a mandate that Vendors are required to provide exact justification for them terminating the agreement (i.e banning you). They should have to clearly define what EXACT terms you violate, and WHEN exactly you violated them. There should should be a mandated review process

For Truth in Advertisement, many of these companies and services use Bait and Switch tactics all the time, advertising their platforms as "Free Speech" or "welcome to all person" only to then clearly and objectively favor one political convention

One final thing I would prefer to see over Anti-Trust is some kine of provision that kicks in if the platform accepts "official Government Messaging" i.e if Twitter wants to allow an official government account on their platform then their should be additional requirements as that now does become an equality under the law concern if people are blocked for official communications.

If they do not want to have those additional strings on their platform then they can simply refuse in the Terms to allow for any Official Government Communication
Many things are clearly harmful because they exploit weaknesses in the human psyche and the average person. There is a reason why obesity is high and rising, for example.

> Renting is considered a business.

So, renting is not favored over other businesses in the tax code? Cool, then people will invest in renting to the extent that they can make a better profit there relative to other business endeavors. This seems sane to me.

>> Actual work has little risk.

> So does waiting for prices to go up in a city.

Have you ever watched NYC unilaterally and without warning do massive homeless shelter relocations into your neighborhood in the middle of a pandemic? Or noticed that sometimes there are chemical contaminants discovered under towns and the drinking water can be full of lead? Or seen the quality of the local public schools drop over time? Or read that hurricanes and earthquakes and riots sometimes level everything? There is risk in owning property.

Sure, some of that risk can be offloaded to insurance. But witness half of Napa is trying to rebuild at the same time on account of widespread wildfires. The insurance only somewhat addresses systemic risk.

Thank you for responding. I will read the introduction that you suggested.

I will echo the peer responses that I don't see how one values abstract plots of land independent of their current usage. But I am content to watch that discussion unfold instead of continuing on that topic in this thread.
This is basically why I prefer living in a location with seasons. Yes, CaliFlorida weather is nice. But I appreciate what all of the seasons have to offer so much more for the variation. I could do with a 25% shorter winter and summer, though ;)
Shouldn't they at least support the Web?
Obviously, but the officer being more scared of a black person has nothing to do with institutional power, that's my point. I can be a penniless, poor homeless person and still be a racist piece of shit. I don't require power for that.

In my example, the fact that the person is a police officer has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that they are also discriminating. Certainly issues arise when the two intersect (having institutional power and discriminating) but don't conflate the two as the same.

Also this whole argument rests on the fact that power is some binary thing which isn't true at all. Power imbalances exist in every facet of life and sometimes, traditionally "oppressed" classes of people have more power than "oppressor classes" in some situation or another.
Closest thing i found:

"In the late 1950s, two scientists, Carl Clark and James Hardy, had a more daring idea. Physics dictated that if a spacecraft could be steadily accelerated at 2 Gs, it could reach the moon or Mars in days or even hours. But could a human being survive the constant acceleration? Clark used the centrifuge to find out.

“He essentially moved into the cab, brought his La-Z-Boy from home, and stayed in there at 2 G for 24 hours,” says Shender. Clark slept, ate, worked, and lived at two Gs for a full day under constant medical surveillance. He suffered nothing more than fatigue. Further marathon rides were planned, but more immediate space missions loomed and the idea was set aside. "

> (this includes transferring money in ways the local government doesn't approve of which can admittedly be great if the local government is oppressive).

That is a very weird take. It assumes that privacy is somehow always linked to illicite activities. Even if I'm buying candy, the government doesn't have any right to track it. Hiding my life from the government should not be automatically labeled criminal.
I see your point as someone who's been in the industry for some time, but do you by any chance have recommendations for folks trying to get into it? Every time I've seen threads from people trying to get into offensive security OSCP and other certs come up, even to people that already have college degrees and in some cases experience. Where is that coming from, and what should people do instead? It seems at least to me like there's a real disconnect on this topic between people hiring senior roles and junior employees.

This critique of such books is covered in the book "The Halo Effect". It's a good book.
Well, if they weren't useful, we wouldn't have 2 million H1B's working in the US. Schools teach very little technically and most folks graduating with some sort of degree in IT/CS/? only spend a couple of semesters even covering the related field. I have found that certs are useful because you can expect the applicant to at least know the basics of a Cisco Router, Checkpoint Firewall, Windows/Linux Server, etc. Obviously a CCIE will know something about Cisco Routers and Networking and some of the GIAC Certs are worth while. I know a lot of folks dismiss certs as bullshit but I've never met a CCIE/CCNP or OSCP that didn't know what they were talking about in their respective fields. At the same time there are a lot of really smart and talented people who don't have a Degree or a Cert and could put 90 % of the security field to shame and I would expect that to be true in other fields also.
The solution is simple: Use downvotes for rude and disrespectful comments. I am all for moderating a forum for pointless and useless comments. Most downvotes now-a-days are about disagreements. Using downvotes as a tool to push others into conformity is the shittiest part of HN.

Here ye, here ye. It's just the direction things will go towards, and I know most other people will feel uncomfortable(and so do I) but I think it'll be something that could be changed by changing societal expectations.

An analogy could be that 100 years ago the outrage was over women wearing revealing clothing and how it would affect the purity of society, but now attitudes have changed and now we barely blink an eye.
