Every step is easy once you think about it; the hard part is spending any attention on it in the first place.

I would definitely say it's more effective to test your existing layers before adding more layers, and I think the "defence in depth" concept leads people astray there. Having multiple porous layers works on a battlefield where attacks are costly; it doesn't work on the internet where if one attack gets through an outer layer then all the other attacks can immediately get through the same way and start hitting the inner layer.
Every modern attempt at starting competing services to major online forums has met with:

-A firestorm of slander from media outlets controlled by competitors.
-Cartel-style harassment and denial of basic services required to run the site, hosting, financial, etc, again, by competitors.

Competition is not a solution when the game is rigged. People literally are "stopping you," and they are some very powerful, influential people at that.
I'm asking for stuff like PubMed studies. I just want some more info about this stuff. I don't really care about the stuff being talked about in the media, because it's generally not crediable (at least in the way they tend to present it). This question was something I thought of on my own and was curious about.

There are claims in the media on either "side" that are unsubstantiated or not true. Take your statement about groups saying the vaccine is dangerous. There are also groups pushing for everyone to get the vaccine, even for children. So far the data shows that it should be generally safe (as other approved vaccines are), but that there could be some risks (also true with other vaccines). But we still don't have all the data (looks like Pfizer will apply later this year). What this means, is that it's difficult to perform an objective risk/benefit analysis in age groups which have extremely low hospitalization rates (like kids) as it could take even a very low severe adverse event rate to outweigh it. The risk/benefit becomes much clearer in some other age groups with high fatality rates (80+ yo). For example, it would be much easier to find a severe adverse event that effects 5%+ of that population, and any rate below that is still a net benefit considering that age group has a 5%+ fatality rate. Not to mention, the likelihood of negative effects being discovered decades down the road (like autoimmune stuff) doesn't really matter due to the constraint of expected lifespan.
> but FireWire was actually meant to replace SCSI. SCSI and FireWire are peer-to-peer: any device on the bus can talk to any other device, unlike USB where each bus has at most one host and the host does all the initiation of data transfer. (USB On-The-Go still has one host and one host only; it just allows certain devices like your mobile phone to swing both ways.) The point-to-point capabilities of USB 3 notwithstanding, a USB hub has one upstream port for the host and multiple downstream ports for the devices. A FireWire hub, however, is like getting a longer internal SCSI cable; more devices simply exist on the same bus. Connecting multiple FireWire hubs just makes a bigger bus because all the ports are the same.

I'd love a comprehensive review of how host-to-host networking works under USB4, for comparison. USB4 is the first significant overhaul of USB, a move from switched links to a packet switching system, where-by various protocols such as USB3, PCIe, DisplayPort are multiplexed over the USB4 links & across 40Gbps packet-switching hub chips.

There still seems to be a fairly top-down tree architecture to USB4[1], but there is also mandatory host-to-host networking support: one of the most exciting things about the new Intel laptop offerings, to me, is that they almost all offer 40Gbps host-to-host communication over a good variety of plain-old usb-c cables (20Gbps for less speedy cables). It's an interesting capability, but how technically the packet-switching system works to implement this is very interesting to me, something I'm not clear on, especially as compared to FireWire.

I'd also love to know whether this host-to-host networking functions (& how) if there are routers/"hubs" between the different hosts (the linked [1] implies it ought work). This could all behave like USB-OTG, where one computer starts looking like a device, but I'm not sure if it's that fixed a system: does USB4 begins to permit slightly more bus-like non-top-down behaviors. Does a usb hub/router have to be entirely top-down in USB4, or can it negotiate different hosts access to different devices?

Still missing is DMA (short of USB4 PCIe transport, which again raises the host versus device question in my mind! Is there NTB support on PCIe over USB4 anywhere? That would be kicking rad) which FireWire obviously has had in it's wheelhouse for a long long time now.

No. “Dollar General” is a trademark/proper noun, not a common noun. When pluralized, trademarks are typically paired with a common, pluralized noun since one is typically referring to the mark’s owner entity. “Dollar General stores” “Dollar General brands”

Common nouns with postpositive adjectives, in US English, have the noun pluralized: attorneys general, sisters-in-law, courts-martial, professors emeritus, accounts receivable.

Yes, it's been almost eight years since Chrome removed their MathML support. The rationale at the time was unspecified security and performance problems:

https://www.cnet.com/news/google-subtracts-mathml-from-chrom...

A developer who worked on it, David Barton, had this to say in 2015:

> I volunteered for a year and got MathML working in Chrome 24, but Google turned it off in Chrome 25 because I couldn't afford to keep maintaining it for free. (Yes, grumble. Donate your nickels to Google.) There was a security bug, but Google had a fix, which has since been landed in WebKit and the Safari browser, for instance. No one on the Chrome/Blink team cared about MathML, so they preferred removing it to maintaining it. They tell people that a library like MathJax is good enough, but it isn't without native browser support for MathML - it's too slow for many use cases, it doesn't integrate well enough with CSS, etc. (the MathJax team agrees with all this). Presumably as digital textbooks gain in popularity, Google will rethink their position, or schools will have to use a different browser than Chrome (Firefox and Safari would both work). In the meantime, Google has no one working on MathML in Chrome at all, even part-time. Go figure. (And no, I would not work on it again.)

"Unpopular ideas can be silenced, and inconvenient facts kept dark, without the need for any official ban. Anyone who has lived long in a foreign country will know of instances of sensational items of news—things which on their own merits would get the big headlines—being kept right out of the British press, not because the Government intervened but because of a general tacit agreement that ‘it wouldn’t do’ to mention that particular fact. So far as the daily newspapers go, this is easy to understand. The British press is extremely centralised, and most of it is owned by wealthy men who have every motive to be dishonest on certain important topics. But the same kind of veiled censorship also operates in books and periodicals, as well as in plays, films and radio. At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is ‘not done’ to say it, just as in mid-Victorian times it was ‘not done’ to mention trousers in the presence of a lady. Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the highbrow periodicals."

Or, just always show them. It's hard to make them accessible if you can only see them when the field is focused.

This is arguably an antipattern. If this was a best practice, it would be baked into the browser. Encouraging password manager use (every browser comes with one built in!) is what we should be aiming for. "Confirm password" fields prevent the problem that the post tries to avoid, and it's really not "onerous". Or, use something like WebAuthn.

Looking through that thread, I wouldn’t be surprised if a cyberbullying case could be made in many states. There are early comments predicting and mocking the victim’s suicide far in advance of it. With all the evidence we’ve got, it seems like this cyberbullying has some culpability in a death.

I am not saying these two situations are exactly the same, but here is a situation where someone used an electronic device to encourage a suicide and was prosecuted for manslaughter

Could you provide a reliable source for that claim? As you day, there is a lot of BS out there.
>It’s basically “well I don’t have to know the history. I can just trust that our brilliant founding fathers got it right.”

Not at all.

I claimed any person with common sense can assume that the US "founding fathers" were reacting to something.

And I didn't claim that Americans are or aren't devoid of common sense. You can read it either way.
First of all it's largely not actual sand (silicon dioxide) like you get naturally in most of the places like up in Daytona, where they ran the stock-car endurance race on the beach for years before a paved track was built.

Nope, common road vehicles have never been ideal way down on South Florida beaches, even back when there were no rules. The ATV's like the lifeguards have are the kind of thing that really works, or a dune buggy with the fat tires even in places where there were no dunes. Anything heavy just sinks more than you would want.

Because the beach there is so soft you can feel the difference as you walk, and it consists more so of particles of eroded seashells (calcium carbonate) having much larger size, much more random and irregular shapes, and a much wider particle size distribution than the far more universal and familiar true sand elsewhere.

And it all leads more steeply into the Atlantic Ocean, it's not the really wide sandy beach that sometimes is considered more desirable.

Notwithstanding any replenishment which can can upset the balance for a period compared to naturally deposited or eroded material.

The sandcastles that can be built have differences in limitations that can be felt by hand.

And IIRC the building contrators were not all of the highest integrity.

I would say my experiences exploring many of the hi-rises in nearby Broward as a teenager after-hours at the construction sites as they were being built in the late '60s & early '70s was not unique.

All kinds of kids did this in South Florida . . .

There just weren't that many kids when the bulk of the population is retired from up north.

I built one of these once. I even figure out a way to remotely trigger the garage door to close. I programmed it so that if I left it open for too long it'll message me telling me, and if I still stays open too long after that it'll be passive aggressive and say something like "I hate having to do all the work for you, but I closed your garage door because you forgot to."
It's also worth mentioning that the Schenck case was about distribution of leaflets with anti-war (WW1) propaganda and encouraging draft dodging. So not only there's an obvious slippery slope in this argument, but it was exercised as soon as it was presented.

> On the flipslide, Smalltalk, also developed in the 1970s, has much longer names. But Smalltalk was developed for the Xerox Alto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_Alto), an expensive machine with a bitmapped display, luxurious even by 1980s standards.

Long selectors in Smalltalk make sense as they're split and interleaved with arguments. Even a single programmer would probably write the same code for both environments differently when it comes to naming things.
More than a few programmers are incredibly cocky about "I can write code" turning into "therefore all problems are simple". It's not just managers.

I'm honestly confused that you give it 50/50. Even ignoring the context, the "we" in "what could go wrong if we" only works if it's a rhetorical question. And from there, analyzing it as a rhetorical question, it seems obvious to me that the implied answer isn't "nothing".

Not sure that's the reason why, not all research is done in academia. Pharmaceutical research specifically is mostly done in research centres, such as the CIGB, featured in the article, where the vaccine was developed.
It encourages debt and buying larger homes (e.g. the common advice to get the biggest mortgage you can), which doesn't necessarily increase overall home ownership (larger homes means fewer homes). Even if it does encourage home ownership, why is that a social positive worth spending tax money on - especially when we're talking about putting tax money straight into the pockets of the top ~half of the population (the bottom ~half don't own homes at all), and the more expensive your house the more you get? Even with a cap, that's just backwards.

It's a bit misleading to say SCSI is/was peer to peer. Yes, any device could address any other, but in the communication between any two devices there was a clear separation between initiator and target roles. AEN, which might have been used e.g. for targets to notify initiators of fan or power faults, was limited and rarely even implemented. To the extent that IEEE-1394 storage used the SCSI command set, it would have had (at least) the same limitations.
They also have a unit that I installed that you can tell it close when no one has been passed the sensor in x number of minutes. It has been great when we've forgotten to shut the door at night. No need to monitor anything yourself.

I feel like this comment is an attack on me and I'm not really sure why that is.

I routinely order _dinner_. When I first started using sites like DoorDash, the fees didn't seem to be as high as they are now. When the fees got to be so exorbitant, I started picking up instead. I definitely mentioned this in my post, and I think switching from delivery to pickup actually gives the signal that this is NOT okay.

Am I in the wrong here?
> Why do you cite older and less extensive reporting as though it debunks more recent and more thorough investigation?

Not an argument or a refutation. A fallacy, in point of fact. Its age has nothing to do with the correctness of its argument.

Have you not read any of the comments above? All of these "more recent and thorough reports" - and again, here, as to which specific reports you're being as vague as the "reports" themselves - are obfuscating, designed to confuse and redirect, at the end of which is always "trust us, here are some other trustworthy reports that say the same thing".

By contrast, the word fence report goes through specific allegations and adresses them point by point. Clear, simple, straightforward. In all of the reports demonstrating that Russians hack the DNC, not one is as clear and straightforward, because it never can be.

Your alternative explanation is what, exactly?

You haven't really refuted anything here, and your reference to Occams Razor should come only after clear logical steps from evidence to conclusion, which you do not have.

I don't know who did it. Which is the point. No one does, and no one can know, given the evidence presented so far.

I can tell you this, though: politically, the content of the emails themselves were deeply embarrassing to the DNC. Collusion with the media, including the Washington Post and the New York Times, to kneecap Sander's campaign; Donna Brazile passing debate questions to Clinton; Clinton's strategy to promote Trump as the easy win, etc.

Now, however, any time anyone discusses the content of the emails, true believers such as yourself will interrupt to talk about how Trump won only because of Russians. It was such a stupidly transparent strategy I was stunned it actually grew legs and walked. Skeptical, but open, I eagerly awaited the evidence which never materialized, sadly.

...us lied and claimed it was Russia. That lulzy group proceeded to publish the data via russian-appearing channels or Russia then stole the data from the hackers to publish it. And said group never took credit, even though "we tricked the CIA" is about as much cyber hacker cred as you can get.

Here you kind of rhetorically descend into incoherence. I get it. You don't want to steel-man alternative ideas, because "Russians" is what you have been told and "Russians" is what you believe. But almost any other explanation is as plausible as Russians.
I don't really think you can claim that the intent of Bitcoins design is to facilitate crime and scams.

I made no such assumptions. If you think I did make those assumptions, then either I have failed to communicate my position or you have misread my post.

Understanding the economics of the delivery ecosystem and thinking that those economics are not worth it to me personally are two completely different things. I think the fees are too high and more than I want to pay, so I no longer order delivery and instead go pick up. That's all it is.
