I didn’t know about Jamstack, but I find it a very interesting way of delivering an app. I will study the possibilities for sure!

Thank you very much.
To each their own. I personally love my monolith init.lua :)
I actually like it. I'm in the habit of checking my email regularly, so this allows me to consume the content I subscribe to without needing to build a new habit/ritual. Not saying everyone has to do things my way, just saying why I like it.
Because "intellectual property" is not the basis of any law, but rather a post-hoc bundling of several disparate legal concepts (some reasonable and some not) in an attempt to cement all them as manifestly necessary.
The 60 page report that's listed halfway through isn't peer reviewed, and the main author only submits papers about the wuhan lab. It's also on researchgate, which is about the same as saying someone publishing a study on twitter.
None of these cases establish rules delineating what behavior is allowed vs not allowed populationwide, nor do they ever establish any punishment for constitutional violation. They only say that a very specific collection of behaviors can no longer be performed all at once by the same group on a very specific group of people for a very specific period of time. And none of them prevent policing agencies from just doing it again and again and waiting out the legal challenges each time. Ok, so 45 days is too much in this particular case. The next program will spin up recordings for 35 days and run for another 6 years and try again. Or they'll use wifi beacons on street lights instead of aerial cameras and the details will be different requiring a new set of legal processes.

Cops don't care if it gets challenged in court because they're not paying the court fees. The public is. They get their inflated budgets regardless with zero consequences.

Chipping away tiny fragments of a growing lava flow long after they cool is not my definition of progress.

We've had ~250 years of time for so-called "progress" since the establishment of the fourth amendment, and several decades since global adoption of a public internet. Do you feel like the government has more information about you today, or less? Why?
Is it really a surprise though: the mainstream media is totally permeated with “former” intelligence operatives turned pundits, run major stories based on “anonymous sources” within the intelligence community, etc.

They are telling people what to think and it is working.
Better yet, it doesn't matter because supposedly we're spending billions of DoD to actually have plans to defend against a bio weapon attack.

Where is the RoI on that? We failed miserably.
Seriously, so many possible solutions.

You can sell it.

You can give it away for free.

You can turn it into something else and use it/sell it.

You can mix it with treated sewage water flowing into the ocean.

You can mix it with fresh water flowing into the ocean.

You can discharge it over a larger area.

It's not a "real" problem.
We used to know how to do it.

Cops would be abused and cops abusing citizens are different cops.

There's no group police guilt. Good cops should not be punished for the deeds of bad cops.

Criminal impersonation, fraud, forgery, it's someone assuming your identity for financial gain. It's similar to selling a car you don't own or someone else's real estate property through title fraud.

If IP disappeared tomorrow, I'd bet quite a bit of money that some skilled lawyers would quickly find a way to get the kind of protection you speak of to exist under other laws.

I'd go so much as to say that if something can't be argued under existing laws of things like damage, theft, impersonation, forgery, abuse and fraud, then it probably would be the kind of rights exercise that I'd consider objectionable.
"Too short to bother copying"? I copy single words of text to avoid typing and typos. I would never type out even a single line of code when I could paste and edit.
You might like to try kefir grains. They are very stable, I've had the same grains for 5+ years, and you can leave in the fridge for months if you like.

I used to use dedicated yogurt culture, but "kefir yogurt" tastes exactly the same to me, so I use it for everything (yogurt, goat cheese, kefir-the-drink, obviously).

> It's up to the market, that is, each person individually,... and their own personal army, to decide what's theirs.

The distinction between “a government” and “a private individual with an armed force to impose, by force or intimidation, their will” is...not large. Mostly a matter of time.
Google did stats for this and there was no difference. Not sure if they are viewable outside Google. Google is about as equal as you can get on these points since they are really easy to fix via top down mandates and asking pointed questions at those who don't fall inline. They have quotas over how many should get promoted in each org etc, having race and gender play into that is super easy.
The French ones are, I think.
On premises solutions leave infrastructure security decisions to the customer. Unless you are a Fortune 500, extremely security conscious, or under regulatory requirements, there is a good chance your security program is not complete and has gaps. Centralized hosting and management (SaaS, PaaS model) has the advantage of security at scale. It also leaves all your eggs in one basket…On-Prem is great IF you have your shit together AND you trust your appliance management better than the cloud provider

Now that the facility of the digital tooling is more granular and refined, and theres no shortage of weak-minded grunts that are powertrippin to do what theyre told by the telepath aliens in human disguise or the government, as zealous intern lords over the online conversation or jannies of pre-crime trends, this is all now easier to implement when it will matter the most to our future: silencing anti-alien dissent after "arrival."

The Roswell trojan horse and social infiltration to pressure the farce of 2020, is paying off. Abductees/contactees with negative experiences of the 40+ species will be flagged and limited as agents of "disinformation."
Is video deletion an issue? I don't recall any episode where videos of cops abuses were had to be taken down. It is opposite every time, each video becomes highly viral and reposted to hundreds of services.
It sure sounds nice, doesn't it?

I too am tired of reading about self-proclaimed geniuses on Substack/Medium, calling out to their (oftentimes paying) followers, and throwing up another invisible goalpost that represents intellegence.

It's all so tiring.

Question for those who have more legal expertise - would this ruling change if the aerial surveillance were limited to just public areas? To me it doesn't seem like there is a reasonable expectation to privacy in public spaces that changes just because of observation over time. Yet that seems to be the line of argument made in this article.
It may have seemed more reasonable in 1973 than it would in, say, 2019.
Yelp? Yelp rates things like service quality, food quality, and whether your roofer did a good job.

I'm not so certain people will leave glowing positive reviews, or 4-star reviews of cops. "Fantastic service, the interior of the back of the car could have been more clean, I wish I could give this 3.5 stars."

Or, "Gave me directions when I was lost near 9th ave, looking the M&M store. Thanks! 5 stars."

But most likely, "Was rude, yelled at me, and then pushed me up against the wall. 1 star"

This idea is ridiculous. If you want a platform for civilian review, that does exist in some cities. Because, and this evidenced by some of the "how brave" comments below, this is really intended to punish bad cops and call them out. Calling this a Yelp is dishonest. If you want to be honest call it like it is, a complaint area.

In some cities there's a civilian review board, and there's a special section of the DA for investigating bad behavior and illegal behavior. The role of the cop is to enforce laws. Will this idea make them more accountable to those things, or does it exist to create mayhem using technology and an online platform for doxxing? That's not a rhetorical question - it's an honest question and I'm curious what people believe.
I tried Googling this and couldn't find it. I also don't want to believe it because it seems like the world suddenly turned into an apocalyptic hellscape with no place for developers like me. Do you have a source?
You were powering it through the protection diodes.

Some 10-15 years ago someone built dirt simple radio tags this way. Just a microcontroller, with a capacitor and an antenna trace connected to some io pin. I loved that hack.
I thought that maybe at least PWA apps could be bundled this way, but I can't find anything about it
Those rape accusations have soured me on "official" rape narratives. As in, I believe women, but I don't believe anyone speaking on behalf of women. When I heard about Matt Gaetz's thing, my first question was "what did he do recently to piss off the war pigs?"
I've tried it this week and it's really cool to see it process a big batch of bricks.

I was a bit disappointed by the suggested builds, because they're small, but I also understand it's early on and a difficult thing to do.

Not vital, but I was surprised that it doesn't look for colors at all.

One thing I'd love is the same technology, but used to look for a particular part. It does that once you pick a build, but imagine building your own thing rather than suggestions and having the app tell you where you can find the piece you're looking for. If you're adventurous, you would even have a custom tray with a spotlight directed at your pile :)

I've been trying to take thousands of mixed parts back into their original sets and I was hoping this might be helpful. The technology itself probably would, but not packaged as it is for the moment.

All that being said: really well done!
The soulless retarded arcturian aliens are using dreams to psychologically model and mind control Humans. They call it "mental screening" where a race treats your brain like a movie theatre and can screen whatever mental image they want. Their purpose in choosing to initially experiment with me is to eventually inflict their control over you. In effect, the brain doesnt rest, I feel like I havent slept for 4 years. They can also erase dream memory, which means its heavy programming and fucking sketchy. They can control sleep duration. Seeing how sleep and dream deprivation works over time, they are gathering data on how best to use your revealed personal information to craft dream imagery through active telepathic decoding which causes sleep deprivation, a build up of beta amyloid plaque, neuronal misfires causing spasm, symptoms of brain damage, eye pain, headaches, high pitched buzzing, and cutting off healthy subconscious processing. //
The childlike-ego Arcturians are using psychic manipulation or chemtrails to make us ingest heavy metals to facilitate mind control of the people. //
They are playing up the concept of pre-cognitive dreams, which is simply using imagery of the designed dream state and then using psychic control when awake to direct attention. //
Their imposing to do this means only one thing: Control. Abusive, ruthless, and desperate control. //
They are manipulating brains like a battery, turning information around, seeing how the response reacts to the stimulus, playing into those concepts. Dream manipulation is an imprisonment technique used to condition and starve the mind. Both dream manipulation and constant telepathy has negative neurophysiological effects, it results in headaches, confusion, memory loss, vision impairment, rest deprivation. //
They can enact this from some distance too, its possible that there is an active technological accelerant, a headband that can amplify their telepathy. Aluminum foil covering or dietary intake can amplify the telepathic reception, resulting in subconscious dream programming being erased. //
The solutions so far Ive found that can mitigate this would be a heavy covering of the brain stem, top, and temples with Velostat or Linqstat, and grounding and shielding the soles of the feet. Keep a Pyrite stone on the left side of your body. // "With repeated or continued exposure, the increased excitability leads to a state of exhaustion of the cells of the cerebral cortex." //
Curse those dumbfucks pig-hearts.

> IP, whether enforced by the government or by private contract, is not a user fee.

“private contracts” aren't an enforcement mechanism, they are a basis for government enforcement.

That aside, no, IP (and property generally) isn't a user fee, its the privilege of excluding others from some conduct relating to the subject of the property right.

A tax on property is a user fee on the service of providing and enforcing that privilege.

I take 100mg almost daily myself, but some studies say that for people without a prior stroke, myocardial infarction or Angina pectoris it can even be harmful.
[1][2]

According to most general physicians here in Germany I shouldn't be taking it as a person without said medical history.

I don't plan to continue taking daily Asprin when I have met my weight loss and exercise goals.

This new evidence for benefits with cancer patients is very interesting.

Studies like that are hard to judge as a layman, meta-studies even more so.

[2] found:

> Cancer was the major contributor to the higher mortality in the aspirin group, accounting for 1.6 excess deaths per 1000 person-years. Cancer-related death occurred in 3.1% of the participants in the aspirin group and in 2.3% of those in the placebo group

In addition there's the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Is there a similar list for results with particularly strong evidence? Studies that have been replicated multiple times?

> So you are saying you would rather every project in the world have at least one--if not, thanks to making it easier via Copilot, many--copies of this code.

Absolutely not, not at all. I'm suggesting that copying and pasting happens, particularly in the context of a single project.

> At least for your own code, how did you end up with two copies of duplicated logic rather than a shared library of functionality?

At what point is it worth introducing an abstraction rather than copying? Using my libcurl example, you can create an abstraction over the~ 10 lines of initialization, but if you need to change it to a POST, then you're just implemnenting an abstraction over libcurl, which is just silly.

It is illegal to post a whole lot of videos you might find pretty innocuous. A not insignificant portion of America has two party consent laws[1] that really restrict what you're able to record when it comes to private individuals. It has been pretty clearly decided highlighted that police do not enjoy this commonly held right[2] due to the sensitivity of their role but I really don't know if that same restriction extends to other public offices when acting in a non-public manner (i.e. the JCS) - I am really not familiar with the specific exceptions the above comment laid out so I won't comment on them... but it is illegal to post a whole bunch of different sorts of videos.

> we have to decide what's more important: what the information reveals, or how it is being weaponized.

False choice. They are both important -- you don't have to choose. Selective and timed use of facts is often a way to hide behind "truth" while being completely biased.
It doesn't inspire confidence that they don't reveal who they are - neither their About Us page nor their Contact Us has any relevant information. In a democracy, there is no reason to hide behind anonymity while fighting for a just cause. As Gandhi taught us, democracy survives only on trust and not fear and violence.

If one fears the misuse of power by the government through the judiciary, then needs to rally the politicians and political party to their cause too, and work from within the system.
There are very few interactions where someone comes up to you without your consent and demands money at the threat of force. If anyone other than the government tries to do that we'd call it theft.

Look at how the Amish were able to opt out of social security.
How would posting videos of good cops doing good things be "abuse"?
Is it currently a libertarian position that people should not be allowed to choose who comes into their home?

I can see how it would be, actually. But I also feel like it was so recent that it would be the opposite.

We saw this same idea earlier as though it merits analysis. It doesn't. You being right or not has no bearing on the story at hand.
> Yelp and online business review sites provide value on the basis that you can make educated choices, but there is no choice involved with police. You don't get to pick and choose which officers or departments are coming, and if someone calls the police on you you're not not going to be have the time or knowledge of who's being sent to search on RateOurCops before they get there. It's a fallacy.

You don't get to pick and choose your kid's public school teachers, either. You can extend this to public schools, as well. You don't choose public schools your kid goes to in the same way you don't get to choose what department in your city responds to your call. And yet Rate My Teachers exists for public school teachers[1] all the same.

You can choose where you live and decide what schools or teachers you don't want your kid being around, in the same way you can choose where you live or travel to in order to avoid certain cops or police departments entirely.

Obviously. But even in a company with just 13 people building filters, the employees need to get paid, get health insurance, desks, chairs and computers. Engineers need servers, databases, monitoring, pagers. That's the part that they outsourced then, and now FB manages for them.
I notice that the page says that Daryl Bem's experiements on precognition have no good evidence. I poked around a bit and immediately found this paper on a metanalysis from 2016 on the topic.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4706048/

Any thoughts on this? This paper says:

To encourage replications, all materials needed to conduct them were made available on request. We here report a meta-analysis of 90 experiments from 33 laboratories in 14 countries which yielded an overall effect greater than 6 sigma, z = 6.40, p = 1.2 × 10 -10 with an effect size (Hedges’ g) of 0.09. A Bayesian analysis yielded a Bayes Factor of 5.1 × 10 9, greatly exceeding the criterion value of 100 for “decisive evidence” in support of the experimental hypothesis. When DJB’s original experiments are excluded, the combined effect size for replications by independent investigators is 0.06, z = 4.16, p = 1.1 × 10 -5, and the BF value is 3,853, again exceeding the criterion for “decisive evidence.” The number of potentially unretrieved experiments required to reduce the overall effect size of the complete database to a trivial value of 0.01 is 544, and seven of eight additional statistical tests support the conclusion that the database is not significantly compromised by either selection bias or by intense “ p-hacking”—the selective suppression of findings or analyses that failed to yield statistical significance. P-curve analysis, a recently introduced statistical technique, estimates the true effect size of the experiments to be 0.20 for the complete database and 0.24 for the independent replications, virtually identical to the effect size of DJB’s original experiments (0.22) and the closely related “presentiment” experiments (0.21). We discuss the controversial status of precognition and other anomalous effects collectively known as psi.
Technology Traps (1978) [video]
Let's look at the body of the first amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Please observe the first word of the first amendment, "Congress." That means any legislative body: federal, state, or municipal. It does not mean any individual, corporation, or content provider. Furthermore, moderation is not censorship. It has been established that free speech is available to everyone and that moderating a given medium from content it considers objectionable, illegal, or contrary to its means or goals is de facto free speech. To suggest otherwise is counter to the idea that the first amendment was founded on. Not only to prevent monarchs, dictators and governments from suppressing speech but to also prevent monarchs, dictators and governments from forcing government dictated propaganda.
