I'm really stuck between deciding on which. opnsense claims it's concerned about code quality and separating logic from the UI. Sounds great (and means that pfSense must really suck in terms of code quality and security if they aren't doing that) but then following the link to the PHP framework they use you get:

> A full-stack PHP framework delivered as a C-extension!

I mean, I've can't even begin to imagine how insecure that awful combination of insecure by default languages is.
That is misinterpreting the fallacy.

A slippery slope is just a fallacy in a way that there might be insufficient proof for a certain consequence. I rarely read it applied correctly on the internet, although it became quite popular.

Can you elaborate on that? Isn't "messaging" or "image processing" a task?

Bruce Lee thing was specifically designed for movies, so I dont think it is good example of traditional martial arts that might or might not be lost. It was modern adaptation literally for movie.

Aikido is done a lot now, becauae it adapted to current world. What people do is modern variant where not useful pieces got removed and useful pieces are pushed up. Useful here being fun engaging exercise - and in our world being sedentary is more of risk then having to go on the offensive against ennemy clan.

There are quite a few examples in this thread that show there are other runways intersecting a road. To the most interesting to me is the Meiringen military airport, in Switzerland. Plane spotters are often seen at the level crossing taking photos of the landing F18s. There is even a small parking conveniently located near the same level crossing.
The thing about the stock market is that there’s incredibly powerful incentives for the market to keep growing year after year. These niche markets could crash overnight and no-one would care.
For household wiring it's not so decent as it creeps, which causes arcing and fires. For other uses, wherever aluminium could be substituted, it already was, such as underground power wiring.

However, there is development in carbon nanotubes, in the lab they already make wires on par with aluminium, so hopefully that will work out.
Just imagine when the power goes out.
> Ending this scourge on civilization is one of most important political problems facing the international community these days, and marks a new era of global cooperation on financial regulation that now necessarily transcends borders and nations.

A very neutral, objective viewpoint.

> However bitcoin is a technology which did not arise out of an engineering effort directed towards a specific problem or market inefficiency, but instead out of a anarchist political narrative that views democratic control of the money supply and law enforcement as the problem.

A completely false claim.

> It is an attempted financial coup by the anarcho-capitalist wing of Silicon Valley to set themselves up as central bankers but without any accountability or democratic oversight.

Another completely false claim.

> Any non-zero valuation for bitcoin depends on it either yielding some positive cashflows—which is impossible—or depends on an infinite chain of economically irrational actors who will all continue pour money into the scheme ad infinitum irregardless of fundamentals.

This one is also objectively false.

This article is... not good. There exist some decent criticisms of cryptocurrencies. This article doesn't seem to contain any, and is just the biased ranting of someone who doesn't understand them very well.

I flagged it.
You are being downvoted because you failed to do bring any evidence to support your assertions and instead resorted to conspiratorial thinking.

Unlike your claim that "journalist never (dare to) ask", the numbers of violence against police are well studied, published and easily available with a search. Had you done that, you'd have realized that your basic premise is wrong: violence _by_ police is significantly higher than violence _against_ police.

Indeed, police work is _less_ dangerous than e.g. farming, construction, trucking and sales.

Logging, fishing, aircraft, roofing, recycling, even landscaping is more dangerous than police work in terms of fatalities. Yet you don't hear politicians complain about the dangers of landscaping work, do you? Why do you think is that?

On the contrary, the game is realistic in this aspect. Czechia was basically never able to close the borders so tightly you would prevent "all imports". What "closed borders" meant in practice were tens of thousands people crossing the border every day. With prevalence in the rest of the Europe often much higher than 1 in 10k, this means you always have a stream of imports.

Note that some of the borders look like this:

As Huwyt_Nashi052 said, IR controllers are generally very flexible and allow for receiving/sending arbitrary low-to-medium frequency signals.
BL602 is no exception with the software mode the controller provides, giving you access to raw pulse lengths; for example I use it as a pulse frequency counter to interpret a BLDC driver's "speedometer" line, and there are countless other applications like controlling an eInk display's common anode/cathode line.

Can you name an example of a tangible use-case where a blockchain has been used to create real value, and is competitive against conventional technologies in the same space?

There has been a lot of talk about the potential of blockchain, but so far all I have seen it used for is crime and speculation. Would love to be shown I'm wrong on this.

> Blockchains and crypto tech does seem to provide solutions to many challenging problems: distributed ledgers, immutable and decentralized data, ownerless contracts and program execution, secure and decentralized ownership of a digital asset (eg: owning a domain name), programmable free markets, preventing the double spend problem, etc.

Emphasis on "seem". These aren't even problems in the practical sense, but rather tools you can use to solve concrete problems. And in many cases, you can use similar tools that don't involve blockchains (merkle trees, FSS+PKI, …).

And it's still not clear whether blockchains can in practice deliver on the promises of decentralization: There's no good solution to problems like 51% attacks, other than rallying behind a central authority like the chain's developers. Why even bother with a blockchain then?

"BGP is GPS for internet".

It certainly is not?

"internal BGP (iBGP) : informs each non-gateway router"

It does not? There are no non-gateway routers in classic BGP (without reflectors)?

"it updates the AS-path by appending itself to the path list"

the commonly used term is "prepending"?

"For iBGP, there is a TCP connection between each two routers in the same AS, given the only one of them is a gateway."

What is that even supposed to mean?

Why all the pseudo-math notation?

"That is it. There’s really nothing difficult about BGP in general."

This statement is tableflip inducingly inaccurate.

There is nothing simple in BGP.
Blockchain is quite old at this point by technology standards, no? In 2017 there was a ton of attention and funding going into the space - it's not as if there hasn't been the opportunity to do something interesting with blockchain.
I think part of the problem is that what makes for an honestly competent machinist or metal worker very often conflicts with what makes for the sort of person who creates videos exactly the way YouTube wants people to create videos so that YouTube can make them "become" popular.

A couple of years ago YouTube changed something but not being a content creator I don't know exactly what they changed. What I do know is that a great many of the machinists on YouTube who were releasing regular long format videos series abruptly stopped. Most of them were people that I we know by name... for example Tom Lipton never showed the completion of the larger etching press he was building for his wife. This is the reason why I subscribe to a couple dozen channels which are presented in Russian and Spanish... suddenly all the machining content dried up (because YouTube refuses to help me find that content on their site) and I had to get my fix somehow.

Also, feel sorta obliged to note that I have unsubscribed from a number of active machining/CNC focused channels because either a) the projected affect the presenter put on really got under my skin (I have some neurological / hearing problems, so that's unfortunately an issue I run into on occasion) or b) the presenter has habitually expressed some sort of unpleasant jingoistic and/or hostile attitudes... fortunately that's not the norm but it does happen enough that it does bother and discourage me.

This Covid-19 simulation, where you can have a more or less reliable model because you are basically doing it after the fact, already has enough potential for controversy - e.g. the "social stability" metric, is it too sensitive? Not sensitive enough? For decarbonization, where you don't have a reliable model, you will probably be accused by both sides that you're underestimating or overestimating the various parameters involved. Do you want to open this can of worms?

The same could be said for many problems in computer science and on the web: these were not problems humans were trying to solve before computers.

Blockchains give us new paradigms (such as ownerless & distributed program execution) that most of us weren’t thinking about before it was achievable.
Can you elaborate? I doubt your claim because "how much profit" a business makes is tied to the legal/financial system(s) the business operates in. To me it looks like we have the "object level vs. meta level" fallacy that is so typical for crypto enthusiasts: in the end, what governs our society is not crypto tech (object level), but meta level institutions. And even if these institutions were to agree that, for example, a smart contract is a legal contract, they could still reverse this decisions and hence move the agreement back to the meta level.
Sorry, but are you saying that, now that we have fire and clothing and "whole cities in permafrost", hardly anybody really dies of cold anymore? That it's mostly a myth? That the news and weather people on television who worry every winter about what they call "dangerous conditions tonight for homeless people" are just spreading "misinformation" as "deep sarcasm or another form of climate denial"?

Large numbers of people really do, even today, die of both cold and heat. That's one of the dangers for for people who are homeless or too poor to pay to heat their homes properly. If temperatures change, the change in death rates should be measured using the overall change in death rates, not just the change in heat deaths. If that statement about measuring the overall impact of climate change on death rates using net change in death rates constitutes "climate change denial" for you, then a "form of climate change denial" is a form of religious heresy for you, and there's no point arguing mere statistical matters.

This is so on point. People do things to make themselves look good without care for the product, user, or even company success sometimes.

"There are indeed a lot of fools in this world, but to presume an infinite chain of them as the core of an investment thesis is beyond absurd."

It's worked for gold and diamonds for generations. Not to mention pretty much every artwork or other concoction human beings create and then collect.

There's not a lot of cash flow from first edition Marvel comics, but there are an awful lot of them stored in plastic bags.

Humans collect and value all sorts of stuff for no good reason. Cryptocurrency is no different.

It becomes even less of an issue when you realise that we all create 'currency' all the time. It's just an embodiment of a promise to do something in the future. Far more of a unit of account than a thing.

The trick is getting other people to accept your currency. Which is a lot easier when you can impose coercive charges on people denominated in that currency - whether that is a tax, or a tithe.
The distraction of notifications, or "sign up for our email news letter" distractions I'm certainly against. But, the fact of having my time wasted (getting a notification I don't care about) has highlighted other things that waste my time such as

Movies that start with 1-3 minutes of company logos. An animation of "A Scott Free Production", followed by an animated logo of "Bad Robot", followed by yet another animated logo of "20th Century Fox" and all that is then followed by card that says "Scott Free Production of a Bad Robot movie published by 20th Century Fox". I want to reach and and shake the people silly "QUIT WASTING MY TIME!"

The same with both movie trailers and game trailers. I go to see the game trailer and there's 30 seconds to 2 minutes of logos. For games, I want to click the video and see gameplay IMMEDIATELY. I don't want some 5 minute CG movie nor do I want to see the publisher or developer's names. Those are solely
there to stroke their own ego. The user/player/viewer as absolutely no need for it. They aren't respecting my time.

Of course those things have been around forever but the fact that my devices and apps waste my time in so many ways as highlighted other ways my time is also wasted.

I can see where you're coming from, but I think common carrier type action is pretty unlikely here.

Besides controversy, it's too technically hairy to legislate. There's also no reason. "Surveillance advertising" isn't a necessary service.

The reason I like the angle of this letter is that it isn't stand-alone. It's providing another perspective to the pile. Data centric advertising is monopoly & centralisation prone. They're extracting a lot of value out of the digital economy and this chokes out a lot of potential economic activity.

It doesn't negate or replace privacy, data security, general creepiness or other rationales. What they're literally calling for is a ban. How this affects politicians, if it does, is providing them an additional persona of affected groups. Businesses .

I think it helps to inform the developer about possible issues, but I think in most cases depending on the software this is plainly not relevant and can be ignored. I wouldn't classify it has high severity. Also, It might just not be trivial to develop a regex library that cannot be DDOSed or the mechanism that was declared a vulnerability.

Might be nice to be able to tag libraries that should be ignored in audits. Perhaps there is such a function, not really a NPM expert. But if your projects has too many of these "high severity" problems, you probably stop doing them.

Still, I think the availability of such audits from the package manager is quite neat. As an embedded dev I think these are certainly luxury problems.
That's good, but it's so frustrating that ISPs can't just give out a permanent address range for the lifetime of a subscription. Imagine if your telephone number changed occasionally.

> Criminalization of dark patterns?

Criminalisation is actually better than regulation. Regulation is about what you do. Criminalisation takes into account what you did and what you intended to do.

One year ago, you followed every website design of the time, and made the "Please respect my privacy" button look like a the text in some terms and conditions, but the "Please sell all my data in a way that will increase my costs and make you many many dollars" look like a get-rid-of-this-inconvenience button.

Since then, regulations came up that banned this behavior. You didn't hear about it and you got sued by the regulation agency. Bummer.

Since then, criminal law changed that banned this behavior. You didn't hear about it and there's plenty of evidence that you were just acting in good faith - including the fact that you never actually sold the data because you're too busy attracting paying customers. You're alerted to the issue and immediately in good faith ask what they recommend and implement that. Your behavior before, during and after the event all showed a complete lack of intent. So why would you be criminally prosecuted?

It's the business who have the resources to do A/B testing on barely known features who mysteriously have no data about this interface that every user comes into contact with at least once, who need to be worried about this. There would be good reason to suspect that they tried to cover up their misdeeds. Even in the absence of positive evidence, it would be evidence of bad faith if they are a business that makes more money of user data than entire countries make off everything they do and don't consider the laws around user data.

The bigger issue is that it would be a pretty major change of direction.
