Yes, but they are often taken out of context in a misleading way. His statements about melting in Greenland being slower than 80 years ago, for example, are highly misleading, presented in a way to lead the reader to believe that melting in Greenland is decelerating when in fact it is accelerating, it just happened to be exceptionally high for a single year, 80 years ago. Other misleading techniques are the straw-man, there he says something like tornados are not increasing in frequency, leaving the reader to assume that climate models predict increasing tornado frequency when in fact they do not predict that.

Sorry Danny, it's a big mistake on our side, the privacy policy should be crystal clear.

- On calendar's data: we only use the title, description, etc. of the calendars you have chosen to sync in Hera.
- On google drive files, I will clarify this right now, but basically we have an export feature to google docs, which is entirely opt-in. If you want to use the feature, the first time of course you need to give us access to a small subset of your GDrive

- We do not and never intend to sell any of these data to anyone. I reword the privacy policy so that's crystal clear:)

Yep. Everything's going to be locked from the bootloader to the screen and you WILL watch the ads.

What I think will really happen is the same thing as everything else. They'll use tech to take away features / abilities we have right now and then rent it back to us as a subscription.

It’s less that than that they’re not worth the trouble without a fair amount of capital at stake. It’s not worth hiring accountants and lawyers, setting up trusts, etc. if you don’t have enough tax savings to balance out those upfront costs – for many people, it’d be easier and a better return to put the same money in an index fund.
If you truly believe it's this dire, does it matter?

It's up to that country to cut emissions even if they accept that job on behalf of other countries.

But first, lets start on just not dumping plastic into oceans, building more coal plants, and generally not cutting emissions at all (China)

Then we can worry on the manufacturing like cement and steel (I believe we should make our own steel anyway)

The more stuff we make, the more control we have over the emissions during the process. Because apparently, other countries don't give a shit.

Go look at the countries that have cut emissions. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/climate-change-co2-emissions...

That's the only metric that matters, anything else is propaganda for those who aren't.
I'm not sure what you mean by the other closer groups. My understanding of the field is that when anatomically modern humans expanded out of Africa for the first time 60Kya, they encountered Neanderthals and eventually Denisovans. What other "closer" group was out there for them to encounter?

The other anatomically modern humans were all in Africa, and it looks like there's been no interbreeding with them for at least 100K years. There has been a small introgression back into Africa by non-Africans within the last few thousand years, but that's a separate issue.
You don't get to control what my devices do just because you control a network they're transiting through. Even if DoH had never been standardised, clearly my devices can do this anyway.

On the other hand, if you actually control your devices DoH shouldn't be a problem, you can have them talk to whichever servers you prefer regardless of the protocol.

As to the lightweight thing. We get a few benefits from running DNS on top of HTTPS rather than say TLS (which also exists, as DoT)

1. HTTPS allows us to put parameters in the URL which are thus confidential (HTTPS will encrypt them) and have those control the DNS lookup. So dns-server.example can offer all its users their own URL, even though they all talk to the exact same server (dns-server.example.com) and a snoop can't tell that one device used the rank0 account while another device used the tialaramex account, those are encrypted in the URL, yet the actual server can see which is used and maybe my devices get "pure" answers while yours have ad-blocking or whatever.

2. DNS doesn't have a rich error vocabulary. For your ad-blocked domains, a traditional DNS server has to either lie (bogus answer) or claim no answer exists (NXDOMAIN or OK 0 answers) but HTTP has a rich variety of error codes. Maybe 403 Forbidden is appropriate for the Xian parent who doesn't want their teenager looking at pornhub.com and 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons is appropriate for a DNS service which excludes Pirate Bay due to lawsuits.
Well according to Google, one anchovy school can contain up to 100 million fish, so 1bn marine animals could mean all the whales died or ten schools of anchovies.

Without further information, I'm unsure what to make of the metric. Of course, microscopic animals are also animals, and important parts of the food chain, but 1billion zooplankton probably would be smaller than the anchovy schools.
This was really capturing my interest until I saw their title-cased Invented Solution that they were promoting to fix this.
Noob question:

Does youtube show fewer ads on embedded videos?

(Or maybe uBlock just works better against embedded videos.)

If so, then maybe host a page of embedded videos.

Further, for more than a handful of videos (embedded), I'd want some kind of carousel, so you don't crush the client's browser with dozens of videos pre-loading.

(Hot damn I hate youtube.)
You don’t think the US can have things removed from social networks for “national security” reasons?
> Except that in the USA you also need to declare transfers over $10,000 to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). And this is done to find people trying to avoid paying taxes. It is the same for the European Union. And it is the same for any other country.

Re-read the article. Foreign investors literally cannot move their money* from South Africa to another country, period, if the law is followed strictly. It's not money laundering or tax issues, it's literally wealth portability.

* Technically, minus ~US$69,000.

Wow. Quoted just so others don't miss this.

It was news to me.
It would be nice if it would check the resolver config files (like the hosts file) with it enabled though.

That was a really easy way to block harmful stuff or name things without requiring DNS. Having to choose between encryption and easy configuration is pretty poor UX.

>Estate Tax laws are one area, trusts are another (they even call it the "Trust Fund Loophole"),

You can't combine both. If you use one you lose the benefits of the other, see my sibling comment.

>non-profits are a third

Sure, moving your wealth to a nonprofit is tax free. But then what? If you want to spend it (on personal stuff, not curing the word of malaria or whatever), you still get taxed.

>carried interest is a fourth

I skimmed the wikipedia article and it looks like it's just like ISOs, but for investment managers?

>The logic was that the non-financial partner's "sweat equity" was also an investment, since it entailed the risk of loss if the exploration was unsuccessful
It's not just money-laundering laws. It's also more general "financial repression", i.e. being forced to hold local currencies while the government inflates them and/or holds the interest rate down. The two tend to blur into each other, I guess.

I would also think you can 'tag' something with multiple labels/tags. Meeting X might be 'onboarding','sales','q4', findable by any of those tags. If it's in a 'stream' called 'onboarding'... that feels like something that is siloed away. Something wouldn't naturally be in 5 streams, but could naturally have 5 tags.

Copilot is not doing what your example does.

If Github had a service that automatically mirrored public repositories on Gitlab, that would be equivalent to the example you gave.

But Github is taking content under specific licenses to build something new for commercial use.

I'm not sure if what Github does falls under Fair Use, but I don't know that it matters. I can read fifty books and then write my own, which would certainly rely—consciously or not—on what I had read. Is that a copyright violation? It doesn't seem like it is but maybe it is and until now has been impossible to prosecute?
You just blew my mind with that analogy. I can only imagine some hair-splitting logic to rationalize a distinction.

The world is global. That's a US court ruling from one court of appeals. Most countries have narrower fair use rights than the US. Even if Copilot would fall within that legal precedent (far from guaranteed), a legal challenge in any jurisdiction worldwide outside the US states covered by that particular court of appeals, or which reaches the US Supreme Court, or which goes through the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals due to the initial complaint including a patent claim, would not be bound by that result and (especially in a different country) could very plausibly find otherwise.

What's more, if any of the code implements a patent, fair use does not cover patent law, and relying on fair use rather than a copyright license does not benefit from any patent use grant that may be included in the copyright license. If a codebase infringes a patent due to Copilot automatically adding the code, I can easily imagine GitHub being attributed shared contributory liability for the infringement by a court.

Not a lawyer, just a former law student and law feel layman who has paid attention to these subjects.
That will be one of the changes. Humans do not require instant gratification. It’s a luxury. We will be forced to give it up when it becomes unaffordable.
Pardon my ignorance, but can’t you simply host your own DoH server where you choose the domains you want to block, which in turn points to a DNS / DoH server you trust? I guess it wouldn’t be more difficult than hosting your own filtered DNS server like Pi-Hole.
> If I take your hard work that you clearly marked with a GPL license and then make money from it, not quite directly, but very closely, how is that fair use? Or legal?

If I'm Google, and I scan your code and return a link to it when people ask to find code like that (but show an ad next to that link for someone else's code that might solve their problem too), that's fair use and legal. My search engine has probably stored your code in a partial format, and that's fine.
Linux + nftables (nft) also isn't a bad choice. I just replaced all my iptables scripts with nftables equivalents and it was actually a pretty enjoyable experience. Some highlights of nft over bash scripts with iptables commands:

1.) Your firewall scripts are now atomic (if using nft as your interpreter instead of bash), so either the entire ruleset gets applied, or nothing does.

2.) There's a nice declarative form of the nft syntax which I prefer (vs a more imperative style which we're all used to with pf (in the BSD world), or iptables)...both forms are executed atomically when the nft interpreter is used.

3.) The presence of an actual 'include' statement makes it possible to break your fw scripts up into multiple files, for better organization and readability. This also all gets executed atomically.

Overall I found it to be an enjoyable experience.

NSA at it again with the psy-ops
Yeah I should have phrased it better -- I'm not opposed to just sharing it from some sort of "I should monetize this" or "you owe me if you want this golden nugget of a genius idea I have," I just don't really see the how of sharing it. Just a post saying here is an idea that someone should do?

I mean, I think I'm convincing myself, I reckon that is exactly the route.
Doesn’t the poor farmer in China deserve electricity though? US + EU got to use coal (and still do) for 150 years before we even started discussing eliminating its use.

If the West isn’t going to let the world use coal or other carbon heavy solutions, they need to pay the cost differences. It isn’t fair to impose poverty on everyone else after reaping the benefits of carbon emissions. We will never get global buy-in for the needed emission cuts if there is no recognition of this.
Just remembering what someone from the trade directorate of the EU told me a some years ago about Bitcoin: "If it starts to have a real impact on the ability to collect taxes and control money transfers we are simply going to make it illegal".
NASDAQ was 1100 when this was written, which means if you'd done the (implied) opposite and instead bought, then even in the bottom of the coming crash, you were still up ~10%. And of course, if you'd held then you'd have pocketed 1000% in the pandemic.

The way Jim Wales and wikimedia in general acted throughout this whole controversy was so eye opening. Wikimedia very rarely goes on a heads on confrontation on copyright issues and is (rightfully!) very cautious in the way it enforces IP laws. But they didn't mind openly mocking and almost ruining the life of an independent photograph that couldn't even afford his own defense at the end.
1) So you are saying if I get a disk duplication machine I can freely copy and distribute blu ray disks as long as I don't watch the movie on the disk?

2,3) Seems pretty settled at this point, look at the cases around the VCR and copy machine. In general the one using the machine is liable. The creator of the machine can be held liable if there aren't substantial non infringing uses.
Ah my bad for the confusing wording on that. And yes agreed.
The comments here miss the point. Sure you can’t cash out all your stock at once without serious effects.

There is no need to sell any stock though to access insane wealth. I racked up a bill on that site worth 5% of Elon’s value and went pretty wild. Elon could easily tap into that wealth tomorrow with a loan from a bank backed by collateral from his stock without selling a thing. So he maintains control of his companies, doesn’t pay taxes (as he sold nothing), and can literally buy anything he could ever imagine without having any serious effect on his net worth

No, this is the opposite of what the parent said. They said that they could *keep the UX* but improve the underlying technology. This would remove the dependence on the phone system, and open up some users, departments and offices from moving away from fax slowly.

They aren't suggesting that every user sets up their own raspberry PI, but instead suggesting that IT can transparently replace the technology.
I did the same thing, pulled up my pfSense config in a VM side-by-side with the fresh OPNSense install and manually ported everything over.

This is just depreciation. It's an accounting thing, not a tax thing. Everyone gets depreciation. Any dollar you spend to make money you usually get to deduct. Propublica seems to hate depreciation. These articles are hard to read sometimes. Depreciation is a real thing. It reflects the use of the underlying asset.

A syntactic differ like Difftastic is very helpful when your codebase is autoformatted. Formatters often reflow code.

Given the code:

foo(one, two, three);

If you add an argument and reformat:

foo(
one,
two,
new,
three
);

A line-based diff can make it hard to spot what's changed.
So, exactly what Bruce Lee did. Read his books. He talks about how he was disappointed with traditional martial arts and how he was always interested in finding the most effective techniques and ideas.
