No but there is a medication that I like the side effect of. I take an alpha 2 receptor agonist to lower blood pressure. It has the side effect of increasing HGH production which is a positive for me. I don't like the other side effects though. Some people abuse this drug for the sleepiness side effect but I would gladly do without that effect.
1. Not “gatekeeping” their decision. They just might have to wait a few hours before they can carry it out.

2. I’m not sure of your point here. I meant if the parent wasn’t around to provide the cash the kid might have to wait until they are around. Not that they need someone to take them to the store (although this is highly dependent on where you live and the age of the kid).
If those kids are actually their friends, they’ll make it work.
> Chinese corporations [are an] extension of the Chinese state

The Chinese state defines Chinese laws so this is basically restating the GP's point that "Tencent is doing this to comply to Chinese laws"

It's technically true for American corporations (which follow American laws created by the American government), but as you mention, it's not quite the same because the American system of government has significantly higher inertia and building consensus is significantly higher effort, so you generally only see the effect in certain industries that span decades-long bi-partisan projects (e.g. military industrial complex)
One thing to add is that the prime minister is often appointed by the president so he does not really hold any real power. I think the closest equivalent in the US system would be the Vice President, except that the prime minister can often be replaced at the president's discretion before the end of the term.
> “A group of unidentified individuals, some of them speaking Spanish, attacked [...]”

This is peculiar. Might just be too early for the dust to have settled, but both tagesschau.de [1] and Le Monde [2] report both Spanish and English for to be spoken by the attackers.

Edit: The Guardian [3] also quotes only Spanish, but later speaks of an English-language announcement on a megaphone. Guess we'll have to wait for a bit until things converge to The Truth™ here.

It's kinda weird that you focus on the fortunes of "wealthy professionals" in that disaster.

Alass: Automatic Language-Agnostic Subtitle Synchronization
Given how many acronyms get slung around on the broader web with 0 context, are you really going to nitpick on one that's labelled in a byline? It just explains the prefix of the blog.
Yeah, rather than targeting advertising I'd prefer to get to the actual point, and target mass surveillance and collection of huge troves of personal data no matter the purpose.

Ban monetizing data (no selling, no pay-for-access, no derived products) and make leaks guaranteed to be expensive, so companies only keep what they have to to operate, with some large multiplier attached to the leak fine if it was related to banned activities.

Done.

The advertising is a symptom, it's not the disease.
Corona Game
I built the site and I agree. :)

Two things:

1. The data is in the process of being updated. Prices change quickly and from the trend of past changes I fully expect these prices to drop as soon as I make the change.

2. While the ITU (and other data sources) try their best to look at all sources, I have to take them at their word. I've heard several times that they seem to have overlooked plan A or plan B, so it doesn't surprise me if there are other plans lurking out there.

Long-story short, it's absolutely best to consider this as a gauge/appromixation, rather than a scientific exact number.
Anyone who honestly thinks the USA is a "failed state" needs to contextualize what an actual failed state looks like. Murdering the president in his sleep is not a good look!
There was an earlier submission from another site that got eventually flagged. It had not attracted that many on-topic comments but here is the link anyways:

I found it interesting to follow the thought process, and enjoyed the read myself.

It struck me that energy costs (which involves location etc) weren't included, but perhaps that's in the final service?
This seems like a curious data set because it’s likely to be often very misleading about the adult person’s interests.

I spent all my money on computer games at age 12. At 19 I thought they were pointless and never bought one for the next fifteen years. The teenage data set would have been worse than noise for someone trying to sell me stuff.

> The head of state is the leader of the country. They deal with other heads of states, and typically are in control of the military.

Not quite true, at least not in limited constitutional monarchies, like the UK and Canada (I'm Canadian): The Queen is the Head of State for both the UK and Canada (and for many other countries) and her role is almost exclusively ceremonial (without getting into the role of the Governor General, who represents Her Majesty when she is out of the country).

In both the UK and Canada, the head of government is the Prime Minister, that is, the leader of the party that controls the House of Parliament. In both countries, they do far more than "bureaucratty stuff" since, among other things, they choose and chair the cabinet, set the overall government agenda, etc. The military reports to cabinet through the appropriate minister(s).

(Mitchell Sharp once wrote a book on Canadian government in which he rightly asserted that ours is government-by-cabinet, more than government by parliament....)

In both countries, the PM is effectively head of the executive branch, but definitely not head of state, as well as sitting atop the legislative branch.
that's an interesting argument, but i it doesn't add up. i only need one baker to cover all my daily need for bread, but the software that i use requires thousands of developers to maintain. so, yes, while a single developer can reach millions of people, that single developer only contributes a tiny fraction to the life of each of them.

you have to really look at the recipient side of things. how much of a factor is IT in the life of an individual, compared to other professions?

of course they are not all equal. a hairdresser is needed once a month, the baker daily, the doctor once a quarter, IT, well, depends on what kind of work i do. of course it's not all equal. but we also have many more programmers than bakers.

the value of each of those varies for each individual, but in the end it all balances out. i am not advocating that everyone should get exactly the same pay, but there is no reason that one particular profession must be strictly more valuable than another.
Well Switzerland is not completely EU so I’m not sure if it has the same data protection laws.
Certainly, the actual act of being visited by your government is something that wouldn't happen in the US.

The difference is that of intent. The US government isn't fine with you protesting because they respect your right to threaten the power of the interests they represent, it's because they know that your protest will do literally nothing to threaten them.

Wheras in China, the government is much more susceptible to being negatively affected for protests.

When push comes to shove, if you actually do threaten the interests of the US Government, you will be killed or exiled. We saw this happen multiple times throughout US history.

This seems like it could backfire if we start to get the majority of our electricity from solar, though, right? Nighttime may not always be considered off-peak.
... I mean, I think we've always been there, or at least some of us have? I live in Ireland, which is generally less politically divided than the US, but I don't think I'd be up from moving from my current area (where 75% of people voted to allow same-sex marriage) to one of the rural areas that voted about 50%. I'd rather live in a place where only a quarter of the neighbors think I shouldn't have basic civil rights than one where half do. This doesn't seem so out there?

That's the personal angle of course, but also I'd generally prefer to live somewhere where the neighbors aren't out to get other marginalised groups, either...

US political party identification is a decent though not perfect proxy for how your neighbors are likely to feel about a whole range of issues, and _people_.
Since I know you to be a respectable and upstanding member of society, I assume all of your requests come with the word "please." Or at the very least "I request."

Your use of the word "Let's" was either a suggestion or an order. Based on your tone it appears to have been an order XD
A currency should take less than .00001% of global energy consumption to run. Absolutely no reason to burn energy like this. Use proof of stake or just convert some other valuable entity like stock into currency.
It's too bad they have been made useless. I'm not fully sure about this, but I think that if you could have two rings for user code so that applications that want to run untrusted code in a sandbox could run the main application in ring 2 and the sandboxed code in ring 3, you could make the application safe from Spectre attacks from the sandboxed code without giving up performance.
I predict the pendulum will simply swing too far in both directions.

Yup. People alive today look back the three strikes law and think “how could the voters ever wanted that?”.

But you live long enough and the the cycles start to emerge. If crime gets bad enough in the cities you’ll see a repeat of the 70-90s where law and order was priority #1.
I think you missed the idea that immortality is the inflection point. What you say is true so after technology brings us to a certain point then we can adopt more Elvish ways.

The same inflection point is reached in Diamond Age when technology advances sufficiently to allow for "seed" tech to displace "feed" tech.
You're not wrong about that. The UK has tried this again just for Britain, but the EHCR denied them.

Announcements don't cost money.

I would bet small sum of money, that when it comes time to hire lawyers to prepare to file the lawsuit, it ends there. Lawyers ask payment beforehand and Trump refuses.

Yeah, the obvious example is the UK, where the Queen is head of state and the PM is the head of government. Other westminster inspired systems sometimes keep around the monarchy (represented by the governor general) or replace the role with an elected president.

Usually such a role is a literal figurehead, or a de facto figurehead who de jure has power but culturally is not supposed to exercise them, (such as the aforementioned Queen, or the Irish President). Attempts by such a de facto figurehead to use powers they officially have have led to controversy, such as the 1975 incident with the Australian Governor General (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Australian_constitutional...)
Me. Those areas are boring and soulless.
I feel like this is very different in kind.

Are there any other countries that enforce a daily time limit on an activity, whether for children or adults?

It seems either an activity (like smoking) is typically banned entirely or allowed; having it be partially allowed like this is difficult to enforce and consequently invites weird and invasive measures like these.
I was actually really impressed with the effort to educate people about truffles last time I went.

I used to be all for total privacy, but I found that future to not be sustainable. Perhaps I'm just jaded, but privacy just gets in the way.

That's not your decision, I decide what matters to me, whether I want my privacy or this nebulous sustainability, whatever this is suppose to be.

Wrong. I am using your IP as part of a scheme to fingerprint you. I want my rate limit to limit each person separately. An IP address is just a somewhat decent way to approximate that.

Then let me turn this around, if using my IP address in this scenario is surveillance, then don't do it. If it is necessary, then ask me for permission, can we use your IP address to fight off attacks and ensure the availability of our website or do you prefer that the website might not always be available due to attacks? And the same applies if you want to rate limit all users, offer the choice between not using your website or opting in for IP based rate limiting. It's that easy.

For those who are not quite getting what this site was about. It was Paul's personal, creative outlet for various ideas that were not quite serious enough for a SIGGRAPH paper. As far as I can see, it hasn't changed from the 90s when it was first published. Quite the time capsule to a day before Google when the web was new, 3D graphics was mainly in workstations and digital cameras were rare items. Not to mention, back when very few used the web as a personal, creative outlet.

I don't know if that's what GP meant. Elves also suffered from the ravages of cold, famine seas etc. It's just that in general they were tolerated and treated infinitely better by the natural world then humans. And almost anything else living, actually. But the truth is, even in Tolkiens world, Nature is hostile to all living things. Arda conspires with time to sap the powers of even the mightiest of the Lords. It kills countless elves. So your interpretation of "nature isn't kind" is clearly wrong.

Seems like the mobile industry and ISPs in Canada have the same problem as in Australia: too few people across too wide a space. The incumbents will only agree to improve and service their network if they are given protected positions by their government. Leads to results like 10Mbps fibre NBN "broadband" and CAD$80+/mo plans for 30GB of data. Far inferior to that enjoyed by UK and Europe.

Well, in the end channel binding would be the best option which really mitigates some threat vectors. For example MITM, secrets extraction out of the browser and so on. But the big issue is that this is not widely supported.

Using the IP as means is IMO nonsense with todays use of CG-NAT, VPN and so on. It does not rely help securing something.

But these are just my 2 cents ;-)

Disclaimer: I wrote the article
The analogy breaks at the point "won't enter your home". Current surveillance tech does exactly the analogous of that. It's rather like having a cop sitting at home pinky-promising not to listen or storing any conversation.

Maybe it's even worse. There are third-party analytics tools which send out any key-stroke you do, even if you don't submit any form.

It has become the new normal. Take todays article in Ars Technica on Audacity (https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/07/no-open-source-audac...). The author has no complaint about the fact that a tool for local editing of audio files reaches out to the internet to send data about the user and seemingly defends this on grounds that it is opt-in. That's fine but that code is needlessly there. There's no reason whatsoever for it. And I am tired of being told that surveillance is for my benefit. No, it's not. It's solely for the benefit of the surveillor.
> I have seen plenty of people calling for laws regulating mystery boxes for example on this very forum, and you could have the exact same parental responsibility argument there too.

Although I totally get your point, I think there's a difference between both laws. "Loot box law" would limit what a company (or any legal person) can do, trying to save some physical person (a child) from some kind of harm (addiction) effected from the company.The "gaming law" limits what the physical person can do with their own time.

I understand how a law that limits third-parties (and mostly, companies) is perceived different than a law that limits the self (or invades the responsibilities of the parents inside a family).

I was replying to a post that said "Some people think it's relevant that a new coronavirus emerged next door to a lab working on new coronaviruses".

There's that word "emerged" (in reference to Wuhan) that you pointed out that I also used in my post. I was replying, with a supporting source, that this is not a certainty.

From the source I quoted earlier [0]:

> "I would be a bit careful about pinpointing a place (of origin), because we don't have many samples from the early phase," he says. "But it seems to me we shouldn't restrict ourselves to Wuhan when looking for the origin."

> Asked if his ongoing research should quash speculation that the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab, Forster is circumspect. "It's not black and white. All I can say is it doesn't look to me as if Wuhan is the prime candidate, because A exists in other regions of China at that time at possibly a higher frequency."

I've repeated this because it seems to be a common misconception that the virus first appeared in Wuhan when in fact there is some evidence to the contrary.
