Damn, that's some sci-fi level shittery. Reminds me of something I watched - where a person created an impromptu hacker persona, to expose a corporation corruption.

Then that hacker pseudonym was reused by other corporate actors to cause PR nightmares for each other.
I would strongly advise against tweeting your home address as some sort of experiment.
I get where you're coming from, but my guess is that such a law would cause more harm than benefit. Think of all the potential for abuse. Politicians (and other government officials) could use it to imprison almost anyone who protested outside their homes.
This question surprised me. In that any one could read a random comment on the internet as anything other than opinion? There most certainly arguments to be in support or against (Reagan busting up the air traffic controllers is an easy example from that era) but the entire notion is clearly one sided and clearly not fact.
I agree. Currently not many people use open source on their phones, but that could change, and things like F-Droid are ready to be used.
What if we build a computer that would do something with those things? Additionally, if I care about neither food nor drink nor money nor cars, am I not in the world?
> The profit does not come from the source code, but from the assets.

The source code enables the profitability of the assets. In the end the distinction is irrelevant to this matter. This is like saying Facebook doesn’t make money from its platform but from its deals with advertisers.
No. This essentially allows providers (Facebook et al) to look at the messages their users are sending. They used to be allowed do this in the EU, and have always been allowed do it in the US.
The issue with having your address known isn't a random person showing up to your door, because the chances of any of them actually coming to your place is very low. The issue is having the police showing up at your door with guns blazing. This has become a huge issue for live streamers and youtubers and has led to deaths.

I pulled up the /g/ thread this dev linked and edited out the inevitable 4chan lingo.

My opinion is that this guy did a poll. 4chan did what it does and spammed it with votes for a name they knew the guy wouldn't like. He cancelled the poll and got in a slap fight with 4chan. Now they are making their own fork.

>As the first people were literally arriving at my place of living, where they knocked on my doors and windows to scare us, I am hereby officially stepping down as a maintainer of this project.

He is also claiming that people from 4chan are knocking on his doors and windows and has contacted the police.

Active Record Encryption in Rails 7
Rails 7 will be introducing a very cool new feature for ActiveRecord - application-level encryption. In this post, we will take a high-level look at how to use this functionality, discuss some cool things it can do, and acknowledge some of its limitations.
Bonn was a temporary capital of West Germany. Berlin was the always the capital of a Germany which was unified around 1870 from about a dozen smaller states, like Bavaria, Saxony, Prussia, Silesia, etc. Read up about Bismarck, he was the main driver for a unified Germany.

The Prussians formed a unified Germany, so their choice of capital was a Prussian city.

I’ve got plenty of original Gameboy games, and they all run at 60 FPS just fine. Developers need to design for the hardware.
The absurdity is that these trolls clearly found Audacity useful. But because of them not knowing when to stop, they're going to end up with a much shittier product, possibly having just killed the future of Audacity, without the support of real devs like this one.

After all, what serious developer would continue working on this knowing this project is going to endanger their life?

A researcher discovers, say, a particular way to make a room temperature superconductor, and writes a paper describing how to make it, how they tested it, and giving a theoretical explanation of how it works.

That paper would be subject to copyright.

However, if I go read the paper at the library and then use the knowledge I gained from it to make the superconductor and test it and applied the theory I learned from the paper to other superconductors, that would not violate the copyright of the paper.

If I wanted to then tell you how to make the superconductor, I would not be able to make a copy of the original paper and give you that copy. That would be violating the copyright on the paper.

But I could write up my own description of how to make it in my own words, using what I learned from the paper, and give you that description. That would be fine from a copyright point of view.
I mean, okay, I can see that, but they're not really equivalent examples, are they? The README isn't setting up a carousel, dealing with custom styles, or embedding an interactive example. There isn't really any way to implement these two Quaint examples that won't look like code. [1] or [2] are more representative of using Quaint like Markdown, although in that situation it's less clear what the advantages are, because there's not a lot in there that Markdown would do poorly.

[1] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/breuleux/blog/master/conte...

[2] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/breuleux/blog/master/conte...

In any case, it does appear the discoverability of straightforward examples leaves something to be desired, so thank you for making me realize that.

To me the advantages of Quaint is that I can easily define custom operators to do nonstandard things unobtrusively. For instance, if for some reason I want to emphasize some words in italic orange, I can easily set it up so that e.g. /xyz would highlight xyz in italic orange. Silly example, but there are a lot of valid use cases.
Agreed, this is completely baffling. Either I'm missing something in the story, or my model of how the world works is broken.

So you're telling me that a bank is going on 4chan to start raids? Please, no CEO knows what a 4chan is.
Let me help your imagination: the users of your language ask you to help them get auto completion when they write code in this language.

How much more complicated would that make things based on the two choices?

And, just for completeness, here's an example that turns things around: your users are asking you to change the syntax und use lisp-like evaluation/expressions. So (* 3 (+ 1 2)) instead of 3 * (1 + 2). Or, they ask you to do it the other way around.

How much more complicated would that make things based on the two choices?

Why does the internet make this magic? There's plenty of real world harrasment that goes on every single day. Usually relationship related. People get killed over it. Often after making a long series of calls to the police.

Besides, on this forum you'll have plenty of people arguing that abuse is just speech and it's wrong to ban people from organizing harassment on the internet. I don't agree, but that's the wellspring of this culture.
> I don't have a problem with articles pointing out racism and sexism

Neither do I. Nothing in my comment says otherwise. But it is silly to criticize a book for not mentioning racism. There are plenty of books on racism. It is not the case that literally every book needs to be about racism.
I'm not very familiar with this field, why is chlorination required in addition to peroxide? Is it because it's pretty stable and so provides protection after the water has left the treatment plant?

If that's the case, I suspect that the type of decentralized system the authors think that this is useful for would be a nature where that's less of a concern. Smaller system leading to decreased time/distance between processing and use.

I'm REALLY going out on a limb here, but we hear about people who have to go and fetch their water supplies every day (perhaps multiple trips per day). I suspect that sources on that scale are where this might be useful.
Tough to say, as each hospital sets it up on their own. https://www.asge.org/docs/default-source/coding/colonoscopy_.... There might be a number of different codes applied to the same layman term for a procedure, so using Estimates and MyChart messaging with a financial counselor is frequently the fastest way to get the real answer.
Yeah, that's a good point. But I mean, on the other hand, free pizza.

Actually, this is a good example. There have been ~two high profile swatting incidents resulting in death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatting#Injuries_or_deaths_du...

Dying in a car crash is a lot higher probability for most of us, but the question is whether publishing one's address would raise the probability significantly.

I'm not sure it would. And it's hard to think of what else people can do, other than, as you say, subscribe you to a bunch of fetish mailing lists that I'd probably get a kick out of anyway.

My point was about whether the standards themselves were wrong.

You mention that the fire safety cert. was forged, they missed out firebreaks and there was a lack of escape routes. Also inadequate alarms and several other failings.

That is "just" crass negligence (dangerous and as it turns out massively fatal, negligence)

My point is that there also seems to be a possible systemic failure. There seem to be a few document releases since the disaster, of updates to standards. That implies that the standards themselves were inadequate and that is also a problem.
The point of the blockchain is that it’s a computing platform that would allow you to write decentralised software.

Having something on the blockchain doesn’t mean it can never be fixed. It’s just data and that data can never be deleted, but it can be amended and superseded.
that’s an incredibly bad idea, 4chan posters have actually assaulted people, people have died from swatting, some of these people are very unstable

I want to agree with you on some level, not all negative emotions are bad. It definitely seems like a lot of people pushing 'mindfulness' are pushing some utopian, culty good vibes version where we try to ignore or subdue all negative emotion.

But overall, being able to focus on your breathing (and control your anger, and control the consequences of your emotions) is a good thing, and it doesn't demand that you ignore whatever it was that made you feel stress in the first place.
I would go with the cash, as unless someone is seriously gaming the system about 1 in 8 human beings on the planet would have to create an account and follow the celebrity for them to get 1 billion followers assuming only real accounts counted.

Even a twitter verified Jesus Christ, son of the one true God would have a somewhat difficult time drumming up 1 billion twitter followers, and he has at least that many followers in real life.
4chan is still a bit of a black box to me. I mean, I guess that's the point? I am pretty curious who these people are, mostly how old they are. I occasionally go rummage through it to see if it's still 4chan, and it always is. 4chan is one of the few places/things on the internet that makes me genuinely uncomfortable.

How is this relevant? The parent poster made a testable statement ("there are no other options outside of non-MD healthcare work if you want income that even begins to keep up with inflation"), and I disproved it by pointing out that even the bottom 10% of Americans are keeping up with inflation and then some.
Okay, how do the checkpoints work, and how are they decentralized?
Analogies start to break down once we are talking at this detailed level.

The best I can come up with is this:

Imagine you are implementing a system to give the correct answer to the addition of any two numbers between 1 and 100.

One way to implement it would be to build a large database, loaded with "x" and "y" and their sum. Then when you want to find out what 1 + 2 is you do a lookup.

The other method is to implement a "sum" function.

Both give the same results. The first process is a database lookup, the second is akin to a generative process because it's doing calculation to come up with correct result.

This analogy breaks down because a NN does have a token lookup as well. But the probabilistic computation is the major part of how a NN works, not the lookup part.
I carefully turn them all off. I'd much rather have a setting that says "I don't want to participate in your bullshit". We tried such a thing as "Do Not Track", but companies weren't playing along. So now we have to have this regulation, and you should be upset at the companies who necessitated that regulation, not at the people who are doing their best to keep it being a choice.

> There might be some nuances of interpretation, but people in the UK have every right granted under the first amendment. We have an established religion yes, but we still have freedom of religion. That’s really the only significant caveat I can think of.

Well it's clear from this that you don't understand the US first amendment. Firstly, people in the UK are regularly investigated by the police and often convicted in criminal court for saying or publishing "grossly offensive" things. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible in the US. Secondly, and more subtly, no rights are granted by the first amendment. It just sets the limits of what the government can do.

> Every persons right is another person’s responsibility. If you have the right to free speech, I have the responsibility to tolerate you exercising it

OK, if that's all you meant by saying that rights come with responsibilities, fine. That is just restating a right as a responsibility. So if I have the right to own a gun, then I have the responsibility to tolerate you owning a gun. OK. But I'm not sure how this helps your argument at all.

> Just saying it’s your right and you feel no obligation to justify it, is no good argument for others to continue granting it if they feel the cost is too high.

But I'm not asking anyone to grant me anything. You're still taking the position that the default situation is that I need permission. What I've been trying to explain to you is that that's only how it works everywhere else. In the US, it works the other way around. If you really can't get past the idea of people "granting" rights, then maybe you can think of it like this: Americas gun owners haven't granted anyone the right to interfere with their guns. You think they should? Then you justify it.
That’s really more a situation that the UK put itself in. The EU didn’t force it to ratify the Good Friday Agreement.

Given that the UK is a party to the Good Friday Agreement, AND it wants to leave the EU and no longer comply with EU law, the current situation, or something very similar, is inevitable. You can’t have your cake and eat it.

What I am saying is that I have seen a lot of evidence for organized/professional sentiment manipulation in 4chan, and there are tons of collected threads that describe how the organizations that are paid to post in 4chan work. I assume it is a professional service being sold.

For example, every time I tried to make threads around this YouTube video exposing the lobbying practices of Exxon Mobile against climate change fighting measures, my thread would get derailed into racist stuff that had nothing to do with the video and would get the thread eventually locked.

All I'll say is that Cookie also provoked the trolls by changing his Github bio to some of their comments [0]. There's no right side here, but if you're ever put in a position where the majority of your users disagree with the way you're handling a project, it's probably best to step down rather than confronting them. That kind of democracy is what keeps open source development viable.

> The EU could've had an internal border within it's own market, but that wasn't an option because they didn't want Ireland to be cut off.

Eh? No, it couldn’t; Ireland would obviously veto that. Outside of the fevered imagination of Boris Johnson, that was never an actual option.

I think there was a Brexiter theory that Ireland would do this voluntarily, and become a sort of UK dependency, but this was never at all realistic.

I wouldn’t discount the possibility that some major brexit figures actually believed this would happen and were surprised that it didn’t, because they’re, well, not winning any prizes for competence (you may remember David Davis believing that the UK could make a trade deal with Germany, say…) But no-one serious ever bought this concept.

I think people too often conflate education with productive (building human capital).

On the other hand, putting people through university does not necessarily make people more productive (in the economic sense). To make people more productive, you need to match the skills and knowledge imparted with a unfilled demand.

The problem rises when education is co marketed as an opportunity for personal development and career development people don't realize until after which ones they got.

You're right. I wish we did though. IVF is so expensive in America that it's cheaper to fly to South Korea and get the procedure done there, by $10's of thousands.

Even still, would 4chan really dare mess with someone's kid? Generally they try to avoid going to prison, or vigilante retribution.

I guess you're right though. Thanks for pointing that out. I can think of a few ways 4chan could troll someone's child without risking themselves.
AirbnbCoin is potentially one of the hardest of these to implement.

Some of this would be fixed by something like hypersign which will tokenise ID/reputation.

Some other parts of this could be fixed, let’s speculate - with a token that rewards people for verifying that houses around the world that are up for rent are real and match the photos.

The point is - having a centralised company doing something can be replaced with 10 000 individuals doing the same thing with the right crypto token that rewards the right kind of activity.

Hard ? Yes. Impossible? No way. Get a lot of smart people on the problem and they will figure out the Best incentive structure. Figure out enough incentives and you abstract away a layer of the software stack - customer support, verification ID, verification of real-world items.

That’s what we’re seeing now - layer by layer of applications will become tokenised until the application layer becomes obvious.
These are skilled trades, it's quite a challenge to compare them with factory work that used to employ a large blue-collar population.
This response is correct.
There has been huge trend from the audience towards overanalysing plots and story details. Specifically, to analyse them independently from the emotional and storytelling aspects. Jump onto reddit and you see everyone ripping apart the details of Star Wars, the Marvel Universe, Chris Nolan films, etc.

I think that this is a mistake. The point of the plot is to support the story. It doesn't matter if it's logical if it makes you feel something powerful. The plot needs to be strong enough to hold up during the running of the film when the viewer immersed in the story.
