I feel like you need more than guns, as there are already groups preparing for this sort of thing are not only well armed, but appear to be well armored as well. Ofc, the sort of thing I imagine would counter that well could probably land you an open file with the FBI if you do too much research into them.
My ISP is fine. But no way am I going to let anyone who happens to be upstream of my visitors make arbitrary changes to my site!
Not alone at all. My main reason for not moving from Catalina to Big Sur is because they've done this height/margin increase across the board to controls in Big Sur (toolbars in Finder, menubar icons, etc). I spend 100% of my time on macOS using a 13 inch laptop monitor. I need all the space I can get for actual content.
Sometimes only one side wants the relationship.

In that case, they're the ones that have to work on it.
Ah, this is indeed helpful. English isn't my first language - so such subtleties are definitely beyond my linguistic perception.

Yeah, I googled 'sega keymaster' to see what the game looked like and the first result was a 2014 video in which the person demonstrating the game described it as "pretty much luck" and "not due to pay out no matter how accurate you are."

I think technology is fundamentally a tool for organizations, and as such will always evolve to reflect the larger organization. You can see this in software design and it is also seen in the IT infrastructure architecture.
It is the "next closest" right?
I was really hoping for them to fix it but keep the toppy-tabs... Exactly this design but switch the url bar and the tab bar.

If you think about the logical hierarchy of controls on a browser it should be:

- global stuff (extensions, sidebar reveal button, etc...)

- tabs

- url, forward/back/reload buttons, etc..

If you're going to mix the global controls with url I still think the tabs should go on top (like real-world tabbed folders). Chrome gets this right and Safari should just copy them.
There are a lot of optics nerds in the world who will insist that the current state of VR is Broken Beyond Redemption because of their pet vision feature they learned about in intro to biology. It's not. Yes, it's not perfect, but it's still better than a 2D screen.
A battery is just a tepid chemical reaction that we can easily reverse, which is why we accept the poor energy density. If we could find a dense fuel that didn’t throw off a lot of carbon dioxide or methane, synthesizing that would probably be better.

The difference is that the impaired driver is a preventable hazard; the puncture is sudden and unexpected. The actual issue is the lack of accessible public transportation that perpetuates the need for a person with some impairment to continue driving a vehicle.
Only compared to an unencrypted hard drive locked in an American basement.

An unencrypted hard drive stored in a locked Chinese basement is probably quite a bit more secure from FBI intrusion than the encrypted iPhone that they physically possess.

Physical access still matters a lot.
It's not whataboutism because, from your link:

Literally all of the complaints are about them rejecting trash sources and debunked nonsense. Good on Wikipedia.
Most people are not qualified to be doctors. We don't just throw up our hands and conclude genocide would be the only answer and it is unacceptable therefore we need to let anybody do organ transplants.

Statistical literacy isn't so low we cannot make it a requirement to be a judge. The gatekeeping for once would be the start of a solution - make statistical literacy a qualification for well paying jobs and many will steer themselves to it.

Perpetual war in a far off land that has pretty much zero impact on people at home.

Inequality sure, but the economy has been on a tear in the US since the 90’s, contrast that with the decade of the Great Depression.

And the riots now are nothing compared to the 60’s riots worldwide.

The last 20-30 years have definitely been easy times for the developed world. Not without challenges (2008 crash) but relatively speaking easy times.

Seems like much ado about nothing unless SpaceX is outright lying:

> SpaceX told the FAA in May that it did not believe the review was necessary because it only intends to use the "integration tower for production, research, and development purposes and not for FAA-licensed or -permitted launches," the FAA said.

Does the FAA have jurisdiction over this tower if they're not actually using it for launches?
Thanks for that!

I'm lucky enough to know both Rob and Julian personally, but this definitely doesn't serve as an excuse not to re-read the Mom's Test.

Very good point about the ICP. We were targeting startup companies 20-250 ppl, that raised their last round in the last 6 months, sector agnostic. However we weren't sure about the right decision-maker. The three options are CTO, CEO and HR manager.

So far we had more top-of-the-funnel conversions on Linkedin ads from CEOs and HRs, but more actual sign-ups from CTO.
For me it is illuminating to meditate on some underlying assumptions here.

E.g. “I did not consent”

This type of statement assumes you have a will. If one decides that they have a free will to make decisions, it is useful to note that this is a supernatural belief (because the laws of physics have no room for free will in a stochastic universe).

If there is no free will, and nothing matters, not only did you not consent, but the entire chain of events since the creation of the universe also lacked consent.

In this sense, whatever happens, happens.

(Note: I do not believe this :) )
The problem that Facebook has compared to those other industries is that journalists blame Facebook for the decline of journalism and view Facebook as a gatekeeper. Those other companies on the other hand are valuable advertisers.
The USA has also exported large amounts of its industry to other countries, hence it's important to look at global figures.

AFAIU the crackdown in Hong Kong was predicated on a seemingly Mozi-like argument. From Wikipedia: "Some believe the best descriptor to be state consequentialism. According to this reading, Mohist ethics makes moral evaluations based on how well the action, statement, etc., in question contributes to the stability of a state. Such state-related goods include social order, material wealth, and population growth."

In other words, the protests were threatening not only the stability of the parent Chinese state, but in their duration and severity even the stability of Hong Kong itself. In doing so, the protesters were being selfish and indulgently individualistic. At least, that's the argument the Chinese leadership regularly put forth.
that's a non-sequitur. windows not being Linux at the same time that a Mac was also Unix is what created WSL 1, and the limitations of WSL 1 led to WSL 2.
> Anything that increases your exposure to strangers and builds trust will be a boon to society.

It takes a few bad exposures to ruin your mental model of strangers. And I am not convinced it is entirely a bad thing.

The concept of being surrounded by strangers is a 20-21st century urban phenomenon. In an environment where people are not strangers to each other 2 things happen; 1) they can build a more accurate model of each other and most of the time this leads to deeper reciprocal trust 2) they know their behavior is kept track by others and that changes individual behavior (I know, not always for the better. I am not trying to romanticize small town conformity). To expect the same dynamics in a city is a romanticism of different sort. Not trusting strangers because you don’t know them is rational. At least not to over-extrapolate your trust to every stranger you see.

All you can stream crap is there because there is demand, because we are going crazy in our loneliness created with truncated interpersonal reciprocity of the urban life. If you removed Netflix today, it wouldn’t automatically improve our social lives, because the structure and organization of it heavily depends on the economic demands that shaped the living arrangements in the first place.

See how even tech is capriciously resisting remote work and thus an alternative, less lonely arrangement for the workers.
Malicious compliance is a great strategy when done right.

> And he also hasn't beaten the market in over a decade.

You say that like it's an accurate condemnation of Buffett's investment skill.

A 30% - or higher - average annual return like the old days means Berkshire would have to go from a $636 billion market cap to a $8.7 trillion market cap in one decade. Yeah right.

Berkshire no longer competes with the market. It is the market. The larger you get, the harder it is to keep high returns going; Berkshire got really, really large. In terms of value it's also overwhelmingly an operating holding company, not an investment portfolio. The investment side of the business is not what drives Berkshire's stock higher, and hasn't been the primary driver for decades, operating results are.

Couldn't agree more. Tangentially, this article came to mind: http://johnsalvatier.org/blog/2017/reality-has-a-surprising-...

You don't fully appreciate the details for what you're solving until you naively take it all on and show up everyday. Slowly uncovering every nook – solving an annoying bug over the course of a week, while implementing core pieces of your product you thought would take months within a day.
With a roll of film people often tried to just take 1 or 2 photos of something. Now it's easy to take like 30 photos of some interesting thing happening. Then later how do you decide to delete 29 of them? What if a few of them captured some interesting thing you didn't expect, or if different things are accidentally in focus. It's maddening.
that there must be some evil motive behind it that I'm not seeing.

Google wants to control the entire Internet, and that means centralising power. HTTPS requires certificates issued by a small list of CAs, and they can revoke them too.

Combine that with Google's efforts and those of others of locking down the whole stack (all in the name of "security", of course), and you can see just how much power to censor "inconvenient" information they've accumulated.

People like to cheer on the companies fighting the "bad guys", not giving a second thought to letting them have more power --- nor considering that this power may one day even be used against them. Of course, this power will initially only be used for fighting malware and phishing. Then they'll start revoking sites for "misinformation"...

There's a good reason why SciHub and LibGen are accessible via plaintext HTTP.

"Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither", as the classic saying goes.

It’s a curse and a blessing. The inhibition makes it’s much easier to comfortably converse with a stranger, although the quality of discussion is likely to be trash (I can barely enunciate technical things verbally sober, and mostly sound like an idiot trying to after a few beers). The inhibition is also likely to make me discuss things that will give others a negative opinion of me (over sharing, etc.). Perhaps less of an issue when everyone in the conversation is drinking, less so otherwise.
The world now uses a universal ^Java.*? virtual machine and a smarter windowing server which does not require pushing images over the wire. Thin clients are slowly but surely becoming the norm. Companies rent out computing power by the hour. x86 is declining. Microsoft is embracing Unix.

> Even the source you linked mentions actual smelting as early as 900BCE.

Smelting does not imply that the iron or iron ore is ever in a molten state.
Ha, fair enough. If bears or velociraptors are a factor, stick with door knobs by all means :-)
Perhaps the CA could be constrained to only sign certs for *.foo.local?
I would add that the ‘crumbling’ is a matter of perspective.

Every (expired) empire on earth has been a blip on the radar of the oldest continuous organization in recorded history (the Roman Catholic Church).

Most demographers are actually predicting a precipitous drop in the population of ‘non-believers’ since secularists choose to have so few children. It might be an evolutionary dead end, so to say.
Thanks for that.

We're investing a lot in expansion in LatAm at my other company - and one thing I learned about Argetina's job market is that you have 2 tiers of developers: one working mainly for internal market and the other - for US customers. The salaries may differ by the factor of 3 or even more.

Here is a great piece of research about similar situation in Europe: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/software-engineering-sala...

Actually, the idea of Greenlight has a lot to do with this salary gap phenomenon. I see this as a big potential for a win-win.
Circumcision can be delayed until a man can consent, but it's much more traumatic if done after infancy.

I'm one of those people that people just feel comfortable opening up to.

In college, one friend told me his dad was asking him if he resented his father's decision to circumcise him. His father had to get a medical circumcision due to recurring infection due to difficult sanitary conditions in mandatory military service in his country of origin (where circumcision is uncommon). The father's experience was terrible, decided his son should never go through that, and circumcised his son. Years later, he was second-guessing the decision. My friend wasn't sure how to respond to his father, since it was clearly weighing heavily on his father, but it was totally a non-issue for the circumcised son.

Another friend told me that he was circumcised at 12 due to recurring infections (in a first-world G10 country), and is a big advocate for infant male circumcision.

Anyway, there are statistically significant benefits from male circumcision, though they are often over stated. On the other hand, the downsides to circumcision are also minor for most men. For the average male in a G10 nation, circumcision seems to be low-risk low-reward procedure, though with large fat-tail distribution on both the risks and rewards.

Fwiw, all of those except rolldice are in Nixpkgs, and you can also use Nix on top of any Linux distribution, separate from the base system, just like you use brew separate from the base system on macOS. Nix on top of Ubuntu, for example, would support all those packages. You won't like the CLI though

PS: Debian has > 3x as many packages as Arch[1]. It would surprise me very much if that was just a matter of things being more split up in Debian, or Debian's higher count of virtual packages. When people talk about Arch's great selection of packages, they're including the AUR, which is actually massive. Imo it makes more sense, then, to include the AUR in little tests like this.

That makes a lot of sense, thanks.
What I was hoping for was that we can hit some early adopters - and pass without social proof (unless your moral is flexible enough to fake it, this is not an option at inception stage anyway) and multi-touch outreach.
Yes and the authors of that book are a paleontologist and an illustrator who specializes in paleontology. The book was intended by them to cause people to question some of our assumptions and also as an entertaining look at some bizarre illustrations.

They do not actually espouse any radical ideas about the actual appearance of Dinosaurs. Like most mainstream paleontologist, they do see to believe that some or most members of the theropods could have had some amount of feathers. They seem open to the idea that other dinosaur groups and possibly archosaurs may have had something like feathers in some cases.

The have a podcast that I listen to frequently “Tetrapods Zoology Podcast”. It is interesting, informative, and tedious in places because… they are scientists acting a bit goofy but still scientists.
Without knowing the height it is hard to tell. As an amateur radio operator I can put up a tower that is just under 200 feet tall without any real approval. Past that I would need FAA approval. It gets expensive, mostly because you need to keep the tower illuminated at night.
Perhaps FCC?

There are rules about towers within some distance of an airport. Perhaps it runs afoul of those.
Sorry if this is too off topic, but that picture in the article really puts the scale of Starship in perspective. It's really huge.
How much testing can you do with a launch tower without actually launching anything? Surely any launch would have to be cleared by the FAA right?

(I could totally be wrong and there's good reasons to build this, but my initial assumption is that the only real reason to build a launch tower would be to launch stuff with it)
The idea is that your "personal" computer at work follows you from the office to a laptop, not that this is for consumers (I hope).
If you gave them fake info then it is pretty usual for it to be poorly received, though I don't know what Hetzner's past practice is. If you gave them good info that they had some kind of issue with, then maybe your complaint is valid.

I'd add: 3 weeks may not have been long enough for them to send an invoice and bill your credit card. If they didn't receive any money from you, they may not have felt like they owed you anything.
100% agree. These authoritarian corporations are out to "secure" their control over the population, squeezing and herding them however they want.

It's particularly telling when the most downvoted comments contain the most truth.
I Google and that was the first thing that came up, probably because I’m in the US. If international extradition language was easier to pull up on mobile I would have used that.

I wasn’t purposefully making the comparison but rather attempting to demonstrate that extradition is meant to follow the laws of the place where the crime took place rather than the place where the fugitive resides.

Unlike the US domestic situation, sovereign states are necessarily allowed some leeway in choosing which requests to honor. However it was my understanding that it is generally not a requirement that the alleged crime be illegal on both jurisdictions. Thank you for providing evidence to the contrary.

Outsourcing something that is not a core competency (like running virtual machines) is cheaper and safer for all but the largest organisations.
The fact that other people went through it too is a horrible, horrible metric for something being okay, and I think buying into that is its own form of sucking.
Encyclopedias as a class have tended to be contentious since they first appeared. Diderot [0] & d'Alembert's French work started in reaction to Chambers' 1751 English work. After the first volumes appeared, in 1759 their work was suppressed by authorities for being ~~too liberal. (By 1772 they had made 28 volumes.) And they inspired the 1768 English 'answer' by Macfarquhar and Bell which became the Encyclopædia Britannica.

[0] Diderot once said: 'Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.'

However the certified experts hired to contribute articles in more recent editions were selected, they tended to represent conventional opinion, and articles were kept tame enough to offend noone.
__rdtsc drift isn’t an AMD bug, it’s by design. The only way to use the rdtsc instruction is to pin code to the same physical core between calls. They probably just got lucky in that the drift always exceeded the time that elapsed between calls on other cpus or the Linux scheduler’s behavior on Ryzen 7 differs from other CPUs (I’m not familiar with Ryzen 7 but ThreadRipper is basically non-numa and needed patches to the scheduler under Windows to fix some pathological conditions).
