Anyone interested in sharing use-cases where it has helped you?
For a second, I thought I might have another thing to collect, until I saw the price of an original Davy Crockett’s almanack of wild sports of the West, and life in the backwoods.

I'm glad it was high priced. I don't need something else to collect.

(I collect books--mainly first editions, obscure industrial advertising, and books on Watchmaking.)
> and his inability to thoroughly consider differences being caused by societal factors (nature vs. nurture).

The goal was to find how to make the job more attractive to female developers. If the difference exists, then in this context the distinction does not matter.
Two thoughts. First, should undercover investigations be allowed? Should law enforcement officials be allowed to lie about their identity in order to obtain more evidence? It is not a trivial question, although I agree with you that we don't need secret police.

Second, does simply saying that public servants aren't allowed to lie...work? It seems like there are many situations where public officials lie broadly and baldly, and there is no comeuppance, not even when perjurious!

Yes, exactly. It's essentially impossible to accurately time things, especially on a laptop. To answer the second question, the best bet is to use rdtscp() when micro-benchmarking, but even that has pitfalls.
That video is hardly the final word on the matter, nor are defense attorneys necessarily paragons of good citizenship, honesty and integrity.

If a loved one of yours is kidnapped, I imagine you'll hope the witnessess will talk to the police.
"Throughout the film, Neville and his team used stitched-together clips of Bourdain's narration pulled from TV, radio, podcasts, and audiobooks."

I'd read that as using normal audio out of context.

All documentaries lie. A lot, not just a little. Bourdain's shows were never an exact truth either.

It's a new interesting way to lie though, I guess it comes down to what were are ok being lied to about.

"We worked with four companies before settling on the best. We also had to figure out the best tone of Tony’s voice: His speaking voice versus his “narrator” voice, which itself changed dramatically of over the years. The narrator voice got very performative and sing-songy in the No Reservation years."
I don't see how this is even legal. Two co-workers complaining to each other about their working conditions (their boss's conduct is part of their working conditions) is a protected concerted activity under the NLRA.
That's true. Are there any other advantages to using Ubuntu over Raspberry Pi OS? Most of my projects run headless and take advantage of the GPIOs / built in camera. Does Ubuntu support those features well too?
The nursing home analogy highlights an important aspect of the "present" of computers that goes under-reported:

Nursing homes are filled with people that no longer contribute to the economy. Agency, privacy, control, exercising of options etc are the very heart of value creation and you simply don't have them when reduced to a transparent, monitored and mined entity. The value generated by the feudal landlord carers can hardly compensate for what is potentially gone missing.

If that is so, why aren't "neighborhoods" already thriving economically and thus consigning nursing homes to the dustbin of history where they belong?

The answer probably involves many factors besides systemic inertia (recall that feudalism thrived for many centuries). Two of them must be i) oligopolistic scorched earth practices and ii) the missing digital commons (A public good infrastructure that joins private neighborhoods into a functioning whole).

While people like Zuboff and others have pointed out the insidious, corrosive nature of surveillance capitalism, the potential economic upside of alternative arrangements needs far more study.

There's a bit of a stigma, in the U.S. at least, that if you ask for a lawyer, you must be guilty. Probably comes from too much propaganda type television.

Asking for someone who understands law to come and help you is a very smart move.
Would a Kardashev Type 1 civilization have too many powerplants?

If we can get to net zero first, that would affect your model's calculation that we would require endless power plants.
Unless you just think of it like you are the person applying the "force" (to get something done), then the analogy is that you have to keep applying it but less once you get into motion.

I read that totally differently.

A interesting post by Gravity Payments CEO on taking care of employees
Here is the copy of the post made by Dan Price, the Founder/CEO of Gravity Payments, on LinkedIn:

---------

5 years ago today our employees bought me a Tesla to thank me for cutting my CEO pay 94% to pay them at least $70k.

Since then I paid them back with raises close to $100k and they paid me back again by growing the company.

Take care of employees and they will take care of you.

Because it's within the Senate's power, as he notes. Calling it "theft" is disingenuous. Using it as a pattern for future "theft" is especially strange when presidential elections have already been decided in the House.
Pretty sure it just checks against a pattern, doesn't actually check validity
A Guide to Relocating to the Netherlands for a Tech Job
Golablism killed anti-trust. If you don't aid your nation's mega corp, then they'll lose to another nation's when they receive preferential treatment. It's economic warfare and we're all fascists (in the sense of public private partnerships with regulations turning large corporations into extensions of the state for security means) now.
I'd highly recommend https://httptoolkit.tech/ for that explorative GUI phase. I found it recently and the rule configuration, UI and interception setup is significantly better than Charles/Fiddler/Proxyman.

So the end justifies the means. I'm not a fan of that philosophy, as it can be used to justify all kinds of things and leads to a lack of integrity.

Interrogations are where they think they have a case against you but it's not good enough so they try and mislead you into making their jobs easier by giving them more evidence against you.

If they're going through the effort of asking you questions in a controlled setting it's because they're trying to make sure anything they get is 100% unambiguously admissible in court.

To me, the Axiom of Choice is absolutely natural – if we can pick one element of a set then we surely can pick elements from a collection of sets, who cares that this collection can be infinite.

The problem with this axiom is that it can't be formally proven from ZF axioms. But there are a lot of other natural things that can't be proven in ZF. For example, the consistency of ZF can't be proven in ZF due to Godel's incompleteness.
I agree, it's perfectly reasonable for someone who takes a risk to receive more than I do. I could even see them receiving hundreds of times more than I do. That's a lot different than them receiving 8000 times more ($1 billion divided by the median net worth in America of $122 thousand).
Refine the "impossible burger" technology to the point where it's cost-competitive with beef burgers (or maybe see the beef prices rise a lot), and I suppose many people would switch without noticing much.

How practical is it (or not) to intercept TLS traffic for IoT devices on my network where I don't have the option of setting a proxy?

I've been on a crusade the past few years to try and get my self-signed CA onto "smart" devices in my home, but with some it's difficult or I risk damaging expensive hardware.

I've tried various ARP poisoning techniques and such in the past with limited success.
None of these are examples of ‘drive-by shootings that kill innocent, uninvolved people’.

I’m not saying that drug related violence is not a thing. It accounts for most of the gun related murders in the US, for example. Probably the same is the Netherlands.

However, innocent bystanders being at risk is not a thing.
MIT should create a galactic encyclopedia to preserve human knowledge for future generations after the collapse and perhaps a group or "Foundation" to maintain it.

That seems like an idealization of humanity imo, and is common in sci-fi. The most likely scenario is that we are average in every way.

If the rocket explodes on the launch pad, it will be a bad day.

At the same time, it shouldn't take twenty years to build a space telescope, especially since it's not like it's the first one ever. The first atomic bomb was built in 4 years.
In addition you are comparing somebody who has insurance (slovenia) to somebody who theoretically doesn't 'US'. Most people in the US get their health insurance through their employer and would pay nothing out of pocket, and if you are uninsuranced the drug companies will often times just give the drug away to you for free.

With Let's Encrypt your script can just publish a dns record "_acme-challenge.dev.app.org.dept.nsw.gov.au", and Let's Encrypt will verify it based on DNS delegations. The fact that you can publish it means you control/own the domain. A similar thing occurs implicitly with HTTP verification, the A record verifies that the owner of the domain trusts the web server (in some sense).

It sounds like Azure require some kind of manual, out of band verification. Maybe they tried emailing a well-known email (like postmaster@_nsw.gov.au), based on information from the PSL. A tiny contractor deploying a single application may control that one URL, but not the whole domain.

One thing I wonder is if his popularity is part of what caused him so much pain.

I know when people express positive things about me, all I can think of is why that’s wrong. I think I’ve manipulated people, albeit unintentionally, to believe I’m something I’m not. I believe they just haven’t figured me out yet. It makes me feel isolated and/or deceitful. It drives home this belief that even the people I love don’t really know me.

If I were in his position, the constant praise and love would annihilate me. Especially being in a position where my name is my brand and I’m actually intentionally producing content a certain way for people. Even if he was very genuine, or if I was for example, I couldn’t escape the thought that it was all a ruse and I was doing something wrong in order to have all these fans.

I don’t know. I don’t know a lot about him, but this is a significant component of the depression I experience and if I were in his position, it could very likely take me to very dark places.

I think you've got the right idea here. Worksheets are key! I have something similar at bizworklife.com, but not focused on procrastination specifically (although it's covered in one of the lessons).
Once you are dead, you no longer own your body, your voice or likeness. You cease to care about nebulous worldly concepts like intellectual property rights.
The lawyer made a follow up video clarifying that in routine traffic stops police do have autonomy. So as long as you are reasonable and just showing the policeman you aren't a public menace. So I can agree that is reasonable. For any other reason I'd have my lawyer on me no matter what.
>Expansionist civilizations with unlimited space certainly can do that. But does it really bring any benefits? The more complex the societal structure, the harder it is to change. Perhaps there is a critical mass above which it becomes detrimental to multiply beyond and all "sane" civilizations will stay below it.

If even one civilization were expansionist in the history of our galaxy, we would expect the whole place to be full of their descendants. Evolution works that way.
At least in the US, seeking help can have seriously drastic consequences on your freedom. Involuntary psychiatric holds, red flag seizures, and worse. I do not think it will ever be worth the risk to seek help, because the potential costs are more than I am willing to pay. My freedom is worth more than my life.
I think police should not be allowed to lie in any situation where it is a crime for the non-cop in the situation to lie.

Time and time again, we've seen how the justice system doesn't benefit society at large. At this point, I think it's naïve to think that's its goal. Instead, we see how it's about controlling people like Terrill Swift & feeding the prison industrial complex. In a lot of states (including Il), you can't vote while in prison. Having a conviction greatly lowers your ability to find a job, get a mortgage, or access to some government benefits.

Also Promissory Estoppel is a concept in contract law. Do you think a reasonable person would think that a police interrogation is a contract? Does it meet the elements of a contract? I don't think so.

Bollocks.

Nobody is saying this, anywhere.

More importantly, how many of those were innocent bystanders?

The point is not that people’s lives don’t matter, the point is that being caught in a drive by shooting is an absurd thing to be afraid of. You are more likely to get hit by lightening, or slip and hit your head in the shower.
> Pretty much every Internet service is going to have similar clauses to GitHub's; because anything else would basically be a "click here to make me liable for copyright infringement" button. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised that merely running something like GitHub but without a ToS would still give you similar levels of implied license over whatever people push to your server.

The specific part of their ToS I was talking about was the (paraphrasing) [we can use your code to improve our tools and services] part.
Technically correct as rock salt was formed by the evaporation of ancient seas.
They don't actually describe what kind of content this is nor whether there's false positive in those reports to my knowledge. I wonder how many parents posting "babies first bath" type photos get accidentally labeled.

Then there's the question whether they're labeling adult anime photos as child abuse imagery which could also greatly inflate the numbers.

20 million sounds like a ridiculously unrealistic high number. There just isn't that much of that type of content out there. A reasonable number would be in the 10s of thousands I would think.
Your first point was my first thought as well -- who is this guy, and why should I trust that he's an expert on this?

All testing of procedures for the switch and associated reviews have been completed, and NASA management has given approval to proceed. The switch will begin Thursday, July 15, and, if successful, it will take several days to completely return the observatory to normal science operations.

Even if you have really good health insurance, you often pay out of pocket.

This is horribly incorrect. People die for lack of insulin in the US all the time, and it's not because they just didn't bother to ask for their free insulin.

HIPAA Compliance, Hitech and Cybersecurity
Hard agree here. I've had two run ins with the police (in the UK - I made a mistake driving and was pulled over, and the other was just wrong place wrong time) and in both cases just being civil removed me from the situation in less than 15 minutes. If I had started parroting the "I refuse to speak to the police" line in either scenario it would have been a whole whole lot worse.
Agreed, and moreover is there even any evidence that it is effective? Or rather, effective at uncovering the truth as opposed to effective at eliciting a [potentially untruthful] confession?
The first atomic bomb was nowhere near as precisely-built as the James Webb telescope has to be.
> GDPR applies whenever you're providing services to EU citizens

That's a common misconception. GDPR applies to the data of people "in the Union". There is no mention of citizens at all in GDPR.

If someone is not an EU citizen but is in the Union, it applies.

If someone is an EU citizen but is not in the Union, it does not apply.
And it's working out great! Our infrastructure is falling apart, we can't get together and build infrastructure for public transportation, our healthcare system is abysmal, many policies make it quite expensive to be poor, etc. While our politicians cater to rich interests and strut about and soapbox about emotional issues, and focus on getting re-elected instead of what citizens care about.

But I can criticize the state and federal government without going to jail, so there's that. Life is really great, so long as you find good paying jobs (sorry teachers, firefighters, EMTs...), avoid crushing debt from medical crises or frivolous lawsuits if you happen to interact with a power-tripping cop.
And that’s how authoritarian police states are build. One “but it’s effective” and “they’re just criminals” at a time. By the time “good citizens” discover that it’s being used against them too, it’s far too late.
It's not the first space-based observatory, but it's still a _wholly novel_ device, containing instrumentation designed by scientists and engineers in concert to leverage every piece of bleeding edge technology available at the time, and some throughout the process. Everyone of the flagship observatories is moon shot. It's not a mass-produced helicopter or missile. This project in particular is easily one of the wildest feats of science and engineering _ever_ just like Hubble, Cern, and LIGO.

Regarding the bomb, we were trying to end a global conflict, so the comparison couldn't be further off base.
starship wouldn't really fit the mission profile of sending 2-3 astronauts to hubble orbit for EVA. The same starship could instead deliver a fleet of replica hubbles to lagrange points autonomously.
