That's far more complicated than you'd suspect, at least in the US. There are a litany of policies that criminalize self-sustainment. Granted I suppose one could consume pests without being harangued for poaching, but that doesn't mitigate property laws, and all property is owned if not privately then publicly and in either case most often requires license to be there, whether explicit or implicit. Certainly doing any reasonable amount of cultivation is seriously complicated by this. So you're legally barred from hunting, barred from cultivation, and you're left with scavenging or gathering and that's highly dependent on a number of factors. Granted the probability of being found out in the depths of the wild are minute, it is nonetheless a serious existential threat. Let's just say we're at the mercy of our captors.

Having addressed the question of legality of rogue individuals... And if an individual exploiting the wild is illegal, so is the group. Humans are social animals. Going it alone at length in the arboreal breast of mother nature would be extraordinarily taxing mentally for most people. That alone is a crucial disincentive, and with the legal disincentive it atomizes people and forces even the highest aspirants to dissolution of the ideal. And that's before the process is even allowed to occur. The impacts of each added person to a group of rogues would compound, and I'd posit exponentially. And with that impact the footprint naturally grows, and with the footprint the risk of detection. At the end of the day the risk assessment points to certain failure.

So the next best thing is urbanized scavenging, not because it's the idyllic means, but because it's the only certainty. If you offered these people license to fuck off, I suspect they would do just that, perhaps not all, but most. I know if I was given license, alongside my friends, to get out of dodge we might just take up that offer. But the whole concept of real liberty, real autonomy, real independence - that's an existential threat to the status quo, to the system, and to the policy makers and corporations that own them, and to the very few of those who pull the strings.
Ah, very good, thanks! So yeah, half of the chronically homeless. That's extremely bad news. But let's remember that doing drugs to forget your life has been a mess for a long time is not a lifestyle choice decision.

There's no study on this so we can't be sure how many will say yes, but given a "Finnish opportunity" of free housing if you agree on medical treatment/rehabilitation for the drug problem, free debt debt counseling, and a state-supported employment, I suspect not many would say no to what's essentially a fresh start.

Usually those "rich people's" thoughts are interesting not because they're worth millions or billions, but because they've built something impressive over their lifetime and probably have gained valuable insight as a result.

But what difference does it make? It seems to me the cross sectional area in the photo is larger if the wings are more spread out as in the case with dead butterflies so you end up seeing more of the beautiful wing patterns. What's the point of hiding a portion of that? After all we kill flowers all the time so that our dining tables look slightly more beautiful. There is something morbid about dead butterflies looking better than alive ones, but I don't think you should put all that on "artists" as much as it being a rather unfortunate artifact of the way nature designed it.

A few years ago I bought some shampoo from Amazon that was very clearly counterfeit. The product and packaging was so bad that if anyone was paying attention to the supply line they should have been able to figure it out.

Maybe one could see it as a form of civil disobedience ... surely it counts that the person lets another person take the job he might have taken and ultimately uses less resources than the average worker (commute, buying power, paper trails etc) ... also one might argue those opting out help push up wages... I personally am in favor of working as little as possible, outlawing"big corporations" encouraging artisans and entrepreneurs and veggie farmers...

It's not just the drugs that are the problem, at least for obesity and diabetes. Many of our health issues could be prevented improved with exercise, diet, and other moderation.

Hey, thanks!

My app is called Circles, and it will be launching on the App Store next month.

It’s built on Matrix to take advantage of their support for E2E encryption, so #4 about federation won’t be too difficult. At least not technically. And I’ll happily federate with anyone who agrees not to do ads or tracking.

The company is currently a Delaware LLC but will be converting to a public benefit corporation as soon as we get the thing off the ground.

Absolutely. There's nothing new or surprising about these reports… or about extensive attempts to flag and obscure the reports. If Putin has a bot army on HN, they're on high alert. This is just the territory these days. This is the internet as it exists and intersects real world politics.
And when third parties can connect, the protocol can't evolve because every change becomes "good to simplement" but it takes an enormous amount of time, resources And influence to change to "mandatory to implement". As always it's a delicate balance between security And ease of use, and Signal has always been up front in favoring the former.
The article you sent literally confirms what I said. It lists multiple reasons, more dangerous jobs being only one. The rest are mix of lifestyle and genetics.

As for smoking and alcohol, those statistics are easy to find too. Both contemporary and past ones.

Also, article starts with premise that author expects to live shorter then his wife - but he has extraordinary safe job.
And they say that I don't value privacy since I use Telegram and not Signal... in reality Telegram may not be end to end encrypted like Signal, but I never recall doing a think like that. It means poor attention to the security of the application, and poor testing.

I am not much interested in cycling, but I understand this is the dimension that is not present on Olympics. Or do they also ride as teams and assign from the start who is going to get "protected" to preserve their strength to get the best shot at getting gold?

I hate the new ability to add emoji responses to message chat bubbles. It has turned my conversations (especially group ones) into a Facebook like experience where everyone expects a cry face emoji or heart on everything they say. It gives me that same feeling of dread I used to get when I had a Facebook. I just want to send and receive text messages, not be engaged constantly to my phone.
The title is in fact correct, 5 years sentence for some guy who bought "CPU board& servo stuff and other railway parts. The court's decision is ridiculous.

This is the response from Momeni, that insist that he was mostly focused on buying and selling regular stuff from eBay and Amazon, that had no dual-use, and he is not under US jurisdiction:
https://www.eghtesadonline.com/fa/tiny/news-498359

US government can not forbid one from re-exporting goods from another country, citing internal regulations that are based on lies, damned lies! No, procuring railway parts is not a threat for any country's national security. At most, they can stop selling spare parts to one they don't want, although this poses danger to people's life in another country, if you care.

Looking at the document, we see interesting stuff. The evidence -if true- comes from unlawfully intercepting emails from several people that are not American, nor live in the US. Probably by hacking or other illegal means. So, even the so-called evidence is disputed.

The person who brought this up was implying that people who FIRE today are paying their fair share.
Agile assumes people are intrinsically motivated to do good work. (This is called “theory Y” management.) It doesn’t work if people have to be extrinsically motivated (“theory X”).

If you have a bunch of people who are just doing the minimum they’re paid to do, with no passion and excitement for the work itself or their team, you either need a different method or different people.
That would be the case if they’d standardize the signal protocol. Letting third parties connect has nothing to do with that. Signal can still change their API any time they want.
Sure, but so long as the democracy is still technically functioning those laws can be changed with enough support. Most of the barriers in place, whether they should be there or not, are not insurmountable.

I guess I'm defining consent as "anything less than a desire for violent overthrow of the government" because that's the primary problem democracies solve. Things can still get bad to the point where in any other system a violent rebellion would take place, it's just that in a functioning democracy there's a bloodless rebellion at the ballot box instead of a civil war.

This is really disappointing to see.

I have fond memories of starting to work for them back in 2013, which for a lot of folks I've talked to was peak Rackspace. The "Castle," a mall they bought in San Antonio and converted to office space, was thriving with folks working on cloud computing, frequent tech talks, and just a great office culture. As late as the mid-2010s, they were innovating with novel products like OnMetal, on-demand full hosts with the elasticity of the cloud, that AWS didn't really have an answer for yet. They also gave me the opportunity to work on open source full time, which was a rare and fulfilling experience early in my career.

I really thought the Castle would be a tech hub for south central Texas. I do feel lucky to have worked there when I did and still work with and keep in touch with a lot of Rackers. I wish those still there the best and hope they can turn things around at some point.
Hey, thanks, good point. Indeed there are quantum-resistant ledgers, those would survive the quantum computing apocalypses :)

Regarding the regulation, I should have definitely mentioned it.. Some countries (like the UK) get really tough on cryptos.
I think it comes down to 'I work to have what I have, why others should have things for free'. Even though the things you get for working are good and you have a great life, and the free things are shit but let you at least survive just barely, it's still too much. 'If I work to have a great life, those that don't are not eligible for anything, not even the smallest things' and then you can complain about homelessness in your area because it's more important to be able to complain than to solve the issue and get rid of the issue to complain about
I have been using syncthing for at least 3 years now. Sync’ing a 7gb directory across 6 devices. I rarely get conflicts, when it happens i just click on the conflicts link via the browser and check which files are conflicting and try to resolve it. Sometimes i have to call a REST action to reset the local db:

curl -X POST -H "X-API-Key: xxx" "http://localhost:8384/rest/system/reset?folder=YYYY"

This is my last resort cause sometimes syncthing gets confused.

Also good to note my setup has 1 introducer which is my NAS (synology) that is 24/7 online which always has the latest changes. Other devices are mostly mobile or turned on at irregular times. For devices without syncthing support like iOS, i rely on exposing the directory on the NAS via webdav. This way i can still access my data on the go.

And my synology creates regular backups/snapshots of my synced directory. So that i can always recover files. Even outside of syncthing.
Somehow the pandemic shut them down; I would have expected the opposite, that it would focus them on getting something working.

It sounds to me like The Mill is an effort being driven by people who are unwilling to get their hands dirty in anything they don't personally know and enjoy doing, which is never a good sign for a startup, IMHO. OTOH if they can convince the money to spend big on an organization prior to having a product, well, good for them! On general principal I'm in favor of transferring wealth from financiers to tech people.
I don’t think you can ignore stuff like marketing at 50 person scale. But I assume you can wiggle some of the team sizes, especially if you outsource some roles that aren’t your core business.
I'm rooting for Delta Chat [1] which puts a nice chat UI on top of email. It is such a brilliant and simple solution. It is decentralized unlike Signal which recently had big reliability problems when new users flooded in.

[1] https://delta.chat
Yes. Signal's only selling point is privacy. Both of these bugs are huge privacy breaches that kill its value proposition.

Which type of privacy breach is more likely to have tangible and direct negative effects on an average user's life - a nation state storing their communications in a database, Facebook graphing their contacts and using them for friend recommendations, or their friends/family/boss/acquaintances being sent random private photos from their phone and audio of private conversations they have in their home, without them knowing?

One of the main worries with companies having access to your unencrypted private data is that no matter how careful they are with it, it can still end up in the wrong hands. Signal is directly sending your data into the wrong hands.
Maybe there's an even better way to phrase it... Other types of coercion are also part of reality.

Use https://live.sysinternals.com to quickly grab one of these tools with no fuss

Process Monitor (ProcMon) is one of the best diagnostic tools on the planet. I’ve used it to find why my machine booted slowly (encrypted font?!), what sort of network activity is holding up an app, why my USB device was sucking at wake-from-sleep, etc.

Process Explorer (ProcExp) is amazing at inspecting processes, eg to see their environment variables, see what process integrity levels look like, find out what process has what path open (eg since Windows won’t let you delete open files), etc. It’s a good complement to Task Manager.

TCPView is great for some weird cases. I used it once to find a bad web server as I could see my http requests were failing when the load balancer sent me to a specific IP. This impressed my web developer friends who weren’t used to seeing really accessible but low level diagnostic tools.

All the memory tools are great too.

Depends what you mean by "persistence". If you store it to a replicated database, then sure, it's just as resilient, but that is an external queue.

If you store it to a replicated filesystem, then sure, it's just as resilient, but almost nobody runs a setup like that (I have; I ran GlusterFS in production without downtime for a decade - it was a great piece of software, but for this kind of usage pattern it'd kill performance and just stuffing it in a database would be operationally easier and much faster).

But if you just store it to a local disk, then if the individual server fails your queue fails, that is why it would usually be less resilient than a properly set up external queue based on a replication storage mechanism. Note that you certainly can set up external queues that are just as, or even more, brittle. But at least the more serious queueing systems at least have options that will allow you to make the queue resilient.

Note that all of the above takes away the advantage of "just" having a single process deployment unless you already have that infrastructure set up. I'd much rather set up a database + replica than GlusterFS for example (GlusterFS is great, but it's a pain to manage compared to e.g. just Postgres or a Redis cluster to get resilience for Sidekiq)

> Ractor should bring similar capability to Ruby ecosystem.

Ractor is 100% orthogonal to that. I did what you describe first time in Ruby in 2005 with processes. It took a few dozen lines of code + sqlite (run one thread to stuff new jobs into sqlite; fork as many times as you need workers, and use a pipe to tell them which job to pick up, or serialize the whole job).

What Ractor brings is more fine-grained isolation (more sharing than a separate process, less than Thread), and running Ruby code on multiple CPU cores without resorting to fork(). That's all it's trying to do.

You could implement what I described above slightly cleaner with Ractor and wrap it up into a gem, but form vs. Ractor is unlikely to make a big difference for that kind of scenario, because the overheads of the sharing is dwarfed by the disk io. This may matter more for other Ruby implementations than MRI.
