British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, v47 n2 p200-209 2019

Genuine happiness is impossible without authentic concern for and corresponding behaviour towards the well-being of others. Such an incorporation of others into the self refers to a "democratic self" and the related regard for the common good. The author argues that the honesty of professionals who work in or for an educational or vocational setting is vital for the good of the individual and the common good. By introducing "democratic selves", recent advancements in Dialogical Self Theory (DST) point to an inclusion of the common good. However, given the importance of virtues for one's own and the common good, the theory and its applications are in need of integrating virtues *and in particular honesty.*

Also, drop the "privilege" stuff, this is not twitter.

< And if China ever makes a move on Taiwan, I think a lot of people will appreciate the "insanity" of those capabilities

How many carrier fleets do you need to protect a small colony? And of course, this is assuming the US would actually go to war with China over Taiwan, which is highly doubtful.

> just as they've appreciated our policing the world's oceans for the last 70 years.

That is highly debatable. Most of the world does not appreciate US imperialism.
We have tested it using real BTC, so far so good! LND is definitely still in beta, and the Lightning Network itself is still in its infancy, so it's a good idea not to have too much funds in an LND wallet.

We're try to be very careful when developing Agora, and all features are covered by unit and integration tests. However, bugs are always a possibility.
Marijuana use was first banned in the 13th century with the death penalty, so yeah, it's an old problem.
Great photos, thanks for sharing.

No but that's the point: you do have to physically go to the DMV, or the bank, quite frequently. And for most people, the important point to point communications are interactions you want validated against those entities.

So,if we want to use Wallet of Satoshi as a preferred lightning wallet for our Agora instance, we should connect our Agora instance to Wallet of Satoshi's LND gRPC server.

I think the website is missing important information (or it's buried somewhere):

- quick facts about Pitcairn [0] (e.g. 47 people, 47 sq.km of surface, British Overseas Territory)

- what kind of visa you will grant (permanent resident?)

- is there a path to citizenship / passport, and if so, how long it would take?

- is there any special agreement with the UK? e.g. UK passport after 5 years of residence.

- income tax? capital gains tax?

- how easy is it to setup a business in Pitcairn?

In any case, I plaud the effort to try to repopulate this island.

There's something about human communities where under a certain size (200? 1000?), many things become really difficult, such as having key expertise "in house" (doctor, mechanician, electrician, plumber, etc), as well as being able to maintain a good "vibe" in the community.

My guess is that 47 people on a 47 sq. km island are a bit on the low end. Hopefully they will manage to attract more people over the years.

They might want to consider asking a government (UK? New Zealand?) to help them with some budget and an immigration program that could easily attract at least tens of people.

If you connected an Agora instance to an LND instance, you would have to trust the person who ran that instance, since they would be in control of funds from payments, so I think the best idea is to run your own LND instance.

There’s no way for public to make vaccination decisions on their own. They just don’t have the knowledge and the skills to interpret the data. I mean, it’d be silly if we said: “Hey, you’ve got colon cancer? You could do chemo or surgery. Your pick!”. And unlike cancer, pandemic has impact not only on your health, but on others too.
Well, I’m not sure what “have to” means. If I got a Washington Post article published about how suchandsuch person made a HN comment I don’t like, I would call that a clear case of harassment, no matter how much proof I had that the comment was wrong.
You can as an individual. And people do that, it's sometimes refered to as alcotourism, when you cross the border to buy cheaper alcohol in the neighbouring country. Finns go to Estonia. Estonians go to Latvia.
But as a company, you can't just import cigarettes or alcohol from another country and sell them at home. Cigarettes and alcohol have specific tax stamps on their packaging that make them restricted for sale in a specific country. People still do that, but at that point it's the black market.

The author claims that making better use of the cache hierarchy and programming in a data oriented way will improve perceived performance for users. This isn't where we should start though.

Much of the time bad performance comes from excessive I/O, bad algorithms and data structures (e. g. accidentally quadratic code), or misuse of third party libraries or services. Eliminating problems like this needs to come first and only then is it reasonable to consider the cache-friendlyness of our code.

電車 always trips me up when talking about trains in Japanese. It appears to me that for some Japanese every train (including Diesel powered ones) is 電車 at this point, while others do make the distinction. The Japanese Wikipedia page mentions this shift as well.

That's the CSAM part. The iMessages part uses a neural network to detect explicit photos through machine learning.

What happens when Apple, or the government, mandate an expansion of CSAM into detecting new material? Apple already has built a neural network to detect new explicit material...

Also, what happens when the USG mandates that Top Secret classified material must also be added to the database? Or when Russia mandates that homosexual pornography must be added to the database?

> IP ranges have owners and if an address is consistently used for abuse (attacks, spam email, ...)

IP ranges have registrants. Servers usually are assigned IP addresses temporarily by the registrant, or by someone the registrant has assigned the block of addresses to by some other means. This means differs from region to region. In the US the responsible party is ARIN, and registrants can reassign addresses using a database called SWIP. In the EU both registrants and their partners use the same database called RIPE. I have never registered addresses in other regions.

> then people do report this to the owner of that address?

Yes. Registrant again, but yes. And if you don't get satisfaction, then you can (and should) escalate all the way to the region's authority.
1. Why does FedEx exist? If what you are doing is legal, shouldn't you use USPS?

2. There are plenty of things that are federally illegal but many consider to be morally legal. Examples include, for example, weed dispensaries operating in states that have legislated cannabis.

3. What happens if a future government makes funding of ETE encrypted software, without CSAM scanning, illegal?
Ahh, not quite. I thought you were asking about a wallet for making payments, i.e. for buying content from Agora.

In order to process payments for your Agora instance, you would need to connect it to an LND instance that you ran yourself.

I was just there for a couple of weeks visiting my partner’s family in Comox.

Her mother was telling us a bit about the work in the estuary while we were there—just a bit of the background that the article covers. At low tide you could see the piles throughout, but I didn’t spend any time there—just driven past many times so my only view of the traps was from the road and the bridge over the river.

When the tides not too low you can take canoes or kayaks up the estuary. We’d discussed it but got swept up in other things.

I can only imagine what a sight it must have been without the modern development and the wide harbour full of active fisheries. It must have been bustling at times.
Maybe, but the article was asking the question of what someone not doing DPI can glean.
This person does not seem to have any problems.

This seems to be 'mysterious' because of the writing skill of the author.

While 'mysterious' is hard to quantify objectively, the thing is: it is not known for sure what it is yet widely available, sounds mysterious enough, right? Or is your point that it actualy is known, but the author doesn't happen to know?

it could have been easily found out by offering 10X-50X

The core of the argument is in the response to the incident:

> To calm things down, official NASA spokesmen provided very preliminary underestimates in how big and how fast the station's spin had been. These were presented without any caveat that the numbers were unverified—and the real figures turned out to be much worse. The Russian side, for its part, dismissed the attitude deviation as a routine bump in a normal process of automatic docking and proclaimed there would be no formal incident investigation, especially any that would involve their American partners. Indeed, both sides seemed to agree that the sooner the incident was forgotten, the better.

The author, who worked in Mission Control operations in the 1980s, argues that similar signs of degrading safety standards and minimizing mistakes led up to the Challenger tragedy.
There's several reason why even with highly effective vaccines, we might see worse infections when we do see them among the vaccinated. For example, if the vaccines work well, then there should be a bias where we see the most breakthrough infections among those for whom the vaccine doesn't do anything, i.e. people with compromised immune systems. So the people with normal immune systems will make up a much larger percentage of infections among the unvaccinated group, allowing them to drag down the average severity of infections - in the vaccinated group, they've been "removed" since most of them won't get infected, or have mild enough infections that they don't even notice, leaving the immunocompromised as a larger part of the infections that get counted in the statistics, and these infections are thus on average more severe.
Typically most people would not use a vpn where both ends are in the same authortarian country.

Which there may still be other side channels, and other things, but the naive version of that attack sounds a little unlikely.
Yes, that turns down to be the question of how to get a trustworthy VPN provider. Even if you run your own on a cloud then same question with VPS provider.

There us no definite answer to that. Even TOR nodes are heavily under surveillance.

I didn’t read the whole article (probably not aimed at me) but I just want to say that you should never, ever, ever use “timestamp without time zone” in PG because it is actually “clock face time” rather than “moment in time” and therefore the moment you try to do anything at all clever with time, you will start to question your own sanity. Well I did anyway.

There is not enough room here to explain fully but “Timestamp *with* time zone” effectively means UTC time which is the closest equivalent in PG to Unix epoch time and almost certainly what most people want. It doesn’t actually store a time zone.

You’ll thank me later :)
I made an open-source service [1] that does the same thing earlier this year. Although it's pitched for OpenGraph images (where I share OP's pain when dealing with blog post assets), it works for any kind of image, by proxying the Figma API that renders a frame to an image and returns an S3 public URL.

UK actually went from "Challenge 21" to "Challenge 25" a few years after the former was introduced, so most places have a policy of asking for ID if you look under 25 now - a 7 year margin.

Though the extent to which staff really do challenge anyone who looks under 25 obviously varies considerably, even in businesses where Challenge 25 is the official policy (which afaik is a recommendation that most chains, including pubs and supermarkets, and many small businesses follow, but not a legal requirement).

I am working in HPC, and I beg to differ. Yes, compilers should do optimisation whereever possible, but that is only a small percentage of the story. If the programmer doesnt know which algorithms to choose, the compiler is unable to fix that. If the programmer does not understand the underlying architecture at least a bit, the compiler is also likely going to fail fixing that.

Take one of the most basic programming examples, fib. Depending on how your programming language might be implemented, the recursive definition is likely slower then necessary. So at the end of the lesson, you're being taught to make a loop out of the recursion, so save stack space and such. But usually, the lesson ends here. But this is sooooo far away from the best solution. Think 2x2 matrix and the power of n. No compiler will ever transform your naiv recursive fib to that. So no, the compiler is not the ultimate answer. If you dont manage to educate more programmers, we will continue to run slow software.
> only able to decrypt if there's a hash match

This is one of the concerns in the OP, have an AI generate millions of variations of a certain kind of images and check the hashes. In this case it boils down to how common false positives neural hashes are.

Fair points. You're right; the web is at least in part what our community decides to make it. So it's not inevitable that we have to drag others kicking and screaming into the current web that we didn't really design for them in the first place.

Speaking of adaptation layers, my own expertise is in accessibility for blind people. There's some debate in the online blind community about the merits of devices and user interfaces designed specifically for blind people, versus retrofitting a screen reader onto a mainstream GUI. Given the prevalence of proprietary walled gardens, the staggering complexity of even the open web, and the need for blind people to participate in mainstream society, it's inevitable that we have to rely on the latter to some extent. But that doesn't mean that blind people have to live with only the level of accessibility and usability that mainstream platform companies choose to provide, ad least as long as one mainstream platform is open enough to allow for third-party adaptations.

So maybe there's also a need for alternative UIs for people who, for whatever reason, aren't familiar with the conventions of the mainstream Internet, such as email inboxes. It would be important, though, to make sure such attempts at alternative UIs don't come off as condescending (like, say, Microsoft Bob).
Will it make you happy if they fail?
Yes. That is why I don't.
Almost all laptop makers' websites are absolutely horrible. The worst I've seen is Dell's, where for some reason every ~10 seconds a distracting popup jumps into the screen. And the device comparison feature is useless, it just shows the same summary as usual but side by side. I had to look for minutes to see that a price difference between two models came from the 13" and 15" size difference...which was a single digit difference in a ~10-item list without any highlighting.

It's weird how manufacturers are imitating Apple at every step unless it's an improvement in UX.

The argument for tor is try and distribute the nodes between countries that hate each other: if russia is doing half the survelience and usa the other half, they'll be unlikely to coorporate just to catch you.

There is a website with user guides and links to a video channel on YouTube. You can download a free version of the app for Windows. Furthermore, there is a paid app available with a few more features.
