> I'm suggesting a ban on religion in the political space.

Religions are just old ideologies centered on an anthropomorphic metaphor. It's not possible to exist without ideology -- even if it's something neoliberal and pared-down.

And, people will create institutions to provide them with additional structure, if the State isn't giving it to them. They'll organize around a priest, or a VP of DEI; they'll choose a holy book (Atlas Shrugged, the Koran, Das Kapital), and so on. And, lo and behold, those alternative structures will start coercing people too.

> prohibits sexual freedom

The older I get, the more I think "freedom" is a trap. What is the alcoholic's freedom to drink? The procrastinator's freedom to watch YouTube videos?

Odysseus, before sailing past the Sirens, was wise enough to ask his sailors to tie him to the mast.

I know you say you're self-motivated, but how many of you would really accomplish much without at least a little pressure from a boss, from perf review, or from your peers at least? "But I'm the CEO!", you say. Well, do you ever work harder as you prep for a board meeting?

I will do a dangerous thing now and, although essentially secular, make an Old Testament reference: What of Onan's freedom from responsibility for Tamar (i.e., his choice to leave her abandoned after Er's death), freedom from responsibility for the children he would have had with her? (People have myopically and stupidly focused on the "mechanics" of that story while missing the point.)

What if the consequences of your "freedom" don't hit you for many years? What if, as an individual, you simply don't have enough time in your life to make the mistake and learn from it?

I know a few people who were "free" to completely fuck up their lives, and they're belatedly figuring it out now, usually when it's too late.
> The ancient city, reported to be the largest ever found in Egypt, dates back to the era of king Amenhotep III, who ruled the ancient kingdom from 1391 to 1353 BC

To give some idea of how old Egypt is, Amenhotep III was the 9th king of the 18th Dynasty. By the time he ruled, the Great Pyramid of Giza was over 1000 years old.

Also what is interesting is that some of our greatest finds are because of the Egyptian ruling class trying to erase the "apostasy" of Akhenaten from their memory. Thus Luxor and king Tut were heavily censored which probably led to their being passed over by grave robbers, which meant when they were finally discovered, we had a more intact find. I find it ironic that the pharaohs and cities that the ancient Egyptians tried to censor, may end up being the most well known as we go forward.
Tangential : most municipalities in NL have outlawed 'chalking' on public road / sidewalks etc.

it wouldn't. it's clear sweeney is just trying to garner attention and sympathy with claims like this (and very specifically, the terms he used).
This may not be the answer you are looking for, but I would just use an existing product rather than try to create a new one.

For the use case you describe, I would just use an online word processor like Google Docs with a new document for each week. It would probably also work with Office 365 or iCloud Pages depending on which platforms you prefer.

Google Docs, Office 365, and iCloud Pages all have multiple clients for a variety of platforms (laptop, desktop, iPad, etc.) and supports exporting documents to web pages and a variety of other formats.

Are you wanting to write your own as an exercise? Or perhaps there is something that prohibits using one of the online word processors?

They squandered so much opportunity in Season 3 it is mind boggling. It's like they hired a competent writer about half way through and then threw away all of their work and completely rewrote the last episode.

The Burn was a really good idea. It fundamentally changed the rules of space travel in the Trek world and provided a great mystery and possible existential threat that could lurk in the background for several seasons. It also gave future!starfleet a reason to take the main cast with their 1k-years-out-of-date ship seriously (even though I think the spore drive is kinda stupid in general). Instead it was all the power of some child's grief and we fixed it already.

Osyraa could have been the next Dukat. She was introduced as a 1 dimensional villain, but her plan to unite the Emerald Chain and federation showed us that there was more to her. Maybe she was only as cruel as she was because that's what it took for her to attain enough power to make meaningful change for the betterment of the galaxy? If Admiral wossname had accepted the plan it would have been interesting to see federation idealists struggle with having to compromise those ideals if they want to achieve their goals, and to have to work with someone they think of as a monster to do it. There could have been several In The Pale Moonlight moments, and maybe not all of them end with "I can live with it". Instead we kill off Osyraa (death by Burnham even) and hit the fucking reset button on the Emerald Chain.

Burnham could have been Han Solo. She was never Starfleet material: she can't follow orders, has no discipline, and displays no leadership abilities whatsoever. She can't motivate people, she doesn't inspire confidence, and she does her best work alone. She even had her own Millennium Falcon and Chewbacca, plus Grudge. Tilly is clearly the better leader: she projects confidence even when terrified, she keeps her cool under pressure, she inspires loyalty, she can motivate people, and her crew knows she cares about them. Yeah, she's an Ensign so it's a little wild she ended up in the chair at all, but you know what? Those people have been through some shit and when it comes right down to it, chain of command or no, people are going to follow the person who can lead them and Tilly can do that. Burnham can't do that, she spent 2 seasons and change proving it. So what do we get? Burnham in the captain's chair and Tilly edited into a Science uniform. What the fuck?

...I could go on, probably for several hours, but I'll just say one more thing:

The hack writers working on this show are actually a great fit for the Mirror Universe stuff. Their brand of ridiculous just works in that place. They should hire replacements who can actually write to do Discovery and have this group do a Mirror Universe series.
Certificates having short lifetimes doesn't have to mean that verification has to happen at the same frequency. And frequent verification doesn't have to mean that dns records need to be updated each time - for example you could have a dns record saying that HTTP-based authentication for the main domain covers all subdomains.

Amazon will have a hard time beating Wal-Mart and leading supermarkets such as Wegmans. I would contrast the cattle gates in the checkout at the Union Square Whole Foods to the world class self-check you'll find in a Wal-Mart in one of the flyover states.

Two likely outcomes are:

(1) The "demo store" which has hardly any product per square foot that looks like a "pop up store" to promote a brand that has no potential of moving the needle in terms of selling anything

(2) Amazon becoming just as tone deaf as Best Buy (LED light strips but no switches to control them; $60 HDMI cables, $40 USB-C cables, ...) Staples (they've got a display model of a filing cabinet but if you want one you'll have to get it delivered; they have 20 kinds of glossy photo paper for your inkjet printer but not one kind of matte paper) or Ulta Beauty (can't walk out of that store with a nose hair trimmer!)
The doctor did not say that he's scared of catching COVID, but that he "cannot continue to watch [his] patients suffer and die from an eminently preventable disease".

Maybe he also shouldn't treat extreme sports athletes. Sounds like an eminently preventable thing.
The lesson, I guess, is that if you print money from some other dominant business unit, you don't have to have any other good ideas or execution.
The other way of looking at it is that the degree used to be an accurate proxy for what actually mattered, like intelligence and field interest, but now with a billion people pursuing it because the money looks good, it’s not going to be an accurate proxy anymore.
I used Windows 95, I used xNix from SCO Xenix to AIX to Solaris to Linux to macOS. I don't really get the nostalgia for it, though. I mean, modern versions of these OSes are still around.

But there has been AtheOS and Syllable, SkyOS, HelenOS, Redox OS, Genode, now Fuschia. All Unixy, all with Unixy shells, all to me broadly similar in concept.

I wonder why people don't attempt to clone or revive other 1990s OSes. For instance, where is the 3rd party clone of classic MacOS? Or of Psion EPOC16 or EPOC32 or Symbian? Those had tens of millions of users, but there's not even a current-ish Classic-MacOS-finder-inspired Linux desktop. I think I remember one called Sparta, but there seems to be no trace of it now.

Yeah, I'd argue he was overdoing humor in The Orville on purpose - I think he wanted the show to be classified as a parody of Trek-style shows, and not a Trek derivative, in order to avoid intellectual property issues. You can see that as the show established itself, the jokes were toned down a lot - season 2 of The Orville is much more serious than the first one (I'd describe it as TNG, but with the drama/humor proportion of StarGate SG-1), and manages to cover some deep political and ethical topics.

Spoiler of the topic that impressed me (rot13, spoils a topic from S2):

Common ownership of code doesn't work though. People becomes experts in things they work on a lot, and will refactor better for it because they have long term plans they are working towards. Someone outside making updates will make a mess of the long term plans not understanding where it needs to go.

The equivalent would be for each existing organisation (or individual) to have a box listed to check in the tax form (that is the privilege). That would be a long form, though.
This is interesting because it's something that would likely only happen in production or a staging server.

If you're building your web app in development, chances are your links will have localhost as their hostname which wouldn't trigger a visit from Google. You may also end up having an in memory fake email server to not even send the email in dev too (lots of web frameworks have solutions for this).

Checking the user-agent might work but I'm not a fan of this method because now it sets you up with having to keep a list of all known agents for every email client / service that might pre-visit URLs.

>When successive generations complain about "kids these days", there is a contradiction.

Not really. It's totally logically consistent if things are going downhill with each successive generation. (In fact, it would still be consistent if different things were going downhill, Gen 2 worse on X compared to Gen 1, and Gen 3 worse on Y compared to Gen 2, and so on). Whether that's the case it's another matter.

>It's possible that there is a constant decrease in standards, such that every generation is worse than the one before it.

Exactly.

>But I doubt it.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Note also that since there are no permanent eternal standards standing outside of history, each generation only has to be worse by the standards of its previous generation, for the accusation to be true...

I think you'll do pretty well with a Javascript-based solution IF it communicates to a back end that is located on your own domain. That is, something basically like Google Analytics but self-hosted.
> They're on the high side, but they are still not as hard as most SV startups.

Google isn't an SV startup. It's the fourth largest company in the world (and one of the three bigger is Saudi Arabia's oil field). It should therefore be judged against other behemoths. And to support products for a reasonable amount of time.

I can still get parts for a 45 year old Toyota directly from the company.
Not sure about this particular city, but for cities in general I think it's usually because they're just absolutely destroyed. I was just listening to Dan Carlin's King of Kings podcast and in there is the poignant story of a greek general traveling through what is modern Syria I believe. While traveling through the desert the general comes across an abandoned city unlike he's ever seen, and unrivalled by any city of his time. Its 11 miles of walls were 10 meters thick and 30 meters high. There was no one around to inform him of what the city was named.

Now it is believed that the city was the capital of some (Assyrian?) kingdom, that just 200 years earlier was basically the capital of the civilised world and had stood for hundreds of years. It was destroyed by a particularly cruel horde, and everyone in it was slaughtered, the fields around it salted, the goods and artefacts taken.

It was so thoroughly destroyed that 200 years later a well read and knowledgable general couldn't even place it or find anyone to tell him about it. The only thing that remains were the basically indestructible stone walls.

I don't really have the mind for remembering history details, so I'm probably way off on some details, but I thought it was a cool story about how we've come to find these ancient ruins just all abandoned without even locals knowing what they are. Dan Carlin makes it really come alive, highly recommend listening to his stories.
Having control over the HTTP response for the root domain but not being authorized to have SSL certificates over subdomains is already a veriry dubious concern, but if you are that worried you could define a fixed DNS record saying that for this particular domain ownership verification of the main domain translates to all subdomains.
It bears mentioning that one of the authors is Frank Wilczek, who named the axion and anyon, won a nobel in 2004 for work in the strong force, and proposed the idea of time crystals. Not a lightweight.

> Alright. Most consumer routers do both NAT and firewalling, especially in their stock configurations, but I can drag one out and disable the firewall on it to test with.

Nope firewall on. You're still missing the point. Consumers will disable their client firewall once it interferes with something they're trying to do. A physical NAT device with a firewall won't allow this easy circumvention as those who don't know what they're doing won't generally go mucking around their router settings. They will click a button though, and if they have malware on their machine they can disable it via software means. Firewalls are also software, and just like all software they have bugs. There's an old one where sending certain DNS queries through windows firewall would disable it entirely.

> v6 doesn't necessarily push the firewall to clients. You can and generally do still firewall on your router.

Again you're not thinking of the entirety of the changes here. v6 on its own won't, but the entire point of global link addresses is to avoid NAT and other things. Further, the firewall must remain, but it must be easily and programmatically configured. This leaves pushing it to the client, or leaving exactly what we have today.

> I know you can cut the search space down somewhat, but it's still massively bigger than v4, and therefore it's still going to be harder to find servers via scanning in v6 than in v4. NAT won't help in the slightest with this.

NAT won't, but a firewall will.

> the large address space reduces exposure simply by making it harder to find any listening servers.

Reduces exposure, but does not eliminate it. Agreed though, it is harder to scan ip6 space than ip4, but not impossible

FaceTime is amazing. I keep in touch with my entire family using FaceTime video, often across thousands of kilometers.

It's also such an equalizer, allowing even the non-computer literate to use it and focus on the actual conversations.

This year has seen both a high melt [1] as well as a high accumulation [2] of snow, the balance of which currently lies clearly at the positive end - Greenland has far more accumulated snow than average. These images come from the Danish polar portal [3] which I assume to be a canonical source given that Greenland is a Danish province.

The explanation with the images reads as follows:

The map illustrates what the ice sheet’s total surface gains and losses have been over the year since 1 September compared to the period 1981-2010. It does not include the mass that is lost when glaciers calve off icebergs and melt as they come into contact with warm seawater.

The animation shows one frame every seven days going back to the previous 1 September.

The blue curve shows the current season, whilst the red curve shows the corresponding development for the 2011-12 season, when the degree of melting was record high.

The dark grey curve traces the mean value from the period 1981-2010.

The light grey band shows differences from year to year. For any calendar day, the band shows the range over the 30 years (in the period 1981-2010), however with the lowest and highest values for each day omitted.

If you get a 1 year certificate then yeah, but otherwise no. The requirement to re-validate the DNS record comes not from the CA or the use of ACME, but the Baseline Requirements[1] §4.2.1, to prove you are still in control of the domain on a somewhat regular basis to obtain new certificates. Every 3 months is more frequent than is required, but there is still a regular (398 day) DCV requirement.
