Can't you get the same security benefit, but without the drawback of being totally unable to reach such sites, just by disabling network.IDN_show_punycode in about:config (or some equivalent if you're not using Firefox)?

This hijacking of the definition of human rights in the last 50 years is a catastrophy. A human right should only be a negative right, something that I cannot be forced to do. It is a human right that I can't be forced to do anything you want.

As soon as human rights become things that need work from someone else (healthcare, the internet), you are moving it into the realm of needing taxation and resource allocation by someone (government). You can't make healthcare or the internet a human right without taxing people to build it and provide it. Or in extreme cases, forcing people to work. But by doing that you are taking away the human rights of others to their own time and energy.

Human rights should only exist as long as they can't conflict with each other, otherwise they just become laws. But as soon as you create human rights to things that cost energy (money), you create a conflict between people's free choice to live their lives and providing that service to them for free.

How do you decide which human right to enforce when they conflict?
Possibly.

The amount of coverage this got in the financial press (particularly the FT) would seem to support this theory.

Additionally, it's interesting that the reversal happened after he named the banks in his FT interview yesterday.

If all you can make of it is toxicity, then perhaps you should start looking for the problem inwards.

He's a champion and did what needed to be done to elevate the team up to that standard, and keep it there. I'm sure he'd have bought them a "Snickers" if that worked better.

> As constructive as this is, perhaps you could elaborate on what the problem is that keeps millions of people in a situation where they earn _exactly_ as much as they need to survive, year in and year out?

This isn't the claim, and one reason it's difficult to have a conversation around this with you right now.

I'm not in Switzerland but I do like to figure skate. I'm also very well off nowadays. I was raised by divorced parents, spending some years in the middle-class world, and quite a few more in Greek poverty (ranging from mild to severe, and at one point back in France, inches from the street).

I managed to get to where I am today thanks to safety nets and various EU benefits (as well as some amazing blind luck). I'm under no illusion that I'm both greatly priviledged and extremely lucky. But I do have some relevant experience, yes.
You are a god.
Lol. Good luck selling that in the north, the mountains, farm country or anywhere else more than 10 miles from a starbucks. Sometimes lives depend on being able to move and there isnt time to reprogram robot to understand the risk dynamic. Malfunctioning sensors or broken highbeam circuits (tesla) are no excuse for a car to remain stuck in a snowbank.
The jq documentation is good, and thorough, but we see a lot of articles like these, and personally I think I would remember the particulars better (and maybe guess them without even referring to the reference manual) if the author wrote a narrative account of how they conceived of jq and how the language emerged from that conception. The tutorial is a great start, but something a little more fleshed out and introspective would help a lot, in my opinion.
Do you know how to enable this in Linux? I don't see a TTS option in reader mode on Firefox.

EDIT: I figured it out. I needed to install speech-dispatcher.

On Ubuntu

> sudo apt install speech-dispatcher
A useful feature of Firefox reader mode on Android is that if you bookmark a page from inside reader mode, Firefox saves it locally and you can go back to it from the bookmarks even when you are offline. I used it to read long web pages (usually fiction) on planes or in the middle of nowhere.

Edit: it works only on older Firefox versions. This feature was removed sometime in the last months.
Too bad it’s impossible to find RPi CM3 modules in stock for my Turing Pi V1 that has been sitting in its box for a couple months now! :(
I run a Reddit Post Automation tool called Delay for Reddit: https://www.delayforreddit.com

The tech stack is:

- Ruby on Rails

- Postgres

- Redis

- Hosted on Heroku

I choose this stack because it was the technologies I was most familiar. Also, I knew it could solve the problems the business faced.

I do not think Tech Stack is the most important component to my success. Its important to choose a Stack which can solve the business's problems first and second having familiarity with the technology can make you more agile.

Spending time on SEO, marketing and advertising is where I can attribute most of my success.
Wouldn't it be even more exciting to use robust tech, as in a car that doesn't require any forms of sensors/firmware to begin with?

That would certainly be cheaper, safer and more ecological, in all cases.

It’s not that complex. Judges aren’t computers, and the words of a law are not an imperative program that judges “execute” against the evidence and arguments. The attempted ruse isn’t that clever, and it’s more likely to piss a judge off than wow him or her.
Prettymaps: Small Python library to draw customized maps from OpenStreetMap data
Could you please expand on this? When you say data roles do you mean data analysis? Or something like Machine Learning etc?
1. That’s plainly not the case here since other languages are allowed to use custom allocators

2. Why use a binary tree benchmark in the first place if you’re going to limit the implementation to certain naive implementations (and again, only for one language)? Why not just measure allocations outright or at least call the benchmark “allocator performance”?

3. Showing allocation performance doesn’t help anyone understand the actual performance of the language, which is transparently what everyone uses these benchmarks for. If they wanted a general idea for language performance they would allow trivial, idiomatic optimizations. A benchmark that shows allocation performance is worthless, and a suite of benchmarks that includes a benchmark for allocation performance but not GC latency is worse than worthless: it’s misleading because latency is the more important concern and it’s what these bump allocators trade in order to get their fast allocation performance.
That is correct. Also Google Maps accuracy in SK (can only speak for Seoul, Busan) is not as good as the South Korean ones. Which is not the case for most other countries.

My most wanted feature for Firefox right now is the ability to right-click (or long-press on mobile) the link and choose "Open Link in Reader mode" exactly like they already offer for "open Link in New Private window".

I think that would be even more important than the Private shortcut, with the amount of unnecessary crap the websites try to cram on your screen.

Yeah, totally. But legally the voicing of opinions is protected because it's related to those "concerted activities". (as opposed to original commenter who thought it should be protected only when unrelated to those activities!)

One reason this matters, is that employees do not in fact generally have the equivalent of first ammendment rights at work. I'm just saying the law in the US, agree or not. (although I'm not a lawyer, this is not legal advice).

So for instance, if you work at, I dunno, a company that sells the color Blue, and you go around speaking at conferences on how Blue is actually the worst color and everyone should use Yellow instead, it's unlikely this would be considered a protected activity they can't fire you for. You don't generally have "free speech" rights at work. (The current law, whether we like it or not).

If the original commenter thinks you should, that you should generally be able to voice whatever opinion you want totally unrelated to "organizing" activities, go around telling everyone that Blue is a terrible mistake of a color while working at Blue Inc and they shouldn't be able to fire you for it since you're just expressing your opinion... they are actually arguing for an expansion of labor rights, which is to say a restriction on employer ability to fire, that does not currently exist in the US. Which, sure, I could welcome that. It's not the way it works now.

I am from Brazil, living in Brazil, have accounts in Brazil, and so on.

And got stuck for a while in a similar loop when I decided to get married.

The marriage office wanted me to prove my residence, and it had to be MY residence, not partner, not parents, it had to be mine.

Meanwhile the places I attempted then to rent to fix the previous issue, wanted proof I had a high enough income to rent them, but wouldn't accept my future wife contribution to it properly.

The deadlock was broken only when one day the broker called me, saying some dude was offering his apartment for a really cheap rent because it was an emergency for him. (his mom got cancer and he decided to live with her and use the rent money to help pay her treatment)

I accepted, and had to live in the apartment alone for some 2 months before I could go register my marriage.

If it wasn't for my landowner misfortune I wouldn't been able to get married.

Then right after got stuck in another loop: I was candidate for council elections once, the party lawyer promised to take care of everything for me, but he didn't, despite the fact I spent 0 money and got 0 donations, government decided I was potentially corrupt and took away my voting rights (and in Brazil this means you basically become a non-citizen, you can't get a passport, certain IDs, participate in competitions and so on).

I found that out AFTER I married and took my new wife to the voting office to change her name in the registry. So I went to see how to get my citizen rights back, and found out a need a lawyer, it is mandatory, you can't just represent yourself to send the missing documents, you need a lawyer. So I need money, so I need a job (I have a company but not enough money for lawyer, wnated extra money). Then I found out to get a job legally, you need to have the voting rights.

I am breaking now this deadlock by getting hired by a foreign company instead, then I will use the money I get working from the foreign company to pay the lawyer.

But it made me wonder, I am fortunate, what about people that don't work with stuff that allow them to get a remote job with a foreign company? Will them be forever non-citizens?
As it is explained in the "readme" part, in this specific context, "naturally occurring" means that no one has purposefully manipulated any of the images to make them collide: that the images were already published and "out there" and happen to collide. In other words, it does not necessarily imply that the images correspond to natural photographic scenes (which seems to be your interpretation of it).

Besides, you could probably "naturally" obtain such type of colliding images by photographing similar-looking objects against a white (or generally featureless) background. Furthermore, it suggests/demonstrates that similar-looking images with similar backgrounds can lead to unexpected collisions in practice (i.e. "naturally"), even if you do not assume an adversarial scenario.

Are you sure that, if you take a picture of a naked body part, it won't collide with anything that looks similar in their database?
It makes it a lot easier to move to a new provider and looks more professional.

The issue is not that a celebrity photo might get into a CSAM database. It's that a true CSAM photo, which has been modified to have the same hash as a "leaked celebrity nude selfie", will probably get into a CSAM database.

Privacy violated in Palestine: ISPs leave private data exposed
We know because that communication happens on UDP and each packet on app layer has sequence number. It is used on receiving side to rebuild sequence of packets (events from the exchange can only be understood correctly when processed in same order as generated and only if you have complete stream -- you can't process a packet until you processed the one preceding it). It is trivial to detect that we haven't missed a packet.

We had a special alert for a missing packet. To my knowledge that has never activated in production except for exchange-mandated tests (the exchange runs tests regularly to ensure every brokerage house can handle faults in communications, maximum loads, etc.)

If a packed was missed, the same data is replicated on another, independent link through another carrier.

And if this wasn't enough, if your system is down (which it shouldn't happen during trading) you can contact exchange's TCP service and request for the missing sequences. But that never happened, either.

As we really liked this pattern, we built a small framework and used it for internal communication as well including data flowing to traders' workstations.

Mind, that neither the carrier link, the networking devices or people who maintain it are cheap.
I always think it's interesting when Americans try to hide their news from foreigners. So much for being proud of your country, I guess?
Which part is innovative? The business model of random people using their own vehicle and taxiing others or the app to coordinate dispatching?

I wholeheartedly agree the system wasn't great in many cities before Uber, but it's just a sleek version of what was obvious at the time--it just hadn't been built and the incentives weren't there.

I think you can look at bus/train systems as a comparison. In many cities you can download their app, set a destination, and it shows you what tickets you need to buy. You wave your phone to prove you bought your ticket. In many cities you can see the actual buses live on a map. Many bus stops show when the next bus arrives live. Uber was founded in 2009 and iPhone released in 2007. Google Maps was released in 2005, added traffic info in 2007, and Google Maps shipped with the first iPhone. It wasn't hard to see these pieces coming together--it just needed a lot of work, coordination, and a few generations of hardware and software improvements.

I do think they were the first and were innovative in a lot of aspects. I think their impact on the business of taxiing is way more "innovative" than the app and tech--but innovative doesn't necessarily mean "good" or a great use of resources.

"It's just pizza, not some priceless work of art"

Isn't that highly reductionist? People derive pleasure from immersion and mastery of all sorts of things. I'd argue that food can make you feel just as much, and probably a lot more emotion than typical art does.
We should celebrate "right" is the only word ruined here. Wait till the word "human" means nothing.
For several elections it's hovered around the 1/3 mark. That's not bad by regional standards, and bear in mind several large and populous regions in Afghanistan are non-Pushtun and even follow different branches of Islam. There's just no way the Taliban can conceivably command anything more than middling minority support.

They just have more guns and a bloodier determination to use them. Unfortunately, as is often the case, that’s all it takes.

Komeet X9 – Luxury E-Scooter 62mi or 100km Range
Ask the owner of the electric scooter:
- How often do you need to charge it?
He will answer you:
- Once a day at least.

This can be explained very simply.
Most e-scooters have a mileage of about 15 mi or 25 km per charge.

The Komeet X9 e-scooter offers its riders a range of up to 62 mi or 100 km on a single charge.
You can ride for a week and even forget where your charger is)

Is 62 mi or 100 km a lot? Yes, but not for the Komeet e-scooter.
You will ride this distance in one fell swoop.
The maximum speed of 25 mph or 40 km/h per hour gives you this opportunity.

Down with fatigue, long live comfort.
Due to the wide deck, you can ride without fatigue.
It is much more comfortable when the feet are fully on the deck.
Wide handlebars enable you to ride with confidence and control.
Large and wide tires allow exploring the world around you without looking at the road all the time.

The joy of a fast-ish ride, it's a breeze to get.
Powerful motors of 500W and 550W will delight any rider with the acceleration of the e-scooter.
Climbing uphill, riding on hills will bring pleasure in the “conquest” of a peak.

Power is good, but safety comes first.
E-ABS is used for braking, recuperation recharges the battery.
You can push the rear fender traditionally.
But, most importantly, two disc brakes will stop the scooter almost instantly.
The upgraded 3W highlight headlight shines brighter and farther when riding at night.

Well, the cherry on the cake.
The Komeet X9 e-scooter has a removable battery, which gives you even more freedom of movement.
You can have several batteries for long e-scooter rides.
Or, for example, one battery can be at home and the other at the office.
My take on this is that the system is by and large useless.

It won't catch anything but the dumbest of dumb criminals, because those who care about CSAM can surely figure out a better way to share images, or find a way to obfuscate their images enough to bypass the system (the lower the false positive rate, the easier it must be to trick the system).

So what's left when all the criminals this is supposed to catch have figured it out?

False positives. Only false positives.

Is it really worth turning personal devices into snitches that don't even do a good job of protecting children?

Also, numbers about false positives must be taken with a grain of salt because of the non-uniform distribution of perceptual hashes. It might be that your random vacation photos and kitty pics have a 1-in-a-million chance of a fapo, but someone who happens to (say) live in an apartment that has been laid out very similarly to a scene in pictures appearing in the CSAM database may have a massively higher chance of fapos for photos taken in their home.

I’ve found it the only way to stay sane on sites where ad blockers don’t work.
My takeaway from the ask is what can you get done as a “solopreneur” and which tools do you use to do it. It looks like there are many answers and no single “right” answer. I’m particularly interested to know why people pick the tools that they pick.
Agreed. Fundamentally, when you say you have a "human right" to, e.g., food, you are saying that you have the right to take, without compensation, the time and energy of farmers, ranchers, food packers, etc. When you say you have a "human right" to healthcare, you are saying that it is right to enslave doctors, nurses, etc., to your needs. This is all wrong.

Rights are freedoms, not entitlements. You're free to speak your mind. Free to gather with others. Free to bear arms. Free from unwarranted search and seizure. Free to seek work. Free to live.
What about Amazon? Or any other dominant player in any market?

Steam does not come pre-installed on nearly every device unlike Apple's and Googles offering. Future Steam Deck not withstanding, but that will be miniscule player.

They don't prevent any other store from operating. So I don't see how they are comparable to anything Google or Apple does. Windows Store might qualify if they forced themselves on Windows in same way. But certainly Steam is entirely different.
