Not even certain what to say.

Yes this is a low value comment but I'm speechless. The argument "We potentially screwed up so much that there would be so many people suing us that it would cause legal chaos. So as a result we should be granted full waivers of liability to avoid the lawsuits." Is so brazen as to be absurd.

But the fact it was a successful argument and won is what's astounding.

I read that thread a while ago. While I'm not so convinced by the conspiracy rhetoric itself, I think it is plainly obvious that a good chunk of the social parts of the internet are gamed. You've got tons of bots, influencers buying influence instead of generating it, you've got information blackouts, attempts to manipulate discussion, all sorts of things like that. The old saying "everyone is a bot but you" is funny because it is far fetched, but also funny because there's a nugget of truth there.

I wouldn't say the internet is devoid of real people, but it is definitely less useful for real interaction than it used to be.

It's demotivating since I feel like I should be moving faster and I end up feeling.

> protected by diplomatic immunity

Aah yes, about that "diplomatic immunity" ...

(1) "In court papers, the former Foreign Office (FCO) minister Tony Baldry said the diplomatic immunity deal reached in 1995 was intended specifically to exclude dangerous driving cases, or indeed any actions not related to the work of the staff at the base"[1]

(2) Even if (1) were not the case, there have been documented cases where the US has "put pressure" on genuine diplomats working on US soil who have committed offences in order to be able to prosecute in the US (something about a Georgian diplomat in 1997 IIRC). Why should the rest of the world be subjected to "do as I say, but not as I do" with the US ?

(3) What about that stupid "surprise surprise" show Trump attempted to put on at the Whitehouse ? I mean that's just sticking two-fingers up in the air to the UK family by saying "well, you can meet the perpetrator who's waiting in the next room ... ready to shed some crocodile tears for the cameras".

There’s a third choice, which is not getting the vaccine because you already have natural resistance to COVID, such as through a previous infection with COVID. In this case, a vaccine could introduce unnecessary risk.
Apps do much more. You can change location with a click, force kill switch, blocks ads or malware, change to openVPN if UDP is blocked, automatically connect and switch between networks, etc.

It’s a better experience.
Because like 90% of the traffic is malicious. VPNs and proxies obviously change your exit IP, and people rotate through these as they do things like spam, make accounts, credential stuff, etc. This means they're burning through the IP ranges and getting them flagged.

If you're on a VPN with a fresh ASN and IP range you won't have any issues (until people start using it for other reasons).

If you wanted to "fix it" the dirty method, there's extensions for chrome/firefox/etc that will automatically submit your captcha to a captcha solving service and it costs some tiny amount.

tldr; Mischievous basically has to go through VPNs, and they rotate through IPs getting them flagged. You can join the dark side with a captcha solving service and extension, and there's some "solutions" like privacy pass you can try.

Whatever happened to the idea that everyone should be free to speak whatever they want, no matter how wrong or ridiculous, and let the light of truth expose the charlatans?

That's one of the reasons I find true free speech platforms like Gab so refreshing. Sure, you'll even find some actual Nazis there, but it's better to just let them beclown themselves and get beat down by realists than to suppress them and force them to gather in the dark, where they can more easily pretend to be rational. BTW, you'll also find some of the best commentary on the web there, too, though you may have to hunt for it...
I could buy this for those limited use cases (although since more and more we're productionizing scipy code, it would be nice to have sane, maintainable APIs as well as rapid-iterating APIs, but I digress...), but the fact that these are so common across the ecosystem is the more troubling bit (and I think we agree here). :)

It still amazes me that anyone still believes that the pictures they see on TV are in any way real.

100% of content on TV is fake. I used to say except the news, but now I'm not even able to trust that. If it's a commercial, definitely fake. If it's a TV show, 100% fake. Games shows shoot 5 episodes in a day, so when they say "last week's winner" it was last hour's.

> I'd be willing to bet this scam was covid related

You might be correct. The obvious idea is that it's more difficult to identify the phantom students if everything is virtual.

That being said, where I teach, we have a system (both for on-ground and on-line) where you have to complete at least one non-trivial assignment (usually a quiz) within the first 2 weeks of the semester. If you don't complete the quiz (or whatever), you are dropped from the course and the loans are not fully released.

I imagine our policy was in response to "phantom" students abusing the loan system. But our policy has been in place for at least 10 years so the scam has been afoot for a while.
Absolutely. It's been incredible watching it happen in slow motion over the last decade. What was once a bastion of free thought and discussion online (after the fall of Digg) has turned into another trimmed and controlled mainstream playground for only the "right" opinions.

Sometimes (not saying this is your experience but it was mine) theres way too much information coming at you to write down. If you dont understand any of it, you will miss things while furiously note taking and it wont be an efficient way to learn. In that case better in my view to read ahead so you can focus your class time on the complex parts.

If you really need the full record you can always find a lecture recording, a textbook or someone elses notes
Money and power are two sides of the same coin. Money is literally the unit of measure for power over other people - to the first approximation, a dollar in hand means you can make appropriate people do a dollar's worth of arbitrary work for you.

The more money you have, the more you have of this kind of power mediated by economy. You can, in particular, use this power to have politicians do work for you (many ways of doing this are perfectly legal). Conversely, political power - the kind mediated by legal systems or explicit threats of violence - is directly convertible to money.

(There's also a special variant of the latter - power wielded by organized religions. The power to browbeat others into doing almost any arbitrary work. Of course, that one too is trivially convertible to both money and political power, and vice versa. That's why fully separating business, church and state is fundamentally impossible. They're different facets of the same thing. An Unholy Trinity.)
A few years ago, I made a new year's resolution to be more forgiving to myself. At the time, I would feel miserable at the end of the day for, say, not doing laundry even though I had resolved to do so. I would downright hate myself for not getting this simple task done despite having had the time.

So, that year, whenever I would have such a thought, I'd tell myself that I forgive my past self. "It's ok!"

And it has been extremely effective! I don't think I procrastinate less (or more) on laundry nowadays, but I can't remember the last time I went to bed feeling terrible about myself. It almost feels absurd to me now to think about, but it's actually been life-changing. And it required no money, no explicit commitment, no lifestyle changes, no time taken out of every day. Just a small but persistent voice objecting to the self-loathing.

Downsides might include being overall more apathetic and possibly less motivated - but that might also be an illusion. I don't know, it's hard to compare to beforehand, and I don't think terrorizing yourself is particularly effective in the first place. But even if I had to choose, I would definitely pick "slightly less productive" over "self-hatred".

People say to love/respect yourself. Not hating yourself is a pretty foundational step in that :)

How did they convince you not to? Please tell me they have offered you something concrete and haven't just made empty promises or said nice things.

The problem is that even rigorous studies can be wrong, and it's not immediately obvious. This means people take intention into account as well.

A good example here, is how decades ago the FDA recommended people avoid eating fat (butter, lard, etc). This is how the fat-free movement started, and then it turned out that eating fat is actually benefitial for one's health. This misguided the public and food companies into substituting fat for sugars and carbs, which was very bad for public health.

They're lending 95% of their deposits or whatever the reserve requirement is. It's just that every other bank is too, and when they loan money it almost always ends up back in the banking system just in another account. The money creation is an artifact of the same dollar getting deposited and loaned multiple times.

I applaud this change!

In practice, however, I don't think much will change. In astronomy, and my subfield in particular, all papers are free on arXiv, and the publishing and referee process are almost more of an afterthought: the threat that you better produce a high-quality paper to get it officially published and usable in a job application.

But for research, arXiv is king. (There are even reports of some people no longer bothering submitting to a journal once they got tenure...)

If you can't pay the publication charges (usually paid by your grant), then there are other reputable journals in astronomy like MNRAS and Physical Review D. Physical review even let's you submit by importing from arXiv.

And reality isn't a heist movie.

Most heirs are not going to attempt to murder for the money. They normally are already enjoying that wealth. And if the money maker stays alive it just grows even more.

Now even if they have a motive. How are they going to connect to the right engineer? They likely don't have the skills to even identify an employee that could deliberately sabotage the system.

And you likely couldn't do it with just one employee. There's at least one other person reviewing their work. And tons of inspections and tests you'd have to hide it all from. So you'd end up with a heist movie.

That said, the groups that could do things like this are state actors. But then we are talking about a very well funded group that can afford to spend years placing people in key positions. And then we get back to motive. Only state actor that would really want to hold back SpaceX or Blue Origin would be China. But the reaction from such sabotage could go a lot of ways. Not worth the resources.

I hadn’t heard of this being an impossible feat before and I likewise don’t see why it would be. I remember from Kahneman’s work on human biases and fast/slow thinking that they used pupil dilation as a great proxy for how much conscious concentration someone is using. So I don’t see why controlling it would be such an impossible thing.
Fair point, thanks. :)
Same here - The survivors on my home network are the ones with minimal ongoing BS. PFSense updates itself and chugs along like a champ. Plex does similar and never needs any kind of complex migration between versions. The Aruba wifi gear I picked up for a song because no bugger knows how to configure it is a million firmware versions behind current and it performs just brilliantly.

Many other things - Nextcloud, caddy, proxmox to name a few, are long gone now because they demanded hours of attention at unpredictable times, and I just can't be jeffed.

I still love tinkering with bits of tech on the home network, but I'm extremely wary of coming to rely on any of it until it's proven itself to need minimal ongoing babysitting.
