If you flip the sexes, would you still be 'very hesitant' to go after these guards as rapists?

If we were talking about 13 year old girls in detention having sex with adult male guards, and someone said "for the girls they don't have opportunities other than possibly these guards.. for some of the guards the situation might not be that different", would that be okay with you, or would you consider that rape?

Because I'd argue that there is only one word for a guard having sex with a 13 year old who is their prisoner, and that is rape. The sex of the guard or the prisoner should be irrelevant.

When it comes to statutory rape, it is the 'informed' part of consent that is missing; as a society we have agreed that people under a certain age have not developed the skills or life experience to identify and understand a coercive relationship, or to recognise that they are being taken advantage of.

So even if the victim is an enthusiastic participant, the reason we as a society consider this rape is because these are children who don't have the life experience or maturity to make an informed decision, and that full-grown adults should not be taking advantage of them.

When you add in the outrageously unbalanced guard-prisoner power dynamic, it is extra inappropriate.
> I said they're designed and tested to prevent serious disease, not infection, and therefore transmission is expected to continue to a significant extent even after we achieve high rates of vaccination.

I agree then.

> So I'll ask again, in what way was @belter wrong in your opinion?

I assumed he would make an argument about covid vaccines being ineffective. His actual argument he later made was that the unvaccinated are not solely to blame for spreading of the disease. Which he's right about. But it's a shallow victory because the unvaccinated are actually largely to blame. He's arguing against a strawnan. In the context of the article, presumably it's an argument that the teacher was not negligent for not getting vaccinated, but I don't agree with that.
I remember seeing repair videos where people would fix it by taping or gluing (can't remember) a penny to the motherboard in a particular spot, so this checks out well enough
That’s not how opsec works. It shouldn’t matter who the agent is, if it happened it is also a vulnerability of the system. It should withstand tampering by any sufficiently motivated party.

It is like saying “yes, my website was hacked, but it was by an evil person” or “it was through social engineering.” Don’t care, it was hacked, can’t happen on such a critical system.

medRxiv publishes preliminary scientific reports that are not peer-reviewed and, therefore, should not be regarded as conclusive, guide clinical practice/health-related behavior, or treated as established information.

You fucking liar. You fucking merchant of death. You fucking deceiver. If your position were logical, rational, and intellectually honest, you would not have to mis-represent non-peer-reviewed, inconclusive single studies as inarguable truths.

Will blockchain kill corporations? I suspect they do more to oppress people than nation-states do, and I doubt governments could do much without the cooperation of the private sector. For example, the Nazi regime had to get their Zyklon-B from Bayer AG. The NSA is getting much of their data from telecoms, ISPs, and social media companies. And then there's Palantir.

I've tried NextCloud, even 1-click hosted by a third party. For all the power, it's not built with me in mind, it seems to treat my photos like files/data, not like photos. I want to pay money for that extra oomph, for algorithms, searchability (about $10/month for my photos seems about right), and I want to pay money so I don't have to pay with my time. Is there something I can buy that's on top of NextCloud?
I don't use any licensed software with enforcement methods like this, but it looks trivial to defeat.

A string dump of the binary would likely show these directories, and even if they were obfuscated, an strace would reveal them as they probed the file dates.
The risk is definitely quite great and requires personal responsibility. Avoiding drug and alcohol use and using modern safety gear (not DOT junk) greatly reduces the probability of serious injury, but cannot eliminate it. It is a fantastic pastime, though.

There's always dirt riding, track riding, and mountain biking to scratch the itch without traffic!
On the other hand, it teaches rapid prototyping and just trying out theories since each theory is fairly cheap to test out.

There's a somewhat popular TED talk on how kindergarteners frequently outcompete adults in the marshmallow challenge (tl;dr; build the tallest structure possible using assorted materials but a marshmallow must be on top) because, among other reasons, they're willing to just try out different approaches and fail fast rather than take a long time to think up of an approach that ultimately fails.

The memfd_secret() system call is pretty exciting (https://lwn.net/Articles/836724/). Once the secretmem feature is enabled at boot time, you are hardened against kernel flaws. A userspace process (running with elevated privileges) will only be able to perform secrets exfiltration using ptrace.

Just like Uncle Bob. I am dismayed by the fame of these two.

If you want to actually learn what they call "clean coding" (aka proper design, these guys are great at creating buzzwords, and great public speakers), the way to go is "Systematic Program Design" (in youtube [1], same material as edx's How To Code), which is based on the Htdp book ("how to design programs"), followed by MIT's OCW 6.005 [2] ("Software Construction").

Both are free. But who knows this? There is no one to hype them, no "movement" behind what are tried and trusted techniques, no flashy CQRS SOLID acronyms.

These two courses, instead, teach you timeless concepts and techniques that will survive all fads.

How to do it:

for(i=0;i<a.length;i++) {
b[i] = a[i] + 10

But things get muddy because many languages offer higher level for-loops and forEach functions, etc.

I assumed they meant that a regex here could be used to just extract out the numbers and remove anything extraneous. They mention it fails with trailing characters, or typical punctuation used in numbers (eg. dashes).

A little regex to remove out anything non-digit would leave you with just the numbers to compare to the numbers in the list.

We may need to agree to disagree on the point about online school families. As a principle, I try not to judge any parents' choices on what school they select for their children. Education is an incredibly complex issue and we should all strive for all parents to make informed decisions about their families.

Online school families, as a particular example, have a wide variety of needs that draw them to the model of learning (e.g., a child being medically homebound; a child who practices/trains for competitive sports or arts; or a child who desires flexibility in where, when, and how fast they work on their academic courses).

The point about academic bonding is that students in any one of our learning pods will be from a range of ages (generally no more than 3 years apart at most), given the freedom to work on different subjects at the same time, and encouraged to work at whatever pace is best for them. In other words, I agree with you that academic bonding is a really good thing, but it is just hard for us to nurture given the flexibility inherent in our model. Therefore, we take extra care to make sure that the students build relationships over the other parts of the pod experience.
Theory is great, but everywhere I've worked managing permissions becomes a nightmare that either ends up with everybody having too much access or not having the access they need.

I think ente does fill a niche, people don't mind paying dollars for companies because it is supposed to guarantee a level of service/polish. And in the case of photos, if the service were to shut down, there's very likely a path one can take to perform a migration.

I'm a big user of open source solutions, I use Linux on my machine and use syncthing to sync files across all my devices. I'm aware that my solution is not doable for everyone and that's the problem with most open source solutions, the lack of polish/ease of use. There are tons of systems that aren't open source that we are forced to rely upon for day to day, airplane software, traffic lights, telecommunications) and we've just accepted it because of convenience and trust.

What I'm trying to say is that we don't have to worry about self-hosting everything and force ourselves to only use open source tools. I do think that if we do use private tools, we should understand how our data can be exported to a new system if necessary so we're not "locked in".
There are (with varying degrees of shadiness) cracking services which specifically cater to people who have legally purchased software but are hampered by the DRM. Dongles are a bit of an interesting case in that a lot of the time the software they protect is something like the control program for a 6-,7-,or 8-figure priced piece of industrial machinery, without which the software would be useless anyway, so the hardware is already effectively a dongle.

Debugging typed in programs is how I learned programming. Actually understanding the code I was typing in instead of trying to get everything typed in perfect made debugging so much easier, plus I could make my own customizations. I only typed in a couple of text adventures because the process of typing them in often gave away most of the mysteries in the game, which wasn't an issue with action type games.

As a computer science person, a programmer, a "systems thinker", frankly I find this talk embarrassing because of how extraordinarily out of touch it is. Like, the logistics of meatspace don't exist. As if information was all that was necessary for people to feed their lives. Wake up, go outside, please. People need food, shelter, housing, transportation, jobs to be productive at, medicine. We need agriculture and trade of goods and services. We need energy and protection, courts, passtimes, identity, and religious outlets.

Blockchain and the internet don't have police. They don't provide any meatspace service, and couldn't, in their disembodied unreality. There's no system of justice that pops automatically out of some blockchain feverdream. The internet doesn't spring up from the ground and twist its wires around lightpoles. Nation states are not going anywhere, ffs. Meatspace needs governance and logistics that aren't pushing buttons on keyboards.
> I was wondering, is there any interest in implementing a kind of single/two player mode?

It's not the first time such an idea has been floated. If you go onto the "demon" screen (gamemaster screen) and type in "set MAIN_NAV_HYBRID=1", you'll then see both the "main view" and the usual navigation stuff on the navigation screen. That's about as far as I've gone down that road though. The thing is, what makes this game a little bit unusual is the multiplayer cooperative aspect of it. You get a bunch of linux nerds in a room with a projector and a bunch of computers and it's like you're captain of a star ship (hence the name "space nerds in space".) Obviously, it could conceivably be possible to run the whole ship from a single screen by a single person, as demonstrated by countless other space games in which ships are piloted by a single person. But then, it's just another space game just like all the other space games, as you've removed the one thing that makes it kind of different. So, I've kind of resisted that path. If I were to pursue such a path, I'd probably fork the project and make a different game out of it.
It's not an analogy, it's an example.

And everything I listed in my comment came from the article:

> On the day of the concert, you feel sick and it’s raining outside. You know that traffic will be worse because of the rain and that you risk getting sicker by going to the concert.

So they did cover those elements. The point of the article is to discuss the sunk cost fallacy, which they did. The fallacy is choosing to go to the concert because you spent the $50 on the ticket, disregarding the other considerations or weighing them below the sunk cost in importance. If you go despite the issues they mention but because you think it's going to be worth it (in enjoyment, uniqueness, whatever) then you've made a decision that wasn't based on the fallacy. Which is what they discuss in the article.
You want to send kids to a uniform school, learning uniform things, in an assembly-line manner. The home schooling / unschooling movement believes that every student is different, how they learn best is unique to them, and the factory schools are overpriced / inefficient / run by corrupt unions. The movement is growing because people don’t want their kids to suffer in the horrible schools designed to beat the desire to learn out of them. Parents have the right to determine how to raise their kids and that includes their education. The moment the state requires you to send your kids to an indoctrination camp is the moment I leave the country.

> I'm an American living in Europe and it's frustrating for me at times dealing with people who don't want to work.

I haven't seen what you experienced nearly as bad, but I think a much larger challenge is dealing with people who are content to repeatedly exercise substantially the same skillsets each year, every year. Even after I take to the trouble to mentor them with identifying what they desire for their career, aligning to their revealed preferences of what user stories they opt to deliver in team scrums, writing up suggested "getting started" lesson plans, pointing out appropriately small, simple improvements in the code base they can apply their new skills towards, and arranging for free access to one of the big technical training sites. You can lead a horse...
A few days ago, someone expressed interest in finding content teaching what I think of as the "physics mindset". So not preparing for physics exams, or future classes. Nor building math skills, except incidentally. Nor of course learning about the physical world in its richness. But more, the art of... maybe call it system decomposition and approximation into, and playing with, simple models? They asked, and I didn't know of anything to suggest which has that as its focus. Any thoughts?

I don't know what your experience is in this area, but how do you believe they regulate access to a satellite from another nation flying overhead if your people have the device to access it?

You can just about jam GPS signals locally (within a few km if you pour the resources into it.) Nations are not able in practice to generally jam satellite signals.

We know that nations are not able to do this in practice... because it's how people from those locations are calling out to us.

Road curves can be quite surprising too. There are always exceptions due to topography and obstacles but optimal curves are not always obvious.

A simple corner on a motorway/autobahn/highway/etc has at least three curves in plan - in, out and shake it all about. OK, in and out and the main bend itself. The idea is that you need to transition the various forces into and out of the turn as safely as possible. A right angle turn is not a simple: straight -> quarter circle -> straight. As well as that, we have to consider line of sight and overtaking and water runoff and the effect of wind on high sided vehicles and ... and ... . Oh and of course these turns happen in 3D. I'm quite a fan of Holden Hill in Devon on the A38 - get your speed right in either direction and it feel effortless but you need enough power too. Purists in the UK will probably point at Snake Pass and most of Welsh roads and the like but I know Holden Hill.

Anyway, roads are sodding complicated. Why not curl up with this little number: https://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/prod/attachments/c27c...

That's the design standard for major UK roads. Note things like crest and sag curves, worrying about kerbs and so on.

That depends on whether you are attacking the clients or the server. If an attacker obtained a domain cert or wildcard cert, while in control of the domain, then the attacks can continue.
Only if they notice it among 60K+ domain names. There might be an automated system that silently proceeds to the next domain if the bucket has already been claimed.
