> Does anyone here have a feasible way to solve this?

Current solutions like TOR, I2P, VPNs and/or mobile proxy services are just a matter of time and legality until they come obsolete due to their publicly known nature.

I am convinced that the only way to solve this is by simply not downloading the website from its origin. The origin tracks you, so don't talk to them. Talk to your peers and receive a ledged copy of it instead.

The only problem is that this contradicts all that came after Web 2.0, because every website _wants_ unique identities for every person visiting them; including ETag-based tracking mechanisms of CDNs.

I think it's not possible with supporting Web Browser APIs the same way in JavaScript (as of now, due to fetch and XHR and how WebSockets are abused for HDCP/DRM to prevent caching), but I think that a static website delivering network with a trustless cryptography based peer-to-peer end-to-end encrypted statistically-correct cache is certainly feasible. I believe that because that's exactly what I'm building for the last two years [1].

>As a US citizen, I've been wondering for almost 10 years now if we're edging towards a new civil war.

What are they going to do? Fight each other on their Power Wheelchairs?

Yes I am aware of the far right arming themselves and training for years for a coming 'war'. I think with the Parler leaks + Facebook, I suspect the government knows the exact location of the overwhelming majority of these people and wouldn't hesitate to gun them down if some calamity broke out.

I agree that the CCP, Soviets and others are probably devoting some resources to spreading division. It is so cheap to do in the grand scheme of things so I guess that everyone including 'soft allies' might be participating but these tactics only work due to real issues in the society that have been unresolved for decades.

Besides...long term China has more serious problems to contend with. Things such as the coming population collapse, extreme climate change that threatens their food supplies, and growing unrest as the population starts to expect more and more from the CCP.

China rolls out first 600 km/h high-speed maglev train
> For the first 1000 years after Christ, Greece and Rome were the only nations telling stories of heroes and champions. England was just a dreary little island of rejects, castoffs, barbarians and losers.

I stopped reading here as someone who can make this assertion doesn't care about being right.

1) Beowulf

2) Christian, Latin-educated Essex can hardly be called "barbarian", etc.

3) China told stories of heroes and champions during that span of 1,000 years - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_mythology

(So of course did humans all around the world. I chose China to minimize the question of what "nation" means. Note that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation#Medieval_nations points to examples of Essex as a medieval nation. )
I vouched for this, because I don't understand why this was dead and I would like to hear some other opinions.
The headline makes it look like a mistake, like a developer lacking care, when this was the result of a deliberate - and I would argue: legitimate - action that spiralled out of control because of too many people trusting SPoFs.

Also, breaking some javascript code on the web is hardly "breaking the internet".
Hmm, not sure how I am conflating things, I meant to just wrote about ARM templates full stop? The API I refer to is the Azure Management API (we ended up using that directly from Python instead of using ARM ourselves)...

I said that referencing by name is one of the few things that are good about Azure. It means one does not have to persist a lot of resource IDs when deploying infra, one can just query the cloud state.

What I am looking for -- or what I would love if someone built for me -- is utilizing that feature to deliver Terraform or Pulumi without the need for a statefile. The statefile should not be needed on Azure due to the resource naming scheme -- just query the management APIs to get currrent state.

When we looked at Terraform and Pulumi we saw that the tools by default sucked down evey secret in the resources into the statefile. This is behaviour I very much disagree with, we do not want secrets stored anywhere or pass through anywhere, we want to rely on service identity everywhere.

PS I am speculating here about why the statefile is needed...I have been assuming something about Amazon made it needed, but I may be wrong.
I think your experience may have more to do with looking in brick and mortar locations that have probably permanently lost foot traffic in the last year. It looks like (in the US) there are plenty of rocker-style switches on Amazon available for delivery in 1 or 2 days, or homedepot.com in 4 or 5 days.

The last time I was in a big box hardware store, it looked like they had kind of given up on front-of-house organization or cleanliness.
The Lisperati1000 computer
Stopping to treat politics like entertainment and actively spreading false facts would be a good start, IMHO. Not that I expect any of that so. Same goes for other countries, maybe a tad less extreme.
To steel-man parent's post, usually it's not that civilization per se collapses, the collapse is better characterized as a loss of state capacity. The important distinction being - technology wasn't lost.

This framing is also relevant to present-day conversations. Claiming that our civilization is collapsing makes people eyes roll. Claim that we're losing state capacity is a message people are more receptive to.
I'm surprised nobody questions the "why" did the police did that. A climate activist doesn't sound like someone who requires strong police investigation. And, for that matter, not that strong since the police didn't read the content of the emails but merely used one IP address.

But here, it's not climate activist. It's people illegally occupying private properties, iow squatting. They do it for political reasons, fine, but it's illegal nonetheless.

Also, I'm a bit surprised that these are climate activist at work here since gentrification (the process they fight against by squatting) is not really a climate issue but more a problem (as I read it) of capitalism.

(now I understand the whole issue down here revolves around disclosure of expected-to-be-protected information, but well, there's a big picture too...)
I have an AlphaSmart 3000 and it's not all that bad if you think of it as a keyboard that you can use away from your computer.

Yes, the transfer speeds are slow. On the other hand you can pull up any program that accepts keyboard input on your computer, plug it in, and hit send. You are not messing around with files are proprietary software to transfer those files.

It also takes a lot more than the batteries to die to lose your data. Like many older devices, it has a backup battery to maintain the contents of memory. Both the main batteries and the backup batteries have to be dead to lose data, which is tricky to do since the device will only run from the main batteries.

That said, the editor is very primitive and it is awkward to navigate by word and line alone while editing documents.

In this case I'm thinking in the perspective the mass of average consumers would say someone is thinking. To them a realistic threat model assessment would be 'paranoia' (people are out to get you).

The intent was to use a single word to convey most of a complex intent, without diluting the message trying to express nuance that is better left to the reader to evaluate.
Late to the discussion. As others have pointed out, PostgreSQL is plenty modern and capable. Whatever a “modern” database did that Postgres didn’t, would show up in Postgres soon after said “new” technology had stood the public test of “is it worth it.”

There’s a variant of the question that interests me though. It’s said that much of large scale software now days is built the way we build our cities. One layer on top of another on top of another. Even though a city like London is large and capable and full featured, it has years of history below it. And sometimes that slow evolution even complicates things. Some might argue, that if we had unlimited resources, we could go find a nice new piece of virgin ground and build a New London, that could be simplified and not contend with its historical baggage.

So by analogue, if we could respin a fresh new simplified/unified/rationalized version of postgresql today, what would it look like?
PPC Trends You Must Follow in 2021
Google doesn't care about the accessibility of information, they care about their politics and that's why, like other SV companies, they were very upfront about their support to certain causes and candidates. The problem is that when it comes to other countries they got no clue about the politics of the place and they don't even know who they want to support. I am sure once they figure out who are the "baddies" they are going to censor them without even a slight regard to accessibility of information.

I’d just comment it out, but not commit it. The build server should have the disable flag.

Commenting out is a slight inconvenience, just enough to make sure it gets done.
Yep, but they are called templates in backend frameworks, You write HTML with sprinkled in logic in Elixir/PHP/Python/Ruby etc.

Components is the terminus used in (usually) JavaScript frontend development where you write JS logic and HTML is only used in the render/view/etc function.
You need a VPN provider outside your legislation of course. Access is still not impossible, but much more unlikely. Perhaps choose a country not on good terms with your own.
Yes! I would see this tied in with temporal support throughout the database, so you can query the schema and data as it was at 2021-09-03 11:53:28.

This avoids some big problems with temporal data but I can't see it ever being efficient to do.
it actually beat the Nikon F to market, a camera often thought of as the first professional SLR camera.

The Nikon F is an early 35mm SLR with a pentaprism. Professional SLR’s go back to the 19th century. For example Graflex. http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Graflex_reflex_models

Here is Dorothea Lange with a Graflex SLR. https://www.shorpy.com/Dorothea-Lange?size=_original#caption
It may even be the camera she used for Migrant Mother.

Prior to the Nikon F there were 35mm SLR cameras with other types of finders, e.g. waist level.

Hasselblad produced its first consumer SLR’s in the late 1940’s and the iconic 500 series was launched two years prior to the Nikon F (1957 v 1959). https://www.hasselblad.com/inspiration/history/first-consume...

Well said. Deep corruption everywhere and it is spreading. I think empires in decline are unavoidably this way.

I think this Ivermectin debate has nothing to do with Ivermectin, but about big pharma attempting to usurp power via several government agencies who also want power as they are now being put in charge of things they were never designed for and are not well constituted to handle (things your doctor should be in charge of).

I think this Afghanistan withdrawal was intentionally botched in order to try to get American support for going back in, by sick-minded money-hungry monsters.

You have to listen to many people and then figure out who you trust and on what topics. The most trustworthy and intelligent voices are podcasters. But each has their failings and none should be held up on a pedestal. I trust Glenn Greenwald, but not on topics regarding Socialism. I trust Bret Weinstein, but I don't trust his judgement of other people (he seems far too forgiving and trusting of others) [I took the vaccine and don't take Ivermectin]. Those are just examples.
The best melatonin pills would be both chewable and small dosage, but unfortunately they are hard to find. I suspect manufacturers have a hard time selling smaller doses because people think they’re getting a superior product with larger doses.

Personally I settled for a 500mcg chewable dose that I split in half with a pill splitter.

I hear this line of reasoning constantly from people who have had the system work for them. What they don't realize is that there is a huge portion of this country where the system is not working and thats where this discontent is coming from.

Their misinformation campaigns wouldn't work if there weren't real core issues with the society. The internet has empowered a generation the sees whats behind the curtain.

AOC said it best: Millennials have seen a situation where 9/11 happened in Middle School, the GFC happened in college and now the covid disaster has screwed hoards of millennials once again when they are trying to purchase a home and get on their feet. Majority of millennials have never seen a time of economic prosperity in their lifetimes. It is the complete opposite to what their parents experienced. With this reality is it any wonder where there is massive discontent that results in this division? The system has failed them.
I might be confused, but was the below article just false? If so you should probably ask them to put a correction on it.

https://www.computerworld.com/article/3284076/brave-browser-...

These seem pretty cut-and-dry, but if they are false they should definitely retract.

> We're the only user-first, private browser with opt-in revenue sharing.

I personally don't want revenue sharing - I just want the first browser that is user-first and private. The issue with me being advertised to isnt that I want a cut of the revenue, it's that I don't want to be advertised to. That's the whole point of my post - if you need revenue just charge me for it. Why can't we just have a search company that will just let me pay them money in a straightforward 1950's-style transaction.

All I'm saying is - Please don't try to beat Google Search at being Google Search with the same ads-in-search model - you have such a great opportunity, and clearly the experience, to do something different! I personally hope you choose a different path that allows you to have a better ad-free product. Maybe you will succeed going down the ad-route, but I personally want a different option to having my results stuffed with ads, rather than just a new (either better or worse) Google.

As soon as you do a paid version of search I'll be a subscriber, as long as there is a guarantee that it is privacy-preserving, will never have ads, is a sensible price and isn't linked to some weird crypto stuff.
I side with Kik messenger and npm immediately. I don't agree with lots of IP law, but Trademarks are different. Trademarks are an important consumer protection.
Sorry for the half reply (I cannot check it physically right now): if you search for "BT keyboard with slot" in the images section of a search engine (DDG), a few similar to mine will come out: I have the one with the mousepad in the bottom-right corner. I believe that the manufacturers distribute the product for different brands (so, for example, I see "Hot-sale-keyboard-bluetooth-touchpad" on Alibaba, or a "Texet Bluetooth Keyboard Touchpad BTK SLOT").

BTW: battery life is never a problem. The rare events in which I find myself with the red light blinking, I just hook up a portable power bank.
The Applecare Hustle
I use Emacs for prose, mostly screenwriting.
Someone had squatters after working 3 months outside the country. He basically had zero rights to throw them out, and the law considered him as a sort of landlord for non-paying tenants, with all relevant responsibilities. As his and their legal address where now identical, he was partially responsible/paying for their healthcare.

But the law allowed him, as a good landlord, to work on the outside of the house, for the good of his tenants. So he did.

He installed security cameras, and reported every minor infraction of the squatters to the police. The police loved it, and duly did everything. Oh look, a cm of your wheel is parked outside the allowed boundary. That's a ticket. Of course he duly tested the very loud alarm every evening, to make sure it works.

He did a paint job, first removing the old paint with the noisiest dustiest old tools he could find, then painting it in an old ugly pink he found on a flea market somewhere. Then decided the quality wasn't good and removed the paint again. One day, the squatters had enough and actually went to a court to demand he let their poor baby sleep. Judge just laughed, and told them all work happened before 22:00 so he was in his right.

Squatters ran away after a few months, which supposedly is a happy outcome, at least compared to what the law could do for him.
Great point. Few articles talk about this and other similar issues.
