Edit: A different Bachelors besides those two are incredibly rare in Germany. For full universities (not universities of applied science) doubly so.

Out of curiosity - not defending the behavior - what kind of problems could omitting EDNS cause? What is the steelman case for Archive.is here?

The author says Archive.is's claim that it causes problems is "questionable", but he doesn't mention what those purported problems are or address why they're illegitimate, so it's hard to evaluate whether that's accurate.
Given the date of the post, the content and that it happened with delay, I am quite sure his friends who disagreed with him politically reported it as a spam.

Perhaps after certain number of people report it, it automatically will be marked as one (such logic would be more reliable on FB, than for example reddit or HN, since most FB users have a single profile tied using their real name)
Things AWS solves for me that I've always wanted to have solved:

* Database administration

* Security best practices by default

* Updated infrastructure

* Automatic load balancing

* Trivial credentials management

* 2FA for all infra administration

* Container image repositories

* Distributed file systems

I was and old-school bare-metal UNIX systems admin 15 years ago. Each of those things, in medium to large companies, would take a full-time sysadmin to keep it all up to date.
Jerrymandering has significant popular support, it’s just that it’s one-sided. In a two-party system, it’s incredibly easy to maintain that support. Just look at voter suppression, it’s as one-sided as possible, yet gaining a lot of ground in a lot of states.

The problem with that argument is that it's disingenuous.

Sure, unvaccinated workers could spread the virus, but so can vaccinated workers. "It's less likely!" How much so? Where do we draw the line? Also, unvaccinated workers are more likely to know they are sick and stay home, which could very well make it less likely that they spread the virus. There are too many variables.

Also, there are many cases where the liberty of others is only taken into account if it is proven that someone's actions affected others. If an action that someone takes does not affect others in an appreciable way, we tend to ignore it. Say, for example, if someone buys almost all of an item from a store, preventing others from doing so. Or banks lending out more money than they have. Or a parent getting distracted by kids while driving.

In all of those cases, we ignore the potential that doing those things may infringe on others' rights, such as the parent causing an accident or the bank being unable to cover all of the withdrawals they have one day because inflation is rising, which causes a run on the bank.

So why don't we do that here? Why is it so important to prevent something that might happen rather than being okay with fixing what does happen?

Say that some people at a hospital get sick of COVID. The hospital has both vaccinated and unvaccinated workers. The hospital decides that it's going to hold the unvaccinated workers responsible for it. The workers complain and ask for proof they were responsible. So the hospital tests everyone, and the only people with COVID at the time were vaccinated. What does the hospital do then?

tl;dr: Personal liberty does end where another's begins, but what people forget is that the victim needs to prove that their rights were infringed before they get relief.
You mean as opposed to the last 20 years where it wasn't the standard? That ship has sailed. If Linux wants to stay relevant to end users (particularly gamers), it needs to be accessible. Proton makes gaming on Linux accessible, regardless of what the Linux purists may prefer.

I'd be using Linux full-time if I knew all the games I played would work on Linux. They don't, so I end up using Windows way more than I'd like. Proton is the only way out of that.

The pandemic hasn't denied "us" anything... governments have mandated it, in many cases without scientific evidence, or in many others, in direct contradiction to it. Things cancelled in the wake of 9/11 were done organically, by the organizers, mostly out of respect, not because the government twisted their arm.
There's actually no such thing as "misinformation". It's a completely made up concept. There's just information. a la: "Look, this person said this. Here's another person, who said something else." All of this is just regular old information.

In publishing, editorial makes some amount of sense because the brand of the publisher is staked behind the claims being made. But in social media, it's the personal(/account) brand that is staked behind the claim, not that of the social media company. For example, ISIS doesn't get an editorial column in the NYT. But they can have their own page on FB & Twitter.

These companies are existing in a magical reality where they are able to exercise complete control over what can and can't be said, and garner no liability for when they use that power to promote falsehoods and stifle the truth.

Our client uses Teams, we use Teams, and we communicate with each other using the original Skype for Business federation we had when we both used Skype for Business. All because my employer somehow doesn't support Teams federation (there are Teams groups with guest accounts, but that isn't the same because it requires you to switch context).
It doesn't bring transmission to zero, but it significantly reduces it. It also sharply reduces the chance of infection, the severity of symptoms if infection does occur, and the chance of hospitalization or death.

The problem isn't really EDNS. And someone is either lying or very incorrect.

This should be resolvable. The two sides don't want incompatible things. Has there been zero progress since?
If the point is responding to "there is no corollary law everywhere else forcing people to get abortions", a statement that doesn't mention abortion doesn't quite suffice.

Apparently there's a place, California, where health-insurance-buyers (so, ideally, everyone, and presumably all Salesforce employees) all unavoidably fund abortions, this arrangement of things being upheld by force of law.

> Consider if they’d written: “California forces people buying health insurance to pay for insulin.” That sounds silly.

Doesn't sound silly to me. If you're against insulin, then you have grounds to object against California's laws.

"It’s technically true"

So it's true. Will you bite the bullet with regard to the equivalent statement about abortion? Sure, it's an indirect arrangement of things. See my revised, hedged formulation above.

A bare metal Postgres install needs optimization, and a working backup and restore plan (you did test your backups, right?).

That's half a day of work lost to get your system set up.

Now your app keeps serious data and you want a read replica. How long does that take?

Now you need a separate development environment. Here you go again, adding a few hours of work.

Then you need to update your database version. Gotta read the changelog and make sure you did everything right, and do it in a reaonsable change window.

You just racked up several day's worth of work, and for a DB instance with a similar amount of infra work done, the RDS solution is way cheaper and easier to provision.

If your time is worth money, there's no reason to go bare metal.
Yes they basically say "it collapsed because the fire was hot and caused a critical column to collapse". It's a childish level of explanation, not rigorous and scientific. It says nothing about how such a thing could occur. I've studied mathematics, physics, engineering at university up to Bachelors level and to me this is a very amateurish childish level of analysis. The report is fluffed up with many pages of serious important looking official boilerplate, surrounding this one paragraph that basically says nothing. It's a tautology. No rigorous analysis in this report. That in itself is extremely curious to me.
Inaccurate.

This is a overused misnomer. Correlation is a necessary precursor to causation, but it's existence does not guarantee causation.

If correlation is established it doesn't automatically establish causation as well, but it functions as evidence for two possibilities:

The possibility of causation and the possibility of a shared causative source.

It is wrong to say they are not equal. They are equal in a really fuzzy way.
Archive.is uses ECS (edns client subnet, which sends the client IP's /24 to the authoritative resolver) for geo-based load balancing. The problem is that all IPs in a /24 are highly likely to belong to the same city for residential connections, so plugging it into a geoip service is likely to show the actual city & state that a request originates from (the entire point of ECS).

This comes as a surprise to me! I thought none of Whitney's Ks had closures—although I did neglect to mention that kuc and oK add them. Digging around and asking on the K Matrix/Discord I found some posts that suggest that the K3 form is very limited. My read of these is that functions can refer to variables in the immediately surrounding scope (only one level up), and their values will be copied in when the function is reached in the source code. So it would be equivalent to adding extra arguments to g and passing the variable values in that way. And it wouldn't allow the programmer to create object-like things and couldn't create reference loops requiring garbage collection.

The issue with encrypted email a-la PGP even beyond security issues is the laughably bad UX. I'm not going to be able to convince people to adopt the best practices involved in maintaining keys and using them to encrypt and decrypt the mail they send. Whether that is good or bad is immaterial- the cat is out of the bag and people are already used to the convenience of insecure incumbents.

For messaging, we need something that is end to end encrypted by default, and is also only available in an e2ee format. Decentralization is an additional bonus, but really as long as the protocols are heavily audited and the clients are reasonably open (reproducible builds etc), it doesn't matter what your choice is and what networks your messages go through/who controls them.
"Common sense" isn't that common. Do you also acknowledge the perverse incentives of government bureaucrats to promote their story?

Well maybe the big powerful corporation should be up front about what it moderates and what it doesn't, and changes in policy as it learns. Then abide by and reference that.

That way people can understand why their post was removed without having to speculate.

Maybe filtering changes should be rolled out slowly at first, with every customer complaint analyzed, to catch these bugs you speak of before they are widespread, frustrating and look obviously suspicious.

Maybe the big powerful corporation should hire staff in proportion to their mistakes, instead of blaming a pandemic for its record profits, er ..., I mean lack of interest in finding ethical solutions to problems.

Maybe if the company made good faith explanations of mistakes, and actually fixed them, instead of letting them fester, or continually playing hide and seek with information, speculation would not be necessity.

Your attitude about your company's customers is equally disappointing.

Did we read the same article? Cloudflare is treating them, and anybody else that makes the same choices wrt EDNS, differently from the rest of the Internet.
If I were to make this study I would pick a list of ten things that women report as "bad treatments", verify how does each society/country do in those areas based on available statistical data or even surveys, and correlate with wealth of that society. Obviously there is the possibility that some of these metrics correlate negatively or even do not correlate with society's wealth, but an ethical study should report all findings.
> This list also overlooks other very popular games that aren’t on Steam

Well yes, it is, as the title makes pretty clear, the top 50 games on Steam. That said, non-Steam games can work just fine with Proton, wrappers like Lutris make this only a couple clicks more than Steam.

Fortnite is limited by EAC: https://lutris.net/games/fortnite/, and I'm not very familiar with Warzone but I suspect it's a similar situation.

I was on my way to work just north of the Chicago loop, when I met a few guys on the subway from a financial firm who said they were told to leave work and go home because an airplane hit one of the twin towers in New York City.

Airplanes had hit buildings before, as sometimes pilots do stupid things, it wasn't unheard of for a Cessna to have an ooops into a sky scraper.

So, it was confusing, but I wasn't really worried.

'China' point is definitely fair, but they're nowhere near becoming rich in a GDP/capita basis.

China is poorer than Mexico on a nominal and PPP basis.

Poorer than Brazil on a nominal basis.

They're going to have difficulty closing in on Chile, Latvia and Poland there. [1]

On a PPP basis, it's much harder to fathom - they definitely have access to 'cheap goods' so of course their PPP basis is considerably higher, at the same time the quality of most things is very bad, the air is unbreathable in many places, outside major city centres services are problematic and civic dysfunction is still rife.

So the that PPP calculation is tricky, and we know it's also leverage for Brazil just as well.

But also note China does have serious economic 'leaders' that those other countries do not, and, China might treat ethnic and gay minorities poorly, but for women it's not the same. DiDi CEO is a female, and female leadership is normal there.

Well, you've got a problem, then. You don't get rights just for being born. You only get rights within the context of a society that has agreed to respect those rights.

Consider this: if you have rights simply because you are human, then there must be something different about humans that gives them those rights, which chimps and bonobos don't have. What is that?
