Maybe the issue is people getting off their butts and making some coffee. We're turning into a species that's so fat and lazy that we don't even want to go to the store anymore to get our empty calories.

Maybe on paper silent drone deliveries are a great idea for people who can't get out of their homes but even then what we're doing is removing yet another chance for them to interact directly with another human being.

So I dunno. What actually is a positive use for drone delivery?

> inappropriately named

How else should it be named? A "register" or "registry" basically means nothing more than a big book where stuff is written down -- registered. Then later, you can go to the King's scribe, he'll look in his big ledger, and testify that yes, you came before him and had him register your Marque Of Tradhe back in October 1496, and if the other guy can't point to an older entry in his name, you win.

Having herolds in town squares across the realm announce your entry on the second Market Sunday after it was entered -- i.e, announcing it on a mailing list -- is already going above and beyond mere registration.
I see, interesting, thank you for clarifying.
I really like a lot of the stuff mentioned in this article. Specifically I have frequently mentioned the desire for better sandboxing and in particular a user-initiated permission model[0], universal scriptability[1,4], arbitrary AV routing[1,6], and similar ideas for legacy compatibility [1,7].

I've been aware of Arcan for a while but haven't taken the time to play with it yet. Maybe I should.

I setup a firewall rule in openwrt that said anything coming over USB needed to set the TTL to 65 so it looked like the data was coming from the phone itself and not from the tether.

IIRC, on the plan I was using on Cricket, I would get unlimited data + 15GB of tether. This just byapssed that limit.

I think they can almost figure it out because if I tried to tether without the TTL trick, data wouldn't work. So I'm guessing it still counted the data I was using against some kind of cap?

Given the reasonable namespacing that C++ and python [modules] provide, and that you have to export the complete calling specification of the function to the caller anyway (whether it's an enum, a positional boolean or a keyword argument), what's the drawback of the enum option?

Fascinating, the second image attached to https://twitter.com/FedeItaliano76/status/143532682797161267... is good too -- I'm not settled in that confirming the second hypothesis (surface use), as the Twitter user says, it seems to me to also give stronger weight to the first (under water use).

In this image the 'goatskin' users appear fully clothed in dresses (could they be scale armour or other weighted clothing), only one has a beard. A person without a goatskin appears "above" them (could be behind depending on perspective) and IMO appears to be getting shot with arrows. The "divers" aren't wearing onion-shaped helmets. The goatskins appear to be fixed to the belts on their waists.

One could interpret this as showing underwater swimming to avoid archers.

Perhaps it was an idea, rather than a practiced activity? Maybe the goatskin has rocks in it too, to balance buoyancy? Perhaps the carrying a rock bit was not shown for fear of letting enemies in on the idea!?!

[But yes, more probably a floatation device; fun to speculate though. Would particularly be interested to look at perspective in Assyrian bas reliefs]

Really interesting, would love to hear some Assyrian historians debate this.
What is the relevance of sailing upwind to the doldrums (where there was little wind) or to trade winds (which reasonably consistently blew in the same direction as the trade)?

Even the article you linked suggested that early modern sailors would change to a square rigging once they got out of the changing winds of the Mediterranean. So clearly there were some advantages to square rigs (perhaps they could be made larger than triangular or gaff rigs with technology of the time.) And it would likely be foolish to plan a route to beat up a trade wind even if you could sail close to it, as you would likely be much slower than following the winds.

On contemporary boats, it seems that Bermudan rigs win as they can sail close to the wind and can also be large. But most people who go sailing today are not taking large ships across oceans so their requirements as well as their technology will be different.
Thanks for giving us a concrete in-thread example of a person claiming the script interpreter is turing complete.

The claim you're making regarding "two stacks" is technobabble initially created by Wright which was clearly discredited many years ago, e.g.

In Bitcoin script the additional stack doesn't increase its computational power at all: Ignoring the operation count limits, any script using the altstack can be converted with the addition of some extra stack manipulation operations to one that doesn't use it at all.

Maybe 25-50%, or so?

The $65M denominator on that percentage is also very low compared to typical industries, so the combination of low percentage and low denominator sticks out. Though I tend to credit tech for not lobbying a ton, unilateral disarmament is not always viewed positively.

Also, the only reason this editorial/article is being written at all is that tech is viewed as "friendly" and amenable to persuasion.

Though I do find it offensive that the tech companies are members of the Chamber of Commerce without refuting the Chamber's bad actions. That would be free! In fact, that's probably the biggest red flag for me in the article.

It is not anti-business to support climate action, quite the opposite. Yet somehow the Chamber pushes forward ridiculous and outdated politics that will harm most business in the end, while only benefitting fossil fuel companies and investors.

Tech really needs to stand up to bad organizations, or drop their membership. Their membership is a political action that is in direct contradiction to their stated goals.

Yes, ~80% of Americans live in "urban" areas, but the majority of those living in "urban" are living in "suburban" areas if you actually look closely. For most classifications its simply either urban or rural, not urban/suburban/rural.
Yeah, −60 for lacking Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options and X-XSS-Protection is grossly excessive. As is declaring XFO “mandatory for all new websites, and all existing websites are expected to add support for [it] as soon as possible” <https://infosec.mozilla.org/guidelines/web_security#x-frame-...>. XFO is entirely unnecessary for stateless and actionless websites, CSP of no value on static sites that load no third-party resources, and the rest of them of no value on static sites. You could say they protect against man-in-the-middle attacks or attacks on your static file server (nginx or equivalent), but any competent MITM will modify headers, and with attacks on the static file server you’re hosed anyway. I also think they should significantly downgrade at least XFO (they last touched that descriptive document I quoted over three years ago), because the browsers that want it are all now obsolete (IE11 being the only one that’s even vaguely still in use) and entirely unsupported by many systems.

I get 40⁄100, D⁺, because of this stuff, and I have not the slightest intention of changing it because I’m stubborn and know that I don’t need them. Well, it’s better than the 0⁄100 it gave me at the start of 2019, or the 20⁄100 back in 2016.

It needs some sort of profile system for the rankings, so that you can say “anything”, “static site”, “static site with no third-party resources”, that sort of thing, and in the lattermost case have it say “OK, then we’ll just suggest CSP, XCTO, XFO and XXP rather than screaming about them”.

Not regularly and only very shallow so my recall of the details isn’t great. But I do recall asking about even slower breathing and the response was it extracted more oxygen but wasn’t recommended due to the risks of disorientation. I think the 2x was in relation to failing to do slow deep breathing though.

As a sanity check 6l of air per minute x 5minutes is 30l which is about the size of your torso. Assuming that bag started that size and got completely emptied it’s about right. The volume would decrease rapidly with depth but the available oxygen per breath would increase to compensate.

Unless you have something specific to correct?

> If you blur enough, every pixel is the same color, which obviously has destroyed all information.

Not true. The ASCII art people have sorted characters by their “shade”; if you know the foreground and background colour of a letter, and you know the single colour of pixel it blurs to, you can still work out what the letter was.

Blurring discards some information and obfuscates other information, but really, given how easy it is to reverse-engineer such things, we should measure the number of bits of information remaining.

If information in image + information about image > bits of information in sensitive data, then in theory you can recover the data.

So simply deleting the data from the image (e.g. blacking it out, removing reflections) is preferable. Saves you a lot of effort!
I don't understand what the endgame of a locking down a country is, unless there is some better vaccine or treatment coming.

As far as I know, COVID isn't going to stop spreading around the rest of the world. So as soon as the lockdown in a given country ends, that country will be exposed to it and face the same pandemic they would have faced in the first place. Now, that makes a lot of sense to me if they are facing it with a new tool in hand (like the vaccine), that means a lot fewer people will die than if they'd gone through it with nothing.

But if there is no better treatment coming, what does locking down for 3 months, 6 months, or a year accomplish?

No, this does sound relevant. I just googled "4eak" and found https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/4eak and https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P54645, and then from there learned about AMPK, which looks very interesting. Thanks very much for this reference, I'll definitely take a look.

Also, I find I honestly kinda resonate with https://philosopher.life. I find writing an slow and arduous process, though (related kinda-interesting relevant subthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27112463 - the 4 comments represent the specific reference, while reading further athread (up-thread?) is likely useful for context).

For me, writing is a bit like putting a train on a multi-track rollercoaster ride and then finding all the carriages on different tracks at the end ("Noooo, that carriage is upside down and all the passengers fell out.") Now I think about it a good visual analogy would be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcXiwNjkhxU&t=95s.

I think my brain has a few wiring bottlenecks in it somewhere, meaning I can only fit a certain amount of semantic value into my immediate focus, and much less than I know I should be able to. So, for example, if I'm listening to a piece of music in my head and want to actually switch to the track I'm thinking of, I basically get one shot to go "is this it", since whatever my ears hear next will immediately cancel out my memory of whatever pops into my head, even if I pause it. This seems to be a generalized extreme short-term memory problem; if I think of X, and then get a flash of insight on how it relates to Y, I'll immediately a) forgot X, and b) be incapable of deriving insight from the intersection between the two. I find I seem to be most appreciative of the contrasts between things, so this memory breakdown is extremely annoying.

And all this makes summarizing and writing tricky. I'd love to do more of it, but... welp. And so, it's kinda weird, but cool weird, to be reading the kinds of things on philosopher.life that I could see myself writing if a few settings on the character sheet were upped to 11 (particularly the above, which are at like 0.1 or 0.2) :). I particularly resonate with the existentiality, and the sense of incompleteness - in the non-exceptional sense, like I don't just mean "oh yeah I kinda see like 0.2% of myself in this haha", I can see these themes throughout almost everything, from the content to the writing style, and it is duly noted. Kind of cool that you've put that amount of effort in actually...

Thanks again.

The same way people underestimate their caloric intake, I think unfortunately a lot of fitness apps and equipment overestimate calories burned. A recent 1 hr peloton class I did said said I burned a little over 1,200 calories. It was nearly 300 more than my Whoop band said I lost. I think both numbers were higher than what I actually did.
This is a really nice idea.

I believe that living this way you develop sense of risk. You know the world in more details, because you bumped into it.

It seemed like it, but wasn't clear. It said,

He ditched his heavily processed low-calorie products and focused on the quality of his food rather than quantity.

It also mentioned that he at a lot of "low-fat" foods. So, my guess is that his carb intake was pretty high. This is exactly why "calories in, calories out" isn't accurate. Your balance of macronutrients is much more important, but total caloric intake still needs to be monitored.
I'd agree with that. A 3 hour bike ride in a moderately hilly area burns about 2000 calories, and that's a considerable number to bank. My lowest weight --and counting calories ruthlessly-- was when I was running regularly, even at just 2 or so miles, until my knee started giving me trouble.

At an individual level, one could be a good husband and father and be non-monogamous. At an individual level, one could also be a good monogamous husband and father. I agree with you there, although I think the expectations for most (but not all) people in western nations is that their wife/husband will be "faithful" in the traditional sense. If most wives expect most husbands to be monogomous, it starts to look like the _average_ person who is "unfaithful" is a "bad" husband by definition of the wife (even if they care deeply for their wife and any children). This also suffers from the network effect that even if the wife is ok with non-monogamy, family and friends could still shame her into being negatively effected by any non-monogamous actions in the marriage.

At a population level, it's hardly even up for debate that humans are not monogamous. This has been researched ad nauseum, although I am too lazy at the moment to dig up the research at the moment.
