> I get the feeling it will end badly.

Yes, it will. When people get shoved into tiny homes with their parents and children and have zero hope for any future on their own, you will see the people say enough is enough. They will march. They will protest. They will vote. They will clean house.
I read that blog series and it makes a decent case that there is some environmental contaminant that matters (or a combination of several), but it can't be the whole story because things like gastric bypass definitely work. Also just from observing obese people eat it is clear that few of them eat in a way conducive to weight loss. Perhaps some environmental contaminant causes them to crave calorically dense, non-satiating foods, but that seems doubtful to me.

Edit: The other thing I noticed when reading the series was that the author had a habit of discounting anything that refuted his thesis (calling it a minor effect and so forth), while giving greater credibility to similarly weak evidence for his theory.
I like the UI.
I'd argue its not censorship. If I don't pick up your call because I don't recognize the number, or my phone is on silent, is that censorship? Lacking an agenda or a message I'd hesitate to call anything censorship.

Like, without a censor actually redacting things or controlling the conversation, can it really be called censorship?
Censorship has strong connotations of authoritarian regimes with political motivations. When they're doing it in peacetime with (I believe) a genuine goal to benefit the user by removing spam messages or by making abbreviated URLs like 'spot.xyz' clickable (even if that parser is broken, written by someone who only expected .com/.net/.org), it's just called parsing.

In much the same way, propaganda is just advertising with negative connotations, and a cult is just a religion with negative connotations. Calling all advertising propaganda or all religious people cultists is not likely to win people to your cause.
Which is better depends on if your threat model is them targeting you specifically and then looking for pretexts or them deciding they want to target you specifically when looking through the contents of the dragnet.
"One person, one vote" is not semantics.
I have similar issues with my two main emails, which end with `.app` and `.sexy`. Both of these work fine, but validation will fail a lot of time (particularly for `.sexy`, but even for `.app`), forcing me to defer back to an unwieldy .com that I own.
There's no "other immune system" involved. With RNA viruses in particular there's a long phase where infected cells are pumping out viral debris rather than correctly packaged and infectious virions. With severely ill people the cells pumping out viral debris late in the disease cause the same immune response to those proteins just like "live" virus. They aren't infectious though.

This is why a long time ago back in like April 2020 there were reports of "lingering infections" up to 90 days long in South Korea when measured by RT-PCR at high cycle thresholds.

This is probably why Christiano Ronaldo was testing positive for COVID long after he was recovered and (in)famously called PCR testing "bullshit".

With breakthrough infections it is also seen that while the Ct values are comparable between breakthrough infections and unvaccinated infections, the breakthrough infections have less culturable virus and decline faster -- the PCR machine is reading more viral debris.

Also, this is why the whole issue of hospitalized patients being moved back into nursing homes in NYC early in the pandemic is non-issue since they weren't infectious (and the peak in nursing home deaths occurred before the peak in returning patients to nursing homes). Cuomo is still a sexually harassing asshole though.

There's theories that some long COVID cases might be due to lingering viral debris being pumped out by cells, and might be why some vaccine recipients feel relief from symptoms. Although I think its looking more like long-COVID/PASC has more to with autoantibodies.
That's what you have in Russia, operators are obliged to collect and store vast amounts of data under the SORM laws, and then bellingcat were able to access all this data in their investigations, that's how they got the location trail of the agents that shaddowed and poisened Navalny (and others). Bellingcat got all that data from a black market on data, where low profile employees are selling access to all this gathered data for a couple of dimes, see [3]. I wonder if a similar black data market is already in place in other countries...

I use a trained neural network I keep between my ears...

Recall is sometimes fuzzy with age, but it works well enough, and I don't have to worry about external queries violating my various rights nearly as much as with tech companies.

At this point, I think every piece of modern consumer electronics ought to be considered hostile until proven benign. I've worked with enough of them over the years, on different ends, to no longer trust any of them.

I'm also old enough to remember the before-times - when there wasn't the technology to track us everywhere, or, when we did have something breadcrumbing, it wasn't being automatically uploaded to whoever, wherever, etc.

My first question, though, would be "Why?" What value do you get out of tracking your location with any great detail that self hosting it would be of much value? However, various cheap GPS loggers and Google Earth import probably would do a lot of what you're looking for.
You wonder why there is any filtering on sms ...
Yeah, of course. How would it be possible to have censorship at all if "so many" people didn't tolerate it?
Unrelated, that one was developed entirely by apple

Why the fuck would you not want to minimize your tax via legal methods?! Your bank literally advises you to do this. Insanity.
I don't remember the specifics, but there were a lot of different packet types (eg UDP not just TCP) and protocols that ExpressVPN used to negotiate and transfer data. I'm sure there was quite a bit of cat-mouse, but I also assumed that there might be a symbiotic (or more) connection between Chinese security and ExpressVPN. I just wanted things to work, and didn't care so much about the actual "privacy" of the tunnel.
FoxyProxy supports IPSec and OpenVPN.
...whoa, yeah same here. tried "test spot.xyz" then "test spot.com" T-mobile <-> T-Mobile. "test spot.xyz" did not send. Even weirder, I got a confirmmation that it was delivered.

It looks like T-Mobile looks for ".xyz" within the SMS and will silent drop the SMS (though it will claim it is delivered). ".xxyz" works, "..xyz" or ".xyzz" does not. "xyz" works, so does ".xy".
This is really refreshing work, and we can all benefit from other search engines focused on improving the field. I tried a bunch of searches and some of them were quite wonderful, others were a little dry on results. But overall I enjoyed going through it. Here is some critiques if you don't mind:

I did search for "Daria Bilodid" and the results were a bit troublesome. First the Wikipedia result did not work:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daria_Bilodid vs
https://encyclopedia.marginalia.nu/wiki/Daria_Bilodid

Secondly the results matched a few judoinside.com results which is ok, including sites to her competitors, but seemed to miss the judoinside website for her: https://www.judoinside.com/judoka/92660/Daria_Bilodid.

The design is hard on my eyes, I have a average size screen and its using less than half of the width. The line-height is enormous and seems to breakup flow making it uncomfortable for me to read. The spacing around each result is the same as between titles and paragraph items, which again was unpleasant to read.
Maybe try adding a letter to who you are contacting, FBI, to see if it would get the response you are hoping.

>> This sort of optimization is why simple recipes are typically found at the end of a rambling pointless blog post now.

I continue to be curious about this kind of complaint. If all you want is a recipe list, without any of the fluff, why would you click on a link to a blog, rather than on a link to a recipe aggregator?

Foodie blogs exist specifically for the people who want a foodie discussion and not just an ingredients' list.

Is it because blogs tend to have better recipes overall? In that case, isn't there a bit of entitlement involved in asking that the author self-sacrificingly provides only the information that you want, without taking care of their own needs and wants, also?
Thanks for the clarification dang, just get frustrated sometimes. Will keep an eye out in the future.
Well, no. Developers choose when & how each image on the page is loaded.
I am claiming that Web === ChromeOS, when Google is done with Firefox, while Apple keeps focusing on native apps.
I have been exclusively using a .so domain for about 10 years and never experienced any of these issues.

What specific network blocks it?
Blocking of messages/emails and blanket email server/domain/extension blacklisting is the same as a postal service not delivering mail to or from a particular entity/street/town.

Doing so silently and without a valid and case-specific reason should not be legally allowed.

Edit: Added "street/town" to analogy, and "case-specific" before reason
The stinky butter guys? Pass.
This is a really old concept with interpreted languages, Capistrano in Ruby came out in 2006 for this sort of workflow:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capistrano_(software)

10 year old gist for this exact thing:

https://gist.github.com/rchampourlier/1281506/a22148264c457ebb69259261f117548569be6bef

Same exists in Node, using PM2 process monitor via rsync/ssh:

Run a command, new code is pushed to server files, you have a file-watcher daemon monitoring the directory and stopping + restarting the app, or you run stop/start as part of the deploy command.

pretty certain that study is mostly fit for toilet paper.
If one could create an metric of ad to content ratio from the js used, I would guess that would be a nice differentiator too.

I can't find it now, but I read an article about the Capitol riot that said the FBI was actively looking for individuals whose phones followed the pattern you describe. Traveling towards the Capitol on Jan 6, going dark, later coming back online is perhaps an indicator the person didn't want to be observed at the Capitol. Likewise, traveling to D.C., and leaving the phone at the hotel all day, then moving in the evening was an indicator the person may have been at the Capitol.

I bring this up to say, Faraday cage and leaving the phone behind may not even be enough with a sufficiently large surveillance state.

Edit: leaving the phone at home is different than a hotel, of course. But even that might raise too much suspicion unless you frequently, and randomly, leave it at home. That way the lack of movement wouldn't necessarily indicate you didn't want to be tracked at a particular moment.

> I also remember having a habit of keeping mobile data off during the 3G days. Guess it's not feasible anymore.

The biggest problem I've found lately with cell data off is that group texting breaks in weird ways. Most group texting is apparently MMS based, which is "Here's a text telling the phone to go download something from somewhere." If you've got data off, those end up queued weirdly, and can make group messages appear radically out of order when you get a data connection again.

Group texting is hard when you get into the weeds of it.

When everybody has a software blog, then the average quality goes down. Sure, there are still some that are as good as they were in "the good old days", but finding them in the blizzard of mediocre-or-worse is a chore.

Maybe HN is the perfect place to create a curated (or at least vouched-for-by-at-least-someone-here) list of quality software blogs? Anyone with high-quality favorites they want to share?
Not true everywhere in the US, this sort of thing is regulated at the state level.

Where I live, a homeowner is allowed to do their own electrical work. Must be permitted and inspected, though. When I've done big projects in the past, I've asked the inspector out at the start to ask for their advice -- gotten really good info that way.
The Google results tell you why Ivermectin is not a good replacement for vaccination against Covid, the Marginalia results tell you that Ivermectin is a miracle drug for treating Covid 19. Really shows how much technology has the power to change reality in today's world.
Cops don't care about the privacy laws which already exist. (See: parallel construction.) If we had better privacy laws, they would just get sneakier.

50% lower tail latency for web search is a hell of a result to be buried so deep in an obscure paper.
One use case to always test: "online wishlist" or "make a wishlist". If you start seeing tools like https://www.DreamList.com or others, you are on the right path. If you start seeing random web pages linking to individual wish lists, then people are likely not able to find tools on your search engine.
The above comment doesn't really come down to speculation though. It really just depends how much of that BTC they turned into cash to buy infrastructure or pay people. Considering that it is logistically easier to do this with just money rather than exchanging, then it isn't unlikely that they maintained a fair amount of that BTC, and thus the "they probably have a bunch of money" conclusion.

I'm not sure why FOMO has to do with any of this. Your logic also just doesn't make sense when talking about any investment. If the market value goes up and you continue to hold then you can sell it for more than you bought it for. No one is talking about regret here except you. All investing is speculative. That's the nature of investing.
At the risk of making a No True Scotsman argument...

Can someone deriving income from such a business model, while other options are almost certainly available to them, NOT be considered morally corrupt?
Don't try to change the subject. My comment is not about facebook, censorship, corporate-run dystopias, or thought-crime exile.

Move the goalposts all you want but the fact is that all opinions are not equal in merit.

If you do actually want to have a good-faith discussion about how to limit the reach of worse opinions while increasing the reach of better opinions I would be happy to hear your suggestions.

Or if you would prefer to discuss how to find agreement on what we consider a "good" or a "bad" opinion, I would start by offering that I think the opinion "face masks do not prevent the spread of airborne respiratory infections" should be considered significantly less reasonable than the opinion "face masks are effective at preventing the spread of airborne respiratory infection".
From Deep Mind wikipedia

"Major venture capital firms Horizons Ventures and Founders Fund invested in the company,[18] as well as entrepreneurs Scott Banister,[19] Peter Thiel,[20] and Elon Musk.[21] Jaan Tallinn was an early investor and an adviser to the company.[22] On 26 January 2014, Google announced the company had acquired DeepMind for $500 million,[23][24][25][26][27][28] and that it had agreed to take over DeepMind Technologies. The sale to Google took place after Facebook reportedly ended negotiations with DeepMind Technologies in 2013"
What problem does this solve, as opposed to a git repositories?

To me, declarative infrastructure management is incredibly important in order to reason about a deployment. Even though under the hood, yes, everything is stateful, it’s something I want abstracted away, not as a primary way of interacting with my infrastructure.

I guess what I’m asking is what the canonical use case / target user of this is.
I posted the story on a sibling comment. It's not as exciting as all that.

Overall it was a net positive experience, really. It led me to perform a personal Disaster Recovery exercise where I modeled losing my Google account, which was very interesting and informed a significant shift in my online behavior. If it ever happens, it'll be a bother, but not much more than that.
Speaking as an American who emigrated to a Nordic country, when I go back to visit I feel like I'm leaving a more civilized land for a less civilized land. The feeling largely comes from how harshly the US government treats its citizens, and how that harshness is an expression of public will. As but one example, in any forum discussing any infamous man on trial, and there is inevitably a significant number of people talking about how excited they are for him to be anally raped. Prison as a concept is an opportunity for average American to indulge their inner sadist.

Related, no matter how well a company is paid to deliver services to the public, those services are inevitably sub-par, and expected to be so. Whether prisons, schools, public utilities, welfare, public transportation, medical care: if it's paid for by taxes, it's gotta be shitty.

I don't like the response article, either. It's written in that grating, self-righteous tone of the smug moral scold. This is a person who is not actually helping, but helping himself build a reputation for helping, by moral screeching and bullying.

At least the original essay was honest.
I was pretty excited when ICANN opened up a bunch of new domain extensions, but it does sometimes feel like "all these extensions are great if you don't plan on using them".

It was pretty cool that I managed to buy a bunch of domains like <my last name>.<new-tld>, but to be honest I really don't see myself using my .blackfriday domain for anything. For that matter, I think that (somewhat ironically) `my-last-name.email` would not be taken very seriously for a primary email address.

I use a `.app` domain for my personal email, which has its issues, but if I owned a business, there is no way on earth that I would be using anything but .com.
It is Discourse, hosted by a company called "Bubble". Just do a "view source".
Legally, I'm not sure.

Morally, absolutely. The Sacklers cannot be allowed to walk away with billions AND immunity from future suits.
Where does it say any of that? What distortion? These are reports by people and medical professionals of adverse events after taking one of the available vaccines.
Such a wonderful writer, probably the finest English stylist of the 18th century. You can pick a passage at random from Decline and Fall and it'll be something masterful, e.g.

"As the happiness of a future life is the great object of religion, we may hear without surprise or scandal that the introduction, or at least the abuse of Christianity, had some influence on the decline and fall of the Roman empire. The clergy successfully preached the doctrines of patience and pusillanimity; the active virtues of society were discouraged; and the last remains of military spirit were buried in the cloister: a large portion of public and private wealth was consecrated to the specious demands of charity and devotion; and the soldiers' pay was lavished on the useless multitudes of both sexes who could only plead the merits of abstinence and chastity. Faith, zeal, curiosity, and more earthly passions of malice and ambition, kindled the flame of theological discord; the church, and even the state, were distracted by religious factions, whose conflicts were sometimes bloody and always implacable; the attention of the emperors was diverted from camps to synods; the Roman world was oppressed by a new species of tyranny; and the persecuted sects became the secret enemies of their country. Yet party-spirit, however pernicious or absurd, is a principle of union as well as of dissension. The bishops, from eighteen hundred pulpits, inculcated the duty of passive obedience to a lawful and orthodox sovereign; their frequent assemblies and perpetual correspondence maintained the communion of distant churches; and the benevolent temper of the Gospel was strengthened, though confirmed, by the spiritual alliance of the Catholics. The sacred indolence of the monks was devoutly embraced by a servile and effeminate age; but if superstition had not afforded a decent retreat, the same vices would have tempted the unworthy Romans to desert, from baser motives, the standard of the republic. Religious precepts are easily obeyed which indulge and sanctify the natural inclinations of their votaries; but the pure and genuine influence of Christianity may be traced in its beneficial, though imperfect, effects on the barbarian proselytes of the North. If the decline of the Roman empire was hastened by the conversion of Constantine, his victorious religion broke the violence of the fall, and mollified the ferocious temper of the conquerors."
> Actually, no. It just made it more complex and brittle.

If that line does not look like a strong "hire" signal to you, there's something wrong about you.

Anyway, I think the large majority of the people I've seen interviewing anybody (including me) would use it as a "no hire". I guess I wouldn't want to hire the large majority of people I've seen conducting an interview...
Or perhaps the websites being returned are garbage? I have the same experience trying a few searches and following the top 5 links. Besides wikipedia, I haven't found a single useful website.
An escape hatch to space force infrastructure means a nuclear exchange won't end the technology progress. Like a U. S. President said in living memory: Let them fight!
This is true only if you are an Amazon/Genius user. If you aren't, it's just another site.

After some Amazon anti-worker horribleness a year or two ago, I dropped my Prime subscription and now Amazon is my last resort for shopping. It turns out that as a web experience, it's pretty garbage these days. It's crammed with ads and dubious listings. So I think your "mentally more efficient" is what I'd call "habit". Ordering books from my local bookstore is just as quick and is definitely more pleasant.
