Avengers movies (Infinity War and Endgame) are worth a watch even for non-hardcore fans.

While Infinity War can work as an almost standalone movie, if there ever was a movie made for the hardcore fans, it's Endgame. Unless you've absorbed all the lore that came before, 80% of the call-backs and references that the whole movie is built on won't mean anything to you.

I mean the scene in the climax the all the fans lose their shit over and considers the most powerful and pivotal scene in the movie is a character picking up a weapon and saying a word. Nothing within that movie gives any indication as to why any of that is a Really Big Deal.

The moment after the US bombed Nagasaki, there were no more usable nucler weapons left in the world. There was no such thing as an ICBM. Right now most of the world is pre-targeted by thousands of nukes mounted to space vehicles spread across half a dozen countries and on strike submarines. In the modern era if a country believes it may be under nuclear attack by another nuclear power, they have less than 2 minutes to decide whether to launch because their retaliatory capability would be crushed after that point. There is nothing remotely comparable about nukes in the ww2 era vs the post cold war era.
If that platform was owned by the government, or in the public domain. Or not owned by anybody, like the space around our planet. Then such shenanigans would definitely be called censorship and a violation.

But because it's privately owned, it isn't.

The way it hinges on who's name is on the receipt. Which is just a legal artifact. Seems unrealistic.

I mean, the more realistic take is : yes, our whole population is definitely using it to communicate. Before that solid fact any mere legalism is insubstantial.

And when you look at it that way it follows that there is definitely a snake in the cradle.

That's probably because they've had enough experience to become aware of "the great lie" with all of these approaches to dating, and are tired of wasting time with it. That is, the fantasy that the online conversation actually has any real meaning whatsoever.

No matter how much time you spend chatting or exchanging messages virtually, it is completely and utterly meaningless when held up against the first 5 minutes of that first in-person meet-up. So getting to that stage as quickly as possible tends to be the best for everyone.

I’m not being condescending.

Anyways, if a serious exploit is found in the TLS stack, I would expect what you would want to do is update to the inevitable security release for your current stable version of Go. They do in fact do security releases, so it shouldn’t be a huge problem.

That leaves the only logical reason to need this lever as basically just one thing: you are dealing with broken software and need the cipher suite order to be suboptimal. And yes, I expect someone to need to fork the TLS stack for that, unless it’s common enough that many people would need to do that.

If my TLS stack is not updating in response to new security threats, that really poses a bigger problem to me than not having the levers to try to mitigate them on my own.

I'm thinking I may open source some of the components I use, rather than publishing the whole thing, as it's part of a larger monorepo that contains the somewhat integrated code for a large set of services, public and private.

None of the code is particularly fancy, just highly specialized. I did build them myself mostly because I couldn't find anything available that the rather special demands that are put on the application.

I don't think that is historically accurate. The US had many large epidemics of diseases such cholera, typhus, yellow fever, and bubonic plague, not to mention influenza in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The priority on individual liberty didn't get in the way then. Quarantines and lockdowns and mask requirements were imposed and enforced. They even had vaccine or inoculation mandates for some of them.

Heck, arguably an inoculation mandate played an important role in the successful creation of the US. 90% of the loses among the Continental regulars were due to disease with small pox being the most serious.

Inoculation was widespread in Europe and most of the British army was immune, giving them a large advantage. People were still afraid of the risks of inoculation in the colonies and in 1776 the Continental Congress issues a proclamation prohibiting army surgeons from inoculating.

In early 1777 George Washington informed the Continental Congress that he was going to mandate inoculation and told his commanding officers to do so. They inoculated the ~3/4 of the army that had not already had smallpox and all new recruits.

Smallpox continued to rage throughout the war, but no longer in the Continental army. From that point on not a single Continental regiment was incapacitated by smallpox.

On the British side the actual British soldiers were also immune to smallpox, but not so the slaves who had chosen to fight for the British in exchange for freedom or the Native Americans who sided with the British. Those groups were devastated by smallpox.

I find Harveys Maps to be much better for walking. They don't cover the whole country but they do have the advantage of

- Having the whole of the Lake District on a single map.

- Printing on plastic so they don't get damaged and are more compact than the OS laminated maps

- Excluding political boundaries as I don't care about them

- Showing the location of the footpath as well as its legal location; sometimes they're on different sides of the wall

- The reverse of the map usually gives you detailed information on the layers of rock beneath your feet which is interesting for extra reading.

> Also I would have thought one would have to have a lot of experience to discern what is right, wrong, or not relevant, more of an issue if you have a huge amount of information available.

Agreed, have you heard of a new open acces project by the scientist Alex Freeman, called Octopus? I'm super excited about it:

"The overall idea behind the new platform, which I called Octopus, is to break the standard unit of publication up into eight smaller stages or pieces. These include formulated scientific problems, hypotheses, methods and protocols, data, analysis, interpretation, and real-world applications. The eighth piece is reviews where people share their comments about the other stages, but it's also treated as a publication itself because it is a constructive piece of collaboration. Researchers will be able to revisit their publications to acknowledge others' comments or suggestions and even include some of the useful reviewers as authors, with the old version remaining available so that readers can track the evolution of ideas.

The formulated scientific problem automatically becomes the beginning of a chain, and all the other pieces are vertically linked upward. If you have a great hypothesis, you can publish that and link it straight up to the problem that it is trying to address. And if you've collected some small amount of data, you can publish that, linking it directly up to the protocol that you followed. It will also be possible to create horizontal links between publications; maybe somebody has come up with an amazing algorithm whilst studying starling flocking behavior and somebody else working on oil pipelines has decided to use it.

Octopus will thus allow researchers to publish in much smaller author groups, and that can make the system much more accountable and meritocratic. If, say, you're an applied statistician, at the moment you're very rarely a first author on anything. But with Octopus, statisticians can do analyses of anybody else's data and get credit for it as the author of that publication. Octopus will also be made language-agnostic through automatic translation to lower language barriers and broaden access."

It's entitlement to refuse to be treated like garbage? I feel like it's rather entitlement on the part of those who are treating workers like garbage. Employers expect employees to "go above and beyond" but I see that as a two way street. I will "go above and beyond" for a company that does likewise with me. I will do no more than the basic job functions if the job demands more than its rightful place in my life, or if they attempt to abuse me.

There’s an argument that the only reason it isn’t in the UK is Boris’s near-death experience; prior to that he has kind of trying to take the Trump/Bolsonaro “it’s just a cold” approach, though it’s less clear that British people would’ve bought it.

If Terraform was used for the deployment of the infrastructure, then state IS the actual configuration of the system.

All that a plan does is evaluate what is going to change in the current Terraform state by performing a dry-run of the Terraform code that you have supplied.

If you would actually like to make changes to the Terraform state based on what the Terraform code evaluated then you run a Terraform apply - which will, for the resources deployed via Terraform, update the configurations themselves and update the Terraform state by using the Terraform code as the instruction set.

You can actually see this in action with plan and apply as the output will show you +,-, and ~ where ~ is settings that are going to change but are not new configurations or configuration to be removed.

Edit: Learned from some other comments that Terraform has a 'refresh' command that will take deploy+n time configurations done outside of Terraform and sync those configurations with the state. This might be what you ideally are looking for after deployments?

I don't think it has to escalate as aggressively as you're making it out to be, and yet exiting is an option as we saw from Google's reaction to China's demands. So here we're just seeing what things they consider bad enough and my comment is that it was sad this wasn't bad enough for them to put their foot down.
Please don't blame open source volunteers for not having the right skillset or for not having enough time to address every concern or merge every patch that comes their way. Everyone's got their strengths and weaknesses. I'm sure the GIMP developers would love to make a program that is really good at everything, but reality has a way of making that difficult. If you've got some spare time and can help with reviewing and merging and maintaining patches, maybe you can talk to them and work something out? Remember that any patch that gets merged has to be maintained for several years, so maybe you can see their reluctance there.

I feel like this is partly something the dating app companies do on purpose.

There is this inherent problem that if the dating app does its job well, it will inevitably lose the customer. The ideal customer does a lot of matching is more into hookups than actual dating, so the dating app in incentivized to optimize for this behavior rather than focusing on matching people based on character to increase the possibility of a long term relationship.
Skill is certainly involved, as are sometimes crushing demographics. I grew up in churches that taught one to only date non-Catholic Christians. In the area those were rare, especially single ones my age. Then everyone has deal breakers further reducing the pool of possible candidates. I learned to be less picky but still had to travel about 50 miles away and only made 2 successful matches (i.e. second date) over 5y.

What disturbs me is that we're throwing out the baby of critical science with the bathwater of raging idiocy. It has become blatantly obvious that COVID is here to stay, and we need to question if the right approach last year (lockdown, mask, social distance etc) still makes sense in a world where a) everybody who wants to get vaccinated can, and b) it's starting to be become clear that, while vaccinations are great at preventing severe illness & death for a while, they don't last forever and are not a silver bullet for stopping infections.

> Yet another example that we don't really get a "raw feed" from out senses.

I love this description http://www.dspguide.com/InnerLightTheory/frontcov.htm of the front cover of a free ebook on consciousness (there's a link to the book at the bottom of the page. the author isn't a neuroscientist or a philosopher but an electrical engineer, but his theory of consciousness is interesting nonetheless. he also has a free ebook on signal processing http://www.dspguide.com and it's pretty cool). The main theme of the book is that consciousness arises exactly because we don't have a "raw feed" and we can't inspect our inner workings; a being that can will not have the same subjective experience.

> The front cover illustrates the image detected by your right eye as you stand a few feet from the Mona Lisa. The gray filaments are regions where you are totally blind, a result of blood vessels in the retina blocking the detection of light. Likewise, the large rectangular region is where the optic nerve connects with the retina, where humans are also sightless. This is called the blind spot, and is really quite large, about the size of an apple at arm’s length. As long as your eye remains fixed on the center of the painting, these gray regions are totally blocked from your gaze; you perceive nothing about the image in these areas.

> When you first looked at the cover, you probably wondered what the gray spider-like pattern represented. It probably struck you as quite odd, like something out of a bad science fiction movie. It was totally unfamiliar and foreign to your conscious experience. But how could this possibly be? This pattern has been superimposed on your visual field since you first opened your eyes as an infant. Even as you read this paragraph the pattern is present. It should be more familiar to you than anything you have ever seen. How is it possible that our conscious experience knows nothing of these blind areas?

I think a lot of people wouldn't mind doing such types of jobs if they only need to do 2-3 shifts a week, in fact, I think a lot of people would enjoy it.

I think it's mostly the mix of overworked + low benefits + knowing that you have to do it otherwise you'll have nothing is the deal breaker - not so much the job itself.
Being treated like garbage and a job inherently being shitty aren’t the same thing. People seem to confuse that.
