I like the first half of the idea (donating 10% of one's income) but I feel strongly against their definition of "effective" and "biggest problems". This typically happens when someone multiplies a tiny probability by an infinite value like "time till the heath death of the universe".

In particular, their top four recommended charities are managed by "Effective altruism funds", with the 3rd best-ranked charity spending money to prevent "potential risks from advanced artificial intelligence" which I strongly consider a waste of money.

Of course, everyone's values are different. I'd just encourage people to take 5 minutes and choose their own charities instead of blindly choosing their suggestions.

>and having those machines use e.g. ddclient or similar

How does this work on my networked PDU, UPS, speaker, light hub, or even printer for that matter since you mention it [0]? There is vast universe of "machines" that aren't full fat PCs (or if they are under the hood grant zero native flexibility to the operator over any of that). But they all can take a static IP fine and then get managed from there, shoved into VLANs which are also straightforward with IPv4, etc.

I agree with GP that this is a really, really common scenario in SMB. And it means a lot of stuff can stay up and active with quite minimal network infrastructure.

>but I feel like that's not how IPv4 was intended to be used.

First, why not, and what source? People have been using static IPv4 for this sort of thing for as long as I can remember ethernet (mid 90s) at least and probably before I ever did my first networking at all. But second, so what? It's useful, makes sense and has tons of usage. It allows basic networks to get bootstrapped in a super lightweight fashion and its dependable when there are issues at higher stacks. It certainly doesn't scale, but conversely at scale handling more moving parts reliably also is much more feasible so that's ok.

It definitely seems like one of those things that should have been a gimme in a new standard. With the opportunity to have close enough to limitless addresses why did they have to make it more restrictive then the old very limited system?

----

0: Ignoring granted that many of them don't support IPv6 at all, because some already do and that number may eventually be 100% or sufficiently close. And that would probably happen sooner if there was more demand due to IPv6 meeting existing needs.
I agree with this. A combo meal at McDonalds is $8 or $9 per person these days, meanwhile, a (relatively) healthy supermarket meal easily cooked on the stovetop in the time it takes to wait in a drive-thru costs $1 or $2 per person. I don't buy into the idea that Americans eat processed unhealthy foods because of their personal financial situation.

To believe that “the ruling class” oppose Facebook because people say mean things there, you have to maintain a crazily tortured definition of who is and is not in the ruling class.

To believe that Facebook, a huge company that recruits heavily from the Ivy League and pays huge salaries across the board, is not an elite institution, requires willful ignorance about what they do and who they work for. Who do you think buys most of the ads on Facebook? Dynamic amateurs and the broader public?

I would guess they do no such thing.
> Subsidy is the exact term the study uses

I'm saying that they intentionally misused the word to confuse readers.

The word subsidy has a specific and well known definition. A subsidy is a sum of money paid to an individual/organization/industry to achieve some goal. Or it is a tax break which is given specifically to an individual/organization/industry. The study uses subsidy to mean A hypothetical tax break given on a nonexistant tax, imagined by the authors, which would make companies pay for their externalities. Not a subsidy.

Imagine we levied a tax to right the wrongs of misinformation. Under this tax, the guardian would be paying billions, billions in damages for articles like this! But they're not paying my imaginary taxes. So the goverment is subsidizing the Guardian to the tune of billions of dollars. It's a friggin' fairy tale.

Further, the difference between the terms 'subsidy' and 'externality' is not trivial nor accidental. It's the difference between "your government is funneling money into industry x" (this message carries personal implications for the reader, making it likely to result in an emotional response) and "industry x harms the environment" (which is an old song and unlikely to generate an emotional response or reader engagement).
Setting requirements for staffing ratios is meaningless. It doesn't mean the resources actually exist, or that anyone will be held accountable.

They were late by what - a few months? Speaking of Europe, we had vaccines for quite a while and they didn't. There's also no way prepurchasing a bunch of different vaccines didn't help/fund development.

As per your second point, I agree. On the other side you had democratic presidential candidates saying they wouldn't take "Trump's vaccine." It's disgusting what the political divide has brought.
I feel you’re taking the wrong message away here - the countries in question have more than enough doses, and can pick and choose between the vaccines. None of the vaccines are more dangerous than covid itself, but the government is recommending that (since they have an adequate supply) their people shouldn’t bother with the ones that are potentially extremely marginally more risky. If the “best” vaccine didn’t exist, they’d still be recommending the next best one.
Yes this all sounds accurate to me.

The problem is as a society this isn't a positive thing, and we should put some energy into stopping runaway gambling fads because they are highly destructive when it all comes crashing down.

That's why Facebook is investing in VR. Not because they're optimistic about it, or because they want to own the space, but because it's the closest horizon that has the potential to fundamentally change interaction.

If it does, they have a foot in the door and can flood resources into it. If it doesn't, small price to pay for hedging an existential threat.

Some commodities have more elasticity on the supply side than others and that changes the economics. You only have so many options with coffee, you have to sell it sooner rather than later. Gold bars are easier to store, but also more attractive to steal. Other than that maple syrup heist in Canada a few years back, we don't usually see bulk, perishable goods getting stolen because it's too much of a pain. I think they only did it because of the element of surprise. Who steals syrup??
LJ was "peak internet" for me. I had a smallish network of friends on there and we read and commented on each others' stuff. You could be as personal or as detached and anonymous as you wanted.

You didn't have normies and family and stuff on there; felt like you could actually express yourself.

Tumblr was its spiritual successor, I guess, in ways. But it wasn't the same. People actually wrote things on LJ. Maybe it was mostly crap, but it was often thoughtful and personal if you had the right friends. It felt like nothing was ever created on Tumblr; it was just endless pithy comments and jokes about things created elsewhere.

This is an interesting project! There's a lot of room for improvement in the self-publishing space!

I'm currently self-publishing a series of books about software development & it (https://dev-concepts.dev). As you've mentioned it is indeed quite complex to get up and running and generate beautiful output.

I've chosen to use AsciiDoc and created a template (https://github.com/dsebastien/e-book-template) based on Matt Raible's work for InfoQ books (https://github.com/mraible/infoq-mini-book). It's far from perfect, but it's a good starting point.

My first book was published by Packt, and I also used Asciidoc for the initial draft, but then had to switch to their wordpress-like platform, and it was a real nightmare to use. Being able to use Asciidoc end-to-end feels so much better.
> This article at least in text said you’re more at risk of getting it from Covid than the vaccine

But the risk of getting COVID in any time period is less than 1 (based on % of population that has actually had it, possibly less than 0.1 or 10% per year), so it's worth waiting for the safest vaccine for certain groups.

New study using Kaiser data with both Pfizer and Moderna all ages [1]. 15 cases out of 2,392,924 (0.8 cases per 1 million first doses and 5.8 cases per 1 million second doses over a 10-day observation window), of which all were men with a median age of 25 years.

While that's both vaccines, it's still quite rare especially given the large population size (2.3M people), especially considering for under 16s your risk of myocarditis is 37x more likely if you get Covid [2].

> A vaccination covers a huge range of mutations in that spike protein as the immune system memorizes multiple targets.

This is an excellent technical point. Trouble is we already know that we are 'a few mutations away' from a covid variant evading vaccines, which is 'likely' to emerge. A recent Japanese preprint nailed it down to just 4: K417N, N439K, E484K and N501Y.

Rachel Walensky, CDC boss, July 2021: "the largest concern that we in public health and science are worried about is that the virus…[becomes] a very transmissible virus that has the potential to evade our vaccines in terms of how it protects us from severe disease and death". A new, more elusive variant could be "just a few mutations away," she said.

Albert Bourla, Pfizer CEO, Aug 2021: "Every time that a variant appears in the world, our scientists are getting their hands around it.

> long term immunity is maintained via memory B cells because constantly producing antibodies to every disease encountered is untenable

You are reading this backwards. I am not making any claims of what the appropriate level of antibodies ought be for long term immunity. I find "using tainted data we found 2x increase of antibody levels in post-infection + vax compared to just post-infection" studies ridiculous. The people pushing vaccines on people with prior infection, the people pushing boosters, the cottage industry of antigen studies making bold immunity extrapolations are making such claims. Perhaps you should spend some time educating them of basic immune system functions?

I wouldn't mind that much, everybody is free to chose their own risk profile. Right? Then they throw away the democratic norms and practices of past 200 years because they don't get the buyin levels (100%) they were hoping for. That is evil.
Did you put your screen on an angle? haha

~2.7 cases of myocarditis per 100k. Deadly car crashes in the US is about 11 deaths per 100k (between 3.3 and 25 when looking at states directly, 18.2 worldwide average). That's not even counting indirect deaths caused by car fumes.

So to the person posting the same thing from new accounts about vaccines being a great risk to yourself, I hope you take driving and crossing the road as seriously as you take getting vaccinated because that's faaar more dangerous (especially if you live in Wyoming).
I am not sure what mechanism is Google using. But Android apps can talk to each other on the same device and you can restrict this to only applications that are signed with the same certificate (and this is guarded at the OS level).

The hardware seems like the least interesting thing from my pov. Cramming an SDR and microcontroller/pi into any sort of box isn't rocket science. We don't even know if the screen works, but if it booted a playable GameBoy emulator then I'd be far more interested. Everything built into a cartridge that was bootable/playable with a stock GameBoy would really impress...

The bigger question to me, is what they're broadcasting to manage this. A targeted MITM or replay attack is one thing, and they've been reported in the past. This device seems capable of brute forcing in seconds though; and if it's that easy, surely the manufacturer is culpable?

Tangentially related to the first point, I wonder if there's any Android phone-type devices with a user programmable SDR built in. There used to be some handsets with analogue ham radios (2m/70cm) so smartphone+sdr seems the next logical step.
Still the mantra is to vaccinate even more!

Although this is an interesting, novel method, there are so many fingerprinting capable APIs in native code that I don't think this matters much.

Many apps I use daily require internal storage permissions and a bunch of them drop random dotfiles with magical IDs in there. Xiaomi even dumps a world readable unique device ID on the emulated SD card. Not all apps require external storage permissions, but even then there's tons of APIs that can be used to fingerprint the device.

Google is trying their absolute hardest to reduce the fingerprinting surface but as long as system APIs that work with user content like these exist, there will always be something to fingerprint users by. If everything else fails, you could just embed a webview that uses all the javascript stalking we've grown so accustomed to.

It's sad but I don't think you can prevent native code from fingerprinting your device. The sandbox just isn't tight enough and users are too willing to give out permissions.

I can see Google using a predefined set of colours in some update instead of the raw colour values to combat this, but that's only one of many ways apps abuse their users' devices. Unless app stores kick out apps that fingerprint devices, I don't think we'll see any non-fingerprinted devices any time soon.
