>Ever heard of the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Pentagon papers?

Yes. And the Washington Post and the New York Times also published stolen documents (in that case, as you stated, the Pentagon Papers).

Assange published stolen documents. So did WaPo and NYT. So what?

I don't see a difference there. Publishing stuff that's newsworthy or in the public interest is journalism.

Clearly I'm missing your point. Do you think that by stating that particular fact, I was taking a swipe at Assange? Or do you not believe that those documents were stolen? Or are you trying to make some other, still opaque to me, point?

Do tell.
Well done Moxie Marlinspike and Signal team.

Sure. I agree various sampling strategies are a good design, as long as they don't add up to much IO. Making that a "user parameter" to be customizable seems ideal. What you suggest may make a fine default - if adapted to varying file sizes somehow. E.g., that Nim dups program I mentioned elsewhere could just take a sequence of slices instead of only one..maybe just ignoring out of bounds slices. { And for size clusters where the size < N, screw it - just hash the whole thing, probably. ;-) }
I think you misread the post above. They're saying that the govt should be allowed to issue subpoenas, and nothing more. They shouldn't be allowed to mandate backdoors, or hack suspect's machines, etc. And citizens should be free to use cryptography to control their information.

Also, "Impossible" is not the right term. "Extraordinarily expensive" is a better one. And yes, anyone can share public keys with each other offline and have end-to-end encrypted communication without help from a service. But advertising companies and the govt are not incentivized to make that practice convenient, and people typically do what is most convenient.
I have a big "hard disk museum." Partly because it's sort of a cool collection going back to old 5 1/4" platter days. But also because, at a minimum, I'd want to give the drives a few whacks with a sledgehammer before I tossed them. I'd also want to at least look through my floppies to make sure there's no "personal info backup" one.

The immoral actions of an unchecked imperialist power are not of Assange's making.
Seems to me that a routing / networking issue would have been resolved by now, and application bug would have been rolled back.

If I were to speculate, I would say that it must have something to do with databases / storage. Something must have gone wrong and broke some database, and it’s difficult to restore.

While we're on the topic: you can also leave your estate to a DAF. (If you're married or have kids, probably you should ignore this.)

So that money goes to charity, but what charities? You won't be here, obviously. When you're looking into this, see if your DAF administrator allows a "successor trustee." If not, that institution itself (Schwab, Vanguard, whatever) will disburse it.

If they do, you can pick someone whose values you trust to be the successor & disburse the money. (Probably someone younger than you!) You should ask them, or else they'll get a real surprising phone call right after you die.

Who is this government that is not you and I and why should we cede any kind of goal to them in that case?

I simply disagree with the notion that I should be controlled and monitored by a third party just because someone else might do something evil.

We should always remember that power corrupts and definitions of evil change almost on a whim.

A relevant essay: "No More Creepy Crawlies" by Anthony Pearce

The magazine also has a lot of cli-fi stories posted for free, so I recommend checking it out.
I did something similar to you, except I used progressively less dense layers of latex (also from foamorder.com). CalKing rather than anything larger, but I've considered larger and I've been thinking it's better to make an Emperor or Caesar size formed from two halves.

it's been 10 years btw since I build mine. There's a slight give in the densest lower layer but it's held up enough that I still only really need to replace the top layer to get it back up to snuff.

My question: how in the hell do you afford sheets that size? lol
If it has a kitchen with actual cooking, this is exactly how dorms should be designed. I don't care about having a window if there's ventilation. I care about affording it and not having another dumb kid to share that space with.
The first answer tells you why you are wrong.

Heat pump.

It's a silly question trolling for the obvious first year engineering/high school answer, heat pump.

In practice how heat pumps work in the artic circle might be interesting. But in practice light bulb in the article are probably working to government rules for the entire country. Or practical limitations like exposure to the cold or transport costs or what's getting mass produced in society.

Caring for a houseplant is like caring for a baby. There are things that work, and things that don't, but not necessarily for your baby. You won't really know what's going on unless you pay close attention to it. And if it seems unhappy, you won't really know how to make it happy until you try a few things out.

Baby advice and houseplant advice isn't "bad", it's just subjective.

also: my houseplants don't get big because I don't take care of them! the ones I left outside "to die" have grown substantially... i even left a bunch of succulents outside, that were sitting in pots with no drainage, overflowing with water for 6 months.... they're fine. they "should" be dead as doornails. shrug
Were the atomic bombs really all that different from the systematic fire bombing of Japanese cities?

I think what got Japan to surrender was a certain common sense in the emperor and some of the elite that a final last stand wouldn't do them much good. Especially not with the Soviets joining in.

> It only relatively recently came to be applied to sexual roles and identity.

OED has it being used equivalent to “sex” (in the sense of male v. female categories) back to 1474, which is not all that recent. It’s only recently that models splitting “sex” (physical traits), “ascribed gender” or just “gender” (socially recognized role), and “gender identity” (self-identified social role) as distinct things with distinct names have come into use, but “gender” wasn’t plucked out of linguistics alone for its use in regard to such models, but from its longstanding use as another label for “sex” as a categorization axis. (That it was also used in linguistics, which might be viewed as social, may be why it got picked for the social aspects and “sex” for the physical, I suppose.)

Tl;dr: Lots of houseplants die. The end.

Anyway, since you are here: You may kill your plants with tap water. Plants evolved to get demineralized rainwater. The salts of tap water will build up in the soil, slowly poisoning the plant. Additionally the pot is also the plant’s potty: It disposes excess minerals and waste through the roots, and expects the rain to flush it away.

It’s best to water your plants with demineralized water, but you can also use (old) boiled and cooled down water, which lost at least some CO2 and consequently fell out calcium. In any case, if you water your plant, do so thoroughly, until water comes out at the bottom. Let it collect for a few minutes and then dispose it. Do not let it reabsorb! This will help the plant getting rid of salts and also helps not getting the soil soaking wet.

Btw. this is also why irrigation is a problem for food security. Using straight underground water for crops in hot regions will only work for a few years, until the soil is dead for good….

Edit: Oh yeah, and IIRC the snake plants leaf tips are crucial for growth. They may be hurt from handling in the store and will consequently not grow in length anymore. Not sure it has anything to do with watering at all. My snake plant got “store leaves”, which haven’t changed at all over the years, got brown just at the very end, and new leaves, which are almost double the length and totally healthy. Maybe a brown tip is just the normal display of a leaf without a head (cell).

Fun fact: Did you know snake plants store “sun energy” at daylight, and then do the rest of photosynthesis at night? So they do not lose water due to evaporation as much, when opening their pores for gas exchange! Pretty cool, eh?!

I can certainly empathize with anyone who restricts purchases to "need" instead of the far more common motivation: conspicuous consumption. Personally, I'm more motivated by spite - I hate the idea of rewarding the consume-product industry; which is why I've been using the same, now thoroughly hot-rodded, W520 for a decade.

Anyway, I'm fairly confident that IBM is determined to destroy any instance of goodwill that pops up - so it isn't as if I'm recruiting in the hopes that enough demand will ensure continued support... POWER10 is a pretty clear declaration of their intentions. I'm just saying that I'm a happy owner of a Blackbird, only because I figured the cost over a much longer useful life relative to competing alternatives.
The above sounds like it's trying to prevent you from wrapping up purely informational websites, like that for a specific wedding, or a brochure or something (analogous to "simply a song or a movie" vs a general music or movies app). Of course I'm sure individual reviewers will interpret it differently. But I don't think the "spirit of the law" is at odds with PWA Builder.

Keep in mind that a fair-sized codec was generally written on velum, not paper, and would have required a sizeable herd of sheep merely to provide the hides. The material cost of a book of such times could well approach or exceed 1 million dollars by present reckoning, even before labour of approximately 1 man year to copy it out by hand per copy was added.

Gutenberg's revolution hinged not only on moveable type, but on rag-based paper (wood pulp wasn't widely used until the 19th century), and reduced the cost of a book by about an order of magnitude, possibly two. Far less expensive than before, but still phenomenally expensive contrasted with a paperback or digital download.

That said, yes, the production, reproduction, preservation, and distribution of books was very highly limited. Much official practice relied strongly on individual memory and recollection, with minimal recordkeeping via media. See the use of tally-sticks used for recording and reconciliation of debts (and the burning down of Parliament, eventually), as an example.

As with most works of antiquity, a large part of the present ascribed value is due to the failure of most such works to survive.

There's also the historiography of early records, and how and in what form(s) early documents did survive, where and when they did. Often it's only through quotations or citations that any record exists at all.

I've found it delightfully ironic that one of the more tedious forms of online debate, popular with top-quoting users of Usenet and email lists, of citing passages and responding to them directly in-line, was apparently pioneered thousands of years ago, and that it is often the harshest and most strident critics of earlier works who are to be credited with even a partial survival of them, by virtue of their anacronistic Fisking.

Peter Adamson's History of Philosophy podcast addresses these aspects in several episodes, largely on earlier philosophers.
Devil's Advocate: This piece is only analogous if "white" has been used as a generic term for color since at least 800 years ago. The reason it sounds shocking is that "white" has only ever really, in a broad sense, meant white, while "man" has generically referred to humans for about 800 years:

Not the parent and not a “dualist”, but I sometimes like to engage in thought experiments comparing us to intelligent entities on a webpage that have been given access to a REPL on their current context:

We discovered document.body.innerHTML (dna?), and perhaps have found a way to establish a debugger connection too (eeg/ekg/etc?). We can see that various sequences of token inputted to the REPL correspond to reproducible outputs (gene engineering), but we have no real understanding how it all works under the covers. That is, we don’t know anything of the miles of renderer/OS/hardware/physics stack that makes it all possible.

Importantly to this discussion, we don’t know anything about a funny little sequence called XMLHttpRequest. We see it all over the place and can easily see how particular behaviors correspond to the sequence being invoked, but as far as we can tell it doesn’t act all that differently to any of the other token sequences we test, being perhaps most similar to Math.random, with the exception that it takes a seed as input.

The danger is that you will come to a conclusion that is objectively wrong.

P-hacking is a known issue in many scientific fields. So is drawing conclusions from over collection of data without repetition of the study... As the number of data points you collect approaches infinity, the chance of finding at least one meaningful-seeming correlation approaches 100% because having an unlimited number of data points to bash against each other makes you more likely to observe an improbable correlation.

Because you didn’t read the book so you think I’m lying about what he said? He held various opinions about these issues through his life, as one would expect from an active thinker. But in the book I mentioned he specifically says that it is incoherent to claim to be an atheist or an agnostic, because both these descriptions implicitly refer to the “god” non-concept. And no, you can’t define a negative space by using a word that doesn’t refer to anything.

EDIT: As you’ve seen fit to edit your comment while I was replying to it, I’m done.
(for cooking, but also others) There usually are good sources and they fall under two categories (or both): very precise procedure which was actually tested or technique and feedback focused information. The latter being far more important. How to adjust, signs to look for (sound, smell, taste, sight), the proper uses of tools, etc.

"This is how I do it!" blog kinds of recipes usually suffer from hidden techniques or undocumented variables where you try it yourself and it's just awful.

In other words, good advice involves science and art, not just one-off reports of success.
>It's probably a bad bet to say "Obviously, these people are going to be the richest forever."

Obviously, but again, the point isn't who's at the very top of the leaderboard. The point is that the material situations of the top, say, 500 richest easily allow for what we plebes would parse as insane economic loss in real wealth, and they'd be basically OK with it. Perhaps they'd no longer be in the top two digits, but they have only really lost in the sense of a high score, not lost in the sense of total dispossession and now your life's over.

If SpaceX was somehow destroyed, reputationally and materially, Musk would still have Tesla, and all his other ventures and economic instruments. Likewise Amazon could go belly-up due to a sudden locavore craze and a drone uprising, and AWS would continue making money hand over fist. My point is that the owner class is thus not actually seriously incentivized to prevent an economic crash, and in fact their apocalypse-bunkers indicate that they're pricing in the clearly non-zero chance of it happening.

Lastly, the numbers you're using about the ages of these mega-corps? Good point about that -- the Hudson's Bay Company once owned more land than any other company ever, acted as first contact to uncontacted Natives, and now they are a department store. That said, I don't think Amazon or Tesla will fall from grace in the near term. Blithely assuming that the HBC, like many a corporation, would have a 20 year lifespan or even just wane in power in 20 years, would have been a bad bet in 1700.

Archive.org is great; especially their archive of abandonware old games (MS-DOS, older console ROMs), some of which can be played online.

But don't find yourself actually needing to get in touch with a human there. I have a friend that inadvertently doxxed themself on a website they own; they removed the pages, added a robots.txt to disallow crawling and is trying for months to reach someone over there to just get that data removed from The Wayback Machine, to no avail.

Perhaps archive.org doesn't have a lot of staff or they simply don't care but I imagine these kinds of things happen often enough that they should at least have an automated process in place (and continuing to crawl a website that specifically forbids it through the standard robots.txt is a bit icky).
Sure. Etag stands for "Entity Tag", and it's a header value that comes from the web server and related to caching. A normal implementation would use something like a CRC or MD5 hash of the requested page/image/etc to calculate a tag, and send it to the web browser. The browser stores it for later.

The browser, if it's asked to retrieve that thing (image, page, etc) later, sends the "etag" back in the request via a If-None-Match header. The server then knows whether the image/page/etc has changed since the client last requested it. And, it can send back either the new version of the image/page/etc, or a "304 Not Modified" if the page hasn't changed...that is, the computed etag hash value is the same.

Here's the problem. There's no spec for how an etag is computed or how it's used. So on the server side, I can use it like a marker tag. Say, I generate a known unique tag for every new visitor that doesn't send me If-None-Match, like a GUID. And I keep a table of those Etag values. You're now fingerprinted...your browser will send that value back every time you visit, no JavaScript required.

For what it's worth I have a "2m x 2m". That's very big for many european countries: it's actually a bit complicated to find mattresses / sheets for such size (typically you need to order them and wait a bit), while if you go with the more standard "180cm x 200cm" you've got sheets and mattresses on display in many shops.
