The difference in this case being that the image was uploaded to the public Internet (IPFS), with no access controls, by the original artist (and presumably the copyright holder). Regardless of your stance on copyright, it's hard to see how anyone should be upset about someone downloading content the artist shared publicly of their own free will.

the global economy so inter-dependent that it's scary. We have a cascading failure that could now create famine, which would result in a feedback loop that makes everything even worse. All of this basically stems from a few weeks of true hard lockdown.

I doubt commiting genocide or ethnic cleansing was new to anyone back then, so you claim Spain 'liberated' these people? Sounds like a nice nitpick written by the victora. So easy to lap it up when the world is black n white. Please stop watching MCU/Star Wars
Well, there's _Fooled by Randomness_.
To be fair most of the questions were rhetorical, not naive, the answers were a few paragraphs lower.

As for eating it's not so simple. Stray dogs are still depending on humans for food in many ways, either by random people feeding them occasionally, them eating our trash, or hunting prey that human hunters feed so they can shoot it (at least in my country hunters are notorious for feeding wild animals in the winter which causes overpopulation which in the spring and summer they use as an excuse to shoot most of them).

I've had 2 stray dogs adopted - a medium size mongrel that was doing pretty well in the wild (hunting and begging random people for food), and then an irish setter abandoned in the woods and living in the wild for months. She was barely alive when my sister (who is a vet) found her, I've never seen dog that was so starved, despite being a hunting dog supposedly.
Interesting Australia went in the opposite direction: per-type fees are A-ok, but they have the be the true fees.

The problem was that vendors tended to make arbitrary minimum fees for using cards which in no way reflected the actual fees they were paying. Smaller stores were steering customers to cash as it was easier to under-declare earnings with cash.
In response Amex in Australia reduced their fees to stores while simultaneously reducing the value of their awards points programmes (since those were ultimately funded by the fees being charged.)

This also plays into application stores - since developers often don’t pass on fee reductions (such as the subscription fee reduction of 30%->15% after 1 year.)
Google was sued too. I understand Section 230 protected it as well.
It's people flocking to yet another thing that doesn't have its users best interests at heart. That's the core of the problem. No product has endured that hasn't turned against its users. Products created with capital incentives eventually compete against their users' interests.

Many of us here have seen these tides over a long enough period to know what's coming. Young people haven't seen more than a cycle to protect themselves so they buy in to what's easiest. It's a short-term outlook.

Google Talk could have ruled the world of communication built on a real decentralized protocol but it wasn't profitable. Things that aren't profitable get shit-canned or worked over until they are profitable. Once they are profitable market incentives demand they become more profitable and then yet more profitable endlessly.

If human beings just stopped for one second and asked where's the money in this? What's the play? Well, we'd make smarter decisions all around.

Nothing more than five inches in front of our faces at all times.

I do wish we changed the incentives so we could build enduring protocols aligned with user interests.
I run a local social group discord with ~1k people. This was something I learned pretty quickly. Folks will ask for some channel, and then it sits there collecting dust and tumbleweeds. Really it comes down to server owners/mods being good curators of the group.
I wonder if there will really be a long-term shortage. It’s a lot easier to ship tons of fertilizer vs. shipping natural gas. How much additional capacity is there in the U.S.?
The only problem for something too remote for me is my kids. They are still young but I'd like to make sure they have local opportunities to meet other kids, get experience at local employers, and have good schools.

Briar always seems awesome, but wouldn't this only work if there's people with the app installed / nodes every few meters because bluetooth's range is relatively small?
I may be naïve/out of the loop here, but it’s fun to imagine what would be possible with the same gusto and creativity applied to today’s hardware. I imagine that a significant amount of modern hardware, even in games, is eaten up by several layers of abstraction that make it easier for developers to crank out games faster. What would a 90’s developer do with a 16-core CPU and an RTX3080?
The individual was very likely on a PIP. They mentioned "performance issues". It could've went on for months.

If a manager really wants you gone they can manufacture evidence and have you yanked quickly by constructing unobtainable and/or subjective PIP targets.
It seems an appropriate remedy for Discovery would include frequent airing of programming making it clear what the killer looked like, and perhaps covering similar media mistakes (with an eye towards showing the correct individuals over and over, never showing the misidentified people).

Playing it a lot would make it more likely that the people that saw the misinformation would see the correction.
Would something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N. work? From what I understand as people gain and lose internet connectivity through whatever means, that becomes available to the network.

How to Live a Stoic Life
Okay, I guess, but this post missed the point of channels from the beginning. What if two different groups of people want to have a conversation about two different topics at the same time? Shouldn't there be a way for these conversations to proceed without being interleaved? Shouldn't they be topic-based so that it's obvious where each conversation should take place? How do you address these needs without channels?
It's more in the publisher's interest to prevent someone from creating a torrent with the files and anyone being able to use them to play the game without paying. The nature of DRM and this sentiment is exactly why online games are so lucrative - no DRM, besides anti-cheat, and microtransactions end up making way more money over the long-run if it's successful.

We sold software and hardware to banks and our clients were in Asia and Europe. The company still exists; upper management found out what I have been saying since I was a kid in the 80s sitting behind my first (300 baud) modem; no more travel needed. Turns out this sitting around the same table was not needed at all for sales or otherwise. It was fun though but tiring (and stupid for the environment and the uselessness but my colleagues simply did not believe this until this year...).
Looks like the writeup from the ModSecurity folks is here: https://coreruleset.org/20210630/cve-2021-35368-crs-request-... perhaps it's better to change the URL?

The explanation is a little hard for me to follow, but it sounds to me like it works like if you have a php file /foo/bar.php, you can always run that as /foo/bar.php/biz/baz (this is a standard php/apache feature). The bypass is if you make requests to /foo/bar.php/admin/content/assets/add/blah then there is no request body inspection.

IMO, calling this a "severe vulnerability in ModSecurity" though is a little silly. WAFs always have false negatives by design. My first interpretation was that it would be an RCE on the apache daemon or something.
Help Wanted: No Degree, Work Experience or Background Checks
No, I argue it's exactly what GP says. Consumers choose out of what's available on the market, not out of space of all possible products.

When purchasing complex goods like cars (or smartphones), there's way too many things to simultaneously optimize for, and enough confusion (mostly intentional) about relative performance, so most consumers focus on few major indicators like price, availability, cost of ownership, appearance, etc. Few people are going to trade on those major points to optimize something more specific, like lack of touchscreen (or having a headphone jack), so there's no meaningful market feedback on this, and vendors are free to dictate the choice to the market.
That is also the premise behind a 1983 film called Brainstorm starring Christopher Walken.
Either way, crypto currencies become impossible.
While I do like this discussion I also wonder why addictive substances have to be excluded. I understand that you would like have the answer to the question be "no I don't". We can find all sorts exclusions and find a narrow path to an answer that says "no no, all drugs are always safe, see, if you only take them for a month you won't mysteriously die from exactly this 20 years from now". And while that is most probably true (and if it were true, probably hard to prove), the real answer to the question is: Yes, there medications that even if taken for a short period of time will be detrimental and harmful to you over the long term and heroin or morphine are perfect examples of this.

Remember all those war movies? I remember watching Vietnam war movies as a kid and one of the things I remember best is the use of morphine as _the_ field medicine.

Now we can argue that, especially in those times, it might be better to give a soldier that just lost a limb in the battlefield morphine than not to. It doesn't change the fact that

The VA and other reports acknowledge that physicians need better training to manage opioid treatment for veterans. Between 2001 and 2009, for example, the percentage of veterans receiving pain management with prescription narcotics increased from 17 percent to 24 percent. The number of opioid prescriptions written by military physicians more than quadrupled during that time.
For a build system to be hermetic compilations (or other things) should only see declared dependencies. The least hermetic build system is Make. If you have a target that depends on `a.h` nothing is stoping you from reading `b.h`. More hermetic build systems, like Bazel, will make it so `b.h` isn't visible at all during the build process of it isn't declared as an input.

This has nice properties that allow you to be sure your build rules are correct, caching your outputs based on inputs, and because you can cache things you can now remotely execute things safer.
Famine would be a choice though, not an inevitable consequence of fertilizer availability. Crops can be shifted to legumes, and away from livestock production, we spend a lot of calories on preference these days.
I have similar feelings except with please.build.
Eventually there will be zero natural gas - either it will all be used up, or it will banned - so I think the answer is yes?
Choose a path, oh fired one.

Path A) Publicly call out your manager by name and encourage people to spam senior leaders who had literally nothing to do with it and didn't know you existed.

Path B) Leetcode and have 10 interviews lined up by next week, since you're obviously competent enough to get hired at Google.

Path A is the wrong answer, and really self destructive. The worship of Google and other FAANG companies needs to stop. It's pathetic frankly.

Google isn't even in the top tier in terms of compensation anymore. You can earn 20-50% more at equivalent levels at tier 2 companies just below FAANGs.
Grass seed has also seen wild shortages + price increases this year, mostly due to droughts hitting the northwest and driving yields incredibly low this year.

> “Why do you still use Wikipedia?”

It has mistakes, just like any other human-made source of knowledge too.

it's not like we have a god-given encyclopedia which is known to be completely right. I can use Google, DDG, or the library instead of wikipedia, and there's also chances that the sources there are mistaken or outdated too.
what about blinkers?
Why is it assumed "dogs" are derived from wolves, rather than both derived from a shared ancestor?

If one looks at feral dogs (dingos, so-called American dingos, the middle east strays brought to the west with soldiers) they look very very similar, as if some fixed point of feral qualities is being approximated.

While a Husky and Malamute both clearly resemble a wolf, the vague fixed point of feral dogs that, across the world, look so very similar (vaguely like a yellow lab breed, but not quite), makes me question the wolf origin.

(I say that having invested career on the topic)

May be depending on Natural gas for everything in the name of climate change fighting isn't such a good goal. Now not only is coal not fully out, nuclear is dead/dying and solar, wind unreliable or unplanned for interms of integration into the grid and support of peak load.

Overall a perfect showcase of why activism in a lot of things end up hurting more than helping. And of course all this before whether we know or care how 'green' the renewables are in the first place as the equipment it self needs to be manufactured/mined/produced. Its the recycling debacle all over again.
You'd have to be a pretty bad manager to micromanage so hard that you're the reason someone's local repo is never broken...

This is a local issue that usually bites a new developer.

-

Sometimes you can search/ask for a fix, sometimes you realize in the time it took to find that fix you could have just made a new local copy.

I was a "productive developer" capable of solving real issues for a pretty long time before I was comfortable with "advanced Git", mostly from writing tooling with it.

And there are plenty of brilliant developers who never really get past the basics.

It seems pretty backwards that the tooling mainly meant for the background tasks like backing up and merging changes should be harder to master than the foreground tasks of actually building the stuff you put in Git...

> Something that cannot be tested is something that you cannot know if it works or not.

And sometimes that's okay. Suppose you are partnering with a SAAS to release their alpha API as their first client. Maybe don't bother writing too many mocks against the SAAS, because the API is likely to change really quickly. You cannot know if it works, and that's okay, because there is generally not an expectation that it should continue to work, even if you knew it worked today.
I dont have the data but it seems transportation is something that exponentially gets harder to solve the more resources you have.

Anecdotally, I live in a suburban area in a "developing" country. It was definitely not designed for people to live in - there are no small shops just a huge big chain store, barely any sidewalks and I havent seen any people just walking about. Every house seems to have about two cars. Outside the suburbs its the complete opposite. Roads are full of people milling about and kids playing cricket or soccer. Cars are second class citizens on the townships. First class citizens in the suburbs. Crazy.
The moderators sure aren't lazy, I meant the stakeholders one step removed.

They see the costs associated with content moderation as too steep given the intangible benefits of running said forum, and cut the entire thing altogether.

I'll revise my earlier post.
Yes I answered a sibling comment on front end code, I'll ask here again: doesn't browser code have tests that are run with nodejs?

And my build / CI machines generally run the tests too (though it's possible to separate the test runners from the build runners, I would not bet it's a very common thing).
It's not just that Wikipedia is vulnerable to human error just like anything else, it seems to be driven by activists. Larry Sanger, one of Wikipedia's co-founders, has been trying to warn people that his own creation has been bastardized.

I still use Wikipedia for pure STEM subjects, but beyond that, I wouldn't trust it.
Two weeks to slow the spread… that didn’t really do much and has just caused cascading problems that have caused innumerable other health effects.

For example, imagine many lower class families eating less healthy because food is more expensive. Or smoking more to reduce stress. Lockdowns look a lot less effective when external damage is considered at this point.
There are ways to grow good yields without tons of fertilizer. See Gabe Brown et al [1].

Nah, it's just a good example of value engineering making things cheaper by sacrificing value. Touchscreens didn't get so widely adopted because they worked well for tablets - they were because they're cheaper. You no longer need to account for a changing set of physical controls in designing the interior of a car - all you need is to designate where the magic rectangle goes, and all the rest of the UI work can be done independently, without interfering with labor-intensive processes.
One makes wonder. If someone was to make a meta publisher of other publishers, even anonymous ones they could monetize content that is libellous? And they couldn't be punished for the act?
Wow, you just somehow denigrated both 9/11 victims and drunk driving victims while attempting to defend the right to drive drunk. Congratulations.

I wonder if turning natural gas into fertilizer actually has a net decrease in CO2 from helping plants consume CO2?
I have a growing feeling that the dream of globalization is becoming a nightmare: shortage of natural resources, the difference in buy-power, the rize of global monopolies that are unstoppable... it's creating a greater gap and establishing even greater power dynamics.

I don't discard the benefits as well, like economic growth, ease of travel, etc... but I start to wonder if it's balanced at all.
Let's say someone who was able, and able to keep it quiet, was ordering the production of large amounts of new explosives... would that make a noticeable dent in the raw nitrates markets?
I'm glad you expanded on your previous answer. This is a take I've come to highly agree with. This even can apply to basic CRUD app work. For example, in a simple layered architecture that works like this:

[Controller] -> [Service] -> [Repository] -> Actual DB

I've found integration tests highly valuable at the Repository level. They've helped me not only catch bugs, but also guided me though migrating to a completely different DB. So, I am really happy with that choice. Unit test + mocks would have been of nearly zero value here.

I've found DB-isolated tests beneficial at the Controller and Service layers. But keeping the tests for these two layers separate was kinda silly. Ultimately I want to know that the controller + service yields the result the consumer wants. For the sake of validating the logic in these classes, why would it matter if it took path A or B? If I had put these tests together, the ration of tests to lines covered would've been way less, with a relatively minor impact on readability.
I think it'd be more likely to be "The Nathaniel White Incident" vs a biography but yeah I broadly agree.
Oh that's where i read that. Thanks!

I believe the point i made still stands though
