What you are proposing are what I think would be called a security theater.

It gives the illusion of security, but they would absolutely not deter a determined threat actor.

The only reason that the water supply isn't poisoned is it's unpractical for a single person to conduct the whole exploit chain: Construct the poison in enough quantities, gain access to facilities supplying the water, and actually throwing the compound in it. It's unpractical even for "underground" types. Especially the quantities required.

Mathematics and computer science is a different story in my opinion. You cannot restrict science or thought. You can try, but good luck. The most you can do is delay it. If there is an attack that enables someone to flip a Tesla on the road (as suggested below), the security theater will hide the attack from common folk, but determined actors will reach it eventually, and at that point, they can deploy it as they wish. And in contrast to the water plant, the logistical endeavor to exploit it is absolutely easy in comparison: slap a sticker on your vehicle.

Security by obscurity or by theater is rarely a good strategy in my opinion. We should absolutely be transparent about these kind of things, and allow researchers full access to develop attacks against these systems, and effectively communicate when they are found.
This is what's crazy. I assumed two things would logically happen in the year or two after Let's Encrypt went live. Firstly, bulk hosts would all either negotiate a very cheap bulk deal with a for-profit CA, or they'd go to Let's Encrypt. That mostly happened, eventually, but there are some hold-outs still, years later. Secondly, all the TLS capable servers, but especially HTTPS would just throw this in as part of the core system.

Nope, Caddy is one of a minority that put more than a token effort in, a few others have some optional functionality, that you could choose to use if you know what you're doing, most did nothing, relying on you to roll a Certbot script or whatever to manage the certificates.

I figured corporate products, maybe Microsoft tools, stuff like that, might prefer to provide SCEP or any of the half a dozen mechanisms for certificate issuance that pre-dated ACME (what Let's Encrypt does) but lack the actual proof-of-control mechanism. You can imagine Big Corp decides to have a central ACME service doing DNS proof-of-control and then it uses say SCEP internally to issue the certificates to its own servers. That didn't really happen either.

The situation outside web servers is even worse. SQL Servers, SMTP† and IMAP, IRC, and so on, can't do this as easily as Caddy does, but few of them even made a token effort. I don't have much faith in the "efficient market" hypothesis, but if you're a server admin and you believe in it this ought to really shake you. Apparently you value your own time at zero dollars.

† SMTP is a special case. In principle a CA could (but Let's Encrypt don't) allow you to do proof-of-control via SMTP because it uses one of the ports set aside for proof of control purpose in the Baseline Requirements. So you could imagine a CA offering a new ACME proof-of-control method say smtp-69 that meant suitable mail servers would just get themselves certificates, no extra software. But that is not a thing. Other services like IRC or indeed IMAP are not covered by the BRs and so you could not do this for those servers without a lengthy and political process to amend the BRs first.
Hmm, but why does the Amazon need to be constantly re-fertilised? Where does it lose that phosphorus?

EDIT: ah, rain seems to leach it away from the amazon basin over time. Still wonder where it all goes though, into the sea?
>If you really want to post about how vaccines make your blood cells broadcast 5G radio wave

oh, that's a great example, actually. as far as I vaguely recall from the times before the pandemic, expressing skepticism or criticism towards the government and corporations was not against the rules.

>Twitter's rules enforcement is historically EXTREMELY casual

yes - for the privileged class, twitter does indeed "let some of that slide".
"Adversarial" communication with a CV model inference process isn't necessarily an attack because it is unintended by the humans associated with the process. It is more akin to using the full range of an API that uses radiation instead of a network port. It could be used to stage a protest by stopping or slowing cars on a freeway or call attention to deteriorating infrastructure by inducing the car to go over potholes instead of avoiding them. Maybe a neighborhood could self-implement traffic calming measures that don't apply to emergency vehicles.
It is strange talking about overproduction when large part of the world is hungry.

They won't open source it but I imagine they will allow you to run a version of it inside your corporate firewall, at a premium price, just like their 'Code With Me' server.
Advertising is placed into the feed, but it doesn't determine it. You still get what you like and engage with the most.
I subscribe to multiple high-sub-count YouTube channels that post videos about guns on a regular basis. Are you referring to their rules about violent/explicit content? That is absolutely not a subject matter ban like 'you can't discuss guns' and the facts don't support a claim that they ban guns.

YouTube's rules enforcement for videos is notoriously bad and has been forever, but that doesn't change their actual policies.
The Mac in the video does have a happy little icon when it boots up...
I appreciate this level of blatant obviousness. It is wildly thought provoking. Someone might take this flat statement as being antagonistic, but these 5 words are exactly the point!

You're right, HN is a social medium. It suffers from many of the same issues as Twitter. Much of the negativity and positivity it creates is similar to what I can see on Twitter. Perhaps that's the human condition "at scale"?

I think somehow, for the time being, the audience and size of HN is "okay" and most of the devils haven't leapt out of their lightly corked bottles just yet within the community.
I am very thankful for librivox. I have listened to "Heretics", "Orthodoxy", and "Against Eugenics and Other Evils" by G.K. Chesterton. I've also listened to some works of St. Patrick read by librivox contributors, quality has been very high (exceptional when you consider that it was all for free).
I think the term has been around since the 80s.
That's how it should feel at a well run company.

It happens when the CEO has put out any fires before they've grown big.

Or possibly when, by dumb luck, the organization runs well without any such interventions.

They already have a start - they push following categories. So presumably they are categorizing individual tweets into these categories. It should be feasible to both provide finer-grain categories, and tooling to include/exclude how those intersect with those accounts one is following.
Sorry, don't mean to be condescending or dismissive. Just trying to get stuff done. To do that, I'll need that information.
It ain't hard to get a bunch of image files for a manga and then pack them into a PDF with a Python script. I am going to use the PDF reader on the tablet anyway to read other documents, why install another (probably) badly written app.

(e.g. there is a word that starts with "cr" and ends with "ap" and it's no accident. I had to try about 6 different QR code reader apps to find one that didn't crash on launch on my Samsung tablet.)

It's pretty straight forward, a nutrient bath kept at a super high pH (~10) so that nothing but the spirulina will grow. My main complaint is that spirulina's ideal growth temperature is around 82F, so you need to run aquarium heaters and air pumps (to introduce CO2). That being said spirulina can live between 20-35C (68-95F), and dies above 38C (100F). I was never sure if the electricity usage was worth the output. I'd like to revisit the whole setup with more passive heating/cooling.
Ah, so you essentially take the existing stereo mix -> force it to mono -> play the new mono feed in both ears? That's an interesting idea...

I feel like this should be relatively easy to replicate with VAC (https://vb-audio.com/Cable/) and Audacity, if the player doesn't support it natively.

> People will not rush into a road full of cars going on the other way, it doesn't matter what the signs say.

You might want to watch the one-way roads in big cities. It happens a lot more often than you assume.

It also is (usually) self-correcting: oncoming traffic will honk, stop, or move around. The offender will (usually) realize their mistake and try to correct.

Sometimes, though, that's not enough. Searching "killed in wrong way one way" on DDG (or assumably Google) yields many (!) news stories.

Winamp has a built-in function to double the pixels, so it's actually quite usable on 4K as-is.
Interesting! I don't really relate to those definitions - furious and jealous don't seem similar to me, nor do infuriated and annoyed seem particularly similar - but thanks for the explanation.
To be fair I think it’s more unofficial capture by those in power. There is a gun at this point at Facebook and Twitters head by super powerful people (including journalists) to get them to comply or else…

I think Silicon Valley made a major misjudgement thinking geeks with products with billions of people won’t be taken over by politicians with decades of power game experience. It’s not even a fair game. These are literally the biggest power players in the world, Zuckerberg and Dorsey didn’t stand a chance.

It’s not that I don’t care about security but I use old kernels locally, and with a small arm device I don’t expect them to run android apps, but they’re also old devices so I understand why that matters for new ones, and if you use it as a phone it would be disastrous. Since it’s intranet with a secure router it protects my insecure devices.
There are other industries beside "code fast, break things often and let the user test it". In some industries a test not done on time or skipped can cost later a lot of money.
Perhaps things had started to slide sideways before that? I distinctly remember a period of time, I think nearly a decade back, when I'd constantly hear about something on NPR and think, "I saw that headline on reddit yesterday! Are they even trying!?"
OP is spot on. There’s a big reason we use corn for so much more than food today. We over produce it.

Do you think in normal years we'll still keep classroom windows open in the middle of flu season? Even in temperate California, the costs to classroom comfort and running HVAC to try and overcome outdoor temperatures is ridiculous.

Good modern buildings are being built with more ventilation and heat recovery built in. Taking this over windows that open can be a reasonable trade. Yes, on the pandemic axis, many of these buildings may be a little worse than a classroom with a whole long wall of opening windows.
Yeah, this is definitely true. It's not worth much time or money on design early on. You just need something credible -- sometimes we joke about the idea of "Minimum Viable Branding (MVB)", like an MVP. We think Parade gets you there.
Middle management certainly aren't, that's true, but CEOs often are, or will soon join that group due to their income. It's true that preferential treatment for the C-suite is more a second-order effect, though. A mechanism by which favors are exchanged among and between capitalists, both as a high-tier reward for good servants, and deliberate leverage of the principal agent problem to capture more value personally for those with connections. A CEO can make choices that aren't necessarily the best for their company, but do scratch someone important's back or get them a personal favor of a similar sort elsewhere—see also: board members.

So, both because these positions are sometimes occupied by full-on capitalists (who will accept very few restrictions on their behavior) and because, when that's not the case, they're occupied by people who are being rewarded by capital (often for nepotistic reasons) they have much greater freedom than those lower down the org chart.

I do think this is a general behavior of class systems—and so, probably any large human organization—however, and not particular to capitalism, and certainly there are better-off and worse-off classes in term of norms and treatment by society, short of the capitalist class (as Fussell observes in Class, with his "mid-proles" subject to close monitoring, tight restrictions on time, drug testing, and other humiliations, while his upper-middle drinks on the job, has their own office with no-one watching what they do, would be outraged at having to submit to piss tests, and cuts out early for golf without consequence).

In this case the name just happens to tell us, very directly, who's on top of the pyramid. Not like other systems that may try to obscure who's the most-favored group.

If you are trying to make my car go over potholes without my consent, or in any way do something that I don't want it to, that is adversarial behavior. You are my adversary.
Agricultural output is usually per unit of land and/or inputs, so more output means less land, less pollution, and less ecological damage for a fixed amount of food produced. If some fields can be reforested instead, it'd pull carbon out of the air and increase biodiversity.
Just don't connect it to the network or agree to any of the license clickthroughs, it can't do things behind your back then. HDMI and the RF tuner can still work fine.
Indeed. The final step is learning fine grained personal preference informed (but not entirely) by those coarser categories.
Man, the money they sent is not possible to preserve 1% of Amazon, they sent some millions expecting we would preserve a forest with the size of Europe.

If the world pays $100 per hectare it would be $50 billion/year sent to Brazil. This would make some difference, not the pennies sent here eventually.

You guys really don't know the reality of Amazon, nor the politicians there, and many here as well.
To sum it up: Most worthwhile twitter follows are a mini publishing house in disguise. They talk about a few things, regularly, but aren't using twitter to shoot the shit with friends.

This is the exact opposite of how twitter felt in the beginning – a massively global IRC chatroom for people to shoot the shit.

As a student, I have a desktop at one of my parents' house that I can control over ssh, this kind of features make remote development much easier and is often needed when I run an intensive task for hours. The experience with VSCode over ssh is really great. Some have pointed out local VMs, which is another use for this.
Your headline talks to me a lot.

I am a software engineer and the design part is always a big problem for me, until a friend and ex-colleague of mine arrives.
I do this too. I don't block people based on their politics because I don't want to be in a bubble, but I do block people that make bad faith arguments. Unfortunately, that means I end up in a bit of a bubble because so many folks of a particular political persuasion love to make bad faith arguments.
I think it would have so much visual affect on the engineer's computer screen that it will be close to watching an esport event.

With hackathons I could see that the actual coding gets cut a lot (insert A-Team garage build montage) so the preparation, team building, occasional sound bits, and then final presentation is left.
Technically, there's no taxonomic group for trees. Palms are grasses too but are considered trees. Though I suppose bamboo doesn't fit into the concept of what a tree is depending on how one looks at it.

> Why do people believe it is good to say organic food or pure water?

A substantial portion of that answer is "ignorance plus marketing". People believe in ghosts for similar reasons.

Yes, they are.
I think this is originally a trucker thing, and I've seen it many times from truckers in the US. I've used it myself when someone is courteous and lets me in.
Yes, I do. My dad has SLL, with a ridiculous risk of mortality should he be exposed. Yes, he's fully vaccinated, but the amount of protection he can expect from the vaccine is dubious.

Further bounding the risk of me getting exposed by a student (ventilation + masking) lets me both see my elderly father and continue to teach. I don't financially need to teach, and as much as I find it rewarding, I'm not willing to take a large risk of killing family members to do it.

Yes, that's why I covered mitigations in the paragraphs you ignored.

>You could (and probably would) argue that the problems described in TFA arise from the political control [...]

No, I explicitly rejected that argument in my original post. In fact, the very next sentence after the one you quoted says this:

>But we can't expect that construction to materialize where the market isn't convinced it's necessary, simply because it would meet our social objectives.

This is why I don't bother arguing. People don't even read what you said.

Another thing that baffles me is the need to mention energy usage along with anything related to crypto. The complaint about energy usage is a normative claim that these technologies don’t deserve to use the energy they do, which is fine, but then it’s never backed up by an actual argument for why they don’t.

Additionally, this is a standard I don’t see applied to anything else that could be reasonably argued to be on the same level of “dumb” as anti-crypto people claim crypto is. Let’s see the same scrutiny of energy usage applied to every TikTok ever made. Let’s see it applied to the training of massive ML recommender systems that serve no purpose but to better target ads (this is one I have seen from some folks, but nowhere near as much as I’ve seen outrage over crypto energy usage). If someone says “well yeah, but at least those recommender systems have value, which crypto doesn’t!”, sorry, but value for whom? Certainly not users.

I’m disappointed that even on HN, there’s pushback against individual creators of digital content trying to capture some of the value they create. Individuals simply don’t have the resources to use the legal system to go after anonymous people online who steal their work, and they shouldn’t be expected to just give it away for free. So other solutions need to be tried, and NFTs are maybe one potential solution.
Suggestion: go sell something new to people. figure out what they will buy, won't buy, what they are paid for, what they believe.

I've worked in ag-tech and I think that long-term sustained contact with decision makers for growing operations will be much more revealing than R&D budgets.

You are arguing that people "should" pay based on value.

This is a competitive market. There are reasonable alternatives. Cost to switch is low. Economics 101 (literally that class!) says that the price in that situation is going to be based on competition (for the companies/producers that survive), and the price of the competition is $0.

(It's actually not, you're paying with slightly less personal data for Firefox than the alternatives, and there are substantial externalities like the effects of monoculture, but none of that is going to change the big picture.)

Not only are you not going to get a critical mass of people willing to pay, but also those who are willing to pay will feel massively entitled, and will abandon your product when it changes in any way they don't like.

The only way to make it work would be to provide some value that cannot be replicated by competitors, in order to add switching costs and reduce the fidelity of alternatives. And for that to be relevant to Mozilla, it must also be compatible with the mission of an open web.

Good luck with that.
I could get behind some more restrictions on websites of a certain size, but putting any burden on brand-new web site owners beyond urgently dealing with problematic content is too much of a burden. It just acts as a moat for powerful incumbents, and they have far too deep moats as it is.
There's a fair amount of motivation to find a reason to believe it's a "the good out weighs the bad" situation. For starters they're making incredible amounts of money and then there's the desire to not think you're doing something bad.
Add me the the list of people who thought you were exaggerating about how bad the website was and then immediately noticed how it made my browser stutter.
