When 4/8chan came to raid the audacity fork I created, we also had huge problems getting rid of spammy issues.

There's only a feature in github to forbid issues being created by "new accounts" which means if the account is older than 48 hours, it can still spam the shit out of your organization. And good luck trying to keep up with hundreds of accounts simultaneously spamming comments with racist and harrassment content. And this feature only exists for organizations, not for public repos owned by a person.

The only alternative is to make the github orga only accessible to triage members or maintainers, which would kind of defeat the point of issue tracking and bug reports.

Things would be so much easier if GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket had an automoderation bot that does this for you, even a simple blocklist of words or syllables would decrease most of the spam.

As most of the chans/spammers use lurking accounts that they reactivate for that purpose, they're very easy to identify. Their email addresses used in git are always from the same providers, and they always use the same kind of language, same kind of avatars, same kind of grammar and questions avoiding the main topic. So it's easy to spot them via a simple ML trained model (bert or tacotron models could easily classify this). Probably even a seq2seq model would be enough.

But yeah, guess this was just my two cents that GitHub has a moderation problem.

> Lying about who you are and pretending that you are allowed a certain thing… I mean legally it’s not fraud but it sure feels like it!

I'm not aware of the details, but maybe there's an actual Victor Coutant from Nice on the research team. If not, what does it change? The point is precisely to study how a random person trying to defend their rights to privacy will be received/treated by hosts. You can't study that if you sign your emails with "Princeton privacy researcher".

> the mode of communication here is not super relevant to the action, right?

Exactly. Researchers will declare themselves as such before conducting interviews, but they'll rarely hesitate to take notes or ask a simple question as part of a field study.

I mean if you're not happy this researcher is doing their job to investigate how corporate America mistreats people's data privacy rights, i'd be happy to be the person sending tons of pseudonymous automated emails and handing them over to a researcher. Would that change something for you?!
>everytime there is a discussions about shells on UNIX, an ad to powershell comes in.

The gp (Paul) is not "advertising Powershell" and he's not recommending people switch to it.

Instead, he's saying that it's strange that an academic paper talking about future concepts doesn't even have a cursory survey of what other popular shells have done.

Here's an example of that style of writing where other platform technologies are mentioned: Joshua Bloch is a ex-Sun employee and Java advocate proposing new syntax for Automatic Resource Management and in his note, he mentions what C# and C++ did: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/coin-dev/2009-Februar...

It shouldn't have to be said that citing C# & C++ does not mean it's an "ad for C#".

When a new 2021 paper about future of shells has no mention of zsh, Powershell, etc by the authors, it's reasonable for readers to wonder if the team has overlooked what others have done. E.g. Powershell was designed by ex-UNIX admins.

Nothing changed. Of course the aim of vaccination campaigns is to reduce harm.

FYI, Moto G Power is a $200 phone with a battery that lasts 2-3 days.

It's the best phone I've ever had.

With a 512GB SD card, and a built-in fat battery, I never have to worry about running out either of storage or power. It's liberating.

And the camera is good enough that the storage does fill up.
I think falsifying your user agent would be critical. Even with e.g. Mullvad how many requests will it take until one is deanonymized? Let's say I'm using a crowded VPN exit, still I can be profiled based on my user agent, the vpn IP and my requests. All it'd take them to connect the dots, would be me openning my apps/browser tabs on my phone/laptop/device without VPN for a second.
That was not the topic of discussion. If you think that outcome is better, why not advocate for less friction towards it?

That hasn't stopped Germany announcing new restrictions on visitors from the UK from tonight. Notably tests in the UK are free and the public are encouraged to do 2-3 tests per week, versus Germany where tests were up until recently chargeable, and there is a shortage of test kits. Makes you wonder whether the difference in cases between the two is really that stark.
> Among the 81 cases, the most common symptoms were cough (83%), followed by runny/stuffy nose (78%), fatigue/lethargy (74%), sore throat (72%), headache (68%) and fever (54%)

Sounds like the symptoms of a typical cold. I guess most of us will get this one in the next year or two, oh well. Interesting case study, though- I find these analyses of outbreaks in common situations to be the most useful information about this stuff.
Not even true in the frame you're attempting to talk about it: the vaccines were touted to stop transmission up until August 2021 or so, when people realized they didn't and started backsliding into touting the protection of the healthcare system. Also, what a bizarre sidestep of the actual issue being talked about: vaccine passes.

Nah, world is more complex then that. Any shit like this, claiming it knows how to simplify complex human behavior is meaningless.

Both article, and bunch of comments here are useless simplification of real life. While you should make things simple, you should not make them simpler then possible because then they are just wrong.
I had it relating to images in ECR, and similarly spent a while hunting them down. They were in my account, but surely the email could've told me which region, or even linked them directly!
> If the vaccine doesn't significantly stop the spread of the disease

Multiple studies show that vaccinated people have significantly lower transmission than unvaccinated.

> In studies conducted before the emergence of the Delta variant, data from multiple studies in different countries suggested that people vaccinated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines who develop COVID-19 generally have a lower viral load than unvaccinated people.(157, 165-169) This observation may indicate reduced transmissibility, as viral load has been identified as a key driver of transmission.(170) Studies from multiple countries found significantly reduced likelihood of transmission to household contacts from people infected with SARS-CoV-2 who were previously vaccinated for COVID-19.(171-176) For the Delta variant, early data indicate vaccinated and unvaccinated persons infected with Delta have similar levels of viral RNA and culturable virus detected, indicating that some vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 may be able to transmit the virus to others.(163, 164, 177-180) However, other studies have shown a more rapid decline in viral RNA and culturable virus in fully vaccinated people (96, 177, 180-182). One study observed that Delta infection in fully vaccinated persons was associated with significantly less transmission to contacts than persons who were unvaccinated or partially vaccinated.(181) Together, these studies suggest that vaccinated people who become infected with Delta have potential to be less infectious than infected unvaccinated people.

At work I use the macOS Desktop edition of Outlook for my work O365 account and I've found searching to be pretty good and quite fast. I'm pretty sure it just searches the local cache hence the speed. It's pretty good at suggesting email addresses when I type someones name so I can usually quickly find emails from a certain person just by typing the first characters of their name and pressing return when it finds the correct address.
That would be the least bad outcome given an already miserable pandemic. How omicron pans out in reality will depend on the balance between increased rate of spread and decreased severity. Hospitals could still be overwhelmed if the balance tips in the wrong direction.
You can get Moto G Power with a 2-day battery life[1], and it's not even thick.

It was self reported testing before a Christmas party.

Few people have done any test like that in Scandinavia and willingness to lie about taking it is pretty high in my experience.
I'm reading that and I can already see things that require me to think hard about whether it might apply.

> any of the following

OK

> Buy, receive, or sell the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents,

"receive" and "50,000" seem like a low bar if the definition of "personal" includes anything caught in typical web logging.

You see? It's not clear cut from reading the thing you just said was very clear and it's hard to be 100% sure it doesn't apply.

"For profit" and "business" and similarly wide nets. Business can include individual sole traders and "profit" could be "accepting donations" or "running AdWords"
> It's obviously implying a threat if you're at all familiar with the legal sphere.

And if you're not a lawyer it's just a very normal message of someone trying to get answers and have their privacy rights respected. I've both sent and received many messages like this one over the years (CNIL requests) and there's nothing frightening about it.

> Talk about failing to meet even baseline ethical standards.

This study certainly meets my ethical standard of trying to hold corporations accountable to what they do with out data. I really don't see what the fuss is about: if freeradical.zone admin had received this email from anyone else (as could well be the case) would we even talk about it?
Pre-omicron the vaccines were significantly slowing the spread of the disease. Post-omicron boosters are required to reach similar efficacy.
This looks very interesting - thanks for developing/posting.

Would it be feasible to allow different domains to be used - maybe for a fee?
Thanks for your hints!
That's not fair at all! At least not to the major audiophile magazines, here in Germany, or such a prestigious publication like "The Stereophile". Just two examples:

Every one's experiences are different but i just switched from GrubHub because their drivers are assholes. door dash has been much better already
I contacted grub hub about the problem but don't expect much acknowledgement. They did refund a dinner that was stolen pretty much instantly and comped me for a next meal for the troubles atleast. But that was just one good resolution over a number of instances where drivers simply don't give a fuck
The microaggression response team is not the proper channel here.
I agree. Rust is not the right language for this, unless performance is the #1 concern (but mostly it is not).

I'm looking forward to have something like Linux written in Rust though.
Especially since this kind of software also use any kind of imperfection in the simulated world..
Rapid antigen tests have a relatively high rate of false negatives.
If people want to write things in Rust, let them write things in Rust.

Hanging out at community Discord I see that there are a lot of new guys, students. They just want to experiment, and I am all for it.

Yes, maybe it's not the most efficient thing from "business perspective", but maybe, eventually something new and exciting will come out of it.

Programming is evolving, we had a lot of the same functionality available in older languages, using older paradigms, but eventually those stay in the past for a reason.

I'm staying open minded and I am excited for the future.
No, stay calm. Here in South Africa the spread is higher than in any other wave and we also have very low percentages of vaccinations. But even so hospitalizations and deaths have been negligible.

When hospitalized it's usually only for a quick stay, and deaths are basically at the same levels as for flu.

The hope now is that it really spreads and becomes even milder, while protecting against the more deadly strains by displacing them.
Before Omicron, South Africa had COVID under control with very little measures and a low vaccination rate. The only reasonable explanation is that a large fraction of the population has already been infected and acquired immunity that way. This means that data from South Africa is probably not a good measure for how dangerous Omicron is for people without prior immunity.
You may be right, but I don't think we should compare ourselves to Japan, or cite them as an example in discussions about economics. Japan's priorities are totally different to most countries. They prefer to work hard at preserving the status quo, than chasing growth and change. Japan has many businesses that are hundreds, even thousands of years old, and still selling the same stuff. Many of these businesses have the same goal; to survive the next 50 years with 2% growth p.a.
Germany just announced a travel ban for people coming from the UK.

Which seems quite late to me as a layperson, almost a week after Omicron became predominant...
Isn't Nix and Guix definition the same? And you just have to include the non-free on both?
There's not convincing data that this is any better for vaccinated people than Delta.

They're just more likely to get it.

In neither case were vaccinated people highly likely to get hospitalized, ventilated, or die.

In no world should we be celebrating people getting sick. Omicron is resistant to previous infection. It will likely mutate into something resistant to previous infection to itself.

It's good vaccinated people aren't dying. We still shouldn't cheerlead them getting Covid.
QE actually reduces the amount of money flowing in the economy, not increases it.

What it is is an exchange of assets that pay, say, 2.5% for once that pay federal funds rate. That's a net reduction in income for banks.

QE is just an assets swap attempting to reshape the longer term yield curve that hasn't been pulled down by setting rates near zero. It's got nothing to do with 'injecting money'.

For that you need to look at the fiscal flow data: spending less taxes.
For people to have a vague idea, relatively cheap lawyers in the US charge upwards from $300-500/hour and you have no control of how many hours they'll log in.
For these things, languages with gc should really be used.
> Who knows if it is just a moment of enthusiasm, and how long will it last?

This is one big problem for me, too. I don’t think those young kids have any clear idea on what they are doing. I’ve seen the same thing happening with Python in the past. Heck, I remember some kids who went far enough to use python as their default shell. Such enthusiasm, but pointless. It took almost 10 years since the beginning of the Python hype until it actually dethroned Java.

Same for Rust. It does have a fine edge - I’m tbh excited a little - but that’s just it. Rust taking over the world? It will only after people got tired of calling it cool.
That definition would forbid any kind of "call to action" communication, would it?

Debates are all and good, but at some point, a decision has to be reached. Especially for a problem like the current pandemic, this unfortunately involves calls for every individual to radically change their behaviour. That fits the definition of "agenda" pretty well.

So if any "any communication that is calculated to further an agenda" is forbidden, how would you fight the pandemic?

For buffering, since there might be a network hiccup sometime in the future. But generally also a better user experience if the user wants to skip a few seconds/minutes forward.

And I guess the bandwidth required also depends on the video bit rate/format/compression ratio, so you need to implement a lot of smarts to make sure you don't serve something too slow or too fast, and still people would be able to download the video, albeit at a slower speed. So, basically, it's not worth it.

Reduce transmission. Nobody serious ever said they would stop transmissions because they were found not to during their testing last year.
I work in Education and I have to admit things are just easier in the Apple ecosystem. Things like AirPlay and AirDrop etc are lifesavers for many of the less tech-inclined staff in schools who can actually manage to use these (and other) tools. It's not just about websites and apps--there are accessible QOL features macOS offers that simply aren't present or are packaged up in a non-obvious way in ChromeOS or Windows.
There's a big difference between:

* one honest email

* thousands or millions, sent under false pretenses

There are two differences:

1) I'm allowed to cold call you. I'm not allowed to set up a robot to place millions of automated phone calls.

2) If I lie, I may have a problem. Someone runs up to your home and yells that your house is on fire, and you believe them. You jump out of a second-story window, breaking your windows and your legs. They do it in a stunt for TikTok. Who do you think is liable?

A third difference is IRBs. The right place to handle this are complaints to OMB; Princeton should lose federal funding here.
Hospital system collapse is the most pessimistic outcome. Hospitals have spent the past two years not bulking up their personnel and infrastructure, so I don't think even the medical industry earnestly considers that a serious threat. The most realistic worse case scenario is the unvaccinated get triaged out of the hospital system.
Who would be better sources? Other entities don't care or are already bought for by this mafia. Also, i encourage you to take a read at the actual material: it's solid despite what you may think of such organizations.

If it can reassure you, i'm also very skeptical of greens and greenpeace because they've been corrupted/coopted by big business over the years and don't stand for actual ecology (degrowth/anticapitalism) anymore. Such reports is one of the few instances of them still doing a good job on specific issues, so i thought taking these serious sources instead of more radical material would take us closer to an understanding.
I will go with the simpler explanation of video hosting and content moderation being expensive, and needing deep expertise in selling ads online in order to make any money on it.

Vimeo has been around since 2004 catering to businesses, who are far likelier to be paying customers requiring much smaller expenses for content moderation, and still does not earn a profit.
I did not overlook the devaluation of the product in the title, which can only be a result: "Snake Oil". This is why I said: "No measurements AND no experience." But he came to a conclusion: It's snake-oil. Unprofessional.

I use youtube-dl for my cloud backup routine.

The only YouTube account feature I really use is playlists. I threw all of those in a bat file and ytdl downloads them for me into different folders whenever I start it.

Many videos I've downloaded this way aren't available on YouTube anymore. It's definitely worth it.
A ledger of possession is certainly a much better model than a ledger of ownership, but it still falls a bit short because frequently when dealing with more abstract kinds of property than a literal physical object, like intangible property (intellectual property, mineral rights), immovable property (land, water sources), or property in the actual possession of a custodial third party (money in a bank account, a company in the care of the board of directors), a court order can change possession, since there's less distinction between possession and ownership of these less concrete forms of property.

So it's fair to say that a blockchain can serve as a ledger of possession of those things that are themselves on the blockchain, but not of any thing that is external to the blockchain.
Why would they do that when they can just make sure yt-dlp/youtube-dl doesn't work all together. :)
No need to ban users who download content, just ban the service itself (ban as in build roadblocks to deny the downloader service access to your content).
Just curios does it have NFC and Google Pay?
A lot of stuff will disappear from YouTube even after 12 months, let alone 5-10 years. If you want to archive your favourite videos then downloading is the only option.
It also has a "skip to highlight" button that skips to the meat of the video and saves you 98% of its time.
I'm not cheer-leading vaccinated people getting it, I'm cheer-leading unvaccinated people getting it, conditional on it not being bad enough to hospitalize them.
