There is saying or idea or something, I don't remember how it's called, but the gist of it is down to that you are always going be more extreme when those closest to you go out of line. A religion can tolerate and live peacefully around other people that are part of a different religion but if a heretic group starts blooming in the midst, things are going to get ugly really fast.

It's sort of the same with politics. You expect more from countries you see as sharing most of our cultural values. That's one of the reasons Israel for example is criticized much more than worst human rights offenders.

To me this is less about log4j, and more about giving everything root.

> The AWS account takeover was possible because a highly privileged IAM role had been assigned to the EC2 instance running the vulnerable Docker container app

The mistakes are, in order:

1. Binding an administrator IAM role to an EC2 instance, which is never ever a good thing to do, and

2. Running a docker container with full root privs - docker is not as much a security barrier as you think it is - it's only slightly better than running the application as root on the VM itself.

So yes, the log4j vulnerability is dangerous, but not nearly as dangerous as running everything as root all the time.
Believe it or not, the social part of our society finds there to be something coercive about Hobson's choices. Something about people not existing purely to be grist for your ideological mill? Shocking, I know, but, well, it is what it is.

That social part of our society has cottoned onto the idea that for the poor among us the game is rigged--and that it is not merely rigged but it is being played such that the information necessary to know about the choices to get out of it show up far too late to be of use, or not at all.

And while that is speaking of a just government, and ours is frequently unjust--sometimes it gets something right.
Not so weird. Here's a random example, from Wikipedia:

> The formal ethics of research on humans requires informed consent of participants.

How do you explain research on placebos then?
Whenever someone speaks in lofty ideals it's always important to get them to be specific about what those ideals look like in practice, and be specific about what they're looking for.

"Subversion of the consent of the governed" can be anywhere from "making the kids smoke cigarettes at recess" to "teaching the works of MLK Jr. even though it makes local parents uncomfortable".

The classic example of this is the whole "states' rights" canard re: the American Civil War. The states' rights to what, exactly?

People often defend the hard-to-defend by talking in generalities and appealing to abstractions. The real test of the idea is if you can defend it both generally and specifically.

I haven’t been to China but I grew up in post communist Europe.

A concept unfamiliar to westerners are “open secrets”. Things that everyone knows, everyone talks about with each other, and never get mentioned in any official capacity. If someone asks with a camera, the answer is whatever it needs to be. If an official asks in the line of duty, the answer is the correct answer. If the same person asks as a friend 3 hours later, you both talk shit.

Kinda like schoolyard rules. We can be fighting to the death to the death but if a teacher asks, we’re best friends having fun together.
> Last month, the California Teachers Association (CTA) held a conference advising teachers on best practices for subverting parents, conservative communities and school principals on issues of gender identity and sexual orientation. Speakers went so far as to tout their surveillance of students’ Google searches, internet activity, and hallway conversations in order to target sixth graders for personal invitations to LGBTQ clubs, while actively concealing these clubs’ membership rolls from participants’ parents.

This sure sounds like a lot more than "telling our kids that racism is bad".
You literally said any.

But I’m still stuck on why. What is the point in getting yourself involved in something that doesn’t affect you personally? Why is it worth getting yourself involved with someone else’s self governance?
When you have virtually unlimited resources you can do almost anything you want. You just have to think outside of the box. If this truly was an emergency, we'd have found a way to staff covid ICU's. Dunno how because it ain't my expertise at all, but there would be a way.

We managed to build giant ships in like 3 or 6 months in WWII. I'm pretty sure we could figure out how to staff 400 or so ICU's with people capable of managing sick covid patients. It might be all these people know how to do... but we could do it. We have almost unlimited resources to do so.
I think it's clear he's referring to the fact that natural immunity has protected most of South Africa and thus, the world is freaking out over Omicron. As was suggested by a doctor in South Africa at the very beginning, which was ignored by governments. Of course, excuses for the South African data not aligning with the whole "vaccines are the only answer" narrative are now being created.
I wonder how many of these increasing share variants you would expect to observe from just random walk. I.e. how much more infectious does a strain need to be to be measurable.

There is no doubt CCP made infrastructure a priority, and did 10X better than the west socializing countries as a whole, but if you curse Xi just for fun on any street for 3 minutes you will be in jail quickly without access to attorneys. When you have absolutely zero individual rights where it is needed the most, you will miss your Germany dearly.
You would be handing over full political and military control to a group of individuals, with no way of taking it back. If those individuals turn out to perform as well as the current Chinese leaders, you would be ahead. If they turn out to perform more like the past Chinese leaders, you would be behind. Over the past 5,000 years, China got it more wrong than right, which is the only reason that they haven't been the undisputed world leader with the highest GDP, which is where they belong given their vast human and natural resources.

Democracy was never meant to be as efficient as a dictatorship. In fact, inefficiency is baked in by design to hedge against bad leadership (at the cost of good leaders having their potential impact massively reduced). Think of democracy as a political system with an expensive but effective insurance policy.

It really isn’t - it’s been a part of many Native (north&south) American cultures forever.
The American media is attempting to frame China as worth of fighting over Taiwan by demarcating it as exceptionally evil by demonstrating that it does things that no acceptable country would do. Unfortunately for that argument, usually the US is doing something more exceptional and extreme than the demonstrated behavior.
Yes, I think it's a mix of Biodiesel and wood stoves. Not sure why the rape seed production wouldn't count into the biomass production then. It makes sense that you see private-only things like wood stoves only on the consumption side.

I think another factor is that private sector (heavy industry) production of energy (with private coal plants etc) probably doesn't count into the production side either.
>"The classic example of this is the whole "states' rights" canard re: the American Civil War. The states' rights to what, exactly?"

The states have rights according to the tenth amendment (the last amendment in the 'Bill of Rights'):

Majorly editorialized title for a link to the position posting. IIUC that's not OK by the site guidelines.
It amuses me that the adverb "illegally" is important to include in that sentence.
TLDR; The author (Kris Nova) found that a photographer who owned the copyright on a picture taken of her was put up for an NFT.

In other words, the photographer, who owned the copyright on a picture of the author (Kris Nova), minted an NFT on opensea.io. It sounds like Kris Nova was a bit shocked but ultimately, tentatively, supportive.

This might be hard for you to believe, but there are a lot of people who have genuine and consistent empathy for needless suffering, no matter where it happens. You might not hear from us much online, because we often get crushed under the relentless cynicism your comment chillingly embodies.
I see what you mean, but it is only evident when you actually know of RF as a political entity. It's not as evident when they operate under localised brands posing as "just small local news".

In Russia RF's news outlets were the ones who resisted the foreign funded media explicit labeling regulations the most and were the slowest to comply and start labeling their content explicitly.

What I mean is their degree of transparency is quite debatable and raises some red flags.
Of course, but it seems like the gap between what is physically possible and what has been demonstrated is pretty large when it comes to aircraft. Has anyone made a specific argument that Lilium violates the laws of physics?

> network effects

Unless you have a true captive market or some crazy sales-focused enterprise business, you can't get network effects without first achieving that critical mass of users more or less on your product's own merits, and if your software is shitty and/or pointless then you are not going to get there.

> Lots of users complain about it

Discord has like 200M+ MAUs, so of course "lots" of users complain about it.

> But it's strange and pointless to just praise Electron apps for a minimum of sketchy practices if you don't.

I'm not praising them for any such thing—I was just calling out the fact that most consumer software these days is abusive, so we have to be careful to speak about abuse in relative terms. I don't think Electron "apps" are on average better or worse, and if (looking at data) they did turn out to be better or worse in this regard then I would attribute that to the widespread adoption of Electron "apps" in certain market segments that tend toward abuse, rather than some inherent property of the framework that encourages it.

In other words, the baseline for modern consumer software is to abuse the user, and I don't believe there is some inherent property of Electron that encourages (or discourages) that trend.

>focusing optics on it.

Basically. Western reporting trying to overindex PRC influence campaigns as part of manufacturing consent has gotten so bad that useful idiots in the west start to reflexively accuse 50C everywhere. And brainwashed enough to genuinely believe it. Official 50C operates domestically, not abroad. Even then, 50c posting is characterized by spamming low effort platitudes instead of high effort engagement. PRC isn't wasting valuable human capita with English proficiency to argue/troll on platforms like HN or Reddit. Millions sympathetic to PRC opinions like diaspora / VPN users do that on their own free time. To date, PRC influence campaigns are limited to a hundreds / low thousands of accounts boosting discourse of official accounts on Twitter and Facebook. So far, they've been low effort campaigns with poor reach. But repetitive headlines tries to insinuate otherwise.

PRC will probably harness GPT-3 to exploit asymmetry in censorship ability. They just haven't yet.

Why wouldn’t you have high expectations of the US and low expectations of China?

The rise of King Xi should demonstrate that culturally China is still hundreds of years behind the West.
I don't really understand why the Chernobyl or Fukushima disasters should be considered evidence of nuclear power being dangerous.

The Chernobyl plant had severe design deficiencies, and the operators were apparently not properly informed about the dangers of operating the plant the way they did at the moment. The Soviet Union was not exactly the epitome of environmental responsibility. Lots of things went wrong.

The Fukushima disaster was precipitated by a magnitude 9 earthquake and a tsunami that pretty much leveled the entire area and stopped the emergency generators. The backup generators also failed. Pretty much everything that could go wrong went wrong.

People were displaced, and the radiation leakage should be considered significant environmental damage.

The number of people displaced was tens of thousands. Although few deaths have been confirmed, if you're pessimistic, you might be able to come up with a larger figure.

However, the Fukushima disaster was a once-per-several-decades event. Coal causes hundreds of thousands to millions of deaths every year through direct air pollution, not to mention the indirect effects from climate change. That's not a rare accident. That's business as usual.

Yes, nuclear power has risks, and sometimes something goes wrong. Lots of work has been done to minimize the risks, as should be. But it's entirely emotion-driven and intellectually untenable to consider nuclear to be a major risk, comparatively. The damage caused by accidents that apparently should happen at most once per several decades in well-managed (or even less well managed) plants is still a fraction of the damage that coal-fired or other fossil-fueled plants cause every year as part of their normal operation.

If anything, the lesson to be learned from the Fukushima disaster should be: "consider carefully whether to build nuclear plants in an area where major earthquakes and tsunamis are statistically to be expected; design and manage plants responsibly; other than that, it's probably fine".

Nuclear waste is still be a problem but it's hard to imagine it being anywhere near the magnitude of the problems that burning fossil fuels causes.
The new MBP with M1 Max. They do look okayish on the built-in display. You can still see the fuzzy edges if you look at them long enough. But I'm using mine with a non-retina monitor and it shows these fuzzy edges such that you can't ignore them.
How much of that wind power is actually produced within the UK vs. on in the surrounding sea?

Point being, most EU countries don't have as much sea to use for wind, so have much lower wind power generation potential.

This isn't unexpected though: Besides a much higher vaccination rate COVID-19 has been doing the rounds now for two years and at some point the people that were highly susceptible will have simply died off. The remainder of the population may deal with current strains better or worse depending on what differences those strains bring to the table, and not all of those differences may end up targeting the same populations.
Biomass is mostly wood. If the forest is in steady-state (as is the case in Germany), this is carbon neutral. The main issue is that plants are much less efficient at light harvesting than solar cells. This means that there is probably not much scaling potential left.
Would be very interested to see how something like this plays out here in Germany because we have what's called a right to your own image, meaning that taking and in particular selling a photograph of you requires your consent. Profiting of someone else's likeness without their explicit agreement can get you into trouble very quickly.

Now with an NFT you're not technically selling a picture and I'm still not entirely sure why someone buying an NFT of an open source picture makes any sense at all but it is kind of inherent to what's being sold, because I don't think anyone would pay the same for some random bits of information.
I think it's called American Exceptionalism. But i do agree that America is not bad, that's probably because they never managed to completely shake off their British roots.(before you downvote me that was a joke). I sometimes wonder if the main consequence of the Rebellion is that they have George Washintons face on their money instead of the Queen.
> True. But you also just made the assertion un-falsifiable.

How so? Even if a quiet dissident won't open up to some obnoxious youtuber creating content, they may express their true feelings in other ways. My main point is you have to be pretty careful with what you "learn" from Youtube, and "have you seen this rando youtuber" (with the implication they should change your mind) is not a very strong response.

You could not vote for a system like that - if you did, you'd stop having a right to vote for a different system RIGHT after. 'nuff said.

It's unfathomable someone in 2021, that is not a Xi-paid troll (precisely what this article is about) would advocate for more authoritarian control, rather than less. The people you spoke to (including your farcical example) didn't exist or were fully brainwashed by propaganda. Again, IF they exist, THEIR PERSPECTIVE would have necessarily been skewed and manipulated by their internal propaganda, which is again, what this article is about.

> child birth care in the Netherlands specifically informs all new parents that breastfeeding is not a good contraceptive

But that's a lie. Breastfeeding is an excellent contraceptive, more effective than almost any other method we know. (Hormonal implants, which can't be misused, will be more effective. But only slightly more effective, because breastfeeding is already so effective that there's very little room for improvement.)
