> extremely dodgy privacy policies.

You might not be able to ban always-online requirements without unacceptable collateral damage, but you can legislatively address “extremely dodgy privacy policies” by simply having decent privacy laws and not leaving the issue up to corporate policy.
This year is different. There are no official tracks and therefore no official call for paper. Thats why only the local CCC Clubs (erfas) offer talks.

A lot of these talks are held by people that are closely related to the CCC. I expect that once the congress is taking place offline again, there will be a official track with selected talks.

Also please note that the ccc was founded in the TAZ headquarter on the table that previously belonged to the Komune 1. CCC was political from day one. I maybe wasn't so present in the earlier days but as "the internet" got more intertwined with politics the CCC followed.
This is why I love HN.

As far as I know, confession is a route for absolution of “sins”. And for some reason this is a power Christian churches give themselves. If it doesn’t result in a form of leverage (moral or otherwise) over it’s practitioners, I’d be surprised. Even more so for children who have yet to establish their own view of the world.
Me too. It would be fun to find all the HN Dzogchenpas / Mahamudra practitioners.

> Now, obviously, that's not the case with all education, but my next gripe with it is the seemingly insurmountable debt that said education brings. Literally, all of my friends that have gone to college are no where near paying their debt off and I'm in my late 30s.

A solid 31% of college graduates have no loans, and current graduates with loans average something like $30k in debt. With this in mind, it's perhaps worth pausing to consider why the sample that is your social circle suffers from decades of crushing debt. Perhaps your sample is not representative?

Or, more insidiously, perhaps debt levels tend to reflect class and class aspirations? Someone who attends a community college likely has little to no debts. Someone attending a local tier two or three public university probably has some modest debt, often below their yearly income after graduation. Someone who goes through a private post-grad program likely has six figures worth.

> Finally, that in of itself, ya know, maybe that's like the licks you gotta take when you're trying to rise up in the world, but the fact that educational debt in America can never be voided through bankruptcy seems like a conscious systemic decision to create debt slaves.

What do you imagine the outcome might be if student loans were voidable through bankruptcy? How do you think fresh graduates with loans and no assets would handle things?
I've been tracking my daily activities in detail for 5 years now and I greatly appreciate the insights it provides into my own behavior and health. I love reading these kinds of articles to see that I'm not alone in this particular obsession and also for tips on how other people do it.

For my system I have repurposed Org Mode's clocking feature and run a dedicated Emacs instance in a terminal window. I then have a bunch of R scripts for visualizations: https://github.com/he-sk/timelog

The main disadvantage is that I need to enter activities manually when I have been away from the computer. I just save notes in my smartphone but it's a bit annoying.
Compressors are super important for character, groove, and general loudness - so that's mostly the reason why there's so much focus on compressors. Also since we are talking about hardware vs software, compressors are generally a hotly debated topic on that front.

I highly recommend this video if you're interested in why compression matters so much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0XGXz6SHco

It is my understanding that fuel composition is a part of engine approval, and it is similar to authorizing a new part if you are using a new fuel. [1] It seems the FAA only recently approved the use of unleaded gasoline for a large number of engines! [2] So while bio-fuel based fuels would be great, there does seem to be some significant, and I think reasonable, bureaucracy in the way of that happening.

That's generally not true in practice today. Most hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, so in most respects it's not any cleaner than just burning the fuel directly.

In theory it is possible to produce hydrogen from clean energy without using fossil fuels. But we're a long way from doing that at scale.

There is no real weight savings from hydrogen fuel once you account for the tankage, plus the more powerful engines needed to overcome the additional drag from those larger tanks.
I'm quite aware of this. The question is did God condemn humans for knowing, or condemned them for knowing before they were ready to know, and disobeying his direct orders.

Think about it like a father, who has a 3 year old toddler. You tell him "don't touch the car keys". The kid turns on the car, crashes in the garage.

It becomes pathological only if you still ban your child from driving when he's 40.

Religions are full of stories where humans tried to reach to the Gods too quickly and were punished for this. What about the Tower of Babel for example? Is this God (or Gods) trying to maintain their power by not sharing knowledge, or is it them being highly cognizant of how dangerous it is to know before you're ready? Maybe a bit of both.

There's another story from Hinduism where a person who died saw Shiva, but using a human form. The person prayed "I know this is not your true form, please show me your true form, I'm ready". Shiva tried to persuade the person that's a bad idea, but he persisted. So Shiva showed him his true form, horrifying and multidimensional and all-encompassing, filling every sense, he was a lion, and a tiger, and a tornado, and all beings at once, and the human could see Shiva in all moments from the beginning of time to eternity. And the human was horrified and begged Shiva to turn back to a human form.

We think we're ready, but we're not. The universe is a horrifyingly complex place. Of course, we should still strive to understand and learn.

> I'd be surprised if you had that coverage for your day-to-day driving

I know I'm a relatively cautious and responsible driver, though, so I can make a reasonable assessment that that's an acceptable risk for me. People renting their cars out through this service don't know anything about who's going to drive their cars.
You are technically correct. The stupid thing about DRM is that the player has to download the decryption keys into the RAM of the player. All these players do is try to obfuscate the keys so they can't be accessed very easily. When you see these proper rips out there they are being done by groups who extracted a decryption key from the player and used that to unencrypt the stream.

DRM is dumb. I used to work on DRM. It was dumb then, it's dumb now.

I like this list. In a time when there are many listicals and claimed "curated" collections that are little more than lists of affiliate links, I find value in actual curated lists with actual opinions.

I remember the Soviets converted a plane for hydrogen combustion:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-155

But I feel that's a bit of a distraction - turbines must use thermodynamic cycles to convert fuel into thrust - something whose maximum efficiency is less than the real world efficiency of a hydrogen fuel cell.

I feel like hydrogen turbofans are not practical for small craft for a number of reasons - cost, maintenance, noise, limited start/stop cycles etc., while electrics have the ability to scale to every aircraft category.
> Yes, sorry, that's not what I thought "outcompeting" meant in the epidemiological sense. I thought it implied that one variant grows to the detriment of the other.

I mean, it does, but ... we don't really know that Omicron is outcompeting Delta in that sense. We know that Omicron case counts are growing, relative to Delta, but we don't know how well Omicron prevents later infection by Delta, etc.

You asked "Wouldn't the fact that it's outcompeting Delta imply that there is some cross immunity?" The only fact that we have right now is that Omicron is growing quicker than Delta, not that Omicron is somehow suppressing Delta with cross-immunity.

> Otherwise, we could say something like "COVID outcompetes the flu".

Well--- COVID causing everyone to be careful, combined with influenza's lower Rt due to not being novel, really put a dent in influenza. So even then, without cross-immunity, you can have growth in one suppress growth in the other.

I don't know, how much they cost in US, but here are couple of solutions:

1. EdgeRouter X (ER-X) or EdgeRouter Lite (ERLite-3).

2. more userfriendly UniFi Security Gateway (USG) with controller (UCK) or UniFi Dream Machine (UDM)

- it propose creating cloud account, but __do not__ require it.

3. use devices capable to run OpenWRT or buy some hardware like Supermicro Embedded Solutions (later I can share models list) to run pfSense/OPNSense or VyOS.

4. other MikroTik soulutions (but I don't like them so my knowledge is not up to date; I don't know which solutions are good for you).
A checklist for doing live demos
I'm running openWRT on my edgerouterX, and so far (about 2 months) everything has been really well supported including hardware offloading of various features.

In most cases, I'm getting better than stock performance. UI is much better too. I'm a big fan.
Side note about an advertisement on the linked page. It's a google vpn ad and the behavior is new to me. On a mobile device while swipe scrolling, I scrolled on the ad itaelf. This resulted in the ad actually opening a new tab, even when I tried it multiple more times. I didn't tap on accident.

It could turn out that copyright is only enforceable if it involves payment or authorship.

So if you don't sue to get paid or to get attribution you don't have a case. This way GPL would be unenforceable.
That's the whole point, the producer doesn't have control and therefore you own what you bought, instead of renting it.
I would also suggest dd-wrt as an alternative; it seemed a little easier to find a working build and I've eventually gotten used to the UI organization.
I'm a religious Jew, in a bit of a crisis of faith. I still pray three times a day, I still make shabbat and observe holidays, I even still learn Torah even though I don't really believe in it anymore, because I find being well read useful when I have to explain the times I do break the cultural norms to people. Orthodox Judaism in general has a lot of laws everywhere: what you wear, what you eat, what you put in your house, and a lot of prayer and blessings.

Modern orthodox communities of Jews are very weirdly selective about the things they're ok with modernizing and the things they still hold importance with: listening to secular music is fine, wearing modern clothing is fine, but if you play instruments on the sabbath you're shunned. There's something inherently disgustingly coercive about a society that will treat you like a stranger and disown you if you don't get married, let alone if you have a relationship with someone of the same sex. Every day it gets harder to accept myself living a life where I can't openly love the people I love, but there is also a structure and community that secular society doesn't really have. Part of the draws of acceptance is that the sense of community in religious spaces is built not just out of inclusivity (we have the same religion and values) but also exclusivity (we aren't like them) and this means that sometimes you're excluded.

An unrelated reason why California is not great place for it: an aviation company I am familiar with recently had its entire test site (remote, desolate place) closed for months, because of fire risk — one of its previous prototypes caught on fire upon crashing (as things packed with energy sometimes to do on crash), and so no more testing was allowed until things get less dry.
Windows serves whichever axe is deemed to need grinding and they're not going to give up that control.

At the moment it's Edge getting shoved down our throats at any opportunity and in some cases it even ignores the "default apps" (looking at you links from the lock screen)

I've also started getting prompts to "restore my web browser" settings as a way to get Edge reset back to the default along with a permanent "restore recommended" banner on the top of the Settings app.

Use Microsoft recommended browser settings: Set the latest Microsoft Edge as your default browser and pin it to your desktop and taskbar. It's the best browser for Windows 10 with enhanced privacy protection.

The "learn more" takes you to https://microsoftedgewelcome.microsoft.com/en-us/privacy and two of the promises are "control" and "respect". It's funny, I don't feel either in control or respected about my choice not to use Edge.
You know the old question "Why go to the moon instead of solving world hunger?" Well, the answer is that despite going to the moon being a incredibly hard technological problem, it is still vastly easier than solving world hunger. Likewise, eVTOLs are a very hard technological problem, but that is nothing compared to the social problems of getting new rail lines built in North America.

So yeah, I think the only unserious people are those dreaming of HSR in North America. Vast structural challenges and repeated high-profile failures don't seem to bring about any introspection or doubt, just more doubling-down. Privately built and operated eVTOLs fit smoothly into the structure of our society. Expropriating vast amounts of land to connect city centres while people live in the burbs does not fit nearly so well. Developing better batteries is vastly, vastly simpler and easier than restructuring all of society around fixed rail lines.
Moral slavery as you put it is one of those things that's bad for you but good for everybody else, unless you're bad at getting away with things in which case it's also good for you.

Another kind of slavery is doing whatever you want, because you don't decide what you want. What you want is determined by the often self-contradictory brain circuits that sprouted in your head without your intent or permission. That's something from the bible, by the way.
How is that any more explicit or intentional than calling malloc though? You have to tell it exactly how many bytes you want on the heap.

Yes? I don't know what you're referring to by "the news media it specifically mentions" but speaking as someone who doesn't have a dog in this fight, but who does actually want to know what's going on, it seems (to me) worth knowing that the paper being held forth as evidence that the vaccine is dangerous carries the disclaimer that it's a pre-print, not peer reviewed, and should not be used to guide health-related behavior. Is the vaccine dangerous? I would like to know! Is this paper strong evidence that the vaccine is dangerous? It is not convincing to me in its current state, though maybe it will go on to be proven a valid and important piece of work.

If your point is that there is a lot of low-quality media out there, then I agree. My sense is that we should increase, not decrease, our skepticism in response.
An MLP-based NeRF actually has a comparable number of parameters to plenoxels (it's not 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller). The original NeRF is 8 dense layers with 256 channels and then this one adds another network with 6 dense layers with 64 channels, so roughly speaking 7x256x256 + 5x64x64. And remember that the voxel grid is sparse, though we don't get exact numbers here. We shouldn't be miserly with our megabytes in 2021. What concerns me is how HyperNeRF requires 64 hours of training time on 4 TPU v4s; if you want to use this for communication or entertainment, it's light-years away from interactive.

Extending plenoxels to support dynamic objects would be great future work.

as it represents a way for people to justify reprehensible acts

And in that view, it also represents a way for people to "justify" incredible acts of grace, mercy, and kindness to fellow man. At least in the US, the broad majority of charities and social work organizations that care for others' many needs (both internal and external to this country) have some sort of religious background.

Even further, religious freedom was a core basis for creating the US that - for all its faults - is still one of the greatest civilizations to have ever existed. So your one-sided perspective is arguably just that.

It wouldn't make a lot of sense financially. The cost to create all the assets, and stay in sync with Ubisofts asset database would be high. Your only incentive would be to try and capitalize on future sales, but without any guarantee that they'd buy the asset from you.
