I love tinkering with various ad personalization settings and ad-blocking technologies just to see how it changes the ads I see.

Facebook (including Instagram) is my favorite. For the most part, when you tell it to stop personalizing your ads beyond basic information, it obliges, although it does try to make that process difficult.

If you disable most targeted advertising on Facebook/Instagram, you’re going to see generic ads targeting the average person in your region—and it’s enlightening to see what those ads are. As you move between regions, the ads change dramatically.

Where I live, the ads I get are pretty mundane. However, visiting family members less than two hours away yields some interesting results. They’re in a relatively poor, conservative part of an otherwise affluent and liberal state, so there’s a lot of inequality and frustration. Violence and drugs are rampant, and the police seem to love exacerbating the social problems in the region.

What sort of ads do I get there when I have personalization disabled? Pretty much exactly what you described, although a bit less cult-oriented and more on the blatantly-violent side.

Want to test this out for yourself? Head to Facebook and remove yourself from all advertising lists and disable any personalization that you can. Then, head to the Facebook Marketplace. Set the location radius relatively small and move the location around a bit; assuming they haven’t changed it, you’ll see ads targeted to the average demographic in that location. It works best when current events are causing a significant political divide; for example, there were some fascinating ads around January 6, 2021.
If you're going to declassify something, I would expect at least a document on official letter head, with any level of restricted clearance being crossed out and a declassified stamp over top. Then to give substance, they would need to add the title of this hn post "Russia to use crisis actors to stage a flag annd start was in days" as the content of that document.
that is something propagandists say
My guess would be neodymium magnets.
Where "nazi-like" ideas are mostly everything that disagrees with a given narrative (particularly the mainstream narrative). Of course this comprises actual Nazis successors, but for the most part you just have the hammer to nail everything down that one does not agree with. It is in fact so widely used that it has its own fallacy: Reductio ad Hitlerum.
Why should people give benefit of the doubt to the country with 150k troops, full equipment, tanks, & blood plasma, and surrounding Ukraine with them? They could easily attack Ukraine within hours
Even k3s/k3d (I haven't used the others but I assume it's the same) comes with ingress controllers built-in, Traefik in the case of k3s, but it's easy to switch to nginx. So the OP is right, this is unnecessary complexity, and it really is just an ingress, even in a local cluster.
But if you use the word too liberally, it loses its meaning. Corporations have always editorialized their content. Now that's censorship?

Or to put it more simply: would you consider parents who tell their children not to curse or risk punishment censorship? Or how about at school? How about requiring a dress code at a restaurant or school? Is this all censorship?

We have to be clear. Corporations editorializing has always been called editorializing, even when they do so at the government's behest, which has happened historically when the government feels publishing something could threaten national security or might create a panic. Or when a journalist is trying to curry favor with a politician. It's only censorship when a government authority figure threatens punishment.
let god sort them out right
> If you punch a person in a supermarket, you are not banned from supermarkets.

Uh, I dunno. We definitely banned disruptive people from our supermarket. And we’d happily let other supermarkets nearby know that Mr. X was an asshole that should be treated with extreme caution (and vice versa).

I don’t see why the government needs to get involved with this though. Airlines are perfectly capable of making and sharing such a list themselves.
Yes. I have tried super sarcastic comments before - what I realized is some cultures do not have sarcasm - which makes it more funny - but they downvote super confused.
>what is there to be gained by attributing their success to all the forces that they can't control.

Supposing for a moment that there is truth to what the parent comment says, we would gain a better knowledge of how the world actually works instead of perpetuating old myths.
>> Spotify is NOT the open web. Rogan can host the audio files on his own site. That’s the open web.

The open web never promised that reach in the first place.

To be fair, at that salary you could move countries every 120 days and not pay taxes anywhere, and it would definitely be worth it.

Some countries of citizenship will require you to declare your domicile elsewhere, but in virtually all of those cases a post box in Costa Rica and registering a business there will suffice.

Also doesn’t work for US nationals, because US taxes all green card holders and citizens irrespective of actual residence
I disagree.

Its more about providing equal opportunity. Ticket booking sucks for everyone rich and poor alike. This kind of app will favor rich people who can ignore its commission and spend little more for better experience.

One might say why not adopt something like this app for all but thats not possible. Operating at such large scale is very expensive and any profits from ticket commissions is never going to cover its expense and it will suffer same fate as the website.
I remember they had some terminals (H19) that were purchased for a local school because they were cheaper than the local dealer's quote for assembled one (Z19). Not sure what they hooked them up to.

It did freak me out that when I became a student at UND, they had rooms of Z19 terminals.
I wouldn't say these documentaries have "changed the world"; but they certainly had a larger-than-usual impact:

"An Inconventient Truth"

Wikipedia: "Since the film's release, An Inconvenient Truth has been credited for raising international public awareness of global warming and reenergizing the environmental movement"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Inconvenient_Truth>

"Killing for Love" aka "The Promise"

... about alleged murderer Jens Söring - Wikipedia: "Chuck Reid, one of the original investigators of the Haysom murders, has occasionally agreed to be interviewed about the case. His participation in the 2016 documentary The Promise led him to take his long-standing doubts about the outcome more seriously." Jens Söring returned to Germany two years later.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jens_S%C3%B6ring#Documentary>

In general, I would say it's very hard to pinpoint real change to a particular movie, apart from bringing public attention to some issue. For documentaries which have done so, I suggest looking at movie awards, best of-lists (e.g. BFI) or the National Film Registry in the United States.
The irony of the false flag becomes near paradoxical when one actor accuses another of preparing a false flag.
I don't think the argument is that Rogan or such guests shouldn't have any way to express themselves. Rather that carelessly platforming any contrarían in a lazy attempt at balance is harmful.

No. The government is saying “believe us” with no supporting or corroborating evidence. None.

On the other hand Ukraine itself is saying it’s not a crisis…
You should ask Joe that. If Joe decided to sell he 100% had to have known that they will get to choose which parts of his content from the past to distribute until the end of their contract.

The government person doesn't characterize it as evidence, only information.

So they are sharing the information vs sharing the evidence. Which isn't very satisfying, but it is at least coherent.
>1. All physical systems must eventually halt.

In terms of physical computers I don't agree with must, but I will say there is a very high chance that it will. In terms of an arbitrary physical system something like gravity doesn't just halt.

>In many cases physical systems correspond to formal computational systems.

It is possible to model physical systems. It can also be useful to reason about a simplified model of something.

>So then because the system is deterministic, we know that if it returns to a previous state it must keep returning to this state forever?

Assuming it's deterministic then yes. Depending on how complicated your model is it may be hard to go back to a state you were in before.

Sure.

Definitely - all Datawrapper visualisations can also be used with live data sources (https://academy.datawrapper.de/article/317-live-updates-over...).

Onboarding as well. Many companies lack proper documentation and the resources to answer complicated questions, so new devs are expected to figure things out. It takes them several months to properly grok how the different modules of some SaaS interact with each other, and their major quirks. Chances are by the time the new dev understands the system, they have made several bad decisions that have made it to production and are not trivially reversible. With a tool that gives a rough description of how things work and what parts of the system are the most vulnerable, the effort would be reduced to proof reading and some manual additions by some experienced team members.
Without even reading this, lemme guess, XMPP good, rest bad?
The Gov credibility is so much damaged that I am not going to believe it. E.g., Afghanistan bomb strike which killed the NGO Guy and the kids.

If some other nation had done a similar air strike which killed innocent civilians, there would be sanctions one after another. E.g., Sanctions were imposed on Belarus just for landing the plane with a fake hijacking plot. The same was done by American gov on President of Bolivia Eva Morales due to the possibility that Snowden was on the flight.
I've heard similar about concrete as well, but have had a difficult time putting it in context.

"Cement (3%): carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct of a chemical conversion process used in the production of clinker, a component of cement. In this reaction, limestone (CaCO3) is converted to lime (CaO), and produces CO2 as a byproduct. Cement production also produces emissions from energy inputs – these related emissions are included in ‘Energy Use in Industry’."

Unfortunately, it doesn't further breakdown what percentage of the cement energy inputs contribute to GHG emissions.

In fairness, if the actual data (classified) or information (classified) can be merged with context known only by the adversary, the disclosure of such data jeopardizes sources and methods (https://www.thecipherbrief.com/column_article/why-protecting...), giving the adversary an opportunity to either detect sources or alter their own methods to avoid further disclosure. That's why what you're seeing disclosed is essentially only the knowledge.

tl;dr: disclosing data could tell the adversary how we found out, leading to changes by the adversary or deaths of spies crucial to how we learned what we learned.
That... doesn't make sense. They can choose to publish or not publish whatever they want in their paper. The top people at a newspaper are literally called editors, and they routinely make decisions about what goes in and what does not.
The two feed on each other.

Most people suffering from mental illnesses pose no danger or annoyance to anyone. Lumping them in with violent / abusive / entitled / dangerous troublemakers is insulting and demeaning to mental illness sufferers as a whole.

The general public (including non dangerous mental patients) has a right to not be put at risk, intimidated or restricted in their travels by a tiny minority of dangerous individuals.

Finally, most antisocial types are either not really diagnosable with a mental disorder, or not diagnosed when one could be. On top of that, even when a diagnosis can and is applied, the effective treatment options are few. We just don't know how to fix narcissists. Thus labelling them as having a mental disorder is entirely pointless, even if you're so generous as to be willing to disregard the massive damages they cause.
The author mentions ingresses don’t work for non-http TCP traffic. Is that true?
Otoh, if people don't trust the government, why would they trust any evidence they can present? Chances are it would be the sort of evidence that's very hard to fact-check unless you happen to be running an intelligence service of your own.

So in the end they'd still be saying "believe us." And those who don't can call it unverifiable fake evidence.
I think that was mainly FUD there is no way that they would’ve put that in there at least not in a manner that could be triggered by simply removing an episode.

There might be some material breach clauses there around censorship but it would guess if there are they are worded in a manner that can only be triggered if Spotify directly forces Joe to say something or to bring a specific guest to say something for example.
I thought I would be too, but I ended up going to a Art with CS minor. I felt like I had to compromise actually making good artwork (vs tech demos/one dimensional projects) to sit in CS theory classes when I already had all the technical knowledge they were going to teach, and you can get the minor just from the technical classes.
Thanks.

> Something that I messed up originally and we're now correcting incrementally is the handling of allocation failures.

What in particular? Can you use exceptions reliably in the kernel land? I presume not unless you pre-allocate some hard-to-exhaust space for them.

Have you maybe thought of using LSBs to encode an allocation failure within the pointer itself? It's an entertaining idea I had for some time now. In 64-bit byte-addressable architectures one can take advantage of suitable alignments and have 3 least significant bits used to encode 8 different states. In a similar vein one could also take advantage of MSBs given the virtual address memory space limit of nowadays CPUs.
> why do you think some people trust celebrities like Rogan over a medical expert like Fauci or, literally, the creators of vaccines?

You seem to be somewhat misinformed. It's not what Joe Rogan says that is under fire, it's what his guests say. Rogan mostly says stuff like "wow" and lets his guests speak.

To make things even more interesting, this latest drama is because he had Robert Malone [1] as a guest on his show. Malone is not just a doctor, but he is also a scientist responsible for the early work on making mRNA vaccines possible. That's what's extra crazy about all of this. It's not even some random comedian talking out of his comfort zone. The guest is one of the most informed people about mRNA in the world. The guy literally made his career on mRNA. Yet what he says does not align with the most widely propagated take, so he must be silenced.

I personally don't know enough about mRNA to have a say, but what I can safely assume is that Malone knows more about mRNA than most people who are saying he is wrong.

If you identify people by their first and last name you’ve already committed a huge mistake.

How about identifying people by their citizenship ID? I’m fairly certain it was made exactly to avoid naming issues.

Yeah I've encountered people that tell me "it's their choice if they leave spotify if rogan wasn't censored" like that wasn't a prime example of cancel culture. The worse thing is that they think they are in the right. Eventually you if you can convince them that its censorship, they will counter that there was nothing wrong with censoring people "[... because of x]". No reason or whatsoever legitimates censorship in my opinion.

I also get cancelled on several forums on a regular basis when I say bad things about pharmaceutical companies or against government etc. even if it's completely neutral. I've seen all reasons already to censor me:
- insults
- conspiracy
- talking about controversial topics in general

none of those were true, ever..
Maybe they shouldn’t have pulled all the stops on the “yellovske” from Niger for Saddam nonsense and they’d have credibility.

Just a reminder that Russia and Putin have a recent history of using false-flag attacks. The 1999 Russian apartment bombings are universally considered false-flag attacks by Russian journalists and historians who are not on the Kremlin payroll.

Exactly, sometimes these systems are purposely used to deny legitimate users. Sort of like OS account lockouts (too many failed attempts). What if their goal is to lock the users out?

This is a rather shallow and naive way of looking at things.

Put bluntly, Ukraine is a strategic buffer between Russia and the West, keeping their nukes and armed forces at arm's length. Ukraine didn't like this role, it wanted out, but it underestimated how much this would tip the balance. They moved too fast and against a now-pissed former and powerful ally. Hence the result.

That is, there is a pretty good reason for Russia to do all this even if their methods are painfully crude.
>Brussels

Ok this sort of makes sense but 2 things spring to mind here -

#1) Any actual things/events will be automtically doubted even if true. Given the restriction on live casting to YT this leaves citizen journalism effectively muzzled.

The government doesn't really care that the press believe them, at this point.
If Russia proceeds with the plan they will provide all the corroborating evidence that is needed. If it doesn't, they got what they wanted.
We should give them the benefit of doubt about this particular accusation because the people accusing them

1. Have not presented evidence, merely asserted something and demand to be trusted

2. Have a long history of lying, and clearly feel they are entitled to lie to you when they feel it's useful.

There are plenty of times you should not give the Russian government the benefit of doubt, but it's the other side which is making a positive assertion here.
Have you seen this yet?

"COVID-19: A Second Opinion" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jMONZMuS2U

"On January 24, 2022 Senator Ron Johnson invited a group of world renowned doctors and medical experts to the U.S. Senate to provide a different perspective on the global pandemic response, the current state of knowledge of early and hospital treatment, vaccine efficacy and safety, what went right, what went wrong, what should be done now, and what needs to be addressed long term. This 38 minute video highlights the 5-hour discussion."

The 38 minute compilation is a great, easily consumable summary - however here's the link to the full 5+ hours of testimony - https://rumble.com/vt62y6-covid-19-a-second-opinion.html - which obviously has far more depth to it.

The reason I ask if you've seen it is Joe's had multiple of these highly credentialed, front-line workers (doctors, researchers, etc. with expert domain knowledge and experience), on his podcast - some multiple times.

It's going to get harder to ignore these people and what they have to say the more formal the setting the information is shared.

Another video everyone should watch is Maddie De Garay's mother giving testimony for 10 minutes of their experience of her daughter being in Pfizer's 12-15 year old vaccine clinical trial.
