> No I didn’t say it’s illegal

Ok, so expect that it will be declared illegal. As in, "it won’t pass judicial review". That is what I meant by that statement.

I am saying that you are claiming that " it won’t pass judicial review", but you didn't give a reason or justification for why that would be case.

> You haven’t pointed out a single false statement

The most obvious false statement, would be the one that I just quoted of you, in that post. Which would be when you said "no they aren't", in response to me, when I said that other countries were trying to pass similar laws.

A similar law, would be the EU laws that are being written right now. So that is the false statement. It would be how you were not aware of those similar EU laws.

> If you can quote a false statement

The quote is "No they aren't", in response to my statements about these EU laws. I literally quoted that in my previous post.

Let dictators push whatever story they want. Serbia was a belligerent pariah and suffered economically for it. When the dictator was ousted it stopped being a belligerent pariah and benefited economically from that. That's all that matters in the long run.
> What intuition should a layperson have to suggest that obviously opacity/transmissivity is multiplicative?

Tinted windows and sunglasses come to mind. Intuitively, if you put translucent things back to back, you expect light to still pass through, albeit less of it, but always some. A noteworthy exception is when using polarized filters, which can unintuitively block out 100% of light depending on the angle between the filters.
Serbia was heavily bombed in 1999. Regimes do regularly, though not always, collapse after military defeats. No one wants to be ruled by a loser.

Yes, a salary raise in industry A will lead to a salary raise in industry B. Industry B has no option to stop hiring people altogether, so they have to hire at the higher wage level.

But a gender gap in industry A will not lead to an gender gap in industry B. Industry B will just hire the cheaper gender until industry B has no gender gap.

Owning shares in a pre-ipo company comes with it's own risks. And not wanting to be diluted from future investments is a valid reason to selling your shares.

It's possible for the company to dilute your shares turning them worthless, and then generates new shares. I'm sure there's lots of examples you can find of dilution, but that was what FB did to the former CFO as shown in the movie "The Social Network".

People keep talking about working for soulless companies when deciding to work for startups, but I can't think of a more soulless way to screw over your employees.

The default search tool from the Microsoft file explorer is an embarassment. Routinely doesn't find files that are there. No positive indication of when the search is actually finished. Wack advanced search syntax that I can't bother to learn. I could go on, but the things I have already listed are more than enough.

The search tool on Windows XP with the animated dog was 100x better than what they have there now. I usually just go with "dir" redirected to a file when I really need to find something now. Yet another example of "upgrades" being actively worse than what came before it.

> Over preparing/over doing it to the point where most would call it ‘perfectionism’ has saved my ass many times, because it meant when I got put in a situation that turned out to be much harder or scarier than I had imagined or knew was possible, I actually had the bare minimum necessary there to pull it off or get out of the situation successfully.

That bit really resonated with me. Having a fixed mindset in certain cases has allowed me to get away in some extreme challenges where a growth mindset surely would not have.
The reason Ontario (and Canada in general) is doing well is because they have a much higher vaccination rate and a healthier population in general. In the US, the high numbers of hospitalization and death are overwhelmingly unvaccinated and/or extremely unhealthy individuals. Also, comparing absolute numbers is disingenuous when the vaccination rate is so high.

I imagine something does exist that does this, but I do not know what it is called.

I know that overlayfs exists, which could enable this sort of thing by capturing each individual change to the filesystem as a new layer. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/overlayfs...

Btrfs and ZFS can do snapshotting, and I would imagine it could be configured to snapshot at certain intervals or after individual changes to the filesystem or a section of the filesystem, like watched directories.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Btrfs#Snapshots

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gbcya/index.ht...

There's also filesystem-in-userland tech like Fuse which could enable something like this. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/fuse.html
Look up "append only" filesystems. That'll get you most of the way there, but you'll have to manually reset things to get rid of old files. Or just use a competent backup system.

1. Host your mx somewhere that isn't on any blacklists. This means a small to medium sized isp, where you can directly contact the people who run the core network operations there, and who truly do care about kicking off abusive other customers very quickly. Ideally I would go with an ISP in your own region and home business area. Best chances of success if it's a hosting ISP where random customers cannot sign up online with just a name and a credit card, but it's more of a "contact us for a custom price quotation for your colocation needs" type of hosting operation.

2. Possibly run all your outbound smtp through a trusted third party service that you pay for such relay. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth but that's where we are at in 2022.

3. Be absolutely certain that your own smtp, spf, dkim, dmarc configuration is flawless and you've never been a source of spam.

> It will soon be added to the decentralized exchange Thorchain.

I've heard about XHV and Monero being added to Thorchain a year ago, described as coming soon. Somehow it feels more like marketing than a real thing.
Expanding on my last question. You had written,

> [The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh] were speaking a language constructed intentionally to remove "Persian" influence, which seems on the verge of doing ethnic cleansing

and I was confused, writing

> I wonder about your reference to Hindi as a "constructed language" however. I didn't think it was. What are you referring to?

not just because I think of Hindi as an organic language, but because what you're saying seems exactly backwards.

If anything, I'd have thought (if you had BJP sympathies) that you might levy that sort of charge against the Tamil/Dravidian parties who resisted the imposition of Hindi education and official language by the Hindu nationalists: "Oh you Tamils with your exclusionary ethnostate!" It'd be a bit much, but somebody could say it.

Because, let's strip euphemisms: "Persian" here means "Iranian", which is another spelling of "Aryan", i.e., the barely-prehistorical conquerors of the northern part of the subcontinent, who, very indirectly and with some strain, we might call the predecessors of today's Delhi-centered BJP. (For anyone else reading.)

(If you really wanted to troll you could call them "foreign imperialists" and talk about kicking them out of India. That'd be absurd -- a bit like saying blonde Russians are really Swedes, going back to the Kievian Rus, and pointing to (blonde) Soviet Man as remaining chauvinism -- but if you wanted to turn "indigenous" politics and "decolonization" against them, you could do it. It'd be one way to make a point.)

If there were a nationalist movement that would want an "Aryan-free ethnostate", it would be something like extreme Tamil nationalists, intent on bringing back Kumari Kandam from the depths, like some Nazis wanted Thule.

Or are you talking not about the BJP's efforts to push Hindi, but their (more marginal) efforts to resurrect Sanskrit within the "Bharat", e.g.,

https://www.siasat.com/sanskrit-unifies-bharat-promote-it-rs...

? That would be more like other nationalistic language projects, like Gaelic and Hebrew. But even that is firmly within the Proto-Indo-European language family, so "Aryan". And their main goal remained "Hindi, Hindu, Hindustan" anyway, not Sanskrit.

Thus, I remain confused. Maybe that was your true intention. If so, you've succeeded.
Curious, this suggests (lambda a b form) to go along with (let a 42 form). I've seen let without the extra parens but not define or lambda. Thanks for the aside.

I mean, it wouldn't be immediate, as the timing would be based on the budget cycle, but unless I’m missing something it seems like it would be possible.

> Adobe is the first one I'm familiar with that does normal monthly billing but forces you to stay a year.

Really? The Commitment Subscription payment model is super common and old as time.

Oracle. Microsoft for some services. Lots of random SaaS companies. Unity Pro. Gyms. Internet service. Webex since forever. POTS service. Mobile service until Verizon got greedy and they started letting phone subsidies do the same thing. Leases. Service contracts for everything from software support to pest control. Consulting contracts. Columbia's Record of the Month Club.

I am firmly against blaming people who've been ripped off because they didn't' prevent it, but this is not new. It is a standard business practice across many industries. It's not even new to software.

Beyond that, even with Adobe, you don't even have to use it— it's just the only one Adobe lets you sign up for a free trial with. If you go to Adobe's sub page:
https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/plans.html

And click on the 52 whatever a month plan, the three options for subscriptions— Month-to-Month, Monthly with a 12 month commitment, and annual paid upfront, are listed clear-as-day on the right.

I think the Hanlon's Razor play on words is clear. When the two possibilities at large seem to be "Adobe, the world standard in creative software, maliciously styled their cancellation terms to trick the sliver of people suspicious enough to read the terms but not suspicious enough to realize the text was cut off" and "Adobe fell behind on user testing for infrequently viewed text-only fine print pages," Hanlon's razor is the heuristic people should use, and the results are self-evident.
I’m not ‘claiming’ it won’t pass judicial review. I am stating an opinion. Do you understand that?

I don’t think the EU laws are similar. That is another opinion.

Neither of these statements are false. You may disagree with my opinions but it’s delusional to confuse opinion with fact.

You are lying when you say I’m making false statements. to distract from the fact that you didn’t respond to my rebuttal of your actual position.

Let’s try again:

> that make life harder for smaller developers Nobody is making the Apple App store illegal. Those developers can continue to use that, if they prefer it. It is just other companies can choose something else if they want.

This simply isn’t true.

If a developer has to negotiate with a multitude of different stores, each with different rules, their life will be harder.

Given that the alternative is to lose access to customers, it’s the small developers who will be harmed most by this.

These bills are supported by giant corporations who want to run their own stores. It’s just about them taking a cut, and has nothing to do with consumers or small developers.

The expensive version of what you are describing is a vaulting appliance but I won't continue down that path unless you are a bank.

The affordable version of what you are describing is a set of NAS class servers that use something like DRBD or Ceph for multi-node replication and rsnapshot for local snapshots/versioning if LVM. If using LVM, then rsnapshot should be configured to save its snapshot where the remote clients can not write to it.

Look into setting up Ceph clusters if you plan to build something that will need to scale really large on individual volumes across multiple nodes. Ceph supports creating snapshots. There are pros and cons to solutions such as DRBD, LVM and Ceph. That would be a topic in and of itself. Others here are mentioning ZFS and that is also a popular solution but I have never used it and can't comment on it.

In summary if I was asked to build something that would grow to unknown size, require snapshots to roll-back files to a specific date and be fault tolerant I would go with Ceph. As a bonus feature there are libraries and tools to present Ceph volumes as S3-like buckets. There are ansible playbooks for setting up Ceph clusters. Ceph has some really good security features as well.
Would also add, that the point, when even well educated adult can comprehend in toto, how computer "works" now, is long passed by. It's way too complicated software, hardware and distributed networks wise.
Then it is a very limited scope. The first thing I do on a new Django project is to ensure the admin portal is long gone. If you can't understand or work with your models from the Django shell, something is not right.

> These people seem incapable of understanding the existential threat to free society and democracy posed by limiting everyone's ability to communicate private thoughts.

Democracy only directly benefits the people, not those in power. The only difference between a democracy and a dictatorship in terms of leaders keeping key supporters happy (the people vs. just those that hold office and control the military) is that democracies tend to employ more creative people with society-enhancing goals, thus driving technology forward and maybe even extending our lifetimes (via better healthcare).

Good point. The original definition doesn't stand on its own; it's obviously humorous and understanding the wider meaning requires putting it in the context of the subculture it came out of. What's clear though is that it wasn't solely, or primarily, about breaking into insecure systems for malicious purposes.

Steven Levy gave a lot of the context in Hackers:

The core members hung out at the club for hours; constantly improving The System, arguing about what could be done next, developing a jargon of their own that seemed incomprehensible to outsiders who might chance on these teen-aged fanatics, with their checked short-sleeve shirts, pencils in their pockets, chino pants, and, always, a bottle of Coca-Cola by their side. (TMRC purchased its own Coke machine for the then forbidding sum of $165; at a tariff of five cents a bottle, the outlay was replaced in three months; to facilitate sales, Saunders built a change machine for Coke buyers that was still in use a decade later.) When a piece of equipment wasn't working, it was "losing"; when a piece of equipment was ruined, it was "munged" (Mash Until No Good); the two desks in the comer of the room were not called the office, but the "orifice"; one who insisted on studying for courses was a "tool"; garbage was called "cruft"; and a project undertaken or a product built not solely to fulfill some constructive goal, but with some wild
pleasure taken in mere involvement, was called a "hack."

This latter term may have been suggested by ancient MIT lingo the word "hack" had long been used to describe the elaborate college pranks that MIT students would regularly devise, such as covering the dome that overlooked the campus
with reflecting foil. But as the TMRC people used the word, there was serious respect implied. While someone might call a clever connection between relays a "mere hack," it would be understood that, to qualify as a hack, the feat must be imbued with innovation, style, and technical virtuosity. Even though one might self- deprecatingly say he was "hacking away at The System" (much as an axe-wielder hacks at logs), the artistry with which one hacked was recognized to be considerable.

That wasn't an academic book though, so he didn't give citations for things like "the word 'hack' had long been used [etc.]"
From what I've understood, coins are wrapped to enable cross-chain movements. Let's say you have X BTC, but you want to take advantage of ERC-20 features. You can "move" your BTC to Ethereum blockchain by depositing your X BTC in Wrapped BTC (WBTC) smart contract. It'll lock your BTC, and give you the equivalent amount of WBTC tokens, which are ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum chain.
