If you're serious about this, you should strongly consider Monero.
Escaping a virtual machine isn't unheard of. If I were a betting man then I would place good money that this, being a data dump of a state, could contain state-sponsored 0-days designed to escape such things.
And viruses have adapted to that for well over a decade.

And add to that, I would most certainly not trust a normal virtual machine to be a big enough boundary.
I don't know if this trick will work for you or not, but I've been able to control my hyperfocus by leaning into "side projects" and interests. These are actually just the things I want to do with my life anyway. I can maintain fervency even during the "mundane parts" when it's in support of what I love.

It's worked really well for me and I'm incredibly, incredibly productive.
> You asked about motivation, and I told you what they were.

No, you said what Putin claimed his motivations were. Very different things.

It's clear what he's said and at least some of it is clearly bullshit, like the thing about Nazis and Ukraine committing genocide in the east.

Even he doesn't believe that so it can't be a motivation. More like an excuse.
> however the cloudy nature of Feedly removes an important avenue of control from the user. With RSS reader software, it is possible to remove and re-add a feed, thereby grabbing a brand new copy of it. When a content creator like myself makes an error like this, users can fairly easily do this after the mistake had been corrected, mark everything below their most recently read post as read, and get on with their life.

I don’t agree with the approach suggested here with RSS reader software. Removing a feed and adding it again means losing out on older articles that are no longer present in the feed, losing “starred” status of articles (in my understanding this is also a way to save an article permanently even if the feed publisher doesn’t include it anymore in the feed), and losing the unread status of some old articles that one wanted to get to later (including as recent as a week or two in the definition of “old”).

I wouldn’t want Feedly or someone else to remove articles after those have been received by my reader software. In this case the reason may be good and acceptable, but it breaks a contract that users of Feedly (not the publishers of the feeds) expect from such a service. Soon it could devolve into censorship requests. Feedly or any such service is better off, and would spend lesser time and effort, by avoiding messing with the feeds. “What you publish is what we serve the users” should be their guideline.

The peril I see is publishers publishing feeds without adequate testing.
The device holds a private key that can be regenerated from 12 seed words.

The device itself doesn't really matter if you know these 12 words.

The key is what lets you update ownership information on the public block chain. The wallet doesn't hold any coins on the device, just a key that let's you update the chain of public ownership.

For example:

- You live in Russia and see the writing on the wall for invasion and currency collapse

- Prior to the invasion you move 90% of your wealth into a BTC wallet.

- The invasion happens and the currency collapses.

- You want to escape the country, but the border exits are guarded by corrupt guards that will steal any money/valuables you try to cross with.

- You memorize the 12 seed words of your wallet and cross the border with nothing.

- On the other side you recreate your wallet and restore access to your wealth in a safe country.

This isn't just a hypothetical, this kind of thing has already happened: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29518181
To add static CSS styles, you need to know the structure of the HTML in advance, which the extension doesn't. And to modify the DOM—even to add styles on it—you need to traverse it, i.e. read. Plus, the whole job of the extension is probably to figure out what styles are on the page already and how they can be fiddled into the darkness.
This one is actually easy. Most commonly, orange is a color and a fruit. I'm sure we can all pretty easily list some objective facts about both of those things.

Orange is also the name of a town in some places, and a county in others. But I think you need more search terms in order to disambiguate. The search engine can't read minds, after all.
I don't think bioreactors produce giant lakes of shit[1], so from an ecological standpoint this will be an absolute win.

10 years ago flux inspired me to start down this path as well.

All the lights in our house automatically lower their color temperature and brightness at sunset every 15 minutes from 5000k to 2700k and 100% to 10%. SmartThings and the community created Circadian Daylight Coordinator have made this pretty straight forward to accomplish.

I don't have data, but anecdotally I can say it makes an appreciable difference in overall comfort.
Fantastic, you've written in AI that is able to distinguish information from disinformation. Turing Award incoming, I expect.

Now, off to uninstall DDG.
They updated it recently to not use that
I love Dark Reader but have it disabled on HN.

I use "Hacker News Readable Dark" under Stylus and this site looks fantastic.

The very idea of a search engine is to filter a few useful pages out hundreds of thousands of pages. It's impossible to do that without bias and it's bizarre to think Russian disinformation sites could provide useful information. Not even Russians think that. The search engine should give the respective results when the user enters "Russian disinformation sites" or something like that, of course.

On a side note, during the past two weeks Russian disinformation campaigns have become so awfully retarded that it's not even funny to browse them for entertainment anymore. It's just obvious bullshit, changing the tune daily because FSB agents no longer know what to say.
I think it's a mistake to assume that algorithms don't have an ideology lean. Even if one wasn't (accidentally or intentionally) programmed in, it can certainly develop one.
Our countries should send an ultimatum: if no agreement have been found by next week, frozen assets will be nationalized. Having Chelsea belong to BoJo would be fun :)
Cite for CA revocations? I hadn't heard that, and a quick google shows just one McClatchy story about a pretty obvious (and English language) propaganda site.
Why don't you start by explaining what you are confused on?
Really enjoyed poking around the graphic and diving into all the interlocking systems. Really didn't enjoy the prose below it as much. Rather than adding to it, it seemed to drown out other ways of consuming the information.

I think I learned a lesson about how a heavy-handed POV can push the audience right past the ideal zone of understanding. Or maybe I didn't learn that lesson, and I will continue to write primarily to show off how insightful my insights are.
The case of different platforms is not a filter bubble. It's just a social bubble like it always existed.

The fundamental feature of a filter bubble is that you can not escape it. If all it takes is looking at another site, it's not it.

Anyway, I prefer my search results devoid of known falsehoods. I don't believe it at all that DDG can achieve this, but if there's a loud known source of that can be cut without false positives, I do prefer that it's cut. Unfortunately, verifying the mainstream news isn't such an easy task, so that DDG will become both more reliable and more biased at the same time. Personally, I don't care much for the bias. I care about the reliability.

(And yes, all of your conclusions are probably true.)
Whose moral high ground? As an American who worked in the middle east I have seen with my own eyes the devastation and ruin which American war crimes have wrought. I'm sure if we were forced to choose between a unitary superpower of USA, China, or Russia that the vast majority of anglophones would choose USA to "rule the world" -- myself included.

But the wars in Iraq/etc were atrocities whose primary positive outcome was to fatten the owners of defense companies. That's a hell of a reason to kill as many people as we did.

Again, I'm not saying "USA is as bad as Russia", I much prefer the USA being the world superpower. But I think we have very limited moral high ground as it is. I would like us to earnestly try building a bit more of it!

Not just tables, but everything else as well. The shape and structure of your data is always defined within a schema, and a single database may have more than one.

A PostgreSQL server can contain multiple databases; they are independent and you can't access data in one database while connected to another (without dblink or something similar)

As far as I know pretty much every database (and the SQL standard) except MySQL has schemas as an explicit database object and calls them that. What MySQL calls "databases" are actually schemas; they're just containers for database objects and you can query across them (and CREATE SCHEMA is an alias for CREATE DATABASE)

EDIT:

There's a fun trick you can do with multiple schemas that illustrate why they are schemas and not just "containers of things"

You have a "data" schema that contains your table definitions; your actual, real data and indices etc. go here. Only privileged users can access this schema directly.

Then you have an "interface" schema, that contains views and functions used by people; they can refer to the data schema, and with some clever view definitions, you can do it such that they can only access the data using the views and functions in your interface schema.

At some point, you could create an "interface_v2" schema that provides better (or more) methods for accessing your data that's backwards incompatible. Old applications can continue using the "interface" schema by setting their schema search path to "interface" (which would be the default), but new applications can "overlay" the schemas by setting their search path to "interface_v2,interface" and opt-in to new functionality. The "structure" of your data is changed simply by opting in to the new schema.

It's pretty rare for people to do this (they understand versioned web APIs better than versioned database APIs), but it's a thing you can do.
Actually, it does. Value is based on perception in the market - empty or not. This is how the bubble works. Sure, leave a unit empty and it'll effect supply and thus price. But no one is knocking on doors checking occupancy. What is looked at is recent sales in the area.

The seller prices off that. The buyer gleams value the same way. Housing prices are subjective. Very much so. And this is why sale prices are so effective.

exercise is one way to lose weight.
Those tribes might move more than most of us, but that does not mean they burn a lot of calories.

I you have a few hours and do an efficient excercise like cycling or rowing, you can burn about 700 kCal once you get in shape. If you can do that 5 times a week you will loose weight (assuming that you have body fat to loose).
This is incorrect. A Tor hidden service is fundamentally different from port forwarding. If you don't have the hidden services onion address (v3 address) then you physically cannot make a connection to the hidden service. This is because the onion address is the hidden services public key.

You can scan the entire internet for open ports, you can't scan the Tor network for hidden services to connect to unless you already have the hidden services onion addresses.
I’d only touch this stuff with an airgapped machine which is imaged before and after.
This is an odd viewpoint. To me, "news" means "what is happening". I'm aware that the American news media does tend to mix a fairly heavy dose of opinion into that, but that isn't your only choice. The wire services like AP, or non-US news organizations like the BBC or Japan's NHK provide alternatives.

But these aren't "alternative viewpoints". They're just news with less opinion. Are you actually looking for news? Or different opinions?

Wow. And I thought a komodo dragon eating a pregnant deer with fetus was the worst I have seen or imagined. Ethics aside, how do the people doing the procedure stand it without going crazy.
Browser calls (and sessions) are indeed tricky to emulate - you'll generally have much better luck with reverse engineering mobile client API calls.
Similar programs I have seen hides the secret in the URL fragment, so it was never sent over the wire. However, you have a server side redirect from the invite link; what guaranty that the secret is not leaked?

Also, can you implement open graph based link preview? I guess it is hard to do that in the context of E2E.
All algorithms are designed with a purpose, and the purpose (when talking about the kind of product-defining content-prioritization algorithms being discussed) usually is grounded in value judgements. In a for-profit firm, especially, it may just be capitalist profit-maximization, but that is also an ideology.
Section 4.9.11 of the CAB Baseline Requirements[0] puts "No Stipulations" on "Other forms of revocation advertisements available" so it's probably something that CAs are allowed to add in their agreements.

Otherwise, the list of revocation reasons otherwise (4.9.1.1 Reasons for Revoking a Subscriber Certificate) doesn't seem to cover anything that would apply here.

So you think it‘s better to use a search engine openly spewing propaganda than one that tries to curb it?

It sounds like the Putin fans who seem to like him „because he‘s a strong willed man who does not change his mind“ as if that was some kind of qualification.
This is always the line but it ignores that it's more vastly more effort to correct disinformation and propaganda than it is to spew it. Don't patronize intelligent people by making them have to spend literally their entire day having to fight this garbage rather than doing useful work.
That's exactly my point. There are very few people that are real experts, people that can see code and reason everything in their heads with little or no help. There really aren't any. Everyone thinks they are, but they aren't. Having types helps the rest of us understand what is going.

I though of the republics as used in Soviet Union

They are related, the Soviet Union had a 'top level' administrative division, the
(eventually) 15 'Soviet Republics' which became independent countries after the dissolution of the union. Some of these republics (mostly Russia) also contained internal 'Autonomous Republics', among other administrative divisions of their own. Bashkorostan was once of those 'ASSR's. This is a bit of an over-simplification since some of these definitions changed over time as did the status of some of the regions in question but the main thing is, there were several kinds of 'republic'.

I don’t see how that quote applies at all.

Intolerance is something like Nazism. That’s an ideology, not information/disinformation. You can’t disprove an ideology.

Take Russia’s falsehood that the war is a “special military operation”. This is a statement which is neither tolerant nor intolerant. We can clearly see that Russia has launched a full-scale operation against Ukraine, that it is unprovoked, and thus that it is illegal. So we can conclude that “special military operation” is disinformation; just a euphemism for a crime.

A tolerant society can deal with falsehoods just fine.

Me naively thinks its better to ie put some nano foil which takes ie 5% of the light passing through on some stable orbit between earth and sun and have sun blocked without any further particulate pollution, which would end up falling on us while we breath it.

It has benefit that its position may degrade on its own over time, or be just moved when convenient. Still a gargantuan engineering project, possibly out of reach for current technology to do reliably.
> And it's just, OK now for us to be releasing stolen files from foreign governments ? We are not at war with Russia (yet).

There are plenty of discussions of stolen files originating from the American government (and others!) on Hacker News all the time. Wikileaks, NSA dumps etc.

Why is it suddenly a bad thing when it's Russian documents?
I believe Doomberg addresses your concern about CO2 emissions in the proposal a little bit.
Priority 1: Seduce Natural Gas Investment is explained to reduce the use of oil burning for homes and energy, especially in the Northeast, and "doing so would reduce our carbon footprint while strengthening our energy security."
Proposal 2: Reclaim a Leadership Position in Polysilicon, expands the use of LNG from Priority 1 to build up US manufacturing of polysilicon for solar cells thus accelerating the development of alternative energy from solar in the US.
Priority 3: Recommit to Nuclear further reduces CO2 emissions by using nuclear rather than fossil fuels for power in the grid.
Priority 4: Course Correct EV Adoption. I don't think this priority really goes against the goal of reducing net CO2 emissions from vehicles. Yes, vehicles would produce less CO2 if they were all electric only, but the priority seems to reduce CO2 emissions from current levels through a few avenues. First, more people would be able to buy a plugin hybrid electric vehicle because the cost would be reduced (less batteries than full battery EV). Second, less power would have to be drawn through the electric grid - which means coal for most of the US - and the grid itself is in dire need of an efficiency upgrade. Further, not addressed in the article, you could divert some of the LNG from Priority 1 to fuel cell vehicles/hybrid vehicles with fuel cells/batteries especially in heavy vehicles, e.g. long haul trucking.
> Every extra line of code is debt.

Sage wisdom, I wish managers took this up a little. They'd improve throughput by 10x or so in a week, and new developers would have shorter lead times. Plus quality would go up, the fastest most correct code is the stuff you never write.
I don't disagree with you and I don't pretend there are no risks with cryptocurrency. The security requirements are obviously harder, the UX is bad and even technical users fuck it up.

Some of this will be improved by tooling, some of it is just what's required for self-custody.

Still, the capability it provides is new and gives individuals more power even with these tradeoffs. That capability is valuable and shouldn't be dismissed imo. It's a lever against authoritarian control and increasing centralization of power.
DDG is already censoring. You won't f.x. find sanctioned-suicide.org when searching for "sanctioned suicide". But you can search that forum via the site keyword. Google completely removed that forum from its results.

It's hard to say - I suppose - what that tweet means practically. F.x. searching for "ukraine bio weapon laboratories". Will there be any sites discussing this without just dismissing it? And if yes, how deep are they buried? (https://twitter.com/i/status/1501306485183295488)
So this is the strategy the UK government has been using for the last few years.
Cool. Does this work on Windows too?
This comment encapsulates the inspiration behind Kable beautifully.

Developers I've spoken with have struggled to get up and running with AWS API Gateway or GCP Endpoints. They each had plans to evolve their pricing model based on business-specific metrics (like monthly active users, transactions processed, or requests to specific APIs), and they weren't able to get the per-contract or per-endpoint pricing flexibility out of these offerings that they wanted.

Kable's greatest strength is its usage metering and billing. Not every developer is going to need to outsource their entire API gateway, and that's alright. In the early days, this does help get to market faster. At scale, though, when billing becomes more and more complex, is where Kable's greatest strengths in billing shine.
Right, I think most people on HN get that. This was a thread about highway tolls.
>> Interesting, though I have to say I found Solvespace to have a much more stable solver than SOLIDWORKS.

My concern around this space is less "does it make sense" and more "if the bubble collapses as I expect, what will happen to people who take the crypto/NFT money for granted"?

I'm more interested in solutions that I expect to be stable and last. I do understand why artists are hoping to cash on the NFT wave; I just worry that a lot of people will come crashing down along with the hype.
Though it's rare these days, there is still such a thing as being modest
I like the concrete example from when I first used tensors in school. Stress in a block of concrete. You can choose any basis you like to represent the stresses and transform between them.

Whether or not the concrete block breaks under that stress obviously does not depend on your choice of basis or units, so your transformation rules had better reflect that reality.
