The appearance of persecution has always been a tool of censorship. Chilling effects etc.

It's a lot easier to create the appearance of a threat than to actually persecute lots of people, especially in the current social media landscape.
It's been quite a few years since I was vowed by a hardware demonstration. This is amazing.
It is very difficult because these are complex issues to which many people have emotional reaction that prevents seeing detailed picture.

For example, the current scare that Ukraine has bio labs to study different biological agents. That's a normal thing, every country studies viruses and bacteria etc. for public health reasons. Some of those labs need very good containment to protect the public. Due to the war there is a risk of breaking containment. But someone reports it as “bioweapons” and now everybody is scared and think that the US is developing biological warfare in Ukraine. It is almost impossible to counteract this misinformation. It can and will be used for propaganda purposes.
Right! In Europe cars with manual transmission remain very common, it allows vendors to sell the automatic version at a higher price point I imagine. At this point I’m not even sure they’re that much cheaper to make. And it’s become a weird experience—you’ll have all these features that make it feel like you’re driving a computer anyway, lane assist etc. And the car tells you when it thinks you should shift gears! I found myself muttering “if you’re so smart, why don’t you do it yourself”.
100MB is enough to send hundreds of free internet messages such as iMessage or more traditional chat apps which avoids using limited text messages on the plan. That’s a legitimate reason to keep it enabled.

If you don’t use text/call data and can get away with mostly messaging on wifi and then having that the cell connectivity for wife check ins or emergencies at work, this plan costs like $5 a month or something. Compared to a jump to $20 or higher at the next tier. For a lot of people, that’s significant.

Work arounds shouldn’t be a real solution anyway. People can’t restart their computer to solve basic IT problems. Imagine if they had to change their phone settings through multiple layers of menus.

Aside from all or nothing cell data toggle, I’m not even 100% sure if disabling Find My’s data connection stops this situation. It could go through an unknown system service for all I know. Anyhow, I classify this as an essential security app that would be unfairly unreasonable to have to opt out of for this specific use case.

Your paid phone and service just shouldn’t be freely used without your consent to benefit other people while costing you money.

Maybe it’s a nice idea, but that’s not how anything works in the society we currently have.

Edit: also another thought on this topic as a whole… if you’re the only person who goes through a specific area that someone set up with AirTags, wouldn’t that make you personally identifiable when the AirTag owner gets alerted?

You could set these up in a vault for example. Imagine the WiFi signal gets through when it’s open. When the one vault manager comes to complete the alert circuit, you would have the times he’s there or even as a boss you could see if he’s skipping his duty.
Sooner or later Russia will start selling/giving weapons to Iran or Hezbollah or Iraqi militias or 101 other groups in response. Having mostly held off when they could have made our lives hell in Afghanistan and Iraq we're opening Pandora's box here...
Do you ever own anything highly technical? My phone requires regular updates to keep it secure; as does my computer, my TV, etc. If I get my home heating repaired then it has to be with someone registered or my home insurance is void.

My first 2 cars, I could work on. They were old, easy to fix and didn't require special tools. My 2006 Yaris has a pressurized diesel system I can't mess with. So that needs specialist knowledge.
I had the same opinion as you for some time, but I'm reconsidering that stance since I went back to university in my 40s. To say I have a very bad working memory is an understatement. I'm distracted by just about anything (like now by the noisy neighborhood) and it has been like this "forever". Still, I was able to graduate with honors and outperform the students with an impressive working memory, even in projects involving creativity.
Apparently CAs have stopped issuing certificates to Russian domains
Is it really hate speech when you are being invaded and have a legitimate reason to call for the death of invading armies and their leaders? That seems like just speech to me.
CBDC isn't a prerequisite for that dystopian future suggested by the author.

In some parts of Australia, the government has been trailing cashless benefit payments. Welfare recipients are given a special "Cashless Debit Card", which can't be used to pay for alcohol or gambling. I'm pretty sure that food stamps work the same way in the USA.

Limiting purchases of fossil fuels has been done before too. During WWII most countries managed to implement fuel rationing with little more than paper tokens.
Difference being: Hungary was part of SU, Ukraine is independent. Russia needs Ukraine as a buffer between NATO. Also, being Neutral doesn't mean being disarmed, just look at Switzerland. Neutral means not associating your military views with West OR East.
> Molotov certainly was a hardass - hence the cocktail.

The Molotov cocktail was named ironically after Molotov by Finns.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov_cocktail

The name "Molotov cocktail" was coined by the Finns during the Winter War, called Molotovin koktaili in Finnish. The name was a pejorative reference to Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov, who was one of the architects of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact signed in late August 1939.

The name's origin came from the propaganda Molotov produced during the Winter War, mainly his declaration on Soviet state radio that bombing missions over Finland were actually airborne humanitarian food deliveries for their starving neighbours. As a result, the Finns sarcastically dubbed the Soviet cluster bombs "Molotov bread baskets" in reference to Molotov's propaganda broadcasts.[3] When the hand-held bottle firebomb was developed to attack and destroy Soviet tanks, the Finns called it the "Molotov cocktail", as "a drink to go with his food parcels".
Ahh, very interesting, thank you. I didn't realize they used a very different process.
This opinion piece has to be satire. It's not hard to pick the idea apart and the ideas presented are self-contradicting.

> It might be difficult to vary the frequency of alternating electrical current. This would cause the old-fashioned synchronous clocks and timers to disagree with sunrise standard time. Some household appliances might need to be adjusted or replaced.

> Of course, people would be upset that their existing timepieces became obsolete. But really, is the cost of replacing clocks and watches a significant burden? You could stick a little sunrise standard time display onto the face of your beloved grandfather clock.

The tone in these sections is the clearest suggestion of satire.
In the case of Optimum/Altice (Long Island, NY), you use the credentials for your Web login account (which carries its own risk, as that’s also your billing portal).

I don’t feel that it works especially well. They make it difficult to log into different hot spots. They have a “remember this device” thing, that doesn’t work very well.
From my BA experience it could also be a runaway project manager issue or runaway data analytics issue as people just say hey let's get that piece of data.

Is it useful? Rarely asked. But more importantly, they rarely got pulled off when proved to be useless.
This matters in the article because its an unusual data point, easily investigated.
The machine could send back diagnostic information, and then maintenance or replacement could be scheduled with the "owner".

For example the lint filter could have a sensor and owner could be punished if they didn't clean that :)

Machines wear unevenly and maintenance could prolong the lifespan considerably.
> That you aren't willing to pay for search means it isn't very important to you.

Or that they don't have money to throw away on things that aren't things necessary to live. Your statement is only true if the person you respond to is quite wealthy, which is a leap.
Also elaborated in the latter Neutral vs Conservative: The Eternal Struggle https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/05/01/neutral-vs-conservativ...
So at what point does the level of censorship become comparable to that of the dictatorships that we busily decry? If anything we are doing a better job at it. It's scary how commonly this has become accepted, all for the greater good of the stupid masses apparently.
SATA, thus my IO-limitation conclusion.

I got a new workstation recently with a good PCIe 4.0 NVMe, maybe I get around to retry and compared with that.
I think if you include the cost of an iphone then it's probably more expensive then the alternatives (unless you connect it to your own iphone/account in which case Apple will happily give your details to the police if the Airtag is found). I think the bigger problem is that if you're being tracked and you don't have some iDevice plus someone has tampered with the airtag speaker you're not going to be notified of its presence unless you install and use the airtag scanner app, which is a poor solution in my opinion. I'd like to see them open up the mesh protocol at least enough so that Android or other devices could see tags near them/be notified if they're being followed without having to opt-in
The brutal art of early Soviet antireligious propaganda posters, 1920-1940
If NATO declared a no fly zone, assuming the Russian government is rational and primarily concerned about about their military objectives, it would immediately remove all their planes from Ukraine because it’s almost certain that the Western powers would obtain full aerial supremacy very fast. And any full scale attempt by Russia to contest it would lead to the destruction of their airforce.

With ground forces it’s not that clear, Russia could still try to and potentially succeed to achieve some military objectives (especially if they are able to occupy any densely populated areas before NATO forces show up) because NATO countries would be 100x times less willing to sacrifice the lives of their soldiers and probably much less willing to risk civilian casualties.

Also, assuming there is a guarantee (which is obviously impossible) I assume most people in western countries would support a no fly zone. I expect much fewer would support actual boots on the ground even given the same guarantee.

Of course the risk of escalation is too great in either case..
It will be a paid service after it exits beta. I guess accounts will still be required.
Right, multiple modalities help a lot here.

With radar you get pretty close and pretty consistent false positives (that is the reason Tesla dropped it) and with Lidar, instead of a point cloud for the object, snowflakes turn it into two seemingly random ones (the flakes and the remaining object ones). We're not there (yet?) in terms of proper lifting from measurement to object models. You can track long and survive some clutter, but then emergency breaking is hard, because you lack the history of that object.
The headline is editorialized, and even its original text is misleading.

Facebook will allow calls for violence (not hate speech) against Russian soldiers (not civilians).

This link should be flagged and removed.
Repeat after me:

The majority of people do not like interviewing.

The majority of people do not like investing their own time to change jobs.

The majority of people do not want the mental and emotional burden of changing jobs and feeling guilty over it.

The majority of people do not get amazing job offers frequently and will have to manually filter to find better opportunities.

The majority of people do not like taking a risk which may not pan out. Especially while having little savings.

Job-hopping being so prevalent is a result of the market. Despite the increasing number of barriers. If you do things differently from the market that prevent those incentives, I assure you, the majority will stop job-hopping.
> The easy out for Ukraine was to just go neutral

No, it wasn’t.

Heck, Russia’s ultimatum before attacking Ukraine wasn’t mostly directed at Ukraine, but at NATO, and at withdrawing from the entire Eastern European part of NATO, giving up further expansion, and not even doing exercises in the Eastern part of NATO (much less with non-NATO partners in Eastern Europe) without advance permission from (not notice to) Russia. (It also included a permanent ban on Ukraine joining NATO, but since it featured a permanent ban on NATO expansion as well, that was kind of redundant.)

> Europe was _so_ intent on pleasing their master, the US, that they intentionally and recklessly followed _this_ path?

The Eastern European members of the EU and NATO (which are virtually the same) have more concern about checking Russian bullying of its neighbors than either Western Europe or the US.

> If there’s not a moral reason for it

There is. The moral reason is not rewarding Russia's fairly consistent warmongering and bullying against its neighbors for the last couple decades.

> and there’s not a realpolitik reason for it

There’s that too. Its in part the same as the moral reason (to the extent that it can be described with the same words), but not because of the morality of rewarding the behavior, but because of the reasonably forseeable consequences of rewarding it, and how for everyone concerned who isn’t Ukraine (but especially the other Eastern European countries), its better that the hard fighting that is inevitable wherever the line is drawn is drawn where the conflict is now than where it would be next time.
Learn cryptography, write cryptographic software, it's really important that people out of the US do so. Because if a bill like this passes we will need software without backdoors.
That sounds like they had an agreement with your dealer to get notified on every sale, so maybe there was something in the purchase agreement.
There's always this effect of "X says there are lots of foo, incredible amounts. But we are good people, which is why we believe that there is practically no foo."

"What, you disagree that we should kick off people who claim that we're wrong to say that there's practically no foo? Let me round you to the X's, who claim there's lots of foo, which is crazy."

(Of course, this caricature is immediately picked up by the people who actually do believe there's lots of foo, and who very much appreciate either them passing as moderates, or the moderates being counted as them.)

And, of course, the reverse. In an outrage-based social media landscape, it is impossible to be a moderate: you will be rounded off to the extremists regardless of what you actually say.

However, I don't want to pay more than $100/year for a Google/Bing frontend. Startpage works quite well for that. If they made their own indexer I would go all-in, and that would justify such a high price-tag.

I think that's a pretty good metaphor. I have been stuck on the parallels between locks and encryption for a while. This kinda cleared that up.
"Antivaxx rethoric" is just more labeling to dismiss people for not complying with whatever the new authoritarian push is. Hell, all the labels get put together and people who opposed Lockdowns and hurtful covid policies got called racist far right anti vaxxers because it's easier than using actual data.

Much of the "anti lockdown/mask/covid vaccine mandates" was and is slowly vindicated day by day no matter how much money or power you throw into the mix to convince people otherwise.

The Pfizer publications https://youtu.be/7YOD9drZasM are definitely being ignored by most media but are just one more nugget that those you called anti vaxxers that wanted the right to make their own risk analysis were right and those who sold you a lie did it knowingly.

Abhorrent is your intolerance and the happiness with which much of the population pushed segregation and deshumanization.

For me personally the usage of my resources was apparently so low as to go unnoticed.

I had to be told by the Internet that it was even happening to an extent that could be noticed.

It would be interesting to have stats though.
No conspiracy theory, it's all what governments - of the free-world (sic) - will be able to do. Well, it turns out they can already do many of those things, albeit not that easily: freezing assets of CBs (Russia), freezing assets and properties of protesters (Canada) ... But this is going to make things much easier for them. Instead of freezing assets (and in the case of Central Bank spending a lot of time to patch any loop hole), they will just simply press the delete button - broke a "rule", money gone.

Tracking who spend for what, where and when is the holy grail of our great democracies.

I think you don't really own even a petroleum vehicle. For example, an engine is controlled by non-FOSS computer device for fuel injecting. Another example, you can not turn off your seat-belt alert. Please note, I am not a big fun of carburetor engines or driving without seat-belts. But if I can not turn on an engine without running some malware and have to obey to some guy who has written what I ought to do while sitting in my car then I am not an owner of the engine and the rest of "my" car.

Is that from the Tesco supermarket chain or convenience store? I’ve never been in a Tesco, but wikipedia tells me that Tesco Express (convenience stores) stores charge more than the supermarkets. It would be a bit unfair to compare supermarket pricing to a convenience store. Part of the value proposition of a convenience store is there’s always on nearby and you can be in and out in less than a minute (if you know what you want).

Anyway, I couldn’t find anything as basic as Just Ham at 7/11. The nearest equivalent I could find includes ham, cheese, lettuce, and “sauce” (actually pretty tasty… kind of like an aioli). It’s also more expensive than I remembered - apparently they recently increased the price from ¥248 to ¥270 due to increased materials cost.

https://www.sej.co.jp/products/a/item/050710/kanto/

So a bit more expensive at 7/11 but you’re getting cheese and fresh lettuce in addition to ham (we’ll call mayo/sauce vs butter a draw here).

Personally I’d have no problem going with the 7/11 sandwich when I need a quick bite on the run (and indeed I have many times), but I’d probably pass on the Just Ham sandwich. Even if they cheat a bit on the filling, there’s just a lot more flavor and texture in the 7/11 sandwich.
> Difference being: Hungary was part of SU

Hungary was never part of Soviet Union.

Hungary was theoretically independent, member of Warsaw pact, and Russia claimed it under its sphere of influence.
> They should down-rank their trusted sources when their trusted sources publish disinformation.

If search engines thought that their trusted sources were publishing disinformation, they wouldn't be trusted sources.

You just disagree with their decisions about what is trustworthy, that's all. There's nothing deeper going on, it's not surprising that a search engine trusts a source that it trusts.
you can disable it.
In this day and age I wouldn’t be surprised if this was just a marketing stunt.
It's easier to do this on the server side based on Accept header, e.g. for Apache to serve image.jpg.webp instead of image.jpg:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} image/webp
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.webp -f
RewriteRule ^/?(.+?)\.(jpe?g|png)$ /$1.$2.webp [NC,T=image/webp,E=EXISTING:1,E=ADDVARY:1,L]

<FilesMatch "(?i)\.(jpe?g|png)$">
Header append "Vary" "Accept"
</FilesMatch>

Then <img src="image.jpg"> will serve the supported format.

> Difficult-to-detect undefined behaviour is a significant problem with C and C++, otherwise it wouldn't be a major cause of serious security vulnerabilities in well-resourced, high-profile, security-sensitive C/C++ codebases.

Do you mean difficult-to-detect but "obviously" bugs that can lead to UB, like buffer overflows that only happen in rare circumstances (like with unsanitized input)? Or do you mean difficult to detect unexpected "miscompilations" by the compiler based on some UB that is non-obvious to most programmers and/or not well-known?

Because I was referring to the latter, and in my perception most talk about UB is. I haven't seen the latter happen myself, and I haven't read that many horror stories where this actually happened.

For better or worse, I'm not angry with the compiler if I code a logic bug and corruption happens. That's just what I expect.

Maybe if you're indeed saying the latter is a "major cause of security vulnerabilities", could you provide a few examples where it's the language's or compiler's "fault"? I can see that the line is not well defined here of course, because technically it's all just UB - but the distinction really was my point, which I made from a practical perspective.
