You don't know if they ESD protection or not. There are loads of tiny little ESD protection ICs/diodes that can handle many inputs. Just put them very close to the connectors and you should be good to go from an ESD perspective. You don't need a metal shield around everything to protect against ESD.

Every USB device connected to your PC right now probably has a little ESD protection IC in it. Usually sitting right next to the USB connector (as close as possible).
i don't believe in ethically owning those cars either....

and this ostentatious excess a side effect of the processes that got us into critical climate change in the first place: a proliferation of needless consumption driven by manufactured demand due to excessive production.

and yes, we need to massively rethink car and transportation infrastructure to compensate.

maybe it is you who is limited in actual eyesight?
I don't understand how this answers GPs question at all. They already said that they don't want OTA update type "features".

I'm interested because I've had similar questions myself. I'd like to buy an electric car but hate touch screen controls, telemetry, and being forced to rely on the manufacturer for repairs. So far I don't know of any EVs that come without those design issues.
In this scenario, gov could easily penalize or ration conversions to cash, limiting this escape hatch. They wouldn't go that way immediately because outrage, but it'd get increasingly doable and tempting as people get used to CBDC. (Lots of precedent for this pattern.) I've already read one economist's proposal to tax cash withdrawals in order to support negative interest rates, a couple years ago.
this sounds like a snarky remark, but a hybrid public transportation mode where an autonomous van can pick up people at their convenience is exactly desirable, more than the public bus or train today. Less walking, less waiting, on demand connection.

Oof, never thought about this one. Do we have systems in place that would quickly and reliably differentiate an unexpected asteroid impact from a nuclear strike?
Right, DNSSEC will solve the "manipulate" problem, but it won't solve the "see" problem. But whether that's a concern is up to you. You could run your resolver on a VPS and speak DoT / DoH to that, which shifts the leak from your ISP to your VPS provider.
Quite amazing! Regardless of the profitability or scaling this up, it’s refreshing seeing the modularity where the sum is much larger than the parts. Well, here the sum likely is larger than the product!
This is correct. Based on public statements, the record appears to be the Russian Don-2N battle management radar facility: in the 1998 revision of the SIOP, it had 69 consecutive warheads dedicated to its destruction [0].

I consider myself fairly liberal but I have to say that the progressive movement has been far too focused on identity/social justice politics and not on things that will really impact and help the community. I'm left with no party that I think has it right. If anything I want a return to some moderate rational politics. Both sides just keep getting more and more extreme and shifting their policies to canceling each other and things they don't like without listening or trying to understand each other. I'm scared for where we are going.

I mean Seattle is "progressive" but we let all these homeless people live on the streets! If we are so progressive then why do we not provide and force them into housing (or mental wards or anything)? Why do we not have an income tax?! This state makes no sense but I am stuck here because my kids are in high school.

Ah, while thinking of an adequate response to this comment, I think I may have discerned the nature of his complaint in context of what is happening at large. To both clarify my own thoughts and hopefully share what may be a useful revelation I've taken the time to write out a somewhat long-form response below.

*TTP Transactions*

When transactions are brokered through a TTP such as via swiping a credit card at Walmart. The transaction is then brokered by Visa, Mastercard, et. al. who retains the ability to reconcile various types of disputes & fraudulent transactions after the fact with minimal loss of money. At any point the central authority can technically reverse charges without the consent of either originating party.

My non-expert, "educated layman's" understanding is secure online digital communication was designed with the express intent of being used in this kind of scenario. You have a number of transactions of which some non-zero quantity are fradulent, relying on the affected parties to initiate some kind of arbitrage via the trusted third party. Prior to crypto, very few (if any) transactions performed online were irreversible economic transactions requiring *full trust* in the security of the communication channel to mitigate fraudulent transactions. Which brings me to what I believe to be his primary point of contention, putting gripes about specific decisions and technologies aside...

---

*Non-TTP Transactions*

Crypto currencies that require zero-trust in a third-party have no(?) mechanism with which to mitigate fraud.

That means your entire chain of communication, from physical layer all the way up to end-user, must be hardened against forms of irrecoverable tampering, that would otherwise be a recoverable nuisance in a TTP model.

As one of the engineers who designed & put into place a large part of the security around the communication channel being used PHB appears to be taking offense to the assertion that this exploit was due to a flaw in "the web's" security.

Simply put, it was never designed to be the first and final layer of defense against fraudulent activity, and if we want crypto currency to be 'the future' we should walk in the path of our predecessors and design a communication stack that explicitly addresses the concerns of being used for non-TTP transactions.

China uses the same justifications to block Western news sources, with the goal of reducing dissent and maintaining harmony.

There's almost certainly truth in this claim of propaganda, but I don't see a big difference in the mindset, reasons, and methods (government applying pressure to social media companies). This may be "right", but it's definitely similar in many aspects.

There's a well known paradox in nuclear strategy where counter-force targeting is actually more "humane", but it requires the nation to keep more nukes in service.

On the other hand, a small stockpile will deter your enemy only if you are willing to use your stockpile on your enemy's population centers.
You want a switch that also kills power without software or firmware.

I had a Dell that once got stuck and the usual long press of the power button was not switching it off (probably it was sw/fw controlled). I had to take it apart and disconnect the battery, otherwise I would have lost my working day waiting for it to die.

$7.60/US gallon, assuming £1.539/L (price this afternoon for ordinary petrol at the petrol station I usually go to).
Unless you are far far away (like NZ or Aus) you are better off dying instantly. Even far away, and even if there is no nuclear winter sort of result, the radiation and effects are likely get you as well. Volcanic dust can be pretty widespread (Krakatoa is likely bigger than all the nukes we have) but it's far more localized unlike a general nuclear exchange, plus the dust is likely to be both radioactive and contain all sorts of nasty volatilized chemicals.

He's also been suspended from YouTube (according to his own tweets).

He's also pushed disinformation on his own channels, most notably (for me) around the so-called "freedom convoy" occupation of Ottawa, very much pushing the right-wing talking points around the whole thing.

I suspect that the reason he's upset about DDG filtering disinformation is that he's worried people like him who push false narratives will be next.

- better accessibility, this color scheme doesn’t work for the color blind

- what about wet vs dry days? i.e. Precipitation

This is a nit, but idle control was automated well before drive-by-wire took over. Idle could be on closed loop control, but if the idle solenoid failed, it was less catastrophic than losing throttle control.
It’s not really reinventing the wheel, I make use of sql, pandas, pyspark, sparksql, data.table, bigquery, it all depends on the use case.

Dataframe abstractions are really easy to understand so I have worked with journalists and biologists who are able to work productively with pandas or R. Transforming and analyzing data is often easier to write with pyspark while spark sql makes it easy to access and extract data from some data sources.

It all really depends on who is your customer, who are your coworkers, how much volume of data do you have, how much time do you have to accomplish your task etc.
It doesn't solve the "manipulate" problem we're talking about here, either: nothing about DNSSEC prevents a DNS server (or middlebox) from denying results to a disfavored domain; it only (situationally) prevents them from redirecting it somewhere else. (And, of course, it only works if you're running your own recursive server; it does nothing whatsoever in the 8.8.8.8-type use case).
In this case, it's more of a proxy for discussion of fears of nuclear war given the rise in tensions since the invasion of Ukraine, I think.
I experienced this first-hand. In the 80s I want to a Christian high school in Ohio[0] (funnily enough, I was classmates with Brian Warner aka Marilyn Manson). We had chapel once a week with some visiting preacher/lecturer. Several of them railed very explicitly against D&D.

One told us that at the Dungeons and Dragons “factory,” there was a witch’s hut in the forest nearby. Before each set was packaged for shipping they were all sent out to her, where she personally dedicated them to Satan.

There was a series of books some of us read, young adult fiction (can’t recall or find the title), where some of the characters played D&D, lost their minds due to the devil’s curse, and died in awful ways.

I played anyway, of course, just not with friends from school.

> [matter-antimatter annihilation] converts all the mass of the annihilating particles into energy, typically gamma photons. However, if the particles do contain information, then this also needs to be conserved upon annihilation, producing some lower-energy photons. In the present study, I predicted the exact energy of the infrared red photons resulting from this information erasure, and I gave a detailed protocol for the experimental testing involving the electron-positron annihilation process.

Neat.
Also handy for finding cell phone ping ranges.
I had always been (pretty much) a straight-A student up until the point at which my (increasingly conservative, Christian) confiscated some D&D alike books which I had bought with my own money around the age of 14. It broke our relationship, I’ve never achieved what I could have done (although I’m OK by most measures) because I lost all motivation and we communicate occasionally, acrimoniously once every decade or so. Really I don’t give a f*k about them any more.

I just don’t understand why people put such unnecessary barriers between themselves and their children. It’s just a sodding book.
They don't, so they shouldn't use it.
I friend of mine just bought a 1600 dollar model, you can get a flagship cell phone for about the same amount.
This is a great ETF! Stock Unlock is adding support for ETF's in the next couple weeks ^_^

I would like to add, a lot of investors will have a majority of their holdings in indexes/ETFs/Mutual Funds, but that doesn't mean you can't take an allocation and put it into other assets, that some may consider more risky (i.e. an individual stock).

If you ever get curious about looking at stocks/"opening the hood" I'd appreciate it if you thought of us, if not have a great day. Thanks!
i hear you. and i'm sympathetic. it is a real loss.

but that mentality is also why we're fucked. we are losing our way of life anyway, why not choose the easy things to give up now?

Well, FreeBSD 11 https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/ packages are still available. The ports tree itself cannot build packages for 11 anymore though.

I do agree that FreeBSD tends to delete stuff the second that it goes EOL. The ports project is the worst violator of this. The ports tree takes manpower to maintain and keep building. The mirrors for packages use very large donated systems and bandwidth (AFAIK) and don't have as much pressure to delete old packages.

> In 2020, someone bought a used Tesla advertised with autopilot and full self-driving features, which at the time cost $8,000 for the previous owner to unlock and enjoy. Unfortunately, the new owner didn’t get those features, as Tesla disabled them once it changed hands.

Note that this is not exclusive to cars. Presonus did this to me when I purchased a StudioLive rack mixer. The previous owner had access to the “free” DSP programs it has built-in to do various effects like compression in the device itself. When he switched the registration to me, those were disabled and I’d have to pay to unlock them, because as Presonus said, they were only free as a promo offer to the initial purchaser and non-transferable, despite other parts of the licensed software being transferable. To add insult, that pack of DSP plugins that run in this thing are the ONLY available plugins, so it’s not like I can get some open-source or third-party ones.

I dislike them so much after this whole interaction that I won’t ever buy their stuff again and will repeat this story to anyone who will listen. I didn’t pay for the plug-in pack a second time, because I refuse to give them more money. I just got an external compressor instead.

Anyway, total BS IMO for manufacturers to disable functionality that the hardware had when new when it changes hands.
No, consumers will likely be paying the capped price.

(A regulator on behalf of) the British government sets a six monthly price cap, based on the actual prices from a historical six month period, ordinarily this cap just means that people who are too poor or too lazy to "shop around" for a better deal pay no more than this amount for their electricity, but because the UK uses a lot of natural gas to make electricity and European gas prices are very high now (even though the UK has its own gas fields and doesn't use very much Russian gas) the cap is actually lower than any rational supplier would offer, and so there are no "better deals" out there, the alternatives are fixed rates far higher than the cap for long periods, essentially a bet that prices will go much higher and stay high.

Right now the price cap is 21p per kWh (plus standing charges) and in April it rises to 28p per kWh, it is already anticipated that in October it will be closer to 40p per kWh.

Because metric units are convenient that means right now wholesale energy prices above £210 per MWh mean a loss even before expenses to the suppliers, and from April until October, wholesale prices above £280 per MWh are likewise a loss. Peak prices of typically £300-£400 are literally bankrupting the suppliers.

For small suppliers the consequence is they went bankrupt last year, in huge numbers once these prices began to bite. Some hadn't even been profitable with normal prices, so now asked to eat millions of pounds per month of losses they just folded. Their customers were handed to the other suppliers, on these capped rates, which are of course hurt those suppliers too. The biggest will probably survive this, if necessary with government money (although none of the "suppliers" for consumers actually supply any electricity anywhere, they exist on paper to satisfy a pro-business agenda for government, obviously if you're confident of the principle that capitalism is a good idea then more capitalism is a better idea right?)

Anyway, as a result of the cap, essentially all consumers are not paying what electricity actually costs. British consumers are angry because their bills went up maybe 40-50%. But the wholesale prices more than doubled. They, as you might say, ain't seen nothing yet.

I can afford this, lots of people cannot.

Thanks, but those figures weren't what I was asking about -- I do believe in their accuracy, and used a similar breakdown when writing my comment. I meant regarding the following:

> [Arab Israeli citizens owning private land] apply similar restriction on any Jewish family trying to settle in a predominantly Arab town or village. A similar restriction doesn't apply to predominantly Jewish towns, only to small community villages.

I'm not sure, because you clearly make a distinction between towns and small community villages, so I could be wrong, but it sounds like even there you are describing the (probably rampant) petty discrimination by individuals on 4% of the land. My default is also to assume there are comparable levels of petty discrimination on the other 3% of private land, unless you have some reference to support your comments about restrictions only applying in the other direction.

To repeat another point though, I am highlighting the rigidly enforced discrimination on at least 13% of the land, and think this is far more significant than haphazard petty discrimination on either side of the 4% and 3% private land divide, where creating or buttressing homogenous communities is far harder without state support (though one side does have that). Never mind that, like I said I don't have time to research it now, but I think a substantial portion of that 80% of state land has similar restrictions in place against non-Jewish nationals.

As I said:

> Of course there will be petty discrimination, perhaps even rooted in each side's belief that each property transaction is really a territorial battle. The actions of consequence are those of the state and those backed by the state apparatus.

To make clear the reasons for this:

- they cover a far greater proportion of the land

- they are far more rigidly enforced

- their power to engineer demography is far greater, as the instruments at their disposal are far more powerful (punitive travel/work restrictions, evictions, municipal infrastructure support/denial, military support/harassment, etc.)

I think in the some cases like people mentioned above, it's no longer collaboration but more of a consultation. The benefit is only going in one direction: to the consultantee. In that case, you need some way to make the nature of that relationship explicit and valued. Otherwise these consultants begin to feel they're being put in a position of working for someone else without management recognizing that and compensating it as such.
Looks like he is preparing to shed some blame, or eliminate some people who advised compromise?
