Well you are right that the LDP, the conservative party, has been elected basically every time in post war Japan. I disagree that it is based on nationalism though.

LDP gained power with the help of the CIA when the US was worried about the Soviet Union and wanted to rearm Japan (the LDP wants to rearm Japan). The majority of Japanese public has even up to this day been opposed to getting rid of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution which outlaws Japan from going to war, which is why Japan's constitution remains as the oldest unamended constitution in the world despite the LDP's efforts to amend it. I think there's a big gap between how the LDP's right wing members (its worth noting that the LDP is a large multi faction party with a wide range of political ideology) and the Japanese public largely because many LDP members are relatives of people responsible for WW2 and so they have revisionist view of the war. The Japanese public on the other hand are Pacifists because of Pacifist education. Teacher's unions were largely socialist/communist especially the early days and strongly against imperialism. Also pacifism is a part of Japanese identity because of the constitution that prohibits war, much like how gun ownership is a part of American identity.

The LDP has been in power so long that it is really the only party that has experience running the country. Japan has had brief success in electing opposition parts two times, but both times, a major earthquake occurred (1995, 2011) and the Japanese public wanted the LDP back for stability. I think that the LDP remains in power today because Japanese want stability and harmony.

I will say that pacifism is waning, but this has less to do with a sort of make Japan greater again nationalism and more to do with North Korean missiles being fired towards Japan. Again Japanese want stability and harmony so slowly opening up to the possibility of constitutional revision is largely a factor of wanting stability. This also means the Japanese absolutely hate the fringe ultra nationalists who blast their hatred on their mega phone vans. I will say though, the desire for stability and harmony also helps the nationalists because the left (besides the communist party) sees protests as divisive and unfortunately pushback against the right is rather weak.

Do you have a source for this? It seems (coldly and terrifyingly) sound from logical perspective, at least to the extent that "logical" is a word that can be applied to something that threatens the entire human race.

But I'm curious how much if any official doctrine has become public.

If you live in a suburban bedroom community, there
is a very high chance of you surviving an initial
attack unscathed.

One might imagine a regime that was sufficiently evil and/or endangered enough to launch wide-scale nuclear attacks might also spare a few warheads for such bedroom communities as well, especially if resistance continued after an initial exchange. Would be a terrifyingly effective way to cow a populace - to make them feel nowhere was safe.
In that case maybe something like DNSCrypt[0] and a 3rd party provider makes sense. On top of the encrypted connection, DNSCrypt has the option to proxy queries to improve privacy.

This only helps if they're not doing any advanced blocking though. If I remember correctly, when Russia blocked Telegram, they were blocking their IPs, not just DNS queries. If the rumours of a "RuNet" are true, then they probably need something more advanced (eg: a VPN with traffic obfuscation, Tor, etc).

These are my favorite books. I love dated books because it's great way to look into the past. The internet is awful for that purpose. Some day people will wonder what the 2010s were like, and nobody will know.

There are tons of parallels between the media and moral panic over DnD/Satanism and the media and moral panic over Whiteness/BLM/White supremacy.

I truly believe we'll look back at the age of wokeism the same way we look back at other moral panics.

High school in Ireland, 1983 or 1984. A few of us started an after school D&D club. The school allowed us to use a classroom. It was great until a parent complained that we were "devil worshipping". The vice principal was very apologetic but said the school had to shut it down.

> If you don't like ads (or block them), how come you are not a freeloader?

They sent us the web page for free. It's their choice, they don't get to shame us for it.

They did that because they assumed we'd look at the ads. The chance that this assumption would turn out to be false was always there. There's just no way they didn't know about this risk.

What's happening is we don't want to look at this noise. We're not gonna do it. They need to accept that and move on instead of shaming us for invalidating the silly assumptions their business model is based on. Where does it say we're obligated to "give back" in exchange for their "free" content? That's just an idea they made up. They got it into their minds that we are "supposed" to pay them back by viewing ads when we are under exactly zero obligation to do so. They are not entitled to our attention.
Assuming a totally steady-state biosphere, and that zero-carbon energy and carbon capture are mutually exclusive, which are not a valid assumptions. Almost every first-world country's biosphere is limited by human action, so a country running on "zero carbon" energy can allow the biosphere to capture carbon at effectively the same rate as the biofuel country, and not release the carbon back into the atmosphere.
nah i'm good
It's about etiquette, not about your time. Remember what Emily Post says about hello[1], "On very informal occasions, it is the present fashion to greet an intimate friend with “Hello!” This seemingly vulgar salutation is made acceptable by the tone in which it is said. To shout “Hullow!” is vulgar, but “Hello, Mary” or “How ’do John,” each spoken in an ordinary tone of voice, sound much the same. But remember that the “Hello” is spoken, not called out, and never used except between intimate friends who call each other by the first name."

Saying "hello" is not some devious plan to interrupt you, but rather a thing that humans do rather than act like a bot.

They are western centric, and unfortunately, in this current state of the web they're still essentially the authority on DNS.

Alternatively, you can maintain the NSes for all the TLDs you are particularly interested in, and alert yourself if they change to something you don't recognize.

Finally, keep in mind that whatever you do, you need to have multiple vantage points to the internet. There's not a lot stopping your ISP from not delivering you to the right host when you try to talk to it. E.g. your ISP can fake the DNS responses.
Just for clarity: almost nobody uses DNSSEC. It's not just Google. Verify yourself with any list of popular/important domains; just write the shell loop to do a `dig ds +short $domain` across all of them.

Couldn’t agree more. When you realise to lose 0.25kg a week you have eat at a deficit of 250 kcal per day, that’s already a lot. One snack and you’ve compensated already. Oxygen tricks won’t change that reality.

To add to Clean Simple Eats; get a book like Greg Doucette’s cookbook. His youtube channel is a bit cringe but his food is the real deal. Eating high fiber, high protein and calorie sparse (as opposed to dense) is a huge help to stay full but not eat too much.
Let me strengthen what I just said.

I know what you're referring to (systemd-resolved "defaulting" to Google DNS). That "default" is a compile-time value, if you use something like gentoo you get to be in full control of what that default value is.

There is one caveat I would add. While you can always build just about any kind of database or data model on top of a logical KV store, the scalability and performance is almost always going to be qualitatively worse for queries than using a storage engine purpose-built for the intended type of database or data model. It is simpler to implement, which is why people do it, but you give up a lot of selectivity and locality on the query side.

The target design case for KV stores is when all your queries are essentially trivial. Layering SQL on top of it implies the expected use case is complex queries of the type where a KV store won't perform well. Good for a compatibility interface, but not performant.
A family friend told me about ten years ago that she thought Harry Potter had occult elements. I pointed out to her that JK Rowling is a Scottish Episcopalian and compared it with the Narnia story cycle, which is also the work of a Christian. Didn't go down that well.

(There is a chain of toy stores in the UK that will not stock anything Harry Potter-related because of this kind of belief.)

It's not just the oral fixation and act of smoking. Cigarettes genuinely suppress appetite. As an added bonus, after you smoke for a while (not that long), your taste buds don't work very well and eating becomes less pleasurable.
Hard to say. If the expert has something informative, I'd probably rather read it at my own pace. The newbiew might be more inspirational, or point out flaws that everyone steeped in the system aren't aware of, or otherwise be more interesting. Depends on the people.
Small City Sets Example for Floating Solar, Empowered by NREL Data Set
For something to exist, it has to be observed.
For something to exist, it has to have a position in time and space.
And this explains why nine-tenths of the mass of the universe is unaccounted for.
Nine-tenths of the universe is the knowledge of the position and direction of everything in the other tenth. Every atom has its biography, every star its file, every chemical exchange its equivalent of the inspector with a clipboard. It is unaccounted for because it is doing the accounting for the rest of it, and you cannot see the back of your own head. (except in very small universes).
Nine-tenths of the universe, in fact, is the _paperwork_.

Pumped hydro is cool, but we already have more storage than we need, its called "not burning gas". And until we run out of opportunities to not burn gas, theres no real demand for storage. Hopefully well get there soon, but the more people say "we can't build more renewables until we have storage", the longer that is going to take.
I bought a Concept 2 BikeErg <https://www.concept2.com/bikeerg/concept2-bikeerg> two years ago, and have really enjoyed it. It's solidly built, it accepts standard cycling components (I replaced the stock pedals for some clipless ones), and the damper-flywheel is smooth and somewhat realistic.

At $1k, it's both very expensive and much cheaper than a Peloton or NordicTrac bike. If you're looking for a home setup, I highly recommend it. It won't help you if you need classes or other social interactivity, but my exercise time is me time.
A throttle cable has one trivially diagnosable and fixable failure mode, it might snap. Although in practice they rarely do.

A highly complex interconnected message bus has hundreds of bugs (guaranteed) and many unpredictable failure modes. Also diagnostics is potentially impossible if the manufacturer hides the details.

All matter is information, all information is functional, and perception is therefore the lazy evaluation of the universe.

Yes, your fears are justified. Not only will it change how others first interpret you, but it will also change your world view as you will only get to see things from a systems engineer perspective. Systems engineering can be a gateway into software development. But if you can be a developer just do that, don’t use a stepping stone you don’t need.

Ranking is the whole point of a search engine.
I'm not a statistician so I can't possibly get into a discussion about what is worthwhile information for collection. I am aware that a lot of planning goes into such questions to avoid potential abuse (even by the government), the goal being to ask the minimum needed to provide governance while also providing a historically meaningful snapshot.
I don't think there is a strong argument against having a census, it's a more privacy preserving approach to planning than other forms of data collection such as mandatory registers or combining existing government databases - medical, births/deaths/marriages, automotive, postal, taxation, education and so on (in this example the resulting database has too much information about the population, governments are mindful to keep these databases separate on purpose.)

Back to your point though: Arguably a lot of needed and seemingly benign information can still be problematic. As one commenter noted, merely indicating childrens' presence can be a problem, while such information is clearly beneficial for governance.

Ultimately protections should be in place regardless of the kinds of information that is sought, since one can't foresee all potential forms of abuse such data collection can bring, nor how such information can be merged with additional data sources to reveal more accurate profiles (as is the contemporary issue of online privacy.)

Either this uses the word "information" in a way that is 99% divorced from common usage or the philosophical implications of this are massive. It would essentially mean that truth or falsity is an inherent property of the universe. Is this string gibberish or is it information? Might even change cryptography forever, too
This is sort of what we're trying with our Technologist in Residence job for senior engineers at the Harvard Library Innovation Lab -- not exactly part time, but we work library hours that really are limited to 35 hours a week, with a negotiable portion of your 35 going to your own open-knowledge research rather than to our existing projects.
they mean the west has systematically overthrown governments, strip-mined the natural resources, drawn arbitrary country borders, funded extremist groups, bombed civilian populations, gone to war because the extremists they originally backed got too strong, etc etc in the Middle East for generations

then if all else fails, they do sanctions, which of course NEVER affect the ruling class, they merely provide the rulers a tool to point more hatred at the west - you think it's the ruling class that can't get diabetes medication due to sanctions? No of course not, it's the average person.
nuclear is also incredibly hard to build an accurate model for because the concern tends to revolve around the risk of human stupidity causing major issues.

on top of that, i feel like there is a lot of hand waving involved with the waste. if we really industrialized nuclear fuel worldwide - we would be creating a lot of nuclear waste. theoretically, this isnt a problem.

what id like to see, and may do one day if i run out of projects, is at what risk factor does nuclear equal fossil fuels. not, look how much better it is, but "this is about how dumb we would need to be in our handling of nuclear plants to cause about the same damage as our current system does"

making it apples to apples like that would make it much clearer.. % risk of this or that is tough to internalize for a lot of people. but is active sabotage of 1 out of every 10 plants necessary to be as bad as current energy? or is just 1 plant failing enough to make nuclear worse and we are just saying the likelihood of just 1 plant failing is astronomically small

> It seems like mainly a list of things that are "dated"

Skimming through the first few pages, I see some very good examples of "dated" books which should absolutely be weeded, including:

* A book about jobs "for the new millennium" written in 1999 (https://awfullibrarybooks.net/apply-within/)

* A book about the HIV epidemic written in 1989 (https://awfullibrarybooks.net/hiv-aids-from-the-1980s/)

* A book on "Video Games: how it's made" written in 1996 (https://awfullibrarybooks.net/how-about-a-career-in-video-ga...)

* A "teen guide to birth control" from 1988 (https://awfullibrarybooks.net/teen-guide-to-birth-control/)

* A directory of self-help groups and hotlines from 1989 (https://awfullibrarybooks.net/get-some-help/)

Some of these books may have some limited historical interest. That's fine. But that doesn't mean they should be in a public library, especially when they run the risk of misrepresenting historical information or beliefs as truth.
This guy's argument does not really seem to have any legitimate link to electric vehicles in particular, and as such, he should really back off of trying to blame EVs for this. It makes his overall point about repairability much weaker.
