>TLS/HSTS is still subject to CA attacks, e.g. diginotar.

Largely solved by Certificate Transparency. If you compromise a CA, you can issue certificates. However, you can't issue new certificates without broadcasting that fact to the whole world as browsers will not accept certificates without SCTs.

>Reducing load on exit nodes is a technical benefit that's in that blog post.

This hasn't been a real benefit for years. Exit nodes are running at something like 10% capacity.

>Another benefit to using Tor onion services for large sites is that the Tor circuit ID can be used as an additional key in an IP rate limit cache. This helps block Tor bots (on the basis that establishing a Tor circuit is expensive).

This is just another problem with hidden services. Opening circuits costs malicious clients far less cpu time than it costs the server.
Kei trucks are another option. People really like the Suzuki Carry with aftermarket parts. A bit cheaper than the Polaris stuff too.
One step further, don't start a conversation with "X is broken, can you help me fix it?"

Tell me what you did so far, actual behavior and expected behavior. Pragmatically speaking, I get a lot of coworkers asking questions (like several per day) so if your question is formulated poorly, it has a very high chance of slipping through the cracks simply because the easier to answer questions will take priority.
I added Accept-Language to our web logs for a month before we added our first site translation.

That showed us that the majority of people had a language matching the expectation we would have from an IP geolocation, so we use Accept-Language alone.
They do not want integration, because Israel is, according to law makers, only meant for one ethnicity that they aren't a part of. So integration is opposed.
Furthermore, once you've written it out once...you can copy and paste that to ask someone else later, if you don't get a response!

This entirely depends on your use case. For many gamers, Windows PCs can't be replaced by a Mac, let alone Linux. Hopefully Proton/Wine will bridge that gap and maybe even be ported to FreeBSD.

There are lots of servers running Linux that could very well be switched to FreeBSD, and lots more that are locked into Linux due to the state of hardware drivers or the containers they're running.

If all you're doing on Linux is browsing the web and opening terminals, you could probably switch to FreeBSD without too much disruption.
Well corrected :-)
There should be a quick, visible way for a user to tell the difference between a connection that is merely encrypted and one where the identity of the certificate owner has been vetted. Then the user can decide for any given form whether they are comfortable sending that data over that kind of connection.

Sometimes, the alternative to companies paying hundreds of dollars per year is customers losing millions.
One thing the author doesn't do in this comparison is factor in the perceived technology value.

While you can adjust for inflation to get the price of a VHS tape in 2022 dollars ($23) and say that it's high, to someone in the 1980s just having the ability to record a TV show or movie and watch it forever at home was considered a huge leap in technology, and well worth the value. Today, however, we take that for granted, which means that the inflation-adjusted price of a VHS tape seems absurdly high.
> I'm a huge fan of no hello & "just ask" in our future world of async work.

That is just a conflict between people who prefer async and who prefer sync communication. For sync communication, "hello" and "bye" are just markers for begin and end of a session, with implicit expectation that people focus on the session in between.
MIT's hay day in terms of research was decades ago -- before I got there -- sixties and eighties. The book Hackers by Levy is a good read on MIT Classic. It took a while for the work from there to be recognized outside in other institutions; you can give a 10-20 year window there. In the general public, virtually no one had heard of MIT.

By the late nineties, MIT research was just past its peak. Peer reputation peaked then or a little bit later. The general public was just starting to notice it existed.

In the 2010's, MIT research quality and integrity was in freefall. General public noticed MIT was #1, perhaps a half-century after-the-fact. Peer reputation was just past the peak.

I expect it will take another 10-30 years before the general public notices MIT has declined.

Stanford gets a "Wow" reaction for entrepreneurship more so than research.

I definitely wouldn't give a finger to be at MIT or Stanford. Of the ones you'd mentioned, Princeton, I think I'd be pretty happy at. If I had my druthers, though, I'd pick a school which is on the rise, basically where MIT was in the sixties or eighties. Mostly, I want a place which has a lot of freedom, integrity, and an open, accepting culture. Georgia Tech seems like a decent place right now. Yale would be nice. ASU would be a uniquely good fit. There are a few state schools I like too.

Schools in Europe are a mixed bag. I've considered going to a less-well-known school in one of the poorer countries in Europe, where there are smart people, and where I could buy a home for cash, and have the perfect freedom of being independently wealthy. If you're at MIT or Stanford, you need to do consulting, startups, or similar to have a decent standard of living, and that brings a pile of conflicts-of-interest. Entry level mortgage requires $200k+ in income in either of those housing markets, which is more than junior faculty are paid. Tenured faculty -- including consulting and outside interests -- make a mint.
It's a proxy for IQ + willingness to grind to learn a new skill, and those two attributes are highly cross-functional in an environment where job requirements frequently change.
Obvious diversion from the core issue. Israel must either grant the occupied lands true sovereignty and have their ethnostate or end the occupation and grant them equal civilian rights. Either way they must end their occupation of both Gaza and the West Bank.

You start off saying that it's 'disgusting' to call Israel a racist state and then conclude by saying that it was always intended to be a 'Jewish state' and not a 'melting pot'. That's highly contradictory and defending a very racist policy, which is indeed, disgusting.
Holy wow — mine's 7 years old and I thought it was crazy.

I still have the pacman logs from the first package installed. It has traveled to three different machines, three filesystems (ext4, btrfs, xfs), two boot loaders (grub, efi) and two desktop envs (gnome2, mate+compiz).

I really can't imagine using anything else. AUR along with simplicity of the package source format and cleanliness of everything in general, makes this the perfect OS for a pragmalist like myself.
Unless you want it to have a better computer. The computer doesn't seem modular to me. You can't quickly add additional or better memory. You can't replace the processor with a better one. The computer itself is a single entity that in many ways is less modular than a traditional desktop computer.

Wouldn't a desktop with 100 USB ports be a modular computer in the same sense as this thing?
No, that's far from anything related to genocide and Putin is actually right: Russians and Ukrainians(and Belarussians) have the same common root in the Kievan Rus. The idea of Ukraine didn't even exit until about 1700s and the country itself was founded in 1917.
Finger painting? Have you looked at the paintings of older masters? It's more like they have finally mastered their art and can now focus on the essence of it.
That is a cool idea :)
Some Ukrainian banks (and other services) have been under constant ddos attacks from russian hackers (even before the invasion).
Pretty much like any low-flying missile does it.

Russia invested in Kalibr missiles so heavily for this exact reason.
This is also sometimes called a "naked ping"[1]:

<Bob> Alice: Ping

<Alice> Bob: Pong?

<Bob> Alice: Can I talk to you now? I have a question.

[LONG SILENCE...]

<Alice> Bob: Sure. (Inside Alice's head: "Sigh, please ask the question, already!")

[Again, in some cases, this is followed by a LONG SILENCE...]

<Bob> Alice: A vague question with not much details.

Now, imagine what a test of sanity it becomes if it happens several times throughout the day, week, month.

Note, though: I don't mind "naked pings" myself; they don't bother me much. But I of course appreciate "fully dressed up pings".

> Remember Microsoft Windows, which considered changing OS display language a enterprise/pro/ultimate feature, which was NOT included in home edition?

I remember Microsoft Windows (and MS-DOS) having a hardcoded OS display language; if you installed a Brazilian edition of Microsoft Windows, all you got is Brazilian Portuguese, since the translations are hardcoded within each binary (but you could still change things like date format and keyboard layout), and if you wanted a different OS display language, you had to wipe and reinstall. I vaguely recall reading that this had changed starting with IIRC Windows Vista, which put the translations in separate files (instead of hardcoding them in the executables and DLLs).
nginx does not indicate the opposite. In nginx upstream refers to the next source/server it should pass the request on to.

E.g. nginx receives a request and passes it on to the configured upstream, the application server, before receiving a response that is passed downstream to the UA.
I am not sure this is true.

Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS, microwave syndrome)– Review of mechanisms
Ooh, thanks for posting this analysis. I'd been hazily feeling like I should check out Mastodon, but only for reasons of theory. Sounds like Metcalfe's Law applies here, though, so you've saved me a bunch of time.
"An especially pertinent question, however, is whether the effects of color described here extend to other mammals, such as humans."

=\=

"The effects of color described here extend to other mammals, such as humans."

The first is in the text. The second is an interpretation of the text.

Dismissing the content of a scientific article and replacing the existing words to support your own interpretation of the text is exactly adding your own views on the subject.

This study is but one step in the scientific process towards verifying this fact. Hopefully, the next step is taken soon and the theory is tested on humans.

Should that next paper conclude with "Blue light is not disruptive to human sleep patterns", then I would absolutely agree that debunking has been had.

In fact, since you are pushing to know my own views, I would be thrilled about it. Issues with sleep quality is something that affects me and having a concrete answer about the subject at hand would allow me to make better and more enlightened choices about steps to improve my sleep quality.

But this is not the case here, right now this would be selling the skin before having caught the bear.

Is this a good moment to slow down, analyse and ponder? Absolutely. Do test out if f.lux actually has an effect on you if you are a daily user. Do try to use another color than red in your Philips Hue sleep routine. But now is not the time to take direct actions.

...

Let's step back for a minute and imagine we were talking about a study about medication.

Let's say that an animal study came out that concluded with "An especially pertinent question, however, is whether the toxicity of acetaminophen extend to other mammals, such as humans."

I would without a doubt leave a comment highlighting the content of the paper to show the commenter that no, an animal study should not be strongly interpreted as debunking the safety of acetaminophen in humans.

Would you also write: "You chose to explicitly point out certain things in order to discredit the comment you were replying to. You know exactly how your comment comes off, and by doing it you, indeed, add your own views to the subject" in that situation?

There are definitely cases where I want “whatever is local” and others where “whatever my normal default is”.

Right, that's a contentious area. The extent of jurisdiction of e.g. France over FB seems very nebulous to me.

And even then, I'm sure they have a court process to determine who's guilty of "hate speech" (or thoughtcrime or whatever), and FB is capable of challenging the cases or complying with the rulings for French residents. I assume blanket prior restraint is frowned upon in freer countries of the world.

There are efforts to pass Draconian laws to limit free expression online though [1].

This specific one might be on purpose to avoid translating language names. If you land in page entirely in Chinese but you see the word "English" in Latin characters under a link, you can click it to escape. But if it's itself in Chinese you'll never find it. I do the same in applications, have a menu for languages but don't translate language names, if you change language by mistake you can always find your way back.

I remember it being a big deal when Star Wars finally came to TV. I don’t understand why, but my kids laugh when I tell them for the big event we hauled my aunt’s large TV across the lawn (she lived next door) over to our house just so we could watch it in color instead of on the 15” BW that we had. We also made popcorn.
The drag handles are a bit finicky/small to grab, and would be nice to be able to set the heights as a group. Otherwise great!
The responses in this thread are deeply disappointing. Every law we have, just like every piece of tech we have, needs to be considered not only in the context of what words are on the paper but also how could it be deployed maliciously.

How could this law be used to hurt or discriminate should be on someone's mind, just like we ask how could this API be misused.

Seeing so many reactionary comments from folks who jump in to defend them because it aligns with their (in this case, right wing) political tribe is antithetical to the rational, deep thinking nature this place usually shows.

I already know the answer to your question: It is a great city with a lot to offer. I'm happy to own a house nearby for the time being.

Also happy when people like the GP leave this place altogether.

Moreover; whether youre talking about Detroit, London, NY, Baltimore, SF, Seattle, Dubai - _whatever_ - claiming a place where millions of real people live their lives is "dead" or a "shithole" or whatever, is an entirely graceless act. Nobody is forcing you to live here, move on with your life, or I'm going to assume you have some sort of weird insecurity that causes you to do behave this way. Presumably that is why the GP created an account just to make this claim; they didn't want it associated with their other internet identities.
How are you supposed to get work done on a team, if any question asked to another team member is immediately seen as "unproductive"? It's not just about regexes. I'm having trouble debugging a system, who do I ask? Nobody, apparently, because if I do then I might incur a "bill" from my own coworkers!
Don't forget the feedback loops that adds even more carbon, like permafrost thawing and more frequent/extended forest fires. Even if we stop extracting and burning fossil carbon, still new carbon will be keep being added to the carbon cycle, more each year, due to global warming that seem to have the biggest temperature anomalies around the Arctic. And there are others that slow down the cycle of carbon, like carbon sinks becoming less effective or even turn into net emitters.

It is not possible to just push the brakes and expect an immediate result, the extra carbon that is in the atmosphere will continue warming the planet and the actual warming will fuel positive feedback loops that will make things even worse (and they are not limited to just melting ice).

And, of course, things will keep getting far worse as much as we delay doing something significant in this area.
Long time 808/606/303 owner and the Roland emulations are ok. The best 303 emulation I’ve used is the Audiorealism bassline. https://www.audiorealism.se/
Keep in mind I’m not a huge 303 fan personally.

I’ve got a Roland cloud subscription and I definitely think it’s useful and way more convenient than vintage gear approaching 50 years of age. I also have the arturia v-collection and think this last update made the Roland synths (Jupiter and Juno’s) sound way more alive and better imho than the Roland versions. They are both pretty good though. You can get the same dsp emulation in the Roland boutiques/Aira as well if you want hardware knobs to twiddle.

Iirc the 808 and 909 in rebirth were sample based. The 303 was nice and squelchy but not quite a perfect emulation. Lots of fun to play with though. I remember spending hours in college playing with rebirth.

TV shows were scheduled for your local stations and there may be an alternate channel that would have an echo or rebroadcast schedule.

If you wanted to watch "your show" you had to either have someone record it, or record it yourself. There were even VCRs that could be programmed to start recording at a certain point for a specific duration.

In all of humanity's many combinations of people, situations, and outcomes, yes, this has happened hundreds of thousands of times.

It's literally a meme that "oh! no, don't watch that one--that has our sex tape in the middle".

Ukraine says Russia fired at Belarus from Ukrainian airspace to drag it into war
Hi! This space has a lot of "trust issues" and I completely agree with the sentiment that this type of headline/web app has seemingly "crossed our path" before, and that this may just be another one...

We launched on December 11th, we don't have numbers on "trades" since we don't suggest or push trading. Long term investing is more of the vibe, and the time frame is too short for anything meaningful to share there. Short term trading is hard/98% of people loose money after 2 years, we aren't about that.

What I can say is this. Daniel Pronk, many other financial youtubers, myself, and our users have reported the following (not exact quotes, I'm paraphrasing): "Stock Unlock saves me 80-90% of my time it used to take me to analyze a company", "The insights feature really helps me get a quick first look at a stock when I start my analysis", "education mode is a game changes, finally a website I can use and learn how to invest"

The last thought I'd leave here, financial youtubers have millions of followers, and many people are looking for a way to learn how to invest, and not have things abstracted/done for them (these tools just do not exist in brokerage sites today). This tool is basically a platformization pulling together all the knowledge basins from Youtube accounts/other tools priced way too high.

(7 day free trial/no credit card/no pressure to purchase anything) Our price is also, the lowest out there, for the most value. There simply isn't another product out there with our feature set at our price point, not to mention education embedded everywhere makes up approachable to all investors, not just experienced ones.

I feel that may be too long of a response... but here we are. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to make a case for that, I'd love to continue this thread :)
Years ago I built a language system that parsed Accept-Lang and compared your preferences to what we had available. There was also a drop down at the bottom of the page to manually override.

I thought it worked really slick, but we got complaints. The majority of our users were English speaking despite their Accept-Lang preferences and expected us to serve in English. We switched to just default English with the dropdown there if you want something else. Made me a little sad.
