A single person in an air-tight average sized room could survive on the available oxygen for about a week. So I suppose if you're in a perfectly air-tight room and no one comes and goes at all or opens a window, you could die eventually.

Even if you're relatively reclusive, assuming you go outside once a day to get the mail... you'll be fine.

Just chiming in on about the ‘local-part’ of the email address.

I wrote a short (but incomplete) research comparing mail servers (MTAs) and their handling of local-part in my ongoing effort to reduce spam and to tackle who is leaking my email address.

‘Local-part’ is the part of the email that is between your account name and the ‘@‘ symbol. For some MTAs, it CAN be the part before your account name.

This is a prime example of what others were saying!

We asked for an example of "good/useful/entertaining websites", and you are giving us technology demos, something that is only interesting to Web3 people.

How about some real-life useful stuff? Don't give me youtube, show me Kurzgesagt channel. Don't talk about Javascript, DOM and browser optimization, show me Google Maps.

Right now, all the stuff Web3 people produce is only interesting if you are into Web3 as well.
Evolutionarily speaking number of offspring would indeed be a better metric, but with pervasive contraception there’s not much signal there.
Silverlight never had even the slightest hint of security, and no interop with JS or non-CLR (e.g. JVM) languages.

It was also comically slow and worked only in IE.

I'm well versed in security of Wasm. Much better than anything else available today or in the past, obviously still not perfect.

One of the best features of Wasm is entirely social - seems like everyone has agreed on it, finally. That's enough for me even if it was a 1:1 copy of JVM or CLR.
I just had to laugh at this one:

MEV is an extremely well-known, well-studied empirical phenomenon that happens today and does not have a known solution, and it's exactly analogous to front-running. It's especially funny that you put out this blog post almost exactly on the 3rd anniversary of the publication of the Flash Boys 2.0 paper.

What I want to know is, are you just ignorant of MEV-related problems, are you trying to mislead your readers, or do you have some sincerely-held belief that MEV front-running is somehow morally okay in a way that PFOF isn't?
How is JIT miscompilation or vulnerabilities in the JIT compiler not an issue?
Tearing up Paris of course would have been an unmitigated disaster. But all the same its important to realize how visionary this (and the slightly earlier Ville Contemporaine) was in the 1920s. Corbusier saw the city of the future far before others - cars as the dominant mode of transport giving people freedom to travel far, simply constructed skyscrapers with standardised apartment types but also with sanitation and services for all (a huge issue in Paris of that era).

Of course along with this he didn't see the big issues we know now through bitter experience - car dominance destroying street life, lack of human scale and beauty in mass-produced buildings, poor safety/security, bleak open spaces, etc. Some perhaps are unfair to blame on him as they are in our mind as a result of poor/cheap implementation in other schemes. But we should at least marvel at what Corbusier did understand for his time and how clearly he was able to express it.
i bought this pull up bar from https://www.walmart.com/ip/Prosourcefit-Multi-Grip-Chin-Up-P... a month or two ago. Best purchase ever!!! At the beginning I couldn't do any pull-ups except for a few on the grip perpendicular to your body. Since I have lots of WFH time I just randomly kept (trying) doing pull ups while I would walk by where I had it setup on a door, e.g. waiting for tea water to boil or something else in the kitchen/microwave or when randomly pacing about thinking about some code/algo/code review. Now I can easily do 5-10 pull ups using any of the grips and am also getting my kids into it, my older son esp. has difficulty going across monkey bars on the playground so this has helped him. I also recommend putting some additional foam under the padding that comes with the bar that sits/pushes against the front of the door frame, esp. if your door moulding has decorative grooves as these can cut into that padding.

In any case, I'm happily married with kids and have never used dating apps, but if you believe in this research and want to increase your hand grip, improve your posture, and improve your overall upper body/core strength this is a dirt cheap way to do it that also requires low activation energy (e.g. no going to the gym).
Browsers have mutual TLS auth if you want that type of authentication. The UX is mediocre and MANY tracking websites will ask you to sign in (either out of incompetence or malice) in your regular browsing, but it's definitely possible to use such a system.

Nobody is accepting random self-signed certificates, of course, usually they need to be signed by a CA belonging to the party you're authenticating to, but there's no technical reason why you can't use a random certificate to authenticate with a website, or even modify your browser to add a quick and easy button to generate them on the fly.

Browser vendors have stopped caring about this type of auth and are focusing more on webauthn, which stores a cryptographic token in your device's secure storage (if available) or on the file system. When browsing from a phone, this means it's essentially "sign in with your fingerprint" for websites, which is really cool! You can't easily back those tokens up, though, so you still need something like a recovery email if you don't want your users to lose their accounts when they drop their phones too hard.
> Tech does this generally. "Cloud" is another all encompassing buzzword. There are plenty of cloud solutions which are arguably ridiculous. Some here buy that kool-aid. Where's the self-righteous outrage?

Criticizing over-engineered cloud solutions is done all the time. At the same time there are a ton of useful and pragmatic cloud solutions.

> People buy all kinds of financial products which may not work out for them. There's an entire industry of OTC pink sheet stocks. Again, where's the outrage?

This is being criticized all the time. At the same time there are useful financial products that are quite important for many.

> Wherever there's a disruption people take offense. In a word it is a hysteria over changing norms.

There is no disruption taking place. That's the issue. It's all just pure hype that quite obviously creates more problems that it claims to solve. People are tired of hearing the same arguments and excuses since years.

This is not like the Internet (or anything similar that has been used as an analogy) that was not taken seriously at the beginning, typically by established players who then got surprised shortly after.

Quite the contrary. It has been taken seriously but it didn't turn out to be what was promised. Just yet another hype, and "this time it's not like the last time". The negativity surrounding these topics came from insiders and initial adopters who started to speak out.

There are maybe some useful things in here that get overshadowed, but to be taken seriously those parts need to very clearly distance themselves from the rest.

Do you replace your own car headlight bulbs? Replacing a wear part like a washer or clearing a screen in a plumbing connection isn't a job for professionals. It's a half a step up from doing your own dusting and vacuuming.
Living in multiple European countries in the beginning of Smartphones (2007 - 2012) I can tell you that your experience is not universal.

In many countries carriers did offer unlimited sms plans, but they would cost a significant amount more over base plans which would say include 100 free texts a month. Also until EU regulations hit if you had any family or friends in other countries or ever went on holiday the cost of SMS was astronomical.

It took many carriers awhile to realize that "free" messaging apps were a significant threat, I assume because they were also charging heavily for data and just assumed because these used data they would make just as much money. Ignoring things like WiFi and how in the long run these apps would use such a small % of the data a user demanded they would be effectively free.
No issue on my two thinkpads (E580 and Yoga 390), my Dell Latitude 5310, my GPD Pocket 2 in that regard.

I have an HP elitebook 8140p that works well with netflix, hbomax and youtube but seems to have lower framerates with other video streaming services. Not sure if it because it uses the nouveau driver or because it is just more than a decade old.
I'm not sure how you can look at
Windows: 75%
MacOs: 15%

and then try and dispute what I said. Those numbers aren't even close.

Sure, maybe MacOs is growing, and less niche than it used to be. I'm not disputing that.

But come on here.
As a point of reference, in the US, about 0.3% of the population has already died due to COVID. Many more are disabled or debilitated. I won't get into that debate over specific numbers -- it can be anywhere from astronomical numbers due to long COVID, or very moderate numbers from people who are hospitalized, don't die, but have significant lung scarring (for each person who dies, several are hospitalized, recover, but have significant permanent lung damage).

Shanghai is just under 2% of China. China has had virtually no deaths.

What's worse?

* Having 2% of the population locked down to maintain COVID zero?

* Or having 0.3% of your population die, and several times that disabled?

That's a rhetorical question. The answer depends on your value system. Both answers are within the norms of cultural value systems around the world. Neither is unreasonable. It gets hard, in part, due to issues like differences in opinion on the importance of personal freedom versus collective good. Those go well beyond just the public health question.

I don't think the value-judgement China has made is at all unreasonable. It's well within how cultures differ. I'm not saying it needs to agree with your values -- just that we ought to accept that different countries and governments have different value systems. This seems well within those norms, rather than grotesque human rights violations as the Western press paints it.

Same thing bugs me reading Chinese press about the West.

It should be possible to tolerate differences like this without contempt for the other side.

It’s a story in itself that a simple script which locates a site’s real IP was taken down for TOS violations. Cloudflare doesn’t own the real IPs or something so it’s really unclear why they (or GitHub) were entitled to take down this repository. Just because it threatens their million dollar buisness model they think they can take it down? That’s wrong my friend. And people need to know. Cloudflare or GitHub overstepped it’s boundaries to help a corporation enforce security by obscurity. Since this method is proven to be preventable, why take it down? Instead of taking it down from public knowledge (which does nothing to stop cybercriminals with private forks) why don’t they help their customers mitigate the impact instead?

Also, they stopped blocking the Tor IPs now but this wasn’t always the case. Many people remember a few years ago the IPs were blocked.
I don't know who ValuePenguin are, but those rates are definitely misleading. The interchange setup in the US is nuts, but only the highest tier of rewards cards are 3%, when used to purchase travel (see mastercard [0]). The vast majority are 1-1.5% ish. I will admit that this is higher than I expected, but MasterCardaren't taking a 3% cut of every card transaction.

> AMEX has even higher transaction fees, which is why some businesses don't accept it.

Given the opacity of the fees (or "discounts") as amex calls them, I don't know how to believe this. Lots of retailers in the EU don't accept them, yet amex are bound by the same interchange limits as Visa and Mastercard. How much of this is actually true and how much is "well it was true 30 years ago and I've not questioned it"

> You don't need a "technofix" for that, you need regulations that cap interchange fees like the EU.

Agreed. And using crypto to limit network fees is a terrible idea. I just had a quick look and the current gas fee for ethereum is $20!

I was convinced it would turn into some kind of "playing too much minecraft" joke.
Ok... so the political and economic foundations of the crypto ecosystem are flawed. It's a movement driven by fascists and criminals posing as libertarians. It's based on the Austrian school idea of, "sound money," itself a poorly conceived idea with roots in racism and fascism. If that doesn't corrupt the entire enterprise, what are the good parts?

In the pursuit of this, crypto supporters have blasted exorbitant amounts of excess CO2 into the atmosphere for very little work done in over a decade.

And it literally doesn't do anything. It was adopted as a national currency by one country and hardly anyone who lives there seems to use it. It doesn't by-pass international sanctions. It's not free from government regulation like the criminals want.

All it seems good for is divesting money from technologically illiterate rich people who jumped on the bandwagon, advertised their crypto holdings, and have poor or non-existent opsec. It's a scammers' dream: it's way easier and far more profitable to rip these people off than to run a scam against a bank or old people.

If your goal is truly altruistic and you want to see more transparency in the financial system, access for people from all economic and diverse backgrounds, etc: get into politics, banking, or just vote. Start a non-profit think-tank and hire analysts to help inform positive policy changes.

The technology behind this stuff is pretty useless at providing financial services because those systems are social/political systems. Technology is but a small part of supporting them.

Bought an XPS 15 9500 last March, ticks these boxes for me. I think these laptops are underrated as Linux machines, frequently overshadowed by ThinkPads.

- Good linux support, only had to manually install one driver.

- Good durability. I'm very careless with my devices, all my laptops have broken at the hinges at least once. This one has held up after multiple hard drops.

- Very quiet, fan noise barely noticeable even under load.

- You can upgrade the memory

- Easy to take apart and service as a user, which is great since I'm going to break something and have to service it eventually. Dell XPSs have always been the best for this IMO, at least of the mainstream laptops I've used.

TLDR:
Good combo of linux+repairable+quality+rugged
We've handed three systems that can boot unsigned bootloaders to folks in the coreboot community. Our plan in the near term is to help them create a shim loader that can be signed to run on any Framework Laptop, which then enables anyone to do further coreboot development.
I think it's deeper than that. There is some truth in the above comment, certainly about the invasion of Iraq [0]. Where it goes astray is doubling down on this model to explain the entirety of the Ukraine situation with the US as the only actor, resulting in ridiculous backfit statements like "America ... forced Russia’s hand in order to claim victim/self-defense status".

Relativism can be handy, helping you see biases and assumptions of your native culture, but you always needs to keep it subordinate to actual reality. The reality here is that Russia has aggressed beyond its borders [1] and is unequivocally committing genocide, at which point I have a hard time being concerned about the ways the West may have effectively hurt Russia's feelings and "made" them lash out. There is indeed a geopolitical game of economic empire that the US/EU have been succeeding at, but that does not justify Russia's flipping the table and reverting to early 20th century style mechanized slaughter.

[0] In fact continuing the tangent, the memetic points of the original article are quite applicable to Iraq. Basically USG forcibly spreading the memes of "democracy", "corporate sanctity", and of course "USD as world reserve currency". Witness the overwhelming popular support for attacking Iraq in 2003 that has now been seemingly memory-holed by its one-time supporters. In 2003, the need to attack Iraq was manifestly implicit based on everpresent memes, which have now been de-emphasized.

[1] We can examine the modern notion of the nation-state with fixed borders as itself being a modern-Western invention, but it's likely better described as a quality of the "centralized state" of the article. And pragmatically the concept seems to function as a reasonable Schelling point.
>Intel has removed support for S3 sleep from their platform

Wait what? How is that allowed?? What is the replacement?
I went this route albeit differently. I purchased an older model Thinkpad T440 for about $300 off eBay a few years ago, and it's one of my favorite laptops to have still. 8GB of RAM, 4th gen mobile Intel i7, 240GB SSD. I've been using it for probably about 3 years now as my travel laptop.

The keyboard on it is really fantastic, but the touchpad is not something I'm proud of.
So are you suggesting getting a 3+ year old Intel model then? Since the ARM models aren't really supported yet.
> It turns out if you only give people a photo and have them judge attractiveness, they'll only look at the physique of the person. This doesn't mean it's how people view attractiveness in real-world situations where you have all sorts of other data.

That's the case on Tinder though.
It's also important to understand that in a best of 3 format, if you have a 80% winrate per game against every player (which is insane btw), you still lose 10% of those matches. In a 9 round tournament day (which is standard for YuGiOh iirc), your chance of winning every single round for the entire day is merely 40%. If your edge is more realistic, say 60% winrate, then you lose 35% of those matches. More games per match are your friend for determining who is actually better.
1000 years from now the last man will be dying on Earth and will have the bitter regret: "We could have gotten to Mars but Elon Musk just had to post that stupid tweet."

>Life doesn't leave the kids alone though.

Not sure your point with this one.

>Those families you've described were all my fellow students in kindergarten.

Yes, it's quite common unfortunately. I've always heard it referred to as "a parent or guardian," by schools which is a pretty good approach in my opinion.

>... And then we've made a strange world where kids can't talk about their parents at school.

No, you're misrepresenting the opposing argument. The law only concerns classroom instructions by school personnel or third parties. In my mind, this would be akin to, "today's lesson is about LGBTQ studies." The law doesn't apply to what kids are allowed or not allowed to discuss amongst themselves.

>Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties
UTM is very nice on macOS.
The thread is in the context of Apple users insisting that the OP should use a Mac, when the OP has explicitly stated that it does not fit their needs.
LFP has somewhat lower energy density but it also doesn't degrade any faster if you charge it to 100% every time, while the higher-density batteries do degrade faster if you regularly charge them over 80%. So the practical range difference isn't as much as it appears at first glance.

I typically use an Android phone. If I use any of the multitude of "over the internet" instant messaging platforms, we all get the full level of service.

But if someone messages me from iMessage, I can only reply via old school SMS/MMS because Apple won't allow any non-Apple users access to their IM platform. This is incredibly annoying and well established as an intentional selling point.

All I hear is "if you want me to really listen to you, then you need to buy a specific brand of device."

A "green bubble person" is just someone forced to use crappy fallback measures because your preferred messaging platform wants to be exclusive. I'd gladly install iMessage (as I've installed many other IM apps) if it was an option, if only so I could stop the endless complaints about "green bubble people" ruining everyone's day.
Thank you for that, that was a great explanation.
I don't think the Dead Sea is really dead.

"Biologists have known since the 1930s the lake is "not dead yet". Instead, it's full of microbes that get along quite happily in the salty soup, for it keeps out competitors that would take over in a more hospital aqueous environment. In general, the water contains 1,000 to 10,000 archaea* per ml, a much lower concentration of life than in seawater, but quite respectable, all in all, for a place where one molecule in three is not water. Occasionally, when conditions are right, the sea blooms red with life. This happened in 1980 and 1992."
