What specific waste is causing your trepidation? Solar and wind have most of their impact from mundane things like glass, aluminum, and steel. But enormous amounts of these are produced for the rest of the economy (annual world production of steel is nearly 2 gigatonnes). None of them present an insuperable obstacle to a global economy that could function indefinitely.
It’s also hard to beat the UX available to native applications that are dedicated and purpose-built and locally processing rather than an interpreted language wrapped inside a web browser constantly communicating with a server somewhere as I type.

I really hate online document editors.
“The Best Parenting Advice I’ve Ever Gotten”
This just isn't true. Maybe they think that because they're not aware of what would happen if manufacturing hadn't been offshored, but the vast majority of people would be extremely unhappy if the cost of all manufactured goods doubled.

> Yes, it will be expensive, but then I'll just buy fewer pairs

This is key though, it presupposes everyone can buy fewer pairs. There are probably a lot of people who get by on one pair of sneakers - particularly children, who are going to grow out of them anyway. These are the people that will suffer if $300 shoes become commonplace.
They say the "The" is so important to their brand yet everyone in the article, the comments, the quote from OSU in the article, all use "Ohio State" or "OSU".

Found that mildly ironic
This is an interesting comment but I’m not sure it stands up to closer examination. For example, ISA’s change very slowly - more so than aspects of fabrication.

I’d argue that the parts of the stack that connect with other levels move more slowly than those that don’t. They need to be stable so that the whole stack continues to work together.

"We got caught doing something shady and fixed it" has been used a number of times by Brave. That's not a good look for a team that's presenting themselves as the white knights of the internet. Why would they be doing that shady stuff in the first place?

relative output matters and the US has lost massively in terms of global manufacturing compared to what it used to be.

saying US manufacturing hasn't declined is like saying IBM hasn't declined in stature compared to decades past. IBM technically has more revenue than they did in the past, but they aren't considered a technology leader anymore and very few are impressed by them, many see them as a dying company
Politicians are there to provide cover so you don't blame the billionaires directly. But you would be surprised how much Politicians bend over backwards to protect them when it matters.

Putin went after some US connected oligarchs to clean up corruption in his country. US policy towards Russian literally changed overnight and US imposed sanctions, and we have everything that followed.

> While we (PairGain) also made point-to-point private links, it was clear then, and even moreso now that most DSL involves a service provider managing the network - with specialized skills, practices and setup.

Mmm. This brings back memories of running private DSLAMs in a campus environment as a transitional pre-Ethernet stopgap in the early 2000s. 95% of the DSL lines worked great. The remaining 5% were a never-ending nightmare of troubleshooting and sudden breakage.

We didn't want to be DSL experts, we just wanted the hardware to work well-enough for long enough to make it all go away.

Lithium batteries can push a lot more current than solar panels. Orders of magnitude more current.

For a point of reference, charging lithium batteries has to happen slower (lower wattage) than discharging, and a car battery pack with a fast charger can pull over 350kw.

In comparison, a residential solar system for a house will provide somewhere around 5kw, peak.

That just makes the behavior even more confusing. Why specifically go after tobacco when we're moving towards legalizing/decriminalizing everything else?

When I was young I was stung by a scorpion that had been hiding in my dirty clothes. My father told me "This is why you should clean your room. The scorpions won't have so many places to hide." I told him that I would rather be stung by a scorpion once a year (or so) than do the ceaseless work of keeping my room clean. I feel the same about the kind of privacy concerns you are raising here.

Maybe Brave telemetry is reporting stuff I don't care about - time spent in the browser, number of tabs open, crashes, etc. Maybe Brave telemetry is secretly smuggling data I do care about and they are using that for nefarious purposes. I would rather deal with occasionally being stung by the latter than spend my time worrying about it and restricting myself to open source, carefully audited, minimal risk tools.

As far as impersonating people to sell their products, I don't really know what you mean. I'm guessing it's something about them creating profiles to receive BAT tokens on their behalf until such time as those people joined the Brave ecosystem (if they do). I see this as a "growth hack" and maybe distasteful but not a deal breaker.
Nothing at all.

It would be an issue if the shirt was only THE in all caps, and nothing else. And even then it might not be an issue if it were in pink and orange (although it still might).

The analogy with npm works: thesportsballteam is a distinct package.
I agree this hasn't yet seem to bear itself out, though I think statistically we have until 2029 or so before you can "call it" as absolutely 100% incorrect (that, using very armchair back of the math sort of logic here, admittedly, would allot for a first wave of sorts meeting the timeline, anything later and perhaps it should really cause some panic)

With that said, and this is really the point, I think we failed at this goal:

>populations learn to manage and mitigate some or all impeding factors

We haven't done this yet. I mean, Europe maybe more so, but have we really moved the needle on removing impeding factors to encourage people to have families?
The point is that Brave, despite their short history, has already managed to demonstrate several instances of suspicious or potentially unethical behavior.

There's no evidence that they'd do any better than their competitors over time. But some people seem to have a default ideological preference for Brave, similar to how many are theoretically opposed to "Big Tech" but suddenly don't seem to have a problem if Elon Musk were to become the replacement Zuckerberg.

Well..the Biden administration is slowly removing sanctions from Venezuala after belatedly realising that sanctioning Iran, Venezuala and Russia caused a global energy crisis. And making a diplomacy visit to the Saudis to beg them to pump more oil. Despite a harsh condemnation of the Prince just last year where he said he would never speak to him again.

Sanctions are of questionable effectiveness and tend to harm other nations more than the nation that is the target of the sanctions.
> I don't know if the French would approve of that pronunciation, but it's good enough for me and seems like an intuitively obvious way for me to pronounce it.

I say it the same way.

Here's the catch: if you pronounce it at someone as a recommendation i.e. "you should try Libreoffice!", how likely are they to remember it when they get home, or to be able to spell it to search for it?
Depending on your frame of reference "keep perfectly still" will launch you into space. But how would that be a useful choice?
I bought my 6P new and still use it with a JetDirect box. Over the years, I saved another 6P from the bulk trash in my neighborhood and recently picked up a 6MP off Craigslist free. Both have a lower page count than my original and usable toner cartridges.
Europeans who drive normally carry their national ID card, and their driver's license. This is enough to drive out of, and back into, the EU across some borders.
Like I said, I don't know the standards, so I don't know the authors' intentions. But there are actually specialized devices which do nothing but generate TOTP tokens, so that seems to be a use case. (The keys don't have to be on a phone or in a particular app.)
All writing is centralizing onto Substack
Ouch. This is the security posture that half a billion dollars, hundreds of engineers, multiple layers of abstraction to a firewall ruleset and each Stream-aligned team with an embedded Product Manager and UX Designer[0] buys you. I too contributed security fixes to Docker in the early stages but soon gave up.

Docker is a fascinating study in hype. Containers already existed, docker wrapped them very badly, raised half a billion dollars, popularized their wrapper (I understand kubernetes is the fad-wrapper now) and then failed to obtain a revenue stream. I didn't see them return much to open source, though perhaps they contributed to projects I don't see.

Honestly, the whole thing has a plotline like a Shakespearean tragedy. Someone could do a film, starting with interviews with the guys who wrote the original Linux containers and namespacing kernel code at IBM, the maintainers of jails in FreeBSD, and an early hacker at VMWare.

That's the point. They don't need to care if it makes it more attractive than other chromium browsers. They have features they want to use so being able to unilaterally add them benefits them either way.

If they decide to add new amp integration or similar features, for example, that can give them more control of the Internet even if you are using those features through Edge rather than Chrome.

Seeing Google's goal as getting everyone on Chrome is missing the point: it's just as good from their perspective to simply have everyone using chromium based browsers.
The commenter is right to the point. Look at the sponsors of Apache foundation, and you'll see that Google and Microsoft appear as some of the largest contributers. Of course they don't want to antagonize these companies.

The best way to look at Apache and simular foundations is as infrastructure maintained by big companies to redirect open source effort to their goals. They use third parties to do this because the companies themselves enjoy very little trust from the open source community.
Same here. Are there even legit reasons to not run all containers rootless? I run rootless everything, as well as things that need privileged ports. The design choices by the Docker team are just baffling.
> Also - shouldn't the web be full off vurnurable database servers then?

It already was, but yes.
This is the original claim I'm asking about: "a peer-to-peer setup where your house is powering your neighbor down the street doesn't work without some substantial investment."

Wouldn't it be less current, in general? If your neighborhood gets 20% of its power from solar panels on your neighbor's houses, it seems clear that power lines inbound to the neighborhood would need to carry 20% less load, and lines inside your neighborhood would also carry somewhat less on average (your power consumption has not changed, and presumably your neighbor is powering his house off his own power before exporting the rest to you).

I understand there are probably some topological hot spots, like if one dude has a 1MW solar installation in his backyard, but as a general principle I don't understand what big upgrades need to be done to the grid to support P2P.
> Also - shouldn't the web be full off vurnurable database servers then?

No, the docker bridge network is not on a routable subnet.

This movie is honestly pretty terrible, and I say that as a Lynch fan. It's entertaining, but often in the same way The Room is.

I've been meaning to watch Jodorowsky's Dune [1], a documentary about Jodorowsky's failed attempt to make a Dune film. He's even more of a nut than Lynch...I wonder what he would have done with the material.
Twitlonger has been around for ages and is pretty nice to use. Writers seem to prefer just making threads because users will read them there. Every time you add a link or some other barrier in front of your content, you are reducing your readership.
Well no, the wrapper could count as a derivative work. Even if the wrapper were permissively licensed rather than copyleft, the assembled whole of a product making use of the wrapper would arguably be covered. One of the glaring issues with the GPL is that copyright law imperfectly defines "derivative work"; though this works to the GPL's advantage as the ambiguity ensures the risk is taken by whomever is attempting to make use of the library or tool.

The GPL has been litigated against fairly deep-pocketed companies, and while there hasn't been much in the way of precedent-setting court decisions, there have been multiple victories in the sense that these huge companies settled rather than set that precedent.

The GPL is explicitly constructed to exist in the real world; it was founded on the premise that the infectious nature of copyright was toxic and should be twisted to more equitable means so that software would be shared as it should be, rather than hoarded and exploited.

NC is just another form of hoarding and exploitation.

> The summary of your complaints is that you want to use NC software or artefacts for profit (basically to resell it in some form or another) … and you cannot because you are so moral.

Yes, minus the profit. I want to use the software. Improve it, redistribute it, help people make it work for them. Because unlike you or the author, I actually give a shit about ethics, and I live in the real world where software has external costs to hosting and maintenance, which involve transacting in commerce to integrate or make use of tools. I'm pretty far left and anti-capitalist, but even full-blown communism still involves transacting in commerce!

I can't even look at the fucking source code, goddammit. Using it at all would create a master-servant relationship if I wanted to, for example, take a bounty to implement an open-source feature.

It's so fucking hypocritical and stupid and selfish. They might as well take it closed-source and distribute it for free if they're going to pull this shit. Would be less harmful.
> The U.S. has invested trillions of dollars building an infrastructure that has led its citizens to being some of the best-educated and most-productive in the world.

Remember what you said: some of the population is capable of doing such things, but a relatively large portion of the population are doing gig work. The distinction isn't "why take the highly skilled segment of the workforce and retrain them," but instead "why not take the 'low-skilled' portion and upskill them." Ultimately we know the answer, but your framing was off.
As someone from the state of Oregon (home to THE Oregon State University), I find this very distasteful indeed.
I wholeheartedly second this. I have an unique lens on this issue as I'm in a unique spot. Despite being Brazilian myself, for most of my career I worked and managed US based developers, and just very very recently shifted to working directly with Brazilians. I saw no major difference in responsiveness and "get shit done" (aka initiative) between those two cohorts.

The only thing that took me by surprise is that Brazilians DO NOT take well to getting busy outside of working hours. If you text someone during their lunch break, expect to hear a complaint along with your response.
You know it has a really strong smell, right? You're going to repel more than just mosquitoes but then again if you publicly share your life with a fur baby it may not make any difference that you might notice.

Can you elaborate on how this theory would help Monsanto more than the status quo? Much more soy is processed into animal feed (~75%) than is eaten by humans directly as plant-based foods (~7%). Given that the soy -> animal -> human pipeline is less efficient calorically than soy -> human, it seems to me that the status quo sells more soy.

Also, this part:

> where does all the plant-based food come from? GM soya by Monsanto.

is plainly false. There are many more plant-based protein sources other than soy.

However, I do agree with you that relying heavily on Monsanto for (any of) these uses is not good, and overusing their products is likely damaging our soils and ecosystem.

From footnote 19, a definition of an unbounded problem: "This gives us an unbounded problem instead of a large finite one. It is just like hoping for an algorithm that you could feed a bunch of data into and then be rewarded with the best possible scientific theory to explain the data."

Twenty years later, we have fed data into a machine learning algorithm that does indeed, spit out scientific theories to explain the data. Maybe not "best possible", but perhaps even more interestingly, solutions the almighty human mind hasn't already thought of.

Not denying the potential usefulness, but I've seen a lot of time get lost to faffing around with Docker when it completely added nothing at all.
The possibility that I can't put "THE", literally the most common word, on a hat or other sportswear sort of makes my point. Absolutely absurd trademark.
Not if you have a firewall enabled on your machine, which everybody should.

edit: based on comments, added the FORWARD table, which supersedes Docker's rules and should block new connections forwarding from external interfaces.

edit 2: I'm wrong, this doesn't fix the bug. If you run `docker network create foobar`, it will move its rules up above the custom FORWARD rules. Ugh.

edit 3: Modified to add the rules to the DOCKER-USER table, which according to Docker[1], will always be evaluated first. So now it should actually fix the problem. They explain in the docs how to fix this situation, actually, and even how to prevent Docker from modifying iptables. Another example of why we should RTFM...
