I miss furl a lot. It was a short lived service in the days of Web 2.0 where it not only bookmarked the pages for you but also saved a scraped copy and indexed it so it was really easy to find content later. It was an amazing academic research tool that I think would be incredibly valuable for the problem it was trying to solve.

> Two hours, for a single body, in a facility the size of a large garage. Just do some napkin math for what that means for the prospect of cremating a single body in something the size of a cement mixer.

You keep saying 'single body'.

Crematoriums in mortuaries operate on the principle that you put one body in and get one set of ashes out. These ashes are then put in a single urn and given to a single family who will grieve their single loved one.

That is not what Russia is using their mobile crematoriums for. You're not going to give the ashes of the deceased to the deceased's family; the deceased's family is all in the same pile of bodies with them. You do not put one body in at a time, you put in as many as will fit. As bodies are reduced, you create more space; you fill that space with more bodies. As ashes are generated, you remove the ashes as they accumulate at the bottom.

You are replacing a low volume batch process with a high volume continuous process. You do not need to wait for the crematorium to heat up or cool down. You do not need to ensure 100% complete combustion. You do not need to worry about disturbing the neighbors with the smell. You do not need particularly high flue temperatures. This will be orders of magnitude more efficient.

You are making a distinction between a mortuary grade crematorium and a mobile incinerator which needn't meet environmental regulatory standards; Russia is not making such a distinction.

I do something similar but 1. for aliases and 2. use period. For example, when working on a Rails project I define the following alias:

function .routes() {
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then
.rails routes
else
.rails routes | grep $@
fi
}

where .rails is another alias (for running bundle exec rails ...). I can then run ".routes webhook" and see all routes containing "webhook".

Last but not least, I automated the whole thing with bash-ctx (https://github.com/gregnavis/bash-ctx).

They are allowed. It’s just extremely difficult to acquire them. NFA is a bitch.

And even if you could overcome the obstacle that the NFA is, you’re unlikely to find a seller.

The most a civilian can reasonably acquire is a 40mm grenade launcher & grenades for it. The caveat is that each individual grenade (and the launcher itself) would be an NFA item, so a $200 tax stamp.

But yes, all of this should be unconstitutional.

European laws are pushing to end Chat providers control over social interactions(which is something that shouldn't be done for profit any way) in the Digital markets act, which forces big apps to provide federation APIs.

The EU with the GDPR made an incentive to not use trackers, dont want that ugly tracker on your site ? Then stop selling data, that's why private analytics like Plausible and Umami have sprung to life.
And also made it clear how much tracking is on the web.

There is also finally a movement to let the US host everything because really, the US isn't trust worthy.

So, the EU laws, gave better awareness about tracking, gave incentives to not use trackers, and is now working on improving the user experience by stopping the monopolization of social interactions.

The authors of the tool created something that can be used for copyright infringement.

The tool itself lacks agency, it did what it was programmed to do.

If you took the tool's suggestions and proceeded to published a derivative work, you may have infringed.

This really doesn't feel any different from P2P filesharing services. Rightsholders have targeted tool publishers in the past, because they are the largest single target and not anonymous; but ultimately the infringement is performed by the end user.
What are examples of Disney getting countries to extend copyright terms?

In the US there have only been two extensions of copyright terms since Disney came into existence.

The first was in 1976, as part of a major overhaul of US copyright law to update the previous law (from 1909) to take into account the large changes in technology since then, and to make US law work more like the rest of the world to pave the way for the US later joining the Berne Convention. The changes for Berne compatibility included longer terms.

I assume Disney did support this, but only because as far as I can tell it had pretty widespread support. It had enough support that it would have passed even if Disney had adamantly opposed it.

The second was in 1998, and that was specifically a term expansion (as opposed to a term expansion like that of 1976 that was a side effect of harmonizing US law with the rest of the world). Europe had expanded terms a few years earlier, so the 1998 change in the US might have been motivated at least in part by harmonization, but I don't think the differences in terms between the US and the EU would have been enough to get it passed without some major interests pushing for it, so it is probably fair to give Disney a good part of the credit or blame for this one.
None of the lines of reasoning were an ad hominem. From your other comment[1], it seems like you think "ad hominem" just means "being rude to someone". I recommend reading the GP comment's description of ad hominem again: it means making a logical argument that depends on the speaker's personal characteristics.

"You're European, so your argument is biased and wrong" is an ad hominem. "Your argument is naive, here's why I think that" is not. The latter is logically downstream of the argument, while the former is upstream.

I looked at it carefully, and I’m not seeing what you’re seeing unfortunately. I interpreted the naive comment as a separate summary of their opinion, and then the rest of the paragraph was the supporting explanation. He didn’t dismiss the idea because it was naive, it’s the reason it is naive is why he was saying it wouldn’t work
> on developing more Canadian culture.

You can't really artificially grow a culture. If people want it, they'll seek it and pay for it.

> I always think about Avro Arrow, and Blackberry. We can't have anything nice because we are too weak.

The Arrow was a plane without a purpose (chasing after supersonic bombers when everyone had moved to ICBMs?).

BlackBerry's failure was internal. They failed to innovate and keep their head start despite years of market dominance. By the time they rollout the Storm at the same time as the iPhone 3G it was clear BlackBerry was at least two years behind Apple, if not more. Despite being hugely profitable they could simply not attract talent in the same way Apple could (and were not competitive with comp at all). Going from BlackBerry to Apple was seen as a great career move, the reverse almost unheard of.

Just adding to the pile of warnings...

About 20 years ago, in the Netherlands, two people from my small town. Both were heavy users. They would visit a coffee shop (our term for a weed shop) twice a day and stay for some 2 hours or longer each time.

Dutch weed was already known to be strong back then, but I have no idea how strong. Probably still less strong compared to what is described in the article. I would estimate they smoked up to 4 full joints each day.

Both developed a psychosis.

One would start random fights with people. I saw him get arrested and in the police car kept bumping his own head to the door with full force. He lost his job and ultimately ended up in a mental facility. He had regular paranoia attacks about being followed and being hacked, and would ask random people to check his phone. He's been bouncing between the mental facility, the police and back again ever since. Already at the age of 25, he was a lost cause, as he had ruined every single aspect of his life. The truly sad part is that life goes on in this miserable state probably for several decades.

As for prior conditions: I had known him for a long while before his detour. Had a steady job, full of life energy, never any aggression, no criminal record, clean as can be.

The other guy started to attend the same prostitute, daily, whom he actually believed to be Madonna. The vast majority of his time though he spent driving between two specific dutch cities as a way to discharge excess electricity he believed to be in his car.

I once was in his home where he picked up one of his mom's books. It was a cheesy doctor romance story. He starts reading out loud from the book but rather than literally reading the text, somehow this text got warped and transformed into his mind, and the output was some bizarre prophecy. As if he was effortlessly producing a brand new Bible on the spot. One of the strangest things I've ever seen anyone do.

I don't know what happened to him, we lost touch.

So yes, getting "sick" doesn't even begin to describe what weed can do when not taking care of dosage.

A bit of context that might be important: Most of my time spent as a security guard was spent either taking the closing shift at an outlet mall on the outskirts of town, or a night or weekend shift at a large office building. I rarely did things like work at a busy mall during the day.

The best part frankly was that there was so little I actually needed to do. I filled out a few forms, I walked the whole site X times of Y period (usually once every 1-2 hours, but depended on the site). Beyond that I was largely just expected to be at my post, reasonably alert and professional looking. My time was my own to do homework, study, read, program, or whatever. I realize that a job without anything to do is a nightmare for some people, but I've never had a problem filling my own time.

Other pros:

* I knew my regular sites almost like my home. Sure during they day there were tons of people, but by the night/weekend when I took over, I was basically the only person in the building and it felt like it was mine.

* Eating lunch on the roof overlooking the city.

* Some of the chillest co-workers I've ever met, from the maintenance crew to the other guards.

* 12-hours shifts meant I was usually only working 3 days a week.

* On holidays me and the maintenance guy would have private movie showings in the building auditorium.

Cons:

* 99% boring, but when things get exciting they get real exciting. Only time I've had guns pointed in my direction, and they were cops.

* I think getting off work and going to bed a 7 a.m. for years has permanently kind of borked my sleep.

417 is specifically for use with the Expect header, so would be a misuse as well. 410 would be fine, but is technically a sub-case of 404, so if 410 is fine 404 should arguably be too.
If you're willing to go through the paperwork and pay for the appropriate permits it's possible to legally own a lot of highly dangerous equipment. I think the only weapons that cannot be legally owned by civilians through any means are things such as nukes and chemical weapons.

Guns are probably a sufficient deterrent against tyranny. A hypothetical tyranical army is unlikely to just start bombing major cities and blindly killing civilians. Guns don't have to enable the citizens to win, they just have to raise the cost of victory high enough to not be worth attacking.

Russian manufacturers rely on foreign imports to make both tanks and cars

Which seems to be supported by russian car sales falling off a cliff, though not anything 1:1 as those cars would have included imported cars too

https://www.intellinews.com/russia-s-car-sales-drop-84-in-po...

Things like artillery shells are probably fine for them to continue to produce in large quantities unfortunately. It's hard to estimate how many working vehicles russia has because a lot of them are poorly maintained, or missing parts or whatever. A lot of early analysis suggested many russian tanks were either lacking a gunner or the main gun just didn't work.

Wikipedia suggests russia should have comissioned 700 BMP-3 units for itself. Open source intel has confirmed losses of 109 of them. I would tend to tack on about 30%. How many of the remaining 560 are out there? A good question.

A more useful answer might be what do we actually see russia using in the field to get a better clue.
Raindrop.io is great.
This is one of the funniest threads I’ve ever seen on this website. People are yelling at eachother about the CIA and the legitimacy of Israel and Assange and the definition of fascism and… anything that pisses anybody off about international politics in general. In a thread about a piece of software that’s (to me and likely many others) prohibitively expensive to play around with.

Anyway I hope somebody creates a playground with this so I can make a computer write a fan fiction about Kirby and Solid Snake trying to raise a human baby on a yacht in the Caspian Sea or whatever other thing people will actually use this for.
> I don't even follow popular music that closely, and yet I've found it astonishing how many popular music artists are Canadian. Drake, The Weeknd, Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Shania Twain are just the ones I can name off the top of my head. Canada's population is smaller than California so it seems like it's punching above its weight.

I don't. They have special laws where broadcasters (radio, tv) have to air a certain amount of government approved programming. So no matter what sells or what people want to hear, the government will revoke their license if they don't promote these whitelisted artists. A show about rap/hip-hop basically has to have Drake or Bieber to be legal.

100%, which reminds me: another example of books created with incredible care are anything by Douglas Hofstadter. The canonical example is Goedel, Escher, Bach; but one that I think is super under-rated is Le Ton beau de Marot -- not only does he care about the content, but the page layout, the font, everything. Truly a labor of love and obsession.
I think because this kind of ML is so new, we have no choice but to frame arguments for/against in terms of the structures that have been in place for decades past (copyright, open source licenses). We don't yet have the legal language to express dissent against ML in clear yes or no terms.

I think if there were an option to add a machine learning clause and ask individual creators if they wanted it applied in that context, we would see a considerable amount of uptake. It's just that we couldn't forsee this progress happening so soon, and the issue is still not visible enough. I think it's only a matter of time before the culture catches up and new creative works in the coming years are excluded from training sets by their authors with clear and direct language.

By that point there would be no way to argue "but they shouldn't care, they licensed it like this, so I'm assuming it's fine for ML use."

If copyright is not enough to stop another entity from using a person's data for training, then some other protection should be invented that does.

> I've never really understood why citizens in the US aren't allowed these items, if the fundamental purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to allow the citizenry to fight tyranny then why aren't the citizens allowed the appropriate arms to do so? How are the laws that allow the US gov to exclude citizens from owning these not 'un-constitutional'? I imagine the answer probably lies somewhere in the "too much risk for accidents or deliberate hostile use" territory.

Because for much of the 20th century, the prevailing interpretation of the 2nd amendment differed from that. Even today, that interpretation is disputed.

1934 was when the first significant federal restriction on owning any sorts of weapons was introduced, and included restrictions on "destructive devices" which is what e.g. a javelin would be considered. These are technically not banned federally, they must merely be registered (and you need a license to manufacture one). Many state laws have various rules about private ownership of explosives that would ban them though. For anything developed for the military, there are also state-secret rules that may prohibit some of these from being made generally available to the public as well (even when we know that the items are already in adversary's hands).

As far as being a check on the police, the Black Panther Party would (legally at the time) open carry shotguns while "observing" arrests made as a check on police brutality, and it's largely agreed that the banning of open-carry in California was a response to this. That being said, if it came down to "cops vs. non-cops" in most areas the non-cops are likely to win just due to sheer numbers.

Sale of (new) fully-automatic weapons to civilians was not federally banned until 1986 (in what was an otherwise fairly pro-gun law).
I don’t use it much, but I setup something in Apple Notes with one note per year. I setup something with Shortcuts to make it quick and easy to append entries to the file with time stamps.
