You're only online on IRC while you're connected to it. When you disconnect your client, your username disappears from the list and you cannot receive private messages or see conversations in IRC channels. One user == one open TCP connection.

A bouncer holds that TCP connection for you and you connect to it instead of directly to the server. It will store messages received while you were away, automatically log conversations to disk, and allow you to connect to the same user with multiple devices, among other features.

Everything is money. But! There are subcultures that are hard to monetize though, e.g. furry subculture since it comes with so much pornography. No brand wants to be close to that. At this point, as a furry artist, I feel it's refreshing that this very weird and mostly harmless adult nature keeps the rest of the art also somewhat safe and in the hands of small artists.
From https://onlyfans.com/about.html Mission : "The site is inclusive of artists and content creators from all genres and allows them to monetize their content while developing authentic relationships with their fanbase".

Apparently we define "authentic relationship" differently. I think it's quite explicit in the article that the targets do not want just "content" ...

And what we do know, doesn't necessarily mean what those searching for descent from antiquity think it means. All tracing of such descent assumes that pregnancies involved known paternity, whereas we know that in general, there is a lot of error in recorded paternities (one of the more interesting side effects of DNA sequencing, both in consumer offerings, and in medical and official use, is demonstration that far more children are not the children of their named or assumed father than was suspected). Add to that, the fact that you could potentially have, say, Charlemagne in your direct line of descent, and still have none of his genetic material in your makeup. This is so because at the remove of Charlemagne, you're 48, give or take a few, generations, removed from the trillions of leaves on your family tree, but you get roughly 1/2^-n of your DNA from an nth generation progenitor and have only 2^36th or so base pairs of DNA in your entire genome. So, Charlemagne can be your umpty-great grandfather, and yet you in be in no genetic sense, a descendent of Charlemagne.

In other words, past a dozen or so generations, any data we've got on bloodlines has a lousy signal to noise ratio for proving direct descent.

Tesla design isn't so much about looking good as about looking distinctive. People have to be able to tell that it's a Tesla before they even see the logo. It's a characteristic of fashion/vanity brands in all markets. As another example, a lot of fashionable clothes or shoes are actually - and often deliberately - quite unappealing by any standards much outside the fashion industry (including "influencers") itself.

I specifically mentioned training because I knew this answer would come, and like clockwork it did.

Training takes time, and often unpaid. A coffee shop worker will immediately get rewarded while the engineer will not. If they will be equally compensated then the engineer is at a disadvantage.

> In my opinion, people who would like to study engineering would do so not so because of what they are paid (the situation today), but because of their genuine interest.

Marx said the same. If the people would be free they would produce out of their heart's desire. As it did not turn out that way the party needed to force the worker's desire into them. Literally to free them by force (freedom by force is another concept in itself :)).

India is a "non-aligned" country, it's not "pro-Western". They have good relations with Russia, which is their main weapons supplier.

The West tends to cultivate them in relation to China, at which point calling them "the biggest democracy in the world" is simply a propaganda tool to sell them as the 'good guys' to public opinions (vs. China who are obviously the 'bad guys'). But the issues between India and China are independent of any "pro-Western" stance or political system, they are purely based on conflicts of interests between those two countries, including left-overs from the British Empire when it comes to border disputes.
I know anta sports (Chinese) owns Arc'teryx and Salomon (and other brands as well), which are both big deals in very niche parts of outdoors companies (mountaineering/climbing and trail running/skiing respectively) but I don't think there's any single Chinese company that owns all the outdoor brands, unless anta is owned by some other company. Luxottica, the eyeglass company gp referred to is also Italian, not French (afaik), and their stranglehold was weakening with online retailers breaking in (last I checked was ~5 years ago, this might have regressed since).
It just says "kill count: 54" (my result). It doesn't say who is responsible for the killing.

It's starting to look like removing some of the sexual morals that societies had used for hundreds of years is a classic Chesterton's fence style problem.

I'm not a lawyer, nor am I an Indian lawyer, but if Razorpay received a Section 91 order (https://indiankanoon.org/doc/788840/) they wouldn't have much choice on turning over any records. It looks to be the rough equivalent of third party doctrine in the US (which is also horrible).

It can come from "any Court or any officer in charge of a police station".

Banks and fintech in many countries are even more exposed to data demands than regular data processors.

Pitchforks may be justified here, but perhaps not directed at Razorpay.
Ideally, in a democracy, it should be open and transparent who owns what, up to the individual. That should be the basic principle of a free market.

This is always my problem with the trolley problem. Are we supposed to take second order effects into account?

For example, if I destroy the trolley that is killing 5 people over 30 years with CO2, does another trolley get built to replace it?

Or ‘kill 5 people now or send the trolley into the future 100 years and kill 5 people then’. Is it 100% guaranteed the trolley kills them then? Or can I assume there is a tiny chance they figure out time travel and can make preparations?

Or the ‘stuck on an eternal loop’. Does this mean true eternity and are the people in the trolley immortal? Or just for 70 years?
My office/music studio is in my finished basement. I use two open bulb fixtures, 4 bulbs each, with Sylvania TruWave soft whites (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWYMZCK), on an LED dimmer switch set to around 60% (most of the time).

I used to use a bulb from Prometheus (https://darksucks.com/products/ultra-high-cri-led-lightbulb) that had excellent color rendering, but they were expensive, and despite their 3 year warranty, half the bulbs failed in 6 months. I finally got tired of asking for replacements and just gave up.

> But contrary to the dominant narrative, nearly all child abductions are perpetrated by family members. Stranger abductions — certainly alarming and tragic — actually occur with “lightning-strike rarity,” as a report in the journal Criminal Justice Studies put it, in contrast to the more than 200,000 parental abductions committed each year that meet the criminal criteria and are not merely delayed visitations or misunderstandings.

And the 840k number massively overstates actual active cases; reports can be solved in a matter of minutes/hours, like a lost kid at an amusement park.

The US doesn't have a good track record in that regard, even towards its own people.
In the US it was very common. My kids did it at school in the 90s.

The point was that if your child goes missing, you have their fingerprints available so they can be used in investigations. In our case, the fingerprints were given to us to take home in case they were ever needed. At the time I didn't think to ask if the police kept a record for themselves, but I doubt it (just because local PD wasn't very organized).
I'm getting really tired of the companies using "open source version of X" as pure marketing when all they release is a gimped version that is basically unusable while shilling their SaaS version that has full features

In addition to what other replies have said, there's a huge difference between being against technology and being against big tech companies.

I am a wholehearted proponent of technology.

I am also very strongly against the trajectory over the past decade or so of Facebook and Google, the blatant disregard of companies like Uber and AirBnB for regulation (and their VC-funded price undercutting), and the entire blockchain/cryptocurrency sphere.

Too much of Big Tech recently has been pushing in the direction of cyberpunk dystopia. I believe we need to be moving more toward solarpunk.

I think that democracy as a governance model is also meant as a liberal economic model with free market ideals. Even the authoritarian Chinese have elements of a democratic governance model with voting, however the one party rule maintains firm control over the state and economy, superceding and overriding the autonomy of the liberal economy (of a dual economic model) when it comes to national economic goals set by the party. The market is only as free as the party allows, which is true in general but it's more the case in China.

With Arabs struggling to buy food, they may be wanting to replicate the economic success and rapid growth of the Chinese model as the end of the article says may happen in the uncertain future.

I think this also paints a potential future for other countries as economies become ravished by recession and inflation and war, with people wanting a strong authoritarian alternative against the usual democratic politics.

The notched area of the screen isn’t used in full screen mode. The remaining non-notched area of the screen is a standard size and ratio.

The notch is a total non-issue during normal use because it only exists in the menu bar area. It basically looks like another item occupying your menu bar. If you go full screen you still have a notch-free experience.

They probably show it that way in promotional materials because people wrongly assume that it’s a bigger deal than it actually is. Virtually nobody actually cares about it when they start using the laptop.
There's no way of saying it without sounding sarcastic that yes, this feels like a scam, if not just a bad idea. The fact that they have to come out and say, "no, we're not storing pictures of your kids" doesn't help. The idea of the app is sound, and one would hope you could trust the Federal Government with such information (like they don't have it already), but the iOS6 era screenshots and verbiage feel like a real scam.

Are you sure about that special equipment part? There are a ton of areas of research that require highly specialized and usually expensive equipment. There are sometimes people creating plans for open hardware but it is not the norm
1) We are now 2 generations in without full Linux support for the hardware.

2) I used my Powerbook G4 for 12 years; this is mostly because I was a kid with no money. When I got something else, my sister used it for another 3 years. With thermals as they are in this device, instead of selling it after 4-5 years I'd rather keep it for one-off projects as a server like a Mac Mini. I know laptops aren't designed for server work, but I love that it's a server with a builtin terminal. Also a device I'd use for hiking, because I could charge it from backpack solar.

3) The worst experience I've had was telling my dad MacOS Catalina couldn't be installed on his $3.5k iMac.

For me, the thing that kills the theory for me is the idea that, in the middle of western Europe being about as politically stable and integrated as modern Afghanistan, all the warlords pillaging the country to kill each other were able to not only unanimously agree on "let's change the year to a nice round number", but were also able to coordinate this without leaving any historical records of it.

Here's the thing about conspiracies: they have a shelf life. The amount of time you can keep a conspiracy secret is bounded by the number of conspirators, how well you can get them to shut up, and how long it has been since the conspiracy occurred. You can take a secret only you know to your grave, but work in a group of ten and someone will confess before their death. Bring in hundreds or thousands and the conspiracy will be blown open accidentally before you can even execute on it.

Now think of how many people had to cooperate to change something as simple and fundamental as the passage of recorded history. Hell, forget the fact that these were all angry, violent warlords; just think of how many scribes, monks, and bureaucrats would all have to remember to write 1000 instead of 736 whenever they wrote a date. It only takes one slip-up to reveal the fraud to archaeologists in the far future, even if they all agreed that they wanted to live in the nice round-number millennium. And nobody would be trying to protect against that because nobody would be thinking, "how do we hide this from 21st century archaeologists trying to discover our time crimes?"
It certainly gets around some of the privacy concerns you get once your platform has message persistence.

> - higher lifeforms are more valuable than lower ones (cat vs lobsters)

Choosing between preserving the life of one cat vs one lobster seems straightforward enough. But the trolley problem was asking whether one cat was more valuable than five lobsters. According to the stats, many people agreed, but how about one cat vs a million lobsters? Or one cat vs all the lobsters on earth? Most people would think that making lobsters extinct would be very bad (unless they really hate lobsters).

The difficulty is when we can no longer rely on intuition and have to come up with a precise exchange rate of when one being's life is more valuable than another's, which, like you say, is impossible to do in the complicated world we live in and our limited understanding of consciousness and neuroscience. In absence of that, deferring to the first law "whenever possible, do no harm" seems sensible.
An autocracy of the majority, for the majority, by the majority.
