I have a low-capacity obfs4 tor proxy, it has been running for a few months and isn't blocked in Russia yet.

It has about fifteen users each day, all connecting from Russian ISPs.

I set it to only be announced by the telegram bot and only for a few weekends.

Command-line interfaces do not have to be text-stream based.

It is not true that command-line interfaces are not used to remotely administer GUI desktops. This is actually a huge and very common problem space.
Imagine the sphincter-clenching moment when you realize you've got that ticket. How much do you trust your neighbors now?

The lottery is a way for the government to take over the numbers racket, which formerly was a source of revenue for organized crime. It is a net benefit to society for that reason.
Naturally this depends primarily on how far away from home you happen to be.

If you take a base case of ~1gbps simultaneous fiber link at your house and you are within 10s of miles, the added latency will probably be noticable but not horrendous (back of the napkin says 20-100ms, mostly due to 5g wireless hiccups and cross-network carrier transit).

Browsing HN: May not notice

Watching YouTube or other more bandwidth intensive activities: Probably could notice a little lag and/or longer load times. Even if you have 1gbps upload at home, in some (or many) cases you may only achieve 100mbps or possibly even less to your device (I've tested this manner of Wireguard PTP extensively IRL).

Mileage will vary.
They could offload 0.07% of their thinking capacity to take care of resource acquisition and distribution for us, maintaining some sorte of quasi-utopia and effectively adopting us.
“Survival of the fittest” is a statistical observation of a population ensemble. You can be otherwise fit and eager to replicate and be hit by a truck. Or you can be sick and almost infertile but got someone pregnant. So Darwin doesn’t explain the human condition and why the just might fall due to sickness or the wicked become rich and prolific. That only Heaven knows.
This is a weird take, very HN/Reddit. At best it misses the point, and at worst it insults the poor.

Its not a "tax" - it's just fun. The odds are terrible, but the dream / "what if?" aspect of it is fun. Theres no downside to playing (Who doesn't have a dollar or two? even when I was broke and lived in my car, I had a spare buck here and there), but the potential upside is limitless.

You can make up whatever fallacious slippery slope arguments you care to invent, but such routers already exist and they are the best, most secure routers you can buy.
> If you can nurture a human with X amount of plant food, but instead use X+Y amount of plant food (and extra water, fertilizer, fossils fuels etc.) to raise cattle to nurture the same amount of humans

The key points you're missing are that the plants that cows eat aren't suitable for human consumption, and the land that said plants grow on isn't suitable for growing any plants that are suitable for human consumption.
Depends entirely upon how exactly it's broken, and how the mode is enabled. If it's done in the settings app, then as someone else here pointed out, a broken screen would make that a bit pointless. If the mode can be enabled other ways (button combination, something via USB, etc) preferably in multiple possible ways, then it could be extremely useful.
I think foundationdb uses sqlite as its tablet kv engine? It’s sqlite all the way down
How is it "not the solution". Having 50MW of base load being able to be deployed anywhere could allow for everything else covered by renewables.

If I were a poor remote county and I wanted to make sure that

1) my residents emergency needs were covered hospital, sanitation, water, emergency heating, etc

2) also had access to cheap power

Having one of these provide the base load for critical infra allows one to shop around for cheap renewable power wherever it may come from.
Where does the lower bound of 2.35 come from? When you state this lower bound you are saying that we know with certainty that at least this much impact will happen. We lack that data so there's no lower bound, or rather the lower bound is zero. You could falsely claim a lower bound, but that erodes the credibility of the environmental movement.
It appears that the LCOE for utility-scale solar which you're referencing here, community and rooftop both being significantly more expensive, is based on existing installations. But existing installations would have used the cheapest available land, and the cheapest available land tends to be in short supply. Solar installations on a significantly larger scale would have to use less ideal land (less accessible, more rugged, more expensive) and would incur associated cost increases. Solar is like a huge orange tree where we have been mostly picking from the lower branches — there are more than enough oranges on the tree for everyone, but you can't expect them all to be as easy as the low-hanging fruit.

However, I am optimistic about storage, particularly since zinc-bromine seems poised to break into the market, with excellent resource availability. Zinc production is about 13 Mt/yr [1], and the battery offers about 67 Wh/kg, with ~1/3 the weight in zinc, so 200 Wh/(kg Zn), so potential production is over 1 TWh/year before running into availability problems. There are also about half a billion tonnes of bromine in the Dead Sea alone [2]. (Since this is my third Zn-Br post, I'll add that I don't currently have investments in them, but I'm considering it.)

This begs the question for what to do about illegal drugs.
But we're not talking about an entire society of normalized rule breaking. I agree, there are places where a traffic light is little more than ornamentation, but in much of the West the average driver respects most rules of the road (speed limits being the least commonly respected).

So we're talking about a how to affect the size of a minority subpopulation in an otherwise rule following society. Here the consequences give rule-breakers pause.

"Is running this red light really worth the fine?"

"I already have 5 points on my license and I'll lose my job if it gets suspended"

That's the value of consequences. You'll never stop all rule breakers or enforce consequences with perfect fairness, but some will be deterred which makes the system worthwhile.
Sure, let's stop making fertilizer out of fossil fuels. That doesn't require us to stop eating meat.
Current food production relies heavily on fossil fuels, so it’s inherently unsustainable. Which is not to say that it can’t be changed to become sustainable, I’d say the jury is still out on that question.
The irony is that "why logic" has been definitely answered... all sorts of highly technical formal logic found use in computer science!

That's not true. Bows and arrows shot further and straighter than muskets.

You're also arguing with well established historical fact. Before the pilgrims, no European colony could establish themselves because the Indians would threaten them if they didn't leave. The pilgrims established themselves in Plymouth because smallpox killed off all the Indians shortly before their arrival. (It's so well known that it's even repeated in Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving special)

I don't see the need. If you're worried about making accidental changes there are many ways to prevent that, depending on editor/IDE and OS. For me almost all the code I look at is checked into some git repo so accidental changes are a non-issue.

I quickly verified the data records [0][1] mentioned by the website, and indeed it shows France instead of Colombia:

So probably it's a mistake from "notable-people" rather than the original data record.

He’s on Squawk Box weekly spinning away. I’m perfectly familiar with him going back to the Obama years.

His role, in public at least, is to try to spin the D econ failure of the day in the way Wall Street might barely find plausible. Again, seems like a good and sharp person, but not an unbiased observer, and certainly not a CEO dealing with inflation issues in their business.
No matter how many times my dad beat me or my mom yelled, it didn't instill discipline, just resentment. What worked to give me discipline was getting a job and living on my own. Simple incentive is all that's necessary to ensure people show up and do work.
“the us is putting missiles in ukraine” — first time I’m hearing that explanation. Didn’t he invade because Ukraine is “full of nazis”? Or was it due to the “nukes Ukraine was planning to get”? Or to “return Ukraine to Russia”?

Adding to that, police don't operate in a vacuum and may respond to the election of a progressive DA by reducing their level of effort, whether that's in retaliation, or out of a fear of being prosecuted for misconduct, or as a form of strike [1]. Or, like you said, we just see drops because they don't bother to make arrests they know won't get prosecuted (e.g. nonviolent drug arrests in philly following Larry Krasner's election follow this pattern [2]). Or, its some demographic, or socioecenomic, or some other trend unrelated to the DA (or which also happened to result in the DA being elected in the first place).

Basically, stats are hard, crime stats are really hard, and someone who tells you Crime rates did X because Person A did thing Y without a 20 page paper probably doesn't have a clue, including me.

And yet despite they lower bar, there have been no nuclear accidents. Perhaps the NRC's bar for nuclear safety is needlessly high. A realistic safety regime needs to weight the risk of accidents with the immense risks of continued carbon emissions.

I feel like I should attempt to reach out to Werner Vogels, their CTO, who I respect greatly. I'm sure this is some data migration that went rogue, etc., but a simple mechanism of "remind me later" to a password reset would have fixed the issue. You must not twist the arms of a customer with 2FA enabled to change their password! Also, if the mobile app asks me to change my password, it would be inconvenient as I still prefer desktop browsers for this type of activity. Also, the app on my phone, which has been installed and activated for ages, is effectively another form of 2FA - why was I logged out from there, too?! In general, they are violating many of the modern-day best practices!
Why so offended to suggest that some people could have overdone it to the overall negative? Parent isn't necessarily suggesting that the reaction was the typical one.
also "lions commentary on unix" does the same, but with 6th edition unix if you're feeling like a "great books" approach to operating system software design.
They are so big and complex they have paradoxically lost advantages of scale. Allegedly, if you build two of the same nuke, it’s actually more expensive to build the second one because you have to do a whole bunch of change orders to adapt the existing design to a completely different site.
Nuclear uses far less resources and land area than both wind and solar plus storage. So sure, it costs some more money but it costs less actual real stuff.

Furthermore, it is not feasible to power individual personal vehicles or homes with nuclear reactors, so using nuclear for the grid frees up those resources that can be used for other stuff, for that stuff.
I was talking only about public bridges, because this is the use-case that RKN is trying to prevent: people have a free way to access blocked information. People who have means find/access a private bridge can have a private VPN too, and it'll work much better for this purpose.

Btw, it is quite difficult now to have private bridge or VPN because of idiotic ban on Mastercard / visa payments Russians can't pay for hosting without a lot of trouble. While inside radishes Russia Mastercard/Visa work fine. Putin is happy: dissidents are cut off, his supporters didn't even notice.
I don’t doubt you believe what you wrote is truth, but please try to imagine how they sound to someone like me, who has never heard any of this. “People live for thousands of years” is such an extraordinary statement that it simply cannot be thrown around without backing it up with equally strong evidence (at minimum, a list of names). The fact that you present that as fact without any further explanation is a worrisome sign. It’s what someone in a cult would do. Again, I mean no disrespect. Perhaps you were just writing on your mobile and not willing to spend longer time than necessary explaining your beliefs to a stranger on the internet.

Eh, I know more than a few people who, over decades, spent small fortunes on these lotteries. $10/month over multiple decades really adds up, especially when you’re already poor.

I’m not saying I agree with the “it’s a tax” position, but I definitely don’t agree with the “it’s just fun” position. It’s an industry that preys on poor people’s poor (monetary) decision making skills.

Except for property crimes, there are reason to believe that the official statistics are totally unrepresentative of actual number of crimes committed. For instance: https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/shoplifting-data-Targ...
I consider every part of our jail system a travesty.

We have the highest incarceration rate in the world, have an abusive plea bargain process to more efficiently railroad people in, avoid oversight of our prisons, and once prisoners get out they are often unemployable.

Just to offer one example, until 1970 plea bargaining was generally considered unconstitutional because it offers such large incentives for innocent people to not even attempt to defend their rights, no matter how flimsy the evidence against them. Today over 95% of cases are decided by plea bargains. The rate varies by crime. For drug offenses it is around 97%. And yet in most cases the actual investigation is no more than a faulty field test that is inadmissible in court. See https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/10/magazine/how-a-2-roadside... for verification of that.

Whatever your opinion on our war on drugs, it is clear that a lot of people going to jail for drugs are actually innocent.

See https://innocenceproject.org/an-end-to-plea-bargains/ for more.
Accentuâtes and édit do make sense as French words. An Édit is an edict, and accentuâtes is simple past (passé simple) for accentuer (accentuate).
That sounds like repair mode

This sounds like something that nix is optimised for. The inputs into building each package is captured so having different feature flags would just create different artifacts.
There is no climate catastrophe. That’s simply a modern version of the superstition you lament. The end of the world is always conveniently just 12 years away. I’m old enough to remember the Prophesy of Al Gore (peace be upon him) and how none of that came to pass. 2009: “the North Pole will be ice free by 2013.” I also remember the dire predictions of acid rain, the ozone hole, and numerous other proclamations that stirred up the anti-capitalist faithful.

There’s always some sort of catastrophe just looming just over the horizon of the next election. Televangelists have made careers from warning the faithful that their doom is assured — unless you reprint (and contribute.) The climate alarmist crowd has taken pages right out of the tent-revival handbook of the 19th century. Snake oil.
> There's some studies that shows that while effective at changing behavior, it also teaches the kid that violence is sometimes necessary, a lesson that I'm not sure if we should be teaching them.

Isn't that true, though? Violence is sometimes necessary.

Teaching a child that violence is never necessary is just as bad as teaching the child that violence is always necessary.
Yeah I only learned about it recently. And apparently "_nomap" _has_ to be at the end of the SSID. A weird system for something that should be opt-in anyways.
If it’s a project I already have open in VS Code, I won’t use a separate tool.

If it’s a single file I want to check out, I have an alias for “nvim -R” which I use a lot. Vim’s syntax highlighting is very good, prevents me from making accidental changes, and is very convienent if I’m in the terminal already.

If I’m looking at code on GitHub then their code-search feature is very cool (cs.GitHub.com or by pressing cmd+shift+f on GitHub).

This is such a silly problem to have. User agents that want an exception to a policy are free to make one.
After ticket sales were tallied, the final value of the jackpot was higher than an initial estimate of $1.28 billion. The winner has the choice of a cash option worth an estimated $780.5 million if taken as a lump sum payment instead of the annuity option with 30 payments.

Seems $1.34B is a marketing number and the actual number is $708.5M pre-tax (58% of marketing figure). They also encourage you take money every year for 30 years instead, probably paying out a bit extra and banking on your incapacity to calculate for inflation.
the mafia had competition though, so probably offered better odds. In Vegas, even under the mafia, the house edge was small...way smaller than the lotto.

"Deconstruct" is doing a lot of work here. Nobody knows how to take apart fission reactors promptly after they are shut down at the end of their economic life. All we know how to do is wait many years for activity levels to decline, then incrementally remove materials starting with the least contaminated, which itself takes decades. The materials can only be recycled into other nuclear facilities, which means that essentially none of this material has been recycled, because nobody is building.
Does Tor Browser still use the same relay for months at a time or have they fixed that?
And yet the poor are the ones overwhelmingly playing the lottery. When you're making six figures you don't really need to win a lottery to be happy and have your needs met, compared to someone living paycheck-to-paycheck. You're also less likely to play if you have enough education to realize it's a bad use of your money.

As with anything, you can look at decisions on an individual level or a systemic level, but the system itself (like the hollowing out of the middle class) encourages certain types of behavior.

Yeah I can imagine no circumstance in which winning that kind of money in full view of the public could be good for anybody. Like even if you said “I am giving it all away,” either a) people don’t believe you and want some money and think you are a bad person if you don’t give it up and you are publicly shamed or b) you obsessively document where the money is going and people don’t agree with how you have it away and you are publicly shamed.
There's no viable way to build storage at the scale required to run a wind and solar grid. Even building just 1 hour of electricity storage amounts to 2,500 GWh. The entire world's annual output of battery storage is somewhere between 300 and 400 GWh. Any attempt at grid scale storage would lead to shortages driving up prices.

Similar bottlenecks occur with pumped hydroelectricity. To build it economically you not only need an alpine lake handy, it also needs to be close to transportation infrastructure. As those sites are developed, we'd turn to more and more remote sites.
Which government? Is it split between all participating states? Or just the state the ticket was bought in? The multi-state lotteries - unsure how that works.

Which is why I asserted both statements to be true side by side. It was in fact the entire point of my comment. Things are worse overall for the end user as a result of both divergent experiences being simultaneously true.
