AJ did not forfeit privilege over it, he was informed of it on the stand on day 12. When sending it his lawyer said disregard as it was sent in mistake, he did not claim privilege BUT more importantly he DID NOT inform his client.

The lawyer certainly committed malpractice in that he leaked privileged client information without consent and did not inform his client so he could contest it, therefore the material was illicitly sent and obtained.

Everything you’re saying is anthropocentric. Give it 1, 10, or 100 million years and the natural order you idolize will have upended itself a thousand times over. All the familiar species will be extinct except for a few. The surface of the earth will have been buried or ground to dust under glaciers. Rivers, lakes and coastlines will warp and vanish and new ones will be created. The changes we have made will be wiped away but even if they remained they would pale in comparison to the violence that nature will have wrought on itself. Hopefully we will be among the stars then having outgrown this tiny pebble.

> using the pf syntax and reloading the entire file will avoid reloading if there is a syntax error in a rule (iptables would run as a bash script and have unpredictable results)

False. iptables-save and iptables-restore does exactly that.

Also false and especially false and ignorant given the syntax complexity and non-friendliness has been a major complaint of the userbase since NFT's inception. But this isn't a suprise: nft syntax was purposefully designed to be better for computers at the expense of humans. It just happens to be that it's more difficult to write rules for humans, but easier for the interpreter and tools to work with them.

I don't believe in this: if you follow through on that, you will end up with a low-code or no-code platform. Or basically, you are creating a programmable platform where your "configuration" is actually gonna be code.

When you create software to support a business, you automatically support business processes. The better you try to support those processes, the better the user experience and the more "tied" the software becomes to those processes.

Often, when you create the software and analyse the needs, it is also a learning experience for the business because they are forced to think about the business processes they have and about the business processes they want to move to.

If, in that business context, certain needs or flows change, it is natural that it requires changes on the code, but those changes should rarely be so dramatic that you have to rewrite big parts of the application. When that happens, there must have been a serious flaw with the analysis and design, or the code was simply bad.

And yes, for certain things, there is a bit of a balance in whether it should be configuration or code. But from the analysis, for most things it will be very black-and-white on whether it should be configuration or code.

> Or how bad Amazon S3 would be if it had a "startup" or "video provider" domain.

I don't understand this comment. Amazon S3 on its own would be very bad to support the business processes of a video provider. And software to support a video provider business would be very bad as a general blob storage solution.

Obviously there is a difference between a general "product" that you want to make usable for a target audience as big as possible and a customised solution to support a business in the best way possible. But both are also different domains. So, yeah, if you create something for a certain domain, it will be an issue if you want to use it for a completely different domain.

I really don't feel that's a fair comparison.

The transgender community needs to stop pushing the notion that it's healthy and desirable; it's not - it's a devastating hormonal/fertility disorder.

We can't even look into the extent to which the androgenisation of humanity is the consequence of the pollutants that we've introduced into the environment.

Now, comparing this to trans-humanist body mods - how many of those result in sterility?

The changes that trans-humans want are intended to extend the capabilities of the human; but a sex change leaves an individual in a physically compromised super-position of the body that they were born with, and the body that fits the mind.

The site used machine learning to identify roads that have the same shape as the BMW’s rear window. Evidently it’s a distinctive design detail. You can find roads with this shape near you and mark them as “I’ve driven this” and strive to up your numbers.

The Hofmeister kink is an automotive design feature consisting of a rearward/forward angle near the base of the rearmost pillar. It is named for Wilhelm Hofmeister, who was BMW's design chief from 1955 to 1970, though it appeared on other-brand cars made before Hofmeister's tenure at BMW.

Twitter stock today ($42.52) is basically where it was at the beginning of the year ($42.66 on Jan 3), on April 1 ($39.31, right before it was disclosed that Musk was the single largest shareholder), and where it was on May 16 ($37.39, after most of the fallout of him pulling out).

Please let me know if another tech stock's price has jumps that are aligned with those events.
"In the world of audiophiles — where provenance is everything and the quest is to get as close to the sound of an album’s original recording as possible — digital is considered almost unholy."

Out of context of the rest of the article, this is total nonsense. While some in the audiophile scene like going analog, none of them debate against the truth that objectively, vinyl is far lower quality. Vinyl doesn't have nearly the resolution or nearly the dynamic range that a high-quality digital recording will have. Not to mention the higher noise floor. You lose a lot of the original audio with vinyl.

I dislike peddling it as somehow the objectively superior option. Or more "natural" or close to the original. That's nonsense.

Don't get me wrong, DACs aren't perfect. But with good recordings and mastering, a good DAC and overall system, it'll sound great.

If someone still likes vinyl knowing its faults, that's 100% fine. Nothing wrong with that, everyone in audio likes the sound a bit differently. Some people absolutely love the sound of vinyl and having a cool physical collection with gorgeous cover art. Power to them!

There are 2 attacks that are just not worth bringing up because we all know they are true:

1) [Politician] is lying.

2) [Media Personality] doesn't really believe what they are reporting.

What you say is true, but also not interesting. Anyone who doesn't already know either of those facts doesn't care to know. It is normal.
I guess I'm not reading it that way. In fact, a FOIA request is going after official records, which I wouldn't expect would contain outright bribery.

Yes, DJB brings up their known bribing of RSA wrt to the whole Dual-EC thing. But my read of that bit of info was the more general 'here's evidence that the NSA actively commits funding towards infecting standards' rather than 'the NSA's playbook just contains outright bribery and that's what we expect to find in the FOIA requests given to NIST'.
And that is fiction which has held the peace for 70 years

"Insightful" is the key word.

The kind of joke that can only derail a perfectly good post and conversation is well avoided here because once you hit the cynical "huck huck" post, the rest of the thread is meaningless and devolves further and further until people finally stop responding to it, and there is no longer any interest in reading the other threads.

There are times a humourous observation, quip or quote is exactly what the doctor ordered. But online, that is nowhere near as common as the very tiresome "huck huck" type that nearly always can be interpreted as "my self-assumed humour is more important than what this post is about" or "let's ignore the post altogether and just regale in my self-assumed sense of humour instead!"

the editor is enough for small scripts, but you can also choose to use your own native editor, or switch to the C# version (and use visual studio or jetbrain rider).

I don't find the scripting language any worse or better than any modern script languages. What are the missing features?
Audre Lorde's quote is relevant here:

----------

For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.

The reason these tools are used by those who use them is because they exploit existing imbalances and biases -- attempting to use the same techniques angled disfavorably against that bias will not be effective.
I bet like most people here, I was really interested in this mostly due to the Blake Lemoine story. I hope the google bot was way better. because this still just seems like a toy.

It is prohibited at Gitlab according to this policy. On developer laptops. It is not necessarily prohibited in all contexts. The one-line title could've been slightly clearer, but I think it's a totally fair statement.

The prohibition on developer laptops is not just a trivial or nitpicky detail; while the security of a VM obviously still matters, as you can't simply assume that malicious software in the VM can't escape, I would assume that the policy effectively means it would also be prohibited to setup a Linux dom0 and just run Windows under that and use it as your developer workspace. The benefit of only using Windows for testing is that you presumably won't be reading emails, talking on team chat, taking video calls, opening documents, etc. inside of Windows, only doing the thing you actually need (testing.) From a security standpoint, this can be helpful. I think that Windows vs Linux security is a rabbit hole not worth debating; both are very flawed and have many challenges, nothing is a panacea. However, I would say that every OS you don't need to harden is a huge operational advantage no matter how you slice it. You effectively cut off an entire slice of the malware market, and easily the largest slice in case of Windows.

But he's right; I don't know if I would call it colonialist, but you are applying your current perspective of how the poor lives to a culture extremely far removed from our own. I think our current situation of extremely disproportional wealth is a new phenomenon and we should be careful in blindly applying our current viewpoints backwards. India has always been an extremely fertile and arable continent; it isn't far fatched that being massaged in oil could have been widespread.

As a debug tool, absolutely. As as a normal part of program execution in production? A bit sketchy. But that said....

I actually don't think invocations of 'natural' are very useful given:

1. There's a degree of ambiguity involved with the term as far as what gets lumped in with natural vs not

2. This ambiguity gets leveraged by those who want to push for whatever their subjective takes on the ideal state of the world/human relations. (i.e. it gets used a lot as a cheap tactic to dismiss human behavioral changes or how we organize ourselves or technological change, etc.)

3. Using 'unnatural' or 'artificial' to describe the modern world on the surface has an air of being descriptive/fact-based, but in reality the speaker tends to be assigning a value judgment (natural = morally good, artificial = morally bad) to a portion of the world they don't like. I don't think I've ever seen someone say "[X] is unnatural, we should have more of it!"

To answer your question on "If the modern human lifestyle isn't 'artificial', what is?' - my answer would be why are we trying to describe the modern human lifestyle as 'unnatural' or 'artificial' in the first place? What are we really trying to convey? I think humans are part of the natural world, and we cannot escape the laws of nature. We live within the bounds of the laws of nature. Calling some of our activities 'artificial' seems to be really about saying we don't like the given activities for whatever reason. And if that is the reason for using the term 'unnatural' or 'artificial', why not just say it and then state why we don't like it?

To bring it all back to the parent I was responding to, is it really that physical labor is some 'natural' thing whereas non-physical labor is 'unnatural' (do any other animals or oganisms do 'labor' as we use the term?)? In general, types of human labor seems like a weird area to assign a natural/unnatural label on. Or is it really about thinking something may be getting lost as we move away from physical labor? And if so, we should just say so instead of leaning on the power of the word 'natural'.

Just like $250,000 fines for downloading Metallica killed online piracy.
You keep saying fuzzy things like "made by humans", and "easily metabolized by other microbes", and "great cycle". I'd suggest pinning down a more formal definition of natural. Here's one (well, many): https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/natural.

By definition 4

> 4: having an essential relation with someone or something

your rhetorical question and answer:

> Are unnaturally occurring materials vital to modern human life? Yes!

pretty much prove that plastic is natural, by definition 4, of course.

The closest definition of the 15 to the way you are using the word is 8

> 8: occurring in conformity with the ordinary course of nature

But that's more related to a process by which something occurs. And the key word there is ordinary. The closest I think we have to your argued use of natural would be saying something like the process of extraordinarily changing the environment in a way that disrupts existing ordinary processes, is unnatural. The example used for this definition is death, so something like murdering somebody with a gun might be colloquially closest to this definition, for the death was unnatural.

But regardless, semantically we run up against a pretty unarguable definition when looking at the noun nature:

> 1: the external world in its entirety

By definition whatever the world includes is part of nature.

It's pretty clear you can't exclude humans from nature and then argue anything they do is not natural.

Getting off of semantics, the reason this is even an argument at all is because nature in a transhumanist world might look very different than nature in our predominately "organic", or human, world. And an argument in the piece we're discussing is that transhumanism isn't interesting anymore because we're living it. Then, if we're living it, it's our nature. We introduced plastics, who's to say microbes or fungi or nanobots won't develop to decompose plastic too? Certainly that exhibits the characteristics you describe as participating in the great cosmic dance of Gaia, no? Even so, it still boils down to a time scale thing. If we made obsidian in a lab, would it be unnatural just because it didn't come from a volcano? Yes, and no!

Finally, a reassuring reminder that HN is, in fact, quite natural:

> 15: of an off-white or beige color

There's a solid argument for keeping those books for their historical value. Like how Mein Kampf is in a lot of libraries, but not the lunatic ravings of some modern equivalent.
I feel people (myself included) are drawn to notetaking/PKM topics because there's a fear that others have unlocked a secret to learning the layperson hasn't yet discovered.

In my experience observing my peers, aside from intellectual horsepower, thinking about topics from first principles is the best way to learn. This has nothing to do with Logseq, Obsidian, Zettels, paper, workflows, Literature notes, or any other fad.

Don't understand something? Go back a step and understand that. Even better if you have to explain it to someone else. Then see how you structure it into a latticework of knowledge, as Charlie Munger would say.
