Selecting the right host is very important. They should be unattractive as a host for spammers. Get this part right and you don't have to worry that tomorrow your neighbour is a spammer. The virtual/dedicated thing is not as important — many providers comingle virtual and dedicated servers in the same address space anyway.

One example of a good signal: if you cannot sign up online, but must make personal contact with the provider (via email or other means) to set up a server. It's a minor inconvenience for you — you're only going to do it once — but spammers expect to have to do it many times and won't bother.
> Further, try to abide by their requests. If they want the trash can by the door to your office or cubicle on Thursday evening, move the damn trashcan to the door.

Better yet, take your damn trashcan out to the damn dumpster your own damn self.

Then we can save some damn money and fire the damn janitor.

> They have 100 to empty; it's a trivial task for you.

It's a trivial part of their job. They're getting paid for it.
Okay, then I recommend you to go on DDoSing campaigns and see how it goes. Maybe you really do have that right, I don't know.
I agree with everything you said, but that's only because none of it addressed anything I said. Authoritarian regimes will always have reason to hate anyone outside the standard model of a citizen. Our concept of internet freedom and service neutrality is what helps these oppressed people connect and share their stories. This already happened in the 90s, where LGBT BBS' and messageboards gave like-minded people places to reach out with each other. Later, this gave rise to platforms like Vice News and dozens of other media outlets that could freely report on queer topics without fear of persecution.

In this particular instance, I think Keffals was wrong. She poured gasoline on a fire, and then blamed the fire for not putting itself out. That doesn't make KiwiFarms right, but it does prevent me from sympathizing with her.
Please do share. I did the same and have it but having trouble deploying it to a prod GPU server, still figuring it out.
Wrap a timer around your tests, there that is measuring something!
I ignore the janitor because of the obvious wealth disparity between us. He works just as hard as me but is doing a job nobody likes and is paid less for it.

It's completely unfair. And when I just see the janitor it's all I think about.

This article is like, be nice to the people you step on. Yeah. I don't disagree with that sentiment.
I tried RISC OS on a single-core Raspberry Pi and I was quite impressed at how well it ran. Significantly faster on this board than the stock Linux desktop environment based on LXDE.

Downsides are the usual, setting a native monitor resolution is not as easy or possible in the era of high resolution screens, the web browser cannot be used for the modern web.

I'm always impressed by those early brains that had no problem creating new things for the first time in assembler.
its not exactly a secret we are very far away from useful quantum computers. Every comment i've ever seen from people in that industry, except those in a financial position to benefit, have said so.
Correct. This is the law in the United States. But would it apply to someone working outside of the United States?
100%

I understand OP's sentiment, and even share it to a degree.

It's 50% FOMO, and 50% a certain arrogance of "It made it to my client desktop, the bits are HERE, therefore they're mine now. How DARE you reach out remotely and remove them." Feels like a violation.

But these feelings are silly, and life is too short to worry about such things. There are better things to optimize for and spend time on.

This is a cool tech demo, but anyone who's thinking of using it PRACTICALLY should consider why they also don't root through their building's trash for nuggets others threw out.

Harassment should never be included under free speech. Kiwifarms was a site whose purpose was harassment so it's not even an issue for it to be removed.
the article starts with "We're using less electricity. Some power plants have even shut down. So why do state officials keep approving new ones?"

The authors do not seem to realize that transition to EVs will require to at least double the available electrical capacity.
Incitement is already illegal. SWATing and making true threats are also illegal. What we need is not nuking entire websites from orbit because they have bad actors, but actually upholding the law via law enforcement. Private corporations should not be the arbiters of online speech.

Freedom of speech is also our freedom to read or freedom to hear. When tech giants delete entire websites from the internet, we've all lost our ability to choose for ourselves what we'd like to read or hear.
This makes me immediately think about the Cobra effect anecdote (or fable?). Basically, the Indian gov't tried to control the snake population by offering a bounty, and people started breeding snakes and killing them for bounty money.

> We spent a considerable amount of time two years ago developing Excel extensions for our spreadsheet-version-control product. It was... not ideal from a development perspective.

So here’s the thing. You develop once, people use many.

So the point of dev is to do the not ideal things so the many users don’t have to. Suck it up so users have it easy. Software that doesn’t make users change, that doesn’t get in the way of a career of learning to bend Excel to their will, they’ll throw money at you for that.

Definitely a shocking amount of support for what appears to be a cesspool of bigotry. Sorry, you dont feel welcome anymore. This site has had an unfortunate devolution in this regard since around the time Trump got elected, and certainly by the time Jan. 6 happened.
> I no longer feel like I can speak up, for fear of illegal reprisals. Why should they be allowed to infringe on my rights?

They aren’t allowed to do this hence the illegal qualifier.

The problem is they can also use the same means that allow you to post this anonymously to harass people anonymously. If you take this away from them you also lose the ability (which would never happen because you’re one of the good ones). Until someone decides you aren’t one of the good ones.
What we found 20+ years ago when we started to provide a very poor service to attempted spam delivery was that the spammers realised our servers were very 'slow' and stopped the attempts. We used to get 1000s of new IPV4 tuples / day, now we get < 10. If you put the inbound SMTP sessions to sleep this is wrecking the spammers bus. model, they need to deliver 1,000,000,000+ / day. Don't u fell sorry 4 them. The only time we don't tuck them in 4 a snooze is if they are in a 3rd party BL !!!

I don't understand how people can get away with swatting. That seems like one of the biggest issues with situations like these. Shouldn't swatters get hunted down and thrown in prison?
I agree with you.

Cloudflare is an independent entity and is within its rights to refuse service for businesses that are unsavory (including kiwifarms due to supporting harassment, propagandists, illegal substances, or whatever it chooses).

I am surprised radicalized keyboard warriors on the internet feel better about the situation and their lives when they harass, SWAT, and dox others. I am sorry you've experienced this and live in fear of it. It seems out of sync with of principles they tend to mutually adopt from Jordan Peterson and similar. That said, those tend to be a bit of a philosophical mess anyhow.

Maybe it's a little thing, but I hope knowing some random other person on the internet agrees with you, and who doesn't run in the same circles, brings some comfort to you. I applaud you for navigating your identity and looking to live your life to be the best you. It shouldn't have to be in fear. Good luck out there.

The CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, said that he's expecting a price war among manufacturers to bring entry level EVs down to $25k: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/ford-ceo-sees-electric-v...

He thinks most manufacturers will go LFP, and increasing scale of LFP cell production plus the low material cost will crater the price of the battery pack. He also wants to go to direct online sales, and cut advertising:

>Ford, like Tesla, may not have to buy advertising to sell EVs, which now amounts to $500 to $600 per vehicle, Farley said.

Terrifically bad news for legacy TV, if true. It would certainly blow a hole in the NFL's budget.
Regarding your [Taiwan, US, PRC, Brazil, Nigeria, Malawi] innovation ranking, I don't feel like I have a good sense of it, TBH. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd be curious to know on what basis you make the judgement. Is it just in reference to TSMC?

I guess I'm interested in the historical conditions because now it's commonly held that "innovation is good" but it was not always so! The ancient Egyptians had an incredible stable empire that lasted thousands of years, and yet they did not innovate. Other cultures like the Romans seemed to innovate, but then stopped. Same with the Chinese (or rather they innovated but did not apply innovations like gunpowder to, well, guns). The Roman motivation was modern, I guess, in that it got them more. Maybe they would have kept going if not for collapse? Then came the Dark Ages, and then the Enlightenment, in which all the good stuff started to happen! You had all these smart people asking great questions and doing experiments, talking to each other and advancing human knowledge, faster than ever before. Why did that happen? The innovation you're talking about is a difference in degree, not kind; the shift I'm talking about seems more like a phase change. Why did Descartes start caring about geometry after Euclid had, apparently, ended the subject? Why did Laviosier question the alchemist views on substances? Why did Newton and Leibniz spend so long dwelling in a strange and alien world of self-consistent imagination? (And all this in addition to the artists, philosophers, explorers, and inventors!)

What happened?!
I didn't say you lived in a fantasy land but in a different better situation.

Of course programmers can read code and understand the atoms but can they decipher a big system? Even 12 year old children can read English but what is their understanding of something complex written in English? In my experience, I've often run into peers who are not good at diving into systems. IE to clarify and try to get on the same page. I'm contending that the OP was talking about reverse engineering and I feel like a lot of developers are better at engineering than reverse engineering.
Nothing's wrong, it just gives much more than needed to serve a static site!

I like the idea to statically pre-generate entire HTTP responses, with all headers, and just serve a byte stream mindlessly once a URL is mapped. If TLS is handled by a separate proxy (that only does TLS termination), the "web server" becomes as trivial as it gets. Fast, simple, due to the simplicity probably bulletproof.

There isn’t a jurisdiction on the planet that would reject a contract clause that the person hired to do a job cannot covertly outsource the work by providing their credentials to a third party. That’d likely be breaking multiple clauses of any sane contracting agreement.
It's only a short period of the day, 4-9, where there are constraints on these hot days. Other times of day there's ample capacity.

And car charging is a great sort of grid demand, because it's easily shiftable to other time periods. Most cars are parked nearly all the time.

And as car companies become more enlightened and allow vehicle to grid, scenarios like this will vanish. It wouldn't take a large fraction of cars in a V2G program to eliminate the problems here, especially since cars are so close to the load, which also helps with transmission and distribution. 1 million cars would be 5-10GW, completely eliminating any worries for this week.

And this is without the many GW of grid storage that is due to go online, but temporarily delayed because of COVID pandemic related parts delays.
Still complete speculation, you need far more than bits of an interview analyzed by a popular GM for viewership to accuse someone in a professional OTB game in the legendary Sinquefield Cup.

You need real evidence of cheating. What concerns me is that we won't know the truth as GothamChess said. I am onboard with condemning Hans in the strongest terms if he was caught cheating in OTB game, this just seems like the Boston Bombers vigilante mob doing pscyhoanalysis on reddit and twitter. Terrible.
I read the comment a few times and don't see an angle for radicalization.

I feel like trading spaces every month or so with a different employee for a brief period of time would be a really, really positive exercise. If you could arrange it so you can mitigate business disruptions while people fumble around (maybe do whatever is typically done with new hires), I have a feeling the mutual appreciation for what other people contribute would lead to better cooperation.

I know there are lots of TV shows and movies about this, so it’s not a novel idea or anything, and I understand the potential for it to backfire, but I can’t overstate the cooperative benefits of gratitude if you really understand and appreciate what it is everyone is contributing.

You are totally allowed to subjectively enjoy something that is objectively bad.

The employee / contractor thing may be a violation of IRS regulations (depends on a lot of factors). Lying to obtain a contract, and lying about who is doing the work and who has access to any sensitive materials related to the work is straight up fraud, so I wouldn’t want to get into a legal pissing match over it.

"You've just made 5 people uncomfortable".

I agree. It’s not the best choice probably but it’s what I have. I’m a dual sport fan, enjoying trail rides. There’s definitely better grocery getters.

I did have a Yamaha moped years ago and it is surprising how much fits under those seats. They’re just so slippery on rocks and sand due to the small wheels on scooters. I remember taking a spill going around a corner just on pavement a couple times.
Well in that case it's not a static site any more.
The original commenter didn't say what happened as a result, just that he caught the contractor subbing out work.

If it were me, I would not renew a contract with someone who sub-contracted work out to someone I don't know and didn't approve without informing me. Whether it is or not, it certainly seems shady, and I don't want to work with people who have violated my trust.

When I was a contractor, our clients usually had a number of clauses in the contract that would have allowed them to end the engagement early for pulling something like that.

And, of course, in the end they could always just have said "go to hell, we're not working with you anymore," and it would come down to who wants to go to court the least.

No one can speak up, your identity is not the reason for backlash, people use identity as the first attack vector or reason to dismiss an opinion that they don't like.

Social media is broken - having a fight on the street has real world consequences, having a fight online has none. Many people use fighting online to a proxy to assert their status they can't achieve in the real world.

That being said, Free speech and other base rights like privacy, association are activity being reduced in most countries. Take free speech for example once you remove actually hateful people you encounter less of those people, so the extreme things you do see become the new vile, and so on until no one can speak without being labeled some proxy for a reason you should not listen to them.

While I have no idea what kiwifarm or whatever is, blocking those already loney people is just going to make them express themselves through violence.

Good title. Reflects the content of the (22 year old) article.

But it also reflects why the RTO struggle is a huge struggle. Employees controlled their environment for 2-3 years. Happiness, by Joel's metric.

But managers and CxO's happiness derives from controlling employees.

Hence the conflict
During the Second World War, the Allies raced to create the atomic bomb to defeat the Nazis and the Axis powers that stood by them. After all, who would be against destroying Nazis? After the war, though, the secret of atomic weapons was known and more and more states became able to create them, leaving the world in danger of annihilation.

While I agree with what has been said about the vileness of Kiwifarms, you who now celebrate a way to suppress speech you disagree with seem to somehow fail to understand that you are falling into the same trap. Now that it is accepted that "corporations do not have to serve customers they don't want to", the wealthy and the politically powerful will seek to take advantage of the loophole and they have persistence, time horizon, and clout to make it happen. Who is to say that Cloudflare and the other tech companies will be owned by people aligned with your interests fifty or one hundred years from now? And when they get that control, it will be your websites that will go dark, your beliefs declared "inappropriate", your adherents who are denied service.

Remember, when you build a muzzle, it fits on anyone, even you who created it. When the muzzle slips over your face, what will you say then in repentance to those of us who tried to warn you?
