If someone is the leader of a mafia and it is known without a doubt and you know their location you should call the police not put it in the news. What does "government leader" means? what does "anyone in a position of power" actually means? Especially in the era of twitter and immense followings from people that are just regulars and not some ultra-rich celebrities.

Man it really didn't take long for people to forget things like the CNN reddit kid dox or even more recent the twitter account from tiktok dox by journalists active still today.

That's an achievement just as much as starting the next bottle of bourbon after finishing the first one is an achievement. There is happiness hiding in that SECOND bottle/billion.
> the firefighters will just stop serving said target

I saw a good analogy the other day [1]. Cloudflare is a bartender throwing out a brawler. They called the cops, but nobody is arrested. And while yes, brawling on the streets may be riskier than brawling inside, it’s extreme to insist the brawler be sheltered because their right to brawl overrides others’ physical safety.

i would consider it credible when people show up at your house, for one.
I agree - you have the right to not go some place where you don't want to be.

You do not have the right to convince a fire department to stop protecting a house so you can burn it down in peace.

To think this situation is anything BUT that is pure hypocrisy.
Just to counter the usual tone of threads like this, I'll say that I'm super happy having finally jumped the ship and bought an used "real dock" (ie not another hub from Aliexpress) from Dell - one single cable and I get the Macbook charging, wired ethernet, my usb peripherals and 4k 60hz display.

But then I'm from the time of parallel-port printers and dial-up internet, so maybe my bar is lower...

Mangroves can handle salt water. The issue is that they aren't actually free-floating forests out in the ocean, which is what GP would need for their idea.
It doesn't account for replacing the engine on the ICE car either, which has about the same schedule as an EV battery.

I spent 5-10 minutes of my life every week keeping my last ICE vehicle fueled. I spend 15 seconds a day keeping my EV topped off. I've saved so much time not having to go to the gas station that I still come out waaaaay ahead even if I have to stop for 20-30 minutes to recharge on my road trip.
"Free speech" is a bit of a misnomer. The valuable thing is the freedom to hear, not the freedom to speak.

With a DDOS the goal is to prevent people from reading someone's words. With harassment the goal is to prevent people hearing the targets future words.

Both are forms of censorship.
There's a lot of details missing from your question I think. I tried doing some brief research for you because the question sounds interesting, but without knowing information that would narrow down the quality of the remote or the plane, it's too difficult to guess what your next steps are.
I wasn't aware of it, thanks. I'm not it's exactly what I want though. Can it easily start and stop daemons? Can it assign different ports to different versions?
> Okay, but there is no "concentrated power". You are just as free as anyone else to host KF.

We're not talking about hosting KF. There's lots of hosts. And Cloudflare was not hosting KF, but instead providing DDoS protection services.

But there's approximately 2-3 services that can reject DDoS at high scale. Or maybe slightly more. This is right at the threshold of concern.

Here, I think the decision that was made was a good one, but at the same time a very small number of unaccountable parties making this kind of determination is worrying.
The reversed relationship however, is strong: maths benefits programming learning immensely.
It's only a drone if it can demonstrate stable flight by itself.

Sadly, the remote control chapter is not (yet) there, and the self-flying drone capabilities are only briefly mentioned in the intro.

I suppose that for a real self-flying capability, a model plane would need at least a 3-axis accelerometer, a speed sensor, a height sensor (or at least a ground proximity sensor), and a controller to make sense of all of the data. That part is going to be a bit less cheap and trivial.

Intent - mens rea in the law - is not about the intent to [commit insert crime here]. It is about the intent to do the thing that resulted in the crime. That is why if you get blackout drunk and drive through a crowd of kids, you get charged with manslaughter: you didn't intend to kill those kids, but you intended to get blackout drunk and drive, which resulted in the death of the kids.

Facebook absolutely would have criminal intent the same way kiwifarms would - in both cases, they intended to serve content from their users.
Thats right - the fire departments should just stop protecting the houses of people you dislike so folks can burn them down in peace.
> Is this seriously an issue compared to trash in general?

No it’s not an issue that’s my point. What people sort is rarely recycled anyway. That’s why it’s a shame.

> But every kilowatt that you don't consume is a kilowatt that's not being generated by the electric grid.

Yes but what individual consumes is far less relevant than how this electricity is produced especially when you compare domestic consumption to industrial consumption. It’s far more impactful to lobby for the end of coal power plants than switch off your electronic.

> see above, also electric cars.

Yes, it’s finally coming quite slowly but for decades oil was heavily subsidised.

> Well the goods you buy has to be manufactured somewhere, so presumably you're against the shipping rather than the manufacturing aspect.

I’m not against anything. There are huge gain to be made in both shipping and manufacturing. Investments are far too low because they are not mandated.

That’s my point. The most significant gains are at an institutional or corporate level. Most of the debate surrounding individual behaviour is a distraction.
Yes, but more like power than energy. The main problem is that energy can't really be stored, so energy cannot be saved like money can (sort of). So it is really power that money buys, not energy, and only supposing power is available.

This is yet another reason that proof-of-work schemes are a disaster for society: they waste its most precious material asset!
You want to play Russian roulette on nuclear weapons? Are you listening to yourself right now?
Scheme is geared towards two things: research and teaching. It's a lingua franca for demonstrating implementations of new CS concepts in ways that members of the community understand. Being easy to implement from scratch is a must for both uses cases. Being a less imperative language also makes Scheme closer to the math.
Did they commit violence or make any attempt on her life when they were there? Seems like a pretty good time to do it to me if they had intended to do so.
I believe the main reason is that it makes fun of newspeak used by russian propaganda. Newspeak started long before the war.

Explosions are called "claps", plane crashes are "rough landings", decline is "negative growth", flood is "waterlogging", etc.

It's hard to sell the idea of being greatest country in the world if buildings are exploding due to gas leaks. But if there are a few "claps" here and there, noone bats an eye. That's the idea at least.
Assuming we could solve the issues around wells (that now are frequently are deep enough to tap into the aquifer) that solution would also likely cause massive and probably violent resistance. Now one might argue that the situation will inevitably cause massive change and cause a lot of pain. The political will to do anything active that causes such uproar is totally missing though. I think an apt comparison is a version of the trolly problem where you do nothing and kill 5 people or you move the lever, kill only 1 person, but also open yourself up to massive hatred and potentially a civil-war-like situation because you took an active measure.
Rather than blocking reviews, how hard would it be for a company like Amazon to release some anonymized data about these alleged review bombing incidents and allow independent researchers to make their own analysis on whether or not these are genuine reviews or not?

There's a big moral hazard here in that it's trivial for a big corporation to make claims that cannot be verified. Are we supposed to just trust them?
So? He had a multitude of health issues. People with a multitude of health issues sometimes die. And that report is obviously garbage--it refers to the "police report" of why he died. Nope, the police don't determine why someone died--they're only reporting what a medical examiner said. Why should Pfizer question it? Your link is clearly to a dishonest site.
> expect fewer price spikes.

No. But depending on what you're replacing with how much capacity, you can get cheaper electricity on average (for example removing coal). And the nuclear exit in europe, apart from germany, happened (and is happening) more to the lack of replacement capacity than expectation of direct replacement by renewables. In germany, the exit was more-or-less driven by fear. New NPPs are really (and I mean really) expensive and there is little expectation that with conventional NPP that can significantly change.

And stability & price are not the same.

> Ya'll better get busy building those nuke plants like NOW.

Have you looked at construction times in Western Countries, even pro-nuclear ones like france? That's like the worst idea. It'd take at least 20 years with conventional technology. Modular reactors aren't ready right now (and I'd be surprised if they solved the issues that are leading to the reduction in nuclear generation we're seeing around the world, but that question doesn't have a firm answer yet).

The solution is building out renewables and investing in storage. Hydrogen and P2G both don't have any fundamental difficulties, the will to implement them on a large scale just isn't there right now. Even regular electrochemical cells should be doable if needed. Due to wind turbines producing more in winter, you only have to bridge the normal day-night cycle and low-wind periods in winter across the EU.

We'd already be in a better position if we'd have invested more in electrifying stuff, since that usually improves the efficiency (even end-to-end when looking at gas power plants).
Each person already intuits how much "too much" is. How else would anyone know when they're "full"?
Your point about childhood really struck a warm note with me. I feel one of the most important and loving things my parents did for me as a child was ensuring a limitless supply of stationery.
If Reddit were materialists to that degree then they wouldn't have banned popular gore subs.

It's more likely the sub taps into a vein of black culture that happens to be interwoven with some violence, and Reddit tolerates it because they don't want to be seen as trampling out anything to do with black culture.

Now if there were a sub dedicated to a popular genre of exclusively white musicians who occasionally livestream themselves murdering their white "opps," Reddit would ban it in a heartbeat under their "glorifying violence" ToS policy
Code comments are incredibly handy when doing code archeology, where your looking to understand the intent behind the code from 10 years ago, rather than treating the code as is as correct.

We should be consistent and non-arbitrary. There’s so many more examples.
It's good to remember how starved for resources some places are.

It's bad to take that resource starvation as the only/primary cause of poverty. The example I like using is that the life expectancy in counties in Alabama has been less than that in Bangladesh for a while. Here, individual's lack of access to resources which exist in the area is more the issue.

"...at its fundamental level, the model is built on the concept of a geodesic distance, which belongs to geometry. At its phenomenological level, the theory takes as the input parameters geometrical (mechanical) characteristics of a thermal system, the (average) inter-atomic distance and the velocity of sound in condensed matter, and gives as the output an observable quantity, specific heat function. It is reasonable then to call it a geometrical theory, after all geometry is physics."
Hmm, that's not premature optimization, that's lacking diagnostic skill problem.
Perhaps a better understood paraphrase: Never guess at performance, and don’t measure for performance until the application works.
Announcing a target is easy, hitting is hard. Especially when the costs of input materials to build batteries increase 4x in a year: https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/lithium

Except once you get one person who belong to such a group (by any conventional means) or even have one informant, then you can see where they hang out on discord (and there won't be a million of channels to scan) and now you have access to a nice topology of discord use for organized crime.

Absolutely! I suspect it would also alleviate a couple of headscratchers like where you spelled out "underscore" when setting a breakpoint.
Sure - I don't think that changes my point though. And I have some sympathy for the argument that there may be some changes we shouldn't rush into without understanding them better (e.g. Sri Lanka's experiment with organic farming), or until we have better/cheaper technology available - what we should be doing now is a lot more research into mitigation and adaptation options.
It’s not a planned central economy. It is self-reliant local communities within regional bounds, like a fault-tolerant distributed system. They would trade primarily with adjacent regions stuff that they don’t or can’t produce locally. Knowledge, information and education should flow freely everywhere, enabling peace. People should feel comfortable living in their birthplace and should have no motivation for economic migration.

This is 19th century zeitgeist.

It failed to recognize fulfillment of human needs as an evolutionary process.
"Waste and duplication" -- trial and error -- is necessary. You can't design for what you haven't discovered.

> You can decrease the energy consumption significantly without affecting the quality of life in case of adopting a new political philosophy

Does it involve telling people what constitutes "quality of life?" Why does this "new" political (in fact: economic) philosophy so often devastate so many lives?

Even if you presume to run human civilization as an ant colony (How dare you?), even with honest intentions, centralization is a bad idea. It lets you pretend you're making informed decisions based on a complete model, and not just running an experiment with global risk.

Not a high enough bar to decide whether someone should gain benefit of society

>> In no way

That seems like a catastrophic hole in your boat then? I can have lots of wealth - and so by your idea qualify for all the benefits society has to offer - yet having contributed less than the bum did before he fell out of a productive path in life.

There’s too many holes in the idea that wealth can be used even as a rough proxy. Pick any low productivity roles with high value in society, from pastors / chaplains to a family carer. These are high value to society but they’re economic drains.
While the cases in the article use discord/telegram, it does not mean the dark web does not have this. And I am sure it will have in the future. Ananymous communication and payment tech create a possibility for such market. And the possibility combined with demand will inevitably turn into reality.

Anyone interested in this should also check out Rudy Rucker & John Walker’s work on cellular automata [1]. These guys were obsessed with ants, hence ‘fourmi’ labs, fourmi meaning ‘ant’ in French.

Both of these guys have done incredible things. Rucker wrote the Ware tetralogy and Walker owned/engineered AutoCAD.

Rucker also wrote ‘The Hacker and the Ants’ where the protagonist (basically Rudy himself) takes on a virus which manifests as a virtual ant. Really quirky story, well worth reading.

Let me guess what your alternative proposal is: everyone should live how you want them to live.

Thanks but no thanks. Even ignoring the untold riches & quality of life improvements that free market capitalism has produced, it's just a more free and thus moral system.

Edit: also you don't need to be a philosopher or genius to see that. Pretty much everyone moving out of free Western societies is rich or getting rich (e.g. paid well tax free in Dubai), and most of them keep a backup plan (Western citizenship to be able to come back).
Whatever any of the fanbois will tell you, no OS or machine is perfect!

I also put a fair amount of time into tuning my build systems to be efficient, which can help with the kind of (very real) problem you mention.

An unexpectedly nice feature of my MBA M1 is no fan noise at any time. I long ago switched all my other machines to fanless, eg so that they could run overnight quietly, but my laptop never making fan noises is good!

No one’s saying they are. But Cloudflare enjoys a virtual monopoly on affordable and reliable DDoS protection, and that is a very unhealthy thing for the open Internet. If you operate an online business and your comptetitors can somehow convince Cloudflare to drop you, they can have you taken offline, permanently, by paying a pittance to have you DDoS'ed.
Yes, its not genuine to say Eth has 400,000 validators as many of them are the same entity.

It's a similar story for nodes as well. A ton of the reported nodes are actually running on AWS and ultimately its a fairly worthless metric.

For a while the crypto community valued node count as a meaningful number for measuring decentralization, and naturally from that moment forward people have been fully shameless about running hundreds (at some points in history tens of thousands) of nodes just to boost metrics.
Much less than in summer. Luckily wind turbines generate more during winter.
The number of test subjects isn't small, but the number that have something bad happen is small (they're not going to accept test subjects with obvious, serious problems because that makes the data noisier.) Reducing noise means increasing the sample size--to get clean data here you would need a truly huge test group. I wouldn't be surprised if you would have to use the whole nation as your test group--and what's the point??
There is continued concern that USDT is still being used to manipulate the crypto space. Seems a valid concern.

Why not other metrics? For example why exclude LGBT people despite centuries of oppression and extermination in every aspect of life at all levels of society, continuing as we speak?

Probably because overwhelmingly straight people made this law. But only certain biases get special treatment. This is a problem with these kinds of rules privileging certain groups in the name of equality. Inevitably other groups who deserve ‘reparation’ will ask, why not me too?
