Despite a few assertions lacking substance, the article still brings to the table interesting insights about pipeline maintenance. Since we are at making guesses, here is mine. A real accident on NS1, which was indeed under maintenance. After a few hours of discussions, russians decide to sabotage NS2 it order to make the event look like an act of war.

The thing is, they only need to do it once in all those billions of years, and they become a totally different species. And that's assuming they'll still be fond of organic bodies and not decide to live in simulated environments that are much easier to move than planets.
Yes. I have not tried using a different gmail address. I am not sure if they have my SSN on record or not, it was a long time ago, I don't remember what information I gave them but I did use my real name.
> Outside of a big city, single family homes are more popular because people almost unanimously want to live in them.

This desire isn't, like, innate to the human condition, though. It's the outcome of a long history of social, cultural, and economic policy. What people want is generally nurture, not nature.

Detached housing increases mean distance between households. This increase leads to increased need for longer roads more infrastructure etc. This is the obvious. What is not obvious is the social impact of this.

As a kid I was able to walk and bike into school. The independence was great and I had lots of adventures on the way home with my friends on the way back from school. Only when we moved to a single family home further away from school I had to rely on the bus that only came once an hour and even more infrequent when its later in the afternoon, I saw my friends less.

This just a stupid anecdote of mine but I do see the pattern: people that live further away, see each other less and do less together. I can walk 5 min to the subway station and be at the front door of any circa 1.5m people in my city within 30 minutes. Not possible with detached housing. Subways only make sense in somewhat denser environments.

This all before talking about energy efficiency. Since I have other tenants left and right of me, I basically don't didn't even need to turn the heating on that much last winter.

Also I can walk to the corner of the city block and get fresh and warm bread from my favorite bakery. It's also right opposite of a very good pizza place. Not possible in suburbia.

If I wanna see some green and meet friends to play volleyball or a picnic I go to the public park instead of my private garden. The park is maintained by professional landscapers and gardeners, I wouldn't even have the time to care about my own garden.

I would suffer horribly in detached home suburbia and also have a far larger environmental footprint, so why do it?
Except that in North America (N. Dakota) I can own guns and kick people off my land myself.

I've seen widgets on the bottom of Google search home page. I used uBlock to hide them.
Oh i thought you were curious, to test my theory with people on the left and right that are fighting now over it what they used to say. I looked at Krugman because he's a major figure on the left saying we aren't (or weren't 2 months ago) in a recession https://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/2022/07/29/paul-...

I just looked and National Review even wrote this on the subject at the time - https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/recession-are-we-there... so maybe I need a better representative for the right and left to measure intellectual consistency.

IDK I'm not that interested in finding partisan hacks in the online debate on the subject. I will say just looking around, observing metrics and being told this isn't a recession the country is going through right now seems absurd.
> Spyware is defined (Google) as "a form of malware that hides on your device, monitors your activity, and steals sensitive information like bank details and passwords." Please furnish any example of Microsoft stealing sensitive information like bank details and passwords via VSCode.

Well, yes, of course Google would say that. If you ask DuckDuckGo to define spyware, it offers these:

> Software that secretly gathers information about a person or organization.

> programs that surreptitiously monitor and report the actions of a computer user.

Which of course is exactly what VSC does.
Looking back on my comment, I feel like I should have clarified that I primarily disagree with the education aspect. Mainly because "education" is thrown around as a nebulous deficiency that implies other regulation/intervention will become unnecessary once people are taught how to eat properly. I agree with you that the causes need to be addressed, and it looks like the way to do that is through regulation of ingredients, additives, and advertising. But truth be told, I do not know what specifically those regulations should be.
Build up my savings to the point where I can live comfortably for 2+ years without a paycheck, or 4+ on a tight budget.

DCA into ETFs with the leftovers.

Buy a little bit more non-perishable food than I need every time I go to the store. Extra bag of beans and rice here and there. Also eating unhealthier than usual since I figure if there's a food shortage or energy shortage during the winter I'd rather be 15lbs overweight.

Continue to learn skills that I think will be valuable in the future/will get me ahead of the average person in my field. I was a child in 2008 so I have never experienced a bad labor market, but I figure I just need to be more employable than average (if I am mistaken then that's what the 2+ years of savings are for). There is always money to be made and people will want to hire those with skills that can make them money. If tech is in a bubble then just being able to make CRUD apps wont land six figure salaries anymore. I'll need a good reason for someone to hire me.

That one is a mixed bag. There are clearly areas where it is falling - SF, Austin, Boise, a few regions like W Florida... but there are regions where it simply is not (the northeast in particular).

I'd love for that to fall. And let's not talk about rents.
"Derivative work" doesn't mean "a work made with knowledge of another work". WP explains, "In copyright law, a derivative work is an expressive creation that includes major copyrightable elements of an original, previously created first work (the underlying work)." Canonical examples include translations into another language, dramatizations of novels, or phonorecords of sheet music.

Algorithms, being purely functional, are not copyrightable in any country that I know of. So a new implementation that uses the same algorithm as the original, but without copying any of its non-functional aspects, is not a derivative work of the original and does not infringe its copyright.

Cleanroom reimplementation is a defense against allegations of copying, because under, for example, US copyright law, access plus substantial similarity is sufficient to show copying. The "He's So Fine" lawsuit is one of the most extreme examples of this doctrine. Cleanroom reimplementations are a defense against copying by eliminating the access element. But copying the functional aspects of a program does not meet the "substantial similarity" bar.

Of all the places I've lived in and visited, Montreal was the only place so far where random people on the street had a problem with me, based on the way I look - got this way around the time the current government was elected. However, one thing to remember with rents is that the city mandates the percent of allowed rent increases plus it's nearly impossible to evict someone, which I suspect has a non trivial effect on rents.
Networked devices make a lot of sense even in the home - my Home Assistant is pretty damn useful. The problem is the 'internet' part. I'm moving everything to the local network, but it's getting increasingly more difficult. To the point that I'm avoiding wifi devices (in favor of zigbee and possibly bluetooth).
Dall-E 2 does something great: Show prompts and examples of images that those prompts generate. This educates your consumer to be able to get more of what they want while they wait. It kind of tickles the desire for mastery.
Without nit picking too much, one side has a dictator for life type rolling tanks into their peaceful neighbours, running torture chambers, butchering thousands of civilians, doing mass deportations etc. and the other is mostly peaceful run by a Jewish former comedian elected democratically. Which of those sounds more like the old Hitler Nazis?

I don't think details like - oh they changed some street name, really changes that.
That isn't the main return for me. It is knowing that you have contributed to the community corpus of knowledge that is almost impossible to come otherwise. For instance I had the to visit a data centre that I had previously been to but was under a new owner. The pin had Equinix but not the site code. Once I confirmed it, I submitted the edit for it to become Equinix SY6. It apparently has since been used thousands of times.

I also enjoy adding a food shot or a representative photo of places I have enjoyed as a small reward and enticement for others to do likewise.

yes miners have an incentive to protect the network. Essentially they are providing a service.

That's the whole point, Bitcoin is a closed system and because people are inherently greedy that greed is used to benefit the greater good.

If bitcoin was over provisioned then miners would capitulate. Which actually does happen from time to time.

Also you make an assumption that miners are only providing service per transaction. This assumption is wrong. Due to how merkle tree's work bitcoin makes it expensive to add blocks to the tree but cheap to verify the whole tree. Each new block protects and verifies all previous blocks and transactions.
How Well Did Knight Rider Predict Autonomous Vehicles?
The president was aware of the interventions in those countries and gave approval (if you remember the nicragua/contras scandal with raegan for example). I would like to think he is also briefed on their data collection but if they are like the NSA they went through DoJ for approval on any domestic collections but if they didn't they can be prosecutes and if they are not being prosecutes then blame your president who appointed and can fire the attorney general and the senators who approves the nomination. The only scenario voters are not responsible is if there is a "deep state" that operates outside of the democratic process and checks+balances.
Great question!

I led the design of Ockam. I am somewhat familiar with Wiregaurd and not at all familiar with OpenZiti. All tools that are helping us build application that have much much smaller vulnerability surfaces are awesome!!

Some things that you can do with Ockam:

1. Create Noise based secure channels all sorts of multi-hop, multi-protocol, network topologies - TCP <> TCP, or TCP <> TCP <> TCP, or UDP <> Kafka <> TCP, or BlueTooth <> TCP <> TCP etc.

2. Move end-to-end encrypted data through Kafka, RabbitMQ, and other messaging and streaming systems.

3. Run on small embedded devices (Rust no_std) or run on large servers.

5. Encrypted Relays through Ockam Orchestrator. UDP hole puncturing coming soon.

6. Store keys and run cryptography in hardware or in cloud KMS.

7. Plug into enterprise Identity Providers and Policy Providers and enforce Attribute based access control policies.

8. Operate very lightweight credential authorities

9. Scale Enrollment Protocols, Credentials rotation/revocation etc.

and more.
You only need a cryptographically secure RNG to generate a key pair. Assuming asymetric keys. That private key can then be used to sign many many JWTS.

Whereas generating new session ids will always need fresh entropy.

I would bring up all the things in this post in your advertising. Installation suitability reports about roof types. Functions without external configuration, off site monitoring, and shortened lifespan due to outdated software. The purchaser owns the equipment so not a permanent lease against the property.

Just creating awareness should drive a lot of business.

I think some variety of IOT is valuable, but it should have a web server backup that provides both html interface and raw data which does not require dedicated apps.

There should definitely be a disconnect from the grid option for the extended wind related power outages of the Northern California.
The PhD to community leader pipeline nowadays is a lot smaller. Most of them now end up being adjunct professors or something.

I’m not sure how much Latin and Church play into things (I did both growing up and it’s not much to write home about) but I think the decreasing opportunities for a rich life have more to do with the systematic de-skilling of the professional and academic middle class. Society can not countenance regular individuals with that much leverage and influence so it does everything in its power to reduce engineers, teachers, etc to cogs in a machine

I've been a Neovim user since inception -- I love the sane default configuration, the pruning away of old and obsolete "compatible" mode things, and the async and terminal support were killer features. When LSP support landed I was pretty firmly set.

I hate Lua, though, and more and more of the neovim ecosystem is moving in that direction. And now that vim has caught up on the async and terminal and LSP support I'm finding it hard to justify staying on neovim, except for the burden of sane-ifying my configuration.

VimL9 looks fantastic though -- VimScript has always been awkward but very domain-specific; VimL9 moves away from awkwardness but keeps the domain-specificity. Lua is not domain-specific enough, and the debugging and documentation are not good enough for me to pick it up in a pinch.

I think it's likely that I'll be making the switch back to vim9 in the near future, although I'll probably give Kakoune a try again before committing.

Not that this matters as much, but I'd like to point out that even if this is the case that the money is returned to advertisers, Google may still reap non-trivial benefits from this chain of events in at least these ways.

> Depending on the amount and length of time the money is held, this might add up to a substantial dollar value in interest payments they're making by holding onto the cash. The interest generated by temporarily holding $80 here and $400 there times thousands and thousands of users, held for a while, could be a non-trivial amount of cash in a long timeframe.

> Google simultaneously screws over advertisers (garbage and/or fraud clicks) at the same time as they sometimes give away these freebie clicks (unpaid kids' clicks) back to their advertisers. Now think about advertisers' perceptions of Google for their business. It can be argued that Google is essentially banking on the goodwill from the kids' ad clicks being returned (giving the advertisers a freebie) to makeup for however much they piss off advertisers for the garbage fraud clicks that they receive. If Google can bank on "stealing" some percentage of clicks constantly, that might be enough for them to partially make up just enough for the bad clicks they send their advertisers. That could arguably materially impact their business prospects.
My VPN provider (Mullvad) doesn't have my full name, address, and social security number. They could build a profile off my account number, sure, so I have to trust that they're not. If they actually aren't, fantastic, I win. If they actually are, I still win, because they have less data to build a profile on me from. I know for certain that my ISP is selling my data, so I'm certainly no worse off.

On top of that, I get the benefit of not being tracked everywhere on the web. Or if they are tracking me, they have bogus data. And I can set my exit server to a jurisdiction with more user-friendly privacy laws.

Many new things come along with a narrative that they are going to "democratize" some industry and "stick it to the man". It's a compelling story. It never ends up that way.

Linux: democratizing Unix, sticking to Sun/IBM/Microsoft... now totally captured by big tech.

The web (1.0, blogging): democratizing publishing + the media, everyone can self publish, sticking it to the news media, book publishers, peer reviewed journals with "gatekeepers"... now totally dominated by a handful of mega sites, with much more and worse gatekeeping than print ever had.

bitcoin: sticking it to banks and wall street... totally captured by a handful of entities with massive conflicts of interest.

airbnb: sticking it to hotels and city planners, can stay in trendy neighborhoods instead of homogenous hotel rooms and help real people pay their rent... totally dominated by professional hosts who have exploited and destroyed the neighborhoods around them.

spotify: cool indie bands sticking it to those record labels...

youtube: ...

etsy: ....

There are inevitable market forces, economies of scale and consolidation at work, so spare me the "democratizing" narrative of these "movements", it always ends up as a winner takes all, or an oligopoly at best.
