I am for 100% open borders, I acknowledge asylum seekers are allowed in the country, and I agree your statement they are doing what many of us would do. I see nothing ethically wrong with what they're doing.

That said, anyone who doesn't understand the undertone here, that the great majority will be denied asylum, that a great number are claiming asylum in a way that is coached/contrived/embellished, or that they couldn't have stopped and claimed asylum in another nation along the way (such as Mexico) is just completely naive. A great number of poeple here are game the system. That's fine, whatever, fuck borders, I'm on board. But I'm gonna call a spade a spade. A great number are here to play the system, often with lies, and the idea that all these people are 'acting lawfully' is not only factually incorrect I assert you KNOW it is factually incorrect and use it here as propaganda. In fact it is not lawful to lie to federal authorities in your asylum claim, but many are doing it.

These are the things many of us know, but aren't supposed to say out loud in some polite circles.

I applaud their efforts, but I aint no fool.
Warp/1.1.1.1[0] is a product, not a VPN, despite the fact that it tunnels your traffic. Even after the IP address change, the current documentation and promotions for Warp do not call it a VPN. It was never meant to keep your IP hidden from the websites you visit.

0: https://1.1.1.1/
> I'm afraid the software might even have some kind of countdown where the system will stop working when it hasn't been connected to the internet after a certain amount of time.

Or, just an automatic firmware "update." Most are made in a country that we are not currently on very good terms with. No, I don't trust any that require internet access, or an "account" of some sort to activate it.
Thanks for all work you all are doing.

It's about time that GPU virtualization was commoditized. Looking forward to more. NVIDIA can get wrecked for all I care.
I've a firm opinion on that and it doesn't follow the usual orthodoxy (that's if anyone's counting). It's off-topic so I'll only add that they were all despicable ratbags that the world could have done well without.
No, I don't think any method of direct or indirect questioning is bad in this context, while you have a problem with both a roundabout and a direct critique of someone's employment choice, be it Meta or Amazon. You said it yourself that I should be direct in my critique so that I hopefully get deplatformed.

Find a less harmful employer instead of projecting your insecurities into someone's question, and trying to silence critique of any kind to ease your conscience.
Empirical evidence isn't necessary for politicians to make decisions. This has been true since the time of the Greeks and applies to every politician in every party, without exception.
> As someone who operated on the "adult internet" with payment processors and related infrastructure without being 18, I still carry forward the constant fear that I'll be banned for retroactive Terms of Service violations incurred when I was a kid. It really sucks when it's services like AdSense because you're just screwed forever.

The thing is, most parents wouldn't even think "Oh, you'll need to do that in my name." when their kid says they want to build some website and put ads on it. They just think "Oh that's cute, we'll figure out the money stuff later."
I wish people showed more grace to young people.

Another example along your lines: many were quick to declare that the chess player Hans Niemann ought to be banned from the sport because he admitted to cheating at online no-stakes chess games when he was 16. He is accused (without evidence) of cheating again, and people are latching on to the "once a cheater, always a cheater" mentality.
It's probably not the fingerprinting you're thinking of.

More likely it's the Live Scan system, which is a thorough background check that touches with DOJ and others, etc. It does include finger/palm scanning but also much more.

Think of it like a very thorough background check.

If you have a criminal background, ever been in trouble, or have known criminal associates, it'll turn up on the Live Scan.

So yes, the real reason is probably anti-prostitution and anti-sex trafficking - and they probably don't hide that fact I would imagine.
I agree. I think a “watch it” flag could be more useful than a downvote.

Most comments are useful in one way or another, even if they are disagreeable. It’s rare to really see anything terribly egregious—-but then again, it’s hard to know how much is going on behind the scenes to stop that from happening.
I'm pretty sure all these devices or apps on those devices configure their own DNS servers these days.
I doubt the USA cares very much about just Germany (and I live in Berlin), but whoever did this pissed off basically all the EU, and I think the USA does care about not pissing off the EU collectivity.

(For scale, I doubt any nation other than the USA itself cares about pissing off the state of Florida, while almost every nation cares about not pissing off the USA collectivity).
He’s correct.

The bubble caused by a decade of easy money started to burst last year.

Go look at a stock chart from the last 1Y and you’ll see that the sky has started to fall, and had been falling from just after 1Y and has a long long way to go.

Until inflation is under control and fed tightening stops, housing, equities, and bonds will continue to fall in price. This week almost saw a catastrophic run on the pound and UK gilts and US bonds are flashing warning signs.

The crash started last year and continues with mathematical certainty until the fed pivots.
I wasn't there but my parents were and I also haven't heard of any of this. With most "life under communism" stories I'm sure it's a broad generalization that might've applied in a few localities but varied widely
I love how Microsoft and Google threads ending with "This question is locked and replying has been disabled."

Cowards.
The easiest thing to do for such cases is to add a note, perhaps with a picture of the building if you're comfortable.

There must be folk who dedicate their time to searching the OSM database for unresolved notes, because whenever I leave a note on StreetComplete mentioning an inaccuracy (e.g: a path where there isn't actually one, a driveway marked incorrectly as a road, etc.) I get an email alert a few days later notifying me that the note has been resolved - often by someone who lives in an entirely different country (and who can use the information I provide in the note plus the satellite imagery to resolve the note).
Word actually supports automatic hyphenation, but you have to turn it on (it’s a property of paragraph styles IIRC).
I tried to use Helix and really liked it, but had to stick with Neovim because of Copilot.
I don't, no.

LuaJIT uses a bit library, while Lua 5.3 and up have the native bitwise operators. I prefer the former.
While I agree with the sentiment that ultimately we have to have some level of trust somewhere on the stack, there are a few minor differences.

In theory anyway, I pick my ISP. If this was "support for using a VPN" instead of "we're injecting OUR VPN" I would feel a lot better.

I'm aware Im using my ISP. Even someone who doesn't know much about computers knows their traffic is going somewhere. They might not know the repercussions of that, but if this is just transparently on in the background, effectively a keylogger, a user might never know this is happening.

I give my ISP money. Back to the choice option. Some ISPs are bad and are trying to nickel and dime you to maximize profits. Some ISPs are actually good (I'm not swiss so I don't know for sure, but Init7 looks amazing https://www.init7.net/en/support/faq/privatsphaere/). I don't have to question with my ISP "how are they profiting off of me" because I give them money every month. They might be, but they don't intrinsically NEED to be scraping my data. I am not sure how Microsoft benefits from giving me a free VPN unless they are scraping my data.

I can use a VPN to bypass my ISP monitoring if they do monitor. I have no idea how Microsoft's stuff is set up here. If the end result is that it gets routed through their VPN after my VPN, or instead of my VPN, or even through their stuff at all, but with stamped metadata, then there's not necessarily a great way to get around it other than "don't use Edge"

In general, yes, your ISP isn't your friend. But an ISP is something I asked for, have a use for, and need. A Microsoft stealth VPN is none of those things.
A text editor without a well rounded GUI story isn't worth it for me. There are all these desperate projects each with their own focus, ranging from "simple graphics acceleration" to "tons of bells and whistles, animations and ad-hoc UI extensions".

UI should be thought out at PRs and issues, but the same people who develop the main core. But they don't have to, because they're making a terminal application, which has its use cases.

But I so no reason why I should type my text in a terminal, when I can use a proper GUI application.

And I'm not even suggesting VSCode, even Emacs is better in this regard, which is what I use.
A winning move if you want to create a police state papered with guidance that can be either ignored without consequence or repealed in days.
No. More specifically, I am not interested in IoT for many or even most of the things in my home.
As pointed out in the original article, if they were trying to clear hydrate blockages without coordination with folks at the "other end" of the pipeline, it could make sense that they'd try to operate on both in the same timeframe.

The coordination of timing is still one of the biggest arguments in favor of this being sabotage, though.
>not even Microsoft can afford to maintain their own browser engine

We don't know that. Maybe Microsoft could maintain their own browser engine if Google hadn't provided one on permissive open-source licensing terms that met their needs.
dystopia does not require the government - in fact some popular fictional dystopias are when corporations can control/etc without the government intervening. So maybe just don't word police other people because you don't like their words.
It's a bit weird the FCC is ruling on this... not really a space agency... but regardless, it's a good move!
It's extremely easy to hide, invisibly, between cars with angled parking. Angled parking also shortens the gap between your front and back tires perpendicular to the street. Less light passing through means less opportunity to see shadows that shouldn't be there.
Congratulations! This looks incredibly powerful and I'm excited to check it out.

Although this is pitched primarily as a "live" query tool, it feels like we could get the most value out of combining this with our existing warehouse, ELT, and BI toolchain.

Do you see people trying to do this, and any advice on approaches? For example, do folks perform joins in the BI layer? (Notably, Looker doesn't do that well.) Or do people just do bulk queries to basically treat your plugins as a Fivetran/Stitch competitor?
Is it a bubble or a crash when not accompanied by a huge wave of abrupt layoffs and / or market losses? From where I'm sitting, the current phenomena appear slow moving and unfolding over such a long period of time, it's easily observable and unsurprising.

Maybe we just have a different definition of these terms?
You seem very angry about welfare and immigration of people without skills. We have very different opinions about what makes a country strong.

A very strong rule of thumb is that whenever a conversation gets locked, whichever side did the locking is in the wrong. The other big place this applies is GitHub issues and PR's.
It’s not for one party. The VPN protects your traffic from any party other than Cloudflare. Exactly as it would with any VPN.
I get that there are tons of implications around contract law and child labor here, but there really needs to be an escape hatch if a parent agrees to whatever activity is being done.

While it's happening, it can be done using the parent's identity. After that, the same logic that prevents a minor to commit, because limited responsability, should be applied to avoid perpetual consequences.

But as usual, companies apply draconian measures that governments can't. Some day we'll finally get that regulation that draws a line between utilities and publishers...
The new rule is 5 years after mission completion, so this already allows for a 25-year orbit (as long as you're still operating).
This is exactly what I have found! StreetComplete encourages me not only to take regular walks, but also to explore new areas local to me that I haven't previously visited (since, after a while, you need to move to a new area to find 'quests' that you haven't already completed).

I have discovered lots of places in my local area thanks to StreetComplete!
What’s the difference between snitching and reporting a crime? The severity of the crime and your relationship to the offender?
Well, I'm out of my depth. I didn't study Principia or Gödel at school, and I've never really looked into Principia. My understanding is that Principia was an effort to prove that (a) mathematics was logic; and (b) that mathematics was self-consistent. And that Gödel proved that this goal couldn't be achieved.

Is that wrong? If I've got that wrong, I have a big attitude adjustment coming down the track towards me.
> Calgary did this after the 2013 Bow river flood. They bailed out the homeowners. But if they choose to rebuild on those lots, next time they get zero. They are on their own.

If you're talking about the town of High River/the Highwood River/the Beachwood estates and Wallaceville, it was about 102 houses out of 250 eligible and a couple hundred more affected. All but 14 lots were explicitly not up for development, at any risk; Beachwood and Wallaceville are being renaturalized as a floodplain and High River's removing infrastructure. The houses that weren't destroyed, demolished, or auctioned off to be moved are still there and uninhabited.[1]

Other damaged neighborhoods that were bought out got tossed around between provincial governments for eight years until High River bought them back for redevelopment.[2] There are regulations - the Floodway Development Regulation in particular - against developing floodways, but haven't been promulgated to prevent, or even disincentivize, development.[3][4] (If they had been, parts of Fort McMurray rebuilt after the 2016 wildfires that then flooded in 2020 wouldn't have been rebuilt in the first place.)[5]

The province also wouldn't fund buyouts of other flood-risk properties downstream of High River.[6] (Indeed, the High River bailout was OVERfunded, and High River sent money back to the county in January.)[7]

Was that single topic enough of a reason to throw away all the good content he makes about other things? It's not like his opinion on the value of a vaccine requirement will make him off base in his knowledge of machining and tools.

My dad has garbage political opinions, and is generally what I would call a low information voter who is swayed more by advertising than vote record, but he's still a very talented general contractor who can build anything and knows his stuff.
The terminal is superior. You are just not skilled enough or advanced enough in thought to imagine what an interface can truly be.
>I miss when game companies didn't host their own games and you could just download the server portion and host it yourself (or rent a server)

I have hosted several servers for several games over the years but they have huge disadvantages too. One of them being that server admins can see IP addresses of players, and that leads to DDoS. Admin can also be fickle and kick players for whatever reason, had a popular server(which turned into the only server as the game got old) where the admin would kick women if they didn't respond positively to his creepy flirting.

And there is no automated matchmaking that takes balance into account.

I think for this to work, Google actually has to delete any information about you completely from its systems. I'm curious if anyone tried this with success as well.
I would not, and I think characterizing it as "dystopian digital surveillance" is disingenuous. Operators of free to play games only have so many mechanisms to make bans matter, and people behave differently if they know there are negative consequences. Overwatch has a significant toxicity problem as-is.
As implemented in lisps they typically don't use more memory than 64 bit longs. That's because fixnums (typically 61 bit signed values) are unboxed, existing in the "pointer" itself; only when numbers fall outside that range do they become bignums that must be heap allocated (and in practice almost all integers are fixnums.)
The point is the private key is on the USB gadget and stays there. It's not a dumb USB drive.
> No, NATO won't nuke Russia. The brilliance of the situtation is that Russia is so broken NATO can neutralize it using only conventional weaponry.

First of all, it does not matter to Russia if NATO uses nuclear weapons or not. If Russia is on the verge of total defeat in their own country, they will use nuclear weapons on us. They have no reason not to, and they have said that they would. So they will.

How exactly is NATO going to use conventional weapons to neutralize nuclear launch facilities buried deep under mountains and in remote parts of Siberia?

What are we going to do if a single ICBM is launched? We do not have any effective defenses against even a 1960s style ICBM, much less Russia's hypersonic ICBMs. They can be launched from anywhere on the planet, and Russia has many of them.

What if we assume that only 1/10th of them are in working order. Or even 1/1000. Many of them would still get through.

> Of course this is all not clear nor guaranteed. That's the nature of a serious war. But we have what we have, and surely attempting to make the best steps possible.

We have no right to risk hundreds of millions of lives. This was a debate that was already had in the 1960s, and thankfully people like you did not get their way.

The millions of people who risk nuclear incineration are not acceptable losses. Any leader who would casually put us in harms way like that has no business making decisions at all.

You should educate yourself about concepts like mutually assured destruction, and the nuclear triad.
I actually loved Helix, but moved from it to Neovim for performance and customizability reasons. Helix becomes unusable with multi thousand line files, but I imagine it's something that will eventually be solved as the project matures. The customizability of Neovim is incredible, and I'm looking forward to trying Helix again when it has a plugin solution

It was, but there were exceptions. It turns it that this symbol, in the Chicago font, is mapped to a control code (this is pre-Unicode; fonts were limited to 256 characters, so such creative use wasn’t considered deadly sin)

Chicago Control-Q prints propeller or clover symbol

Date Written: 7/4/90

Last reviewed: 6/14/93

How do I get the character that represents the clover used for Command-key equivalents in documents and in menus?

___

This key is documented in the Apple Style Guide, which is available on the latest Developer CD Series disc as well as from APDA. One little feature of Key Caps which is not widely known is the Control key (not the Command or Option keys). Pressing the Control key in Chicago shows that Control-Q in Chicago maps to the propeller symbol for which you search. Control-Q generates the character code 17; the standard Macintosh character set (see Inside Macintosh Volume VI, page 12-5) specifies this symbol for it.

I have a Fronius inverter which has both WiFi and Ethernet - but works perfectly well without it.

My installer said that they need access to the inverter during set-up in order to configure it properly, but after that it could be disconnected.

Personally, I use it to get firmware updates and to use the API in order to monitor it.

Although, that said, I'm not sure what sort of security issues you're imagining. There's no privacy issue - the inverter only has data on what you've generated.

Hmm, in Germany children and teens can still enter contracts, as long as they are able to pay it with their monthly pocket money. Every single thing you buy here in a supermarket is also an implicit contract (Kaufvertrag).

So, you could theoretically rent servers and buy ad space on Adsense as long your pocket money covers it. On the other hand: this is a liability for Google and $provider -- as most of them are post-pay. If a teen ever decides to spawn an A1000 instance with 36 cores and cannot pay, the contract is void and Google has no entitlement for compensation.

Pre-paid stuff like a small instance on vultr.com should work fine, though.

> Likewise, (some) prepaid phones won’t work, and neither will VoIP numbers (which use IP networks to make calls or send texts). Likewise, a landline phone number won’t work either.

This affects me. If only I could give them a phone number.

I've had a Cricket family plan for 5+ years and their official support recommendation is to "change number or carrier". They offer no other authentication options - not even a credit card.

Am I going to pay an extra $50 a month to play your "free" game? No thank you. There are some people who prepaid for their early access content and are now fighting to get their money back on a game they can't even play. What a stupidly anti-customer company.

All this for a game that is a glorified patch of the previous one.
