Actually issued by a government? Not sure.

How to implement? Also not sure. I am not an expert in this field. "Anonymous credentials" seems like the closest thing maybe. Basically you need to somehow prove you have a valid signed certificate without disclosing the public key.

Since you seem open to putting up barriers...in the process of looking into this I discovered Idena and checked it out a little. You could required verified Idena something or other, just as an example. I'm sure there are scores of these types of things being built, most or all of which will fail to gain traction.
Why should anything of this sort ever deserve a LIFETIME ban?
You forget exactly how much the government felt they got out of just knowing whom was talking to whom, not even bothering to collect the data of the conversation itself.
Relocation assistance != disaster assistance

Stop paying for them to keep rebuilding the house, give them the money to move.

>I know of no place on earth that is without some susceptibility to natural disaster. So where do we draw the line?

OP proposed twice, you objected. I think twice with no time horizon isn't useful. Twice in 50 years seems reasonable for someone who lives in a 100 year flood plain.

But these flood plains are growing with climate change. Storms are getting worse and more frequent. Just continuing to pay to rebuild is not the answer.

I feel the proliferation of plugins has made the whole vim/neovim echo system too complicated and overwhelming to adapt for a new user.
1. Vim itself has a learning curve
2. There are many great plugins, but if they don't work for you, then unless you are an advanced user, it is impossible to get everything working without wasting a day
3. I find it weird that to get a vim plugin to work, I might have to install llvm and do a compilation and prey that all the dependencies have been satisfied
According to this article [1] in the New York Times the introduction of Apple’s App Tracking Transparency isn’t among the four biggest challenges for Facebook. Daring Fireball has it summarized [2] like so:

“The age problem”: Young people aren’t using Facebook at all and are using Instagram less, but the success of both platforms as advertising revenue bonanzas is predicated on usage by the youth demographic.

“The innovation problem”: Facebook hasn’t invented a new hit since the blue app itself and its other successes were all acquired.

“The metaverse problem”: They’re betting the company on AR/VR, but it remains to be seen whether that’s going to be a big thing.

“The antitrust problem”: No summary necessary.

Interesting. Is it a deliberate decision or just an omission?

Yeah, bad phrasing! I'm sure there are other examples of stealth taxation.

In 20xx, aggreagating billion points of data is illegal due to reasonable number of humans couldn’t do it.
If you tax generate of CO2 and "all else follows", what "would follow" is that the party that instituted said tax would be voted out and it would be repealed.
You can deny the police the tool even though third parties.

Example: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/us/politics/trump-twitter...

Twitter is a third party but a court ruled that Trump blocking critics violated their first amendment rights.

It is simple enough to ban the government from using AI in the process of law enforcement and that ban would extend to whomever they enlisted to help them.

If you worded the statute correctly.

Of course it will still be a mess. Most of the pictures I've seen on the news have been stickbuilts that are completely trashed.
> if you want performance NoSQL is the winner.

Performance for which use cases?

It matters to clarify this because if you get rid of every use case SQL+RDBMS optimize for, NoSQL is obviously going to be the winner. A car with no safety measures and without most consumer-oriented features is probably going to be "faster" than one that has them.

Not all companies need huge investment, and it's a good time to start a company when a lot of companies are dead or dying, and you can step into their market and buy their assets for cheap.
Sure. But that also has to be weighed up against the risk that the device has a firmware bug which will render it inoperable.

Or that a potential fault won't be identified and the owner won't be alerted.

There are risks on both sides. But, in the UK at least, there are several inverters which don't require an IP address.
This. I'd not expect to become advertisement fodder for a product that I pay regularly for. The inverter, on the other hand, is something I paid for once, so for years two through 25 (the expected lifetime), I'm essentially a cost to them as they operate whatever service that it talks back to. There's an incentive there to try and recover that cost, and they can't do it by increasing my monthly bill.
The bestest chocolate I had for a very long time was "Tesco finest Peruvian" impulse bought at a steep discount. There were only 2 packages available. I did not saw nor tasted anything close to that since. The Tesco finest chocolates are available but not Peruvian anymore.

I'm left completely bewildered by this supply chain fluke. I think the retail chocolate prices are completely divorced from any underlying reality and the real thing isn't even available, at least not here in Europe. Just various kinds of chocolate flavored stuff.
That's probably only true for extremely license-permissive shops:

Good question. It's a nested reference. I named the company Ockam as a tribute to a company that a mentor of mine built and ran in the 70's - 2000's. He named his company after Occam's Razor.

> The less code there is in total that the CPU has to execute, the faster it'll be.

The more higher-level the language is, the less this is true in my experience
Don't know about hex/zed but Lua in neovim is just about as pleasant to use as Elisp is with Emacs. It's not quite the same thing since neovim's still largely written in C, where Emacs is largely written in Elisp. But most of the editor's features (including text manipulation) are exposed to Lua.

Lua is a nice language too, just lacking the stuff that makes the Lisp nerd in me happy.
With an attitude like that it’s no surprise you are still looking. Let’s be honest, the good devs, with good communication and people skills, they already have jobs and their companies will do whatever they can to keep them.

Aren't GANs all about creating both the generator and the discriminator? Seems to me you can also build the "reverser" quite easily.
You probably ALSO don't need to mag dump into the sky, so a blank not being able to adequately cycle your weapon probably shouldn't be a big issue?
It seems much more likely the perspective being portrayed here is not the reality to the elected officials. Perhaps there is more to the story than what joe-random citizen sees or understands. I highly doubt elected officials are actually "scared" of the police, despite whatever campaign contributions the local union chapter can muster. There are a lot of political forces at play, including the desire for re-election.

Mar-a-lago is just the latest of a string of political shenanigans the FBI has been involved in. But we can also look at other federal law enforcement agencies for clear examples of why we do not want this. ATF, Secret Service, CBP, ICE and more have all become embroiled in political turmoil in the last decade.

Regardless, the problems you voice here are not solved by a federal police force nor federal funding. The federal government is not immune to corruption and bad actors - and are far far more difficult to hold accountable for bad decisions and actions. The federal government doesn't understand nor care about the problems of some po-dunk random town.

You need local folks that live in your town to be the local law enforcement. It's that simple. It should be noted currently a lot of your town or city police don't actually live where they work, and therefore might be inclined to care less about the local community. Moving the agency and incentives further away only will exacerbate this situation.

You want more accountability? Then have your neighbor be the enforcer, not some hired gun from out of town.
I don't think the title follows. Nobody in that exchange seems to have considered the possibility that the 13yo could just keep the account going for 5 years until they're able to verify it at age 18, or alternatively just create a new Google ID on their 18th birthday and use that.

Seems like a nontroversy.
I was not familiar with Helix or Zed, so I took a look at the links.

Both webpages prominently state that the editors are written in Rust. This reduces my interest in both projects.

As a user, I do not care what language my editor is implemented in. Maybe I want a fast editor, or maybe I want a feature-rich editor. The closest I would come to caring about this is if I want an extensible editor - can I extend these editors using Rust?

Lacking any explanation as to why I should care that the editor is written in Rust, the conclusion I draw is that the creators of the editor were interested in an exercise in writing an editor in Rust - which I'm sure is a wonderful learning experience for the creators, but I don't see why that would make me interested in using the editor.
That's my second disappointment. I prefer programming to playing games. Programming is my game. If I could stake a claim in the Metaverse and build Spalding Gray world (boxmonster comes from his Monster in a Box) so that Spalding was part of the virtual world then I would. Something similar to how I can build a website. Spalding Gray world just an example of what I'd like to be able to freely do for very little cost. The Metaverse should be more like Minecraft and less like AOL.

You could just get a check mailed. I lived in Europe then and got a check that I cashed at my bank. I didn’t have a SSN, so but maybe US citizens had to provide it.

Granted this was 15 or so years ago so things might have changed since then.

>Can you name some specific people cheering the riots and destruction?

Kamala Harris encouraged people to donate to the MN bail fund, which was used to bail out rioters.

>No matter how much the right wants it, the two situations are not even close to being equal.

You are correct: the Jan. 6 protests were far less deadly and less damaging than the BLM protests.
Taxes fund current military expenses. Pensions are designed to fund tomorrow’s expenses with today’s money. You need some sort of instrument to do that.

If you don’t save current resources for future expenses, then you risk needing a very large future amount of the tax base for pensions. If, for example, more people retire.

Even for the military they used war bonds and took on debt in wars when the wars demanded outsized current expenses. They didn’t just raise taxes really high in WWII to pay for everything. They paid for it over time with bonds. The Soviets did the same in agreeing to repay lend lease bonds.

"we know you are compromised and know exactly where, but we're not going to tell"

The sad think is they didn't even tell that, they gave the admins no ways to be able to differentiate between:

- we don't care if we destroy your company with a false positive and

- we are sure we are right, if you didn't do it intentionally you are probably compromised
That sounds great, unless you own the property and are forced to sell it to the government for pennies on the dollar because some beaurocracy unilaterally decreed your land as uninhabitable and uninsurable.

If fellow gun owners considered idiots shooting guns into the air to be the actual threat they are, it should solve itself. These gun owners have no problem flagging strange black people protesting in front of their houses, why do they have such a problem keeping their friends from being idiots with lethal weapons?

> "There is no alternative" is not an excuse to implement a bad decision

It is if the status quo is worse than the bad decision.
This is exactly why the 2016 election was interesting. Silver called it about 33% chance Trump would win. And then he did, and people said "AHA! You were WRONG!"

But he gave Trump a higher probability of winning than just about anyone, other than Trump himself. One of Silver's detractors, Sam Wang, even said it was so impossible Trump would win that he'd eat a bug if he got more than 240 electoral votes. (he chose a gourmet cricket https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/sam-wang-poll-expert-...)
I use VSCode, but I installed the vim plugin which makes it handle like vim for user inputs. Best of both worlds IMHO.
This is cool, though as someone who doesn't have a 3D printer, it feels like you could get pretty far with a "starter kit" of mass produced items (grids and various boxes), and then extend that with 3D printed inserts for most things.

Though maybe 3D printing is already at the stage where you can get something custom produced for roughly the same price and quality.
Facebook and Twitter outright admitted to blocking content related to Hunter Biden's laptop before the election 2020. They claimed it was for privacy concerns. And then after the election, there was no worry so that rule went away. All of these decisions are of a neoliberal view of the world which is mainly "yes war, identity politics when convenient, block dissent otherwise". This will only continue.
If you outlaw facial recognition, only outlaws will recognize faces.
Consider how gun control laws have some efficacy because not everyone is a skilled gunsmith with machining equipment. Someone with a mill/lathe in their garage can still make them.
Software allows even unskilled people to do the thing. This can be performed today with off-the-shelf, existing hatdware and open-source software. Attempting to outlaw its use is about like trying to close Pandora's box. The horses are already out of the barn on this one...
My parents have an internet controlled heat pump. It works fine without, but you basically can't change the settings locally. A couple of years ago they bricked it, charged us 400€ for 'repairs' which did jack squat, then it magically started working a few weeks later.

Don't buy internet connected appliances.
If you develop technology that can reliably detect deepfakes (i.e., fn is_deepfake(m: media) -> bool), then couldn't an AI be trained to defeat it?
Cool, this is closer to what I think will ultimately be successful. From the FAQ: What is OpenSimWorld? OpenSimWorld is a directory of 3D worlds that use the open source OpenSimulator software and are connected to each other via the hypergrid functionality. OpenSimWorld is not a Grid, and we don't host or rent regions, we only provide an easy way to discover amazing virtual worlds and to advertise your own region.
That's funny, I just switched from VSC to NeoVim because things just work. The C++ LSP bindings for Vim were easier to set up, faster, and more reliable than my setup in VSC. Though I imagine these things vary greatly, since C++ and C++ tooling is enormously complex and varies from codebase to codebase.
I remember at 21 getting an email from Paypal that the account I'd used my entire online life was banned because I started it when I was 12. They noticed this after I reached out to support...

Switched email addresses and used that instead. Although I've not used PayPal in a good while because it just randomly rejected transactions for no clear reason.

there is some aspect there about how web-savvy business owners can be and how easy it is to bring business to them. It'll be great to see that playing field fleshed out in time.
The local paper around these parts charges about 4x what I'm paying for a high quality national paper. I'd pay a little more for local (economies of scale pretty much guarantee their marginal costs are higher) but not that much more. Especially because even at that higher price it's still filled to the brim with advertising and copies of news from other sources.

Um, there are a lot more (often gratuitous) sex scenes in US-made TV/ movies than Japanese ones, from what I've observed. And while there's generally far less glorified violence, you only need to watch something like Alice in Borderland to see some pretty explicitly violent stuff.

I'd probably lose out on $500 per year from my system if I didn't sell them. At this point, though, it might _actually_ be asking the question of how much I value my privacy.
I think it would lead to arms race.
For a while they just mailed paper checks on any month when the 100 USD minimum threshold was passed. If they didn't get cashed they'd send threatening letters about 'escheatment'. I think that stopped at some point about 10yrs ago. Not sure about what happened after.

Awesome, thanks so much for that! I guess then it sounds like, even if bandwidth were not an issue for a datasource, there would still be the physical limitations of the machine on which steampipe would do any later processing (such as joins between datasources). In other words, there's no sense in which steampipe distributes this work across multiple processes or machine. Is that correct?

Sorry if a dumb question. I could be thinking entirely in terms of the wrong paradigm here since my work in this space was primarily concerned with distributed computing and big data.
Funny, the same people that talk about needing guns to protect them from a tyrannical government get real shy about actually using those guns against a government they claim to be tyrannical. I'm tired of defending a "right" to protect from "tyranny" when everything seems to come down to a "Not true tyranny (yet)" fallacy.

More importantly, women in the US are literally dying due to tyrannical oppression from their government. Where are the people with guns to fight said government?
I had no idea. I'd be okay with that if the firmware was open source, but I can dream.

On the other hand, if something bad happens (virus, remote bricking, disabling some functionality that was in the contract in un update), you can probably sue them. Granted, if they face massive service disruption, you may not be able to gain much from it.
In the eyes of the neoliberal, you're only supposed to use identity politics to attack your enemy, not as a means of stating basic facts such as she's Italy's first female PM.
I have been using vim since the late 90s, although the experience back then was much different. I don't think I really used plugins until around 2010 or so, and I was more into gvim until I moved to tmux + vim combo around 2016. So my nvim setup is not too fancy (sometimes I try plugins, if in two weeks I don't use them -or I don't even remember how they work-, I uninstall them).

Moved to neovim because it felt faster than vim 7.x and it was fresh and exciting (couldn't believe the progress the project was making in a short period of time, compared with vim). Then I stayed because of the native LSP support and nvim-metals (among others).

Things work, to the point that I'm not really using the editor but editing (if that makes sense). It is completely invisible to me. It is my editor.
You're right about facial recognition, but I was extending that same concept to other domains. For example, the police can go to the solar company and get them to make your panels stop working. Or something.
Sounds like this one is going to appear on the network like https connections to Cloudflare.
Yea, this one didn't take a genius. Anyone who mildly kept track of eastern European affairs and Russia knew something was about to happen as soon as Russia started moving large numbers of troops. I guess if we want to give the CIA a victory here, maybe we knew about the movements earlier because of the CIA, but the conclusion those movements came to didn't need a CIA agency to predict.
