Try it on servers as well. If something doesn't work as it should, just run it in a CentOS/Ubuntu container.

It usually works better than doing the opposite (CentOS/Ubuntu server running Alpine containers).
While I agree that it would have been sensible to phase out coal and then nuclear, the german position is more complex. The fallout from Tschernobyl was measurable in Germany… measurable as in my science teacher measured it in his garden. Up to today boar and mushrooms have an elevated level of radiation in the forests around my home. So this is the emotional background, the risks are not far away. Fukushima gave the debate another spin „If Japan can’t control the technology nobody can“.

I still thank shutting them off is wrong but I think there’s a lot of history in that decision. And it’s much more history than one party deciding that.
Yes, sadly they're pretty common. My wife's side business is almost always paid with a check. I regularly, but not frequently, receive doctors bills or similar without online payment options, so I have to write ~12 checks/year. My housekeeper doesn't accept Paypal/Venmo, so she's paid with a check as well. Sane for some random laborers (lawn, paint) who are working by word of mouth (and not employed by a larger firm). And it's pretty common for elderly people to use them to pay for groceries.

I guess my counter-question is what does the rest of the world do for doctors bills or paying laborers who don't accept payment via Paypal/Venmo?
At a previous company I worked, my team (system’s infrastructure) would purposefully avoid the cyber security team, and even attempt to sweep security issues under the rug, because they were so awful to work with.
I'm not a Morse operator, so I wouldn't know. That's why I said the function of these words may simply not be needed.

The poster earlier claimed that no English word contains the digraph "hh", however, which is simply untrue. It's quite uncommon, and I'm sure the prosign use of HH is grammatically unambiguous in general, but it being invalid otherwise is not a well-founded reason.
The topic was, I thought, that specific UN meeting. If you want to discuss the utility of talking as a concept, you will find little resistance here, what with this being a discussion forum.

MS is relevant when discussing that meeting, since the article is about Microsoft’s presence there (under the nom-de-guèrre of GitHub).
Right now, gas prices are falling (since the gas storages are full) and federal assistance is currently in the works. So, while possible, I don't know how likely of a problem this will be.
Crypto before going mainstream and investors getting involved was a middle finger to corrupt establishments that manipulate and steal the value of our money. Bitcoin was created and emerged as a reaction to the 2008 financial crisis and Central Banks like the Federal Reserve. Monero as a project is driven to go back to Bitcoin's original philosophy and improve on it. Also, not every law in the books is just and governments use plenty of our money for nefarious purposes.

I no longer star projects on GitHub: instead, I mirror them onto my Gitea server which periodically syncs in changes with a cadence of my choosing[1]. If a project I depend on ever gets deleted from GitHub, I'll have a reasonably up-to-date copy.

If you have a Pi in a drawer somewhere, or an underutilized 512MB VPS, using it to self-host a Gitea instance is worthwhile!

I think the parallel stands. A lot of the egregious political abuse of mental illness in the US dates back to 50-100 years ago[1]. You don't hear about public figures being involuntarily committed over accusations of mental illness in recent years.

> From each participant's perspective they cost far less, both in terms of implementation and ongoing maintenance, than attempting to build and run a centralized database oneself

This comparison isn’t valid: you’re using a shared blockchain service with high transaction costs but then saying the comparison can’t use a shared service.

> 2. They do the precise opposite of adding reliability problems; they're in fact notoriously difficult to bring down given the sheer degree of data replication.

So you’re saying I can process blockchain transactions without a reliable, high-speed network connection? I never have to worry about fee increases or high volume impacting my clearance time?

> The comment to which you replied describes at length how they add considerable degrees of trust.

It describes a number of distractions from the core problem but doesn’t solve any of the hard ones. The fundamental misunderstanding you and the poster are operating under is that this kind of system is based on anonymity. Since the real world is not, you don’t need anything which PKI doesn’t give you far more efficiently.

> > If my inspector is being paid off, he'll do the same thing for the blockchain record that he was doing with paper.

> Which would then be public and uncensorable evidence against that inspector.

Just like it is currently, except with hefty transaction fees. The problem here is that you need someone to figure out where things are being faked in-person. A blockchain can't solve that because the problem happens in the real world and if you setup an oracle to inject that information you're just renaming that existing trust relationship, not removing it.

> > If things are being tampered with in shipping, the same people will do the same things and you'll have the same dodgy goods arriving at their destination except they'd now have valid but inaccurate blockchain records.

> And that inaccuracy would - upon detection - become public and uncensorable evidence against those tamperers.

Just like it is currently, except with hefty transaction fees. Again, “public” isn't relevant — all of the parties already know each other and if it goes to court they're going to produce records — and “uncensorable” is just meaningless blockchain marketing fluff because that's not a relevant problem or one which a blockchain effectively prevent.

In all of the cases I outlined, the problem requires real world checks to find who is faking the records. Whether those records are paper, actions tracked on a website, PKI signed documents, or transactions recorded on a blockchain is a rounding error on the difficulty of setting up the real world legal system and monitoring which actually prevent cheating. If I have a problem with counterfeit goods showing up, everyone involved is going to say that their records were accurate and the problem must have been somewhere else – all a blockchain tells you is that you paid more to store the receipt, not that it was accurate.
> Why do we need an absolute free speech platform?

To ensure that ideas that people want to be censored or deplatformed can be evaluated by others who want to see what they are.

If people are not able to read oposing viewpoints, it makes them less able to understand them, and why they are wrong.
Common enough. Ignoring the ones that I never see because my bank writes and delivers them for me, I still periodically get payments for things like FSA as a check. I also write maybe a couple dozen a year for various home service stuff.

(That said, I probably only deposit 5 or 6 checks a year. So putting them in an ATM at the bank wouldn't be a horrible inconvenience. And they are getting less and less common.)
As long as you're on the up about it, there's nothing wrong with having two jobs, at all.

IIRC Oliver Sacks was interested in this kind of thing. Think there's an episode of Radiolab where he talks about how ho used to carry around a couple of extremely strong, oblong magnets in his pockets that would stay oriented north even while he moved around. He wanted to see if his brain could learn to make sense of the input and develop a new sense, akin to the magnetic navigation that retain birds have. Not sure if he ever developed the new sense but the comments here suggest that he might have been able to.

Another fun fact: evidently, one third of Earth's languages (not one third of speakers mind you) do not have words for "left" and "right" and instead use cardinal terms for everything. Speakers of such languages presumably then must know their orientation at all times.
Not to that extend. I remember that when Left 4 Dead 2 was announced, there was a boycot movement: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/05/one-zombie-of-a-chanc...

Similar nit, when you ask "Will theorems() discover `theorem halting_problem (n) :

You're using a different definition of "quality software" that is orthogonal to the one that the rest of us are using. Your definition is the one that isn't helped much by automated tests. But for an actual product, you really want both kinds of quality, including the kind that is helped by automated tests.
a) They just turned the page into a 404, without any notice about what had happened to the repo.

I'm curious how well oriented you felt before. I currently always feel like I can point to north no matter what, so I'm wondering if I'd benefit from this or not? I suppose those abilities get worse when I'm not in a city with an aligned grid or inside a building, like hiking on a trail where you can't see the sun. Still, I'm not sure what I'd gain from this and curious if there's a next level of awareness to attain.
The two main ways are based on geographical landmarks (west is towards the ocean, south is towards the desert, north is downriver, etc.) and the other is based on the sun/moon. East is the direction the sun/moon rises and west is the direction the sun/moon sets. One of the fascinating things I learned about antiquity is they would often orient their maps so east (the direction of the rising sun) was at the top of the map. They didn’t have magnetic compasses so there wasn’t anything special about north to cause them to orient their maps in that direction.

> I don't care about an arbitrary definition of two strung-together words, whose definitions individually, are absolute. When combined, their definition is just as absolute.

This feels like a deeper debate than I'm capable of having, but all language is a string of strung-together words with meanings. These meanings have reached a high enough degree of consensus to exist in a dictionary or semiotic treatise. I think that clinging to your own meaning of absolute free speech when faced with not an arbitrary definition, but one which was reached through a social and cultural consensus, is naive or willfully contrarian.
That's totally fair! It sounds like these words simply aren't used in Morse communication, which seems reasonable due to its purpose. I imagine HH as a prosign is also fairly unambiguous in grammatical context, even if someone did need to key it as part of a word.
This topic was covered extensively in Vampires, Burial, and Death, which is now on at least its second edition.

Rather similarly, Isle of the Dead (1945) concerned the plague and local superstition about the "vorvolaka," another vaguely vampish permutation.

The solution is for the metaphorical adults in the room to stand up and proclaim "cool story; we don't care" when someone comes knocking at their door with evidence of misdoings of one of their employees.

> Show me where Kanye is advocating for the annihilation of the Jews before you go citing baseless claims.

Now, I didn't say he's been advocating for the annihilation of Jewish people, I said "blasting antisemitism." Antisemitism exists on a spectrum, and advocating for the annihilation of Jewish people is one point very far along that spectrum. If that's your actual threshold, you're definitely going to miss a lot of dogwhistles. But he's gotten pretty alarmingly close to exactly that:

My Garmin contains a magnetic compass and can display your ABCs (altitude, barometer, compass) on the watchface or widget.

You can also query the compass using the API:

"The result was the launch of the International Society for the Abolition of Data Processing Machines (ISADPM) – President, Harvey Matusow. The society was in many ways a media construct and little substantial activity took place on the ground, although much was promised. It was a minor, but for a time significant, part of a broader public debate in England around the emerging database society. It resonated with a cultural unease around computerization and its medium effects felt in the late 1960s, what might be termed a database anxiety. For many at that time computers seemed alien and the proposition that they might be ‘far more deadly than the Beatles’ yellow submarine’, as one US Congressman put it, 4 not entirely absurd."
This wouldn’t work in the context of a mobile app though.
https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2020/2020-1031-publication.pdf has the "what establishes residency"

> The term “domicile” has a special legal definition that is not the same as residence. While many states consider domicile and residence to be the same, California makes a distinction and views them as two separate concepts, even though they may often overlap. For instance, you may be domiciled in California but not be a California resident or you may be domiciled in another state but be a California resident for income tax purposes.

> Domicile is defined for tax purposes as the place where you voluntarily establish yourself and family, not merely for a special or limited purpose, but with a present intention of making it your true, fixed, permanent home and principal establishment. It is the place where, whenever you are absent, you intend to return. The maintenance of a marital abode in California is a significant factor in establishing domicile in California.

As long as you're remaining transitory and not staying in a single, fixed, permanent home you should be fine.

Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (takes about two to three months to get out of California) won't establish residency in California.

Along these lines is an audio compass app I came across when looking for good visually impaired navigation tools: https://staging.f-droid.org/en/packages/cz.harvie.northdog/

Really basic concept but helpful for in-city navigation for someone without sight. The downside is it works by using both channels in a stereo headphone setup, which means you are dulling your audial sensitivity to the area around you.

Something like this seems to be an even better concept in terms of addressing that.

I also wonder if this could simply be added to existing smartwatches.
> leveraging the Halting Problem gives you a lot of stuff for free.

Not exactly for free. You still have to prove the non-computability of the halting problem. But I get your meaning.

> Just the fact that we're assuming that a formal logic system and a programming language are isomorphic is actually a pretty huge deal and those developments span several generations of logicians.

Sure, but that is no different from any technological advance. Arabic numerals were a major breakthrough when they were first invented. Nowadays it is pretty safe to take them for granted in most cases.

> Godel numbering really originally made this entire thing work.

Sure, but that was only necessary because Godel didn't know about ASCII. Proving Godel's theorem using Godel numbers is kind of like writing a C compiler as a state table for a Turing Machine. You could do it, but no one in their right mind would except perhaps as an intellectual exercise.

The history of how technological innovations came about is very different, and usually much more difficult, than the way one can re-invent those innovations with the benefit of hindsight.
Part of it is because visa and mastercard charge these big fees for their service that make it difficult for small businesses to cover costs and be competitive. A few restaurants by me that are legit brick and mortars (versus stands), have card service, still offer a cash discount of 4%. For stuff like food trucks or table setups on the sidewalks, I don't blame them for going all cash and flying under the radar from the IRS, considering how difficult it is to establish a small business in this county and maintain everything in order as far as the local/state/federal government are concerned. Its almost like the laws are designed to make it difficult unless you have a 'fixer' on your side telling you what forms to file and how to deal with things from the government, just based on people I know who run businesses here and have had to use fixers themselves to understand the byzantine tax process or other licensing issues.
I have a comment below about it, evidence is actually contrary to the goal.

If you bring evidence you're introducing a place for a counter attack to apply leverage.

If instead you make completely baseless claims on obvious false pretenses, you've actually made things more difficult to counter because only trivial counterproofs exist, which have to be dismissed to believe the false claim in the first place.

-

Take COVID vaccine deaths for example. Imagine I baselessly say that the medical field is lying and 50% of COVID deaths are actually vaccine complications.

For someone to believe that, they must completely distrust any official numbers on COVID deaths... so once they've fallen for the lie, how do you convince them otherwise? The only counterproofs are the trivial to find sources of data that they already had to dismiss to believe me in the first place. Suddenly I've implanted a self-enforcing lie that entrenches its believers against anyone who isn't in their echo chamber.

The root of all this is straightfoward enough: there is nothing stronger than requiring someone to disbelieve their own beliefs to counter your disinformation. If you add a deepfake, you've added something outside of their belief system to attack, so you're weakening the attempt. People simply do not like to be wrong about things they think they've figured out.
I worked with the guy that designed this gadget (Hi Eric!), back in ~2009 or so.

It would be really cool to see another version with smaller electronics, flex PCB, etc.

Other features, like connection to a smart phone for waypoint navigation would be neat.
I would agree, especially from the standpoint of today, but I guess you have to see things historically.

Issues with nuclear like fallout from Chernobyl still leading to contamination today in German or bad handling of nuclear waste at the Asse II mine have been a topic in German society for a very long time.
The climate crisis picked up as a topic only really in the late 90s.
That explains the first nuclear exit plan in 2000.

The current exit from 2011 was a direct reaction to what happened in Fukushima.

I mean even today you still have plenty of people and company that think that there is still a lot of time before more action must be taken against climate change.
