In case anyone is inspired to do related things, I made a mistake once (troubling and embarrassing), which I'll mention in case it helps someone else avoid my mistake...

In earlier days of the Web, someone appeared to have hotlinked a photo from a page of mine, as their avatar/signature in some Web forum for another country, and it was eating up way too much bandwidth for my little site.

I handled this in an annoyed and ill-informed way, but which I thought was good-natured, and years later realized it was potentially harmful. I'd changed the URL to serve a new version of the image, to which I'd overlaid text with progressive political slogans relevant to their country. (Thinking I was making a statement to the person about the political issues, and that it would be just a small joke for them, before they changed their avatar/signature to stop hotlinking my bandwidth.) Years later, once I had a bit more understanding of the world, I realized that was very ignorant and cavalier of me, and might've caused serious government or social trouble for the person.

Sensitized by my earlier mistake, I could imagine ways that a subtly NSFW image could cause problems, especially in the workplace, and in some other cultures/countries.
OK, Generation X BBSers are now officially rechristened "Generation AT".
> Just send a blank text file (or one with as minimal data as needed to satisfy the rogue adblock) to the "blocked IPs" to mitigate the traffic for now.

The sent http body was blank, but I beleive we were still sending http head...

> If firewall access exists, just drop the offending incoming traffic entirely.

True, but the service we were using at the time didn't have a L3 firewall, and so we ended up moving out, after paying the bills in full, of course.
Nice to see a freeware tool for this, it might be the only one. There is a commercial tool that works quite well if people don't wat to mess with with LaTeX:

The non-expansionists don't need to fight all possible expansionists. They only need to fight the ones that come around. If B can't beat A, A will soon encounter C, and then D and E, with a fresh roll of the dice each time. The bigger they get, the more adversaries they cross.

We are not predicting the future, but trying to account for an observation. For the scenario to remain on the list of reasons why we haven't been visited, it suffices that it is possible. There are of course lots of other possible reasons, among them that there is nobody to visit.
Yes, happy SUSE user here.
I'm not sure we even have to think about it. Whenever the sophistry is mostly name dropping "deep state" authorities whom all agree its a great idea, its certain to screw over everyone not at the top of the pyramid. Its like that every time, and this is not likely to be an exception.

I think it's much more likely that P2P-hosted gaming would succeed, and even that would probably fail. If I could rent out time on my gaming PC or console to my neighbors, they'd be able to play with low enough latency they would probably never notice it. (There's also probably no money in it.)
Can’t they run an open collective just to pay the bandwidth bill?
It's used in a lot of small embedded devices. I'm in my twenties (for reference) and I've used them a lot of ESP8266, SIM900A, SIM7000 programming.

It's non-ironically a very good system that "just works" most of the time without having to deep dive the documentation.
All the efficiencies and productivity gains we've seen in the last 30 years have not resulted in increasing wages, but instead resulted in higher incomes of the executives and owners.

Perhaps more importantly, the 4DWW isn't a pie-in-the-sky proposal, there are numerous companies that have switched over and have found the productivity gains offset the lesser hours.

As for "how long until people will demand 3?" - we'll see. When AI starts pumping out the same quality of work as humans do, should all humans starve? Or should all humans work fewer hours and capture the benefits?
This article sounds exactly like that Ryan Holiday book of "Trust Me I'm Lying".

I tend to forget how people become successful using media manipulation.

What's worrisome is how people will use GPT-3 to further manipulate media.
This video does a really great breakdown of what you can expect in a real system design interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpMFCHOxK6A

Scooters are like $150 a piece. These six-figure cars. Doubt that gets ignored.
Most requests will be in the background or in Cron jobs. Captcha wouldn't be possible in those situations as it would never be seen by anyone.
To middle school student, I think I would say something like "It's an abstraction layer that Cloud Providers offer so that you can hand them your code, this abstraction layer will spin up/down infrastructure on demand whenever your code is requested/called. Underneath it all there are still servers and infrastructure, it's called serverless because you (the developer) do not have to think about or manage those servers, you just worry about your code."
I haven't read the article but I think the outrage is misplaced. There are people forced to wear a Islamic head dress. The solution is not to ban Islamic head dress. There are people forced into sex slavery and prostitution. The solution isn't to ban prostitution. There are people who are forced into an abortion. The solution is not to ban abortion.

The solution to abuse cannot be curtailing of rights.
totally makes sense! Didn't want to imply any direction!

I was just curios as to why/how so little companies/SaaS offer it.
I haven't seen them add any other ads in while using Brave. They did have a donate button on reddit to donate to the user who posted the comment.

The issue with this approach is it's too late. It might work if you designed it from the start, but adding it now would only destroy your poor balancer with all the connections they have to maintain (waiting for the 5 minutes to expire).

It was mentioned in this article that they are now serving up accessed denied, but the problem is one of just too many requests.

At this point, it's likely easier to just kill the domain all together and get a new one.
Yeah, you could get someone gulag'd pretty easily if you wanted to and they were in the right location.

Subtle things like flipping the image upside down or reversing the colors or other "not quite harmful but quite annoying" responses are probably better, or just serve a 1x1 pixel image of nothing.
A simple heavy fuel tug boat could solve that problem, at some remarkable cost.

Ah, so radiation is being emitted and blocked in a way that coincides to the way we interpret 3d objects, is that right? Because if it would be uniform, the bright orange colors would be uniformly distributed?
You can play games on it.

I just use it to watch streaming channels. It's a "nicer" experience than my FireTV.. the FireTV interface isn't great, and they have ads, etc.

And sure, most of the streaming services require payment.. that's no different than Roku or FireTV or alternatives.

I wonder how the EU thinks about this.

There are clearly good sides. The UK is still a big and powerfull country, nobody wants Irish or Scottish political instability, and it's a great morale booster to have a leaver come back.

But the UK had plenty of dark sides. They always wanted an exception for everything, with the pound not being an euro the famous example. The UK firmly pushed the EU in the 'economic union' direction, so now the advocates of deeper political unification get a chance. There was the only-half-joke from Yes Minister about how the UK only joined because they couldn't break the EU from the outside.

I presume the UK has not really demonstrated what really happens outside the EU. First Covid and now Ukraine are 2 major excuses for bad news, so the pro-leavers can still claim they are right. The EU probably wants to see some more pain in the UK first, to convince other doubters. But not too much.

So while the UK probably could get back in, it might be on much less favorable terms than they had in the past and take a while.

The two most common topologies I've seen for WireGuard are:

1) Client-server, where the client is behind NAT and the server is publicly available at some DNS. The client specifies the server by hostname as the endpoint, and the server doesn't bother specifying an endpoint. Client roams when they switch networks, server roams when they roll over the server, everybody is happy.

2) Peer-to-peer, where the nodes are directly addressable by IP address, whether by public IP or private virtual private IP. In this case, the node dialing in sets an endpoint of the node being dialed, and the node being dialed doesn't bother specifying an endpoint. Thereafter node identity is verified by private key and nodes can fully roam within the firewall-limited subnet.

In every case I've seen, roaming by default is the right choice.
By that metric is a paid browser with ad blocking a leech? I don't think such a thing would be bad at all.
And further increase traffic problems and the continued blight of cities designed for cars? I can't see anything that encourages people to start driving to work as a good thing sorry.
The creators that I do support get more from me in BAT than the zero dollars they get from my viewing of their content in Google/Facebook/Twitter/Youtube. This is what matters.

This isn't entirely true. The US still manufactures a lot of stuff, but does so more efficiently than in the past. The bulk of imported emissions other than electronics and a few minerals are in goods and raw materials that we trade around within NAFTA. A lot of our trade partners are also reducing emissions, even as they export to us. China is our largest partner in terms of our imports, but it only accounts for 16%, while Canada and Mexico represent 14% each.
Do you have some models you're looking at that cause you to believe with such certainty that this is what the future holds? I have not seen, nor can I even really fathom, a scenario in which declining birth rates leads in of itself to extinction (unless the birth rates drop to basically zero for some reason), but certainly this could be due to a failure of imagination. A declining population would certainly look different, but I don't see it causing the end of civilization, much less the species.

I think OP is commenting on the fact that there is more noise, per person, from the pro-WFH side (see the top rated comments here), which might make you think there is more of a preference for it among tech workers. It makes some sense they'd be louder, though, as they are the ones who feel more threatened, as getting to work in their preferred way is new.

Only 16% of US imports come from China. The majority of US imports are from nations with falling emissions. Obviously that isn't perfectly illustrative of exact shares of CO2 represented by those imports, but it's a useful proxy.
A monitor driver, at least in the form most people remember dealing with on Win32 systems, wasn't even a piece of software. It was just a .INF file containing the Windows equivalent to X modelines describing what modes and was only necessary if you either didn't have working EDID for whatever reason or wanted to go outside the range the monitor advertised working at.

Before these "drivers" had to be signed it was common for various graphics tweak tools to provide a method for building your own custom INF to "overclock" a monitor that only officially supported 60 Hz or whatever.
The poverty women used to be at when the man died or when they escaped from abusive one was pretty deep. The level of abuse the power imbalance facilitate was also staggering.

Yeah, it would be nice of society valued child raising more. But, it actually did not and instead the caregivers were often in bad or impossible situations.

Eisenhower came from a military background, rather than political, and was pretty outspoken regarding his opinions, compared to most politicians. He was comfortable vetoing any bill he thought was wrong. In spite of his reputation as a hard-line anti-communist, his presidential farewell address famously warned against "unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex".
These apps behind cannot render the captcha, as the fetch is happening in the background.

However what you can do is match the user-agents, and return a global/catch-all adblocking rule that blocks all the content of all the pages (by blocking the body element).

The app developers are going to notice the issue very fast (because users are reporting the problem), and mirroring the lists or adding a cache is immediately going to be their priority.

Bonus: I think some browsers and extensions can execute JavaScript in adblocking rules; https://help.eyeo.com/adblockplus/snippet-filters-tutorial

I frequently see people get the temporary vs. permanent emissions conflated. Like the argument that burning fallen wood for heat, that is going to disintegrate anyway, is more environmentally unfriendly than burning natural gas.

It is not a US Press Release. But a "World Wide" press release. Hence "best-selling car in America" is the wrong analogy.

And they never stated it was "best selling Android tablet in America ".
This is where I'm at.

I loved the idea of allowing more remote work. It seems people on both sides of this debate don't want to admit there's a grey area. There's pros and cons to both. Not to mention, so much disingenuous discussion.

I live (moving ASAP) in Northern Virginia where a drive into DC could be between 30-1hr. That's 2 hrs a day on the road. 2 * 252 = ~500 hrs of just driving. Insanity to me (hence why I'm moving).
According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27585467 the repo is https://github.com/magwo/elevatorsaga but is also abandoned

Be aware that it's just `eval(textarea.value)` so you can `console.log` or (presumably) `debugger;` in your code to inspect whatever you want. The developer tools likely will allow you to set breakpoints in the framework's code, too

Yup, all of these. Sometimes I look "around" the problem, like, "I found THIS directory but the file 'z.txt' was not in it!" or "Not only could I not find 'z.txt' I could not find THIS directory it was supposed to be in." Check to see that it is really a file, not a directory. "I found 'z.txt' in THIS directory but it was zero bytes in length!"

In terms of "fail early," my larger programs have a section called Pre-Flight Checklist, which looks for files (and that they are files), databases, that the databases have the expected tables and the correct columns, and so on. Are the files sufficiently recent? More or less the expected length? Because this is ETL stuff, it's usually okay to push this stuff up as early as I can.

"Are roads really payed from gas taxes? Everywhere?"

Fuel taxes are quite common. In some areas they do make up a large component of the road funding. Finding a replacement for them is a major issue.

"Somehow even relatively poor countries manage to have good roads. We will save elsewhere. Most of the taxes go into the social bucket in most countries (retirement, social security, health, education) anyway."

This doesn't make any sense and lacks factual support. How do the poor countries pay for the roads, and which counties are these? What are we saving and where? The majority of current taxes going to social programs has no relevance to this discussion. If we're eliminating a current tax and having the same service costs (or more due to increased weight), a new one will need to take it's place.
Tandy 1000, parents sold it. Then TI-85 until a student I was tutoring stole it. Then a TI-86 and HP-48G, plus a high school CS class that used True BASIC on some kind of Macintosh, and by that point C++ and others on my PC at home.

I can't imagine slowing down could be a good idea. At their scale, the sheer number of connection count probably matters more and may contribute to a higher proportion of cost. Bandwidth is expensive yes, but keeping a connection alive means consuming extra memory for the socket in the kernel, in the app, and in many other places.
Disappointed that the author went straight to the cliche:this technology is bad because isn’t perfect and here and can be used in nefarious ways.

His argument has been tackled extensively by academics, techies and journos. The author’s opening but could be classed as plagiarism in an academic setting for how familiar its beats are.

My mind must be in a dark place because once you mentioned politics I thought of how just sitting at home I could easily come up with some kind of image that could literally imprison or kill some one off from thousands of miles away, without even getting up from the couch.

Dunno if they still do this, but years ago when I created one email account per service I used (github/jobs/online orders), I didn't have to add a phone number or other 2fa to the Outlook addresses themselves inside Outlook, but I did have to do it for the Gmail addresses. That being said, after a certain period of time, I think Outlook eventually prompted me to add 2fa.
