Every part of the constellation passes over China. The Starlink satellite constellation is practically invulnerable to physical attack because it would be prohibitively expensive to hit thousands of individual satellites with interceptors. And SpaceX can keep launching them, 50 at a time (potentially hundreds at a time once Starship is working, along with an increase in constellation size to 30,000+).

Physical attacks on the ground stations are more feasible from a physics perspective, but now that the satellites have laser links you'd have to take out ground stations all over the world to completely cut service, not just locally.

The way to attack Starlink would be hacking, either of the command and control system or the user terminals. Failing that, then jamming, and/or anti-radiation missiles targeted at the user terminals. Russia is known to be trying hacking and jamming already (recall that they were already successful in hacking Viasat at the very beginning of the war). I haven't heard about them locating user terminals by their transmissions but I'd be shocked if they aren't trying that too.
The the need for cancer-like growth is really a driver of the worst behavior.

As a consumer of B2B services, I’m always amazed by the awful deals companies make to show revenue growth. One in particular a few years ago was particularly amazing. The sales dude was getting paid on revenue, and pushed through a deal that cost the company fortune. The entire sales chain of command retired and bought boats.
Anecdotally, my experience growing up in the rural south of the USA (not MS) is that the police would often let things slide for a member of the community that they knew. I.e. rather than a formal DUI, the individual would get a ride home and have to pick up their keys at the sheriff's office in the morning. This type of sentiment could be aligned with lax open container laws which could affect such data.

Apple may be doing great financially, as all Apple apologist would like to point out, but the current Apple just resemble less and less of Steve Jobs' Apple.
> The mass adoption of DNS-over-HTTPS, which is "bottom-up" DNS security that (unlike DNSSEC) protects the "last mile" between browsers and the DNS servers they talk to; in a world where most users talk to just a couple trusted DNS resolvers, all of which speak DoH, DoH might be all the DNS security we need?

Of course those "couple trusted DNS resolvers" (and all the ones operated by enthusiastic "Home labs" types) need to know whether the answers are trustworthy, otherwise we're just centralising the problem not fixing it.

You're a smart person so I'm sure you guessed what the canonical solution is, it's DNSSEC.

> The potential inclusion of RDAP, the successor to Whois, as a mechanism for verifying domain ownership for certificates

This is technology, wishful thinking won't move the bar. ACME RDAP isn't a thing, doesn't appear to have even a draft, don't think it was even discussed. So this "potential" seems rather nebulous. RDAP is a cute trick, it'd be nice if it someday displaces WHOIS properly but it doesn't really have great applicability to this problem.

> explore alternate models with clearer, more realistic trust models.

I have experience with the "Surely anything would be better than this" crowd, they voted for Brexit. You presumably don't need to ask how that's going since I believe in your country they voted for Trump.

The west generated wealthy societies because it constantly transformed itself into something better. With the risk of sounding too pessimistic, right now all i see is a lack of leadership and direction, i see a west increasingly fractured, ridden with debt and populism. At most we are in maintenance mode putting out fires as they come, we are reactive. Even if there is some growth its nowhere near the spectacular growth we saw with the industrial revolution, invention of the internet or the advancement of knowledge in physics and chemistry. Iterating iphones, creating new ubers and facebooks or new programming languages isnt growth. I think we can do better.

The workflow many post-production studios use for editing/grading is to keep files on a NAS with proxies (i.e., lower-quality transcodes of the video clips in the edit) on a local disk -- that's the workflow I use even with my desktop machine, and I bet it'll work well with this too.
I guess all these additions are incentivized by google etc loving the fact that it makes the moat to make competing browsers wider and wider. Imagine trying to make a new browser from scratch in 2022 and supporting the 20+ years of bloat like this (not to mention future plans).

The stores where this was done are chock full of purpose-built cameras performing more in-depth and persistent surveillance. The main difference is the proceeds from that surveillance system are generally kept hidden, so they don't provoke a base response.

This is yet another occurrence of the draconian CFAA being used to persecute individuals, often with severe life-destroying penalties, for what should be considered, at most, misdemeanor trespass - a modern day witch hunt. And since the CFAA hinges on this nebulous concept of "authorization", it's straightforwardly nullified by a contract of adhesion, so it does nothing to protect individuals from transgressions by companies.

Yeah. Perhaps most charmingly treated here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.12671 { EDIT: though surely many other places!

PPP makes sense and that what should be used.

Let’s take the fictional example of a team of builder building a house.
The exact same, basic house.

The same team of people, build 3 houses One in the Silicon Valley somewhere full of rich tech folks that they are gonna overcharge.

One other in Columbia ( same exact house )

One other in Germany ( Same exact house, built in 2000 man hours all 3 of them )

The productivity of that fictional team of builder is the same. They output one single house in 2000 man hours.

But they might sell the house for 10 times more USD in the SV than in Columbia and 5 more than Germany.

Skewing the measure of their raw productivity.

Hope it makes sense

...no? "Political speech" is a jargon term; it doesn't just mean "anything said by a politician." Political speech is speech intended to influence people's political beliefs. And political beliefs, in turn, are beliefs rooted in people's subjective preferences, which cannot be swayed merely with facts-about-the-world, but where you must instead convince people of deficiencies in the logic they use to evaluate various world-states as satisfying, or not satisfying, their preferences. A politically-conservative person can not be made politically-liberal, or vice-versa — even temporarily, on just one issue — by presenting facts-about-the-world alone. Such a change can only be effected by shifting how the person thinks — what mental tools they will reach for to evaluate information. If only temporarily.

And that's what political speech does: attempts to shift or reprioritize the mental toolkit people are using, at the same time as giving them information to apply this (temporarily) reorganized mental toolkit against.

Usually, this process of temporarily rearranging someone's mental toolkit using speech is referred to as "rhetoric." (Which is really annoying to me personally, because that's also what you call things that don't do that, but rather just attempt to confuse people by activating the bad, naturally weak or biased tools in the human mental toolkit, using e.g. ad-hominem attacks, equivocations, etc.) Thankfully, "political speech" (at least when used as a jargon term) can capture the nuances of "rearranging someone's mental toolkit" without the default implication that the speaker is committing professional malfeasance as a communicator.

Also, in case you were presuming that I was attempting to insult "unreasonable" people: actually, "unreasonable" people are the vast majority of people, and always have been; and that's not really a bad thing, per se. "Reasonable people" are extreme outliers — they're people who will take raw facts, explore their implications, and then use those implications to argue themselves into having different political beliefs, grinding the facts against their mental toolkit until the mental toolkit is what gets broken and reshaped. They're people who are willing to accept and internalize "repugnant conclusions" if they're inescapable due to the facts at hand; without first requiring a lens through which the conclusion can be made non-repugnant to them. Even people who can sometimes think this way, usually don't. Anyone who can manage to think this way most of the time, could get a job as a professional philosopher.

(And sometimes, the goal of political speech is to activate the dormant "reasonable" mental tools in these sometimes-reasonable people — a.k.a. to "get people to see reason!" Usually not, though; due to quirks of personality, "reasonable" people are rarely also thought-leaders in such a way that swaying them becomes key to swaying others; so they're rarely the targets of political speech.)
I did like Expanse, but I tried to watch a few of the older Star Trek and/or Star Wars movies (don't remember the difference), and I didn't like them at all.
Haha thanks. Didn't think it could be interpreted like that :D
How many classes do you think it should have, ballpark, given the same feature set? GUI toolkits alone can produce thousands of classes because there are thousands of concepts that make sense to model, then add on security, collections, many utilities, XML handling, multiple RPC systems and so on. It's hard to over-state how large the Java standard library is.

And it's not like other ecosystems do better. The standard complaint about JS is that you try to do something basic in that ecosystem and discover you have 10,000 modules in node_modules. Not so different, really, except that the Java stuff comes from a single team with a relatively coherent design philosophy.
That isn't proof of anything. It is a denial.

On the face of it Ticketmaster has very little incentive to pay artists more. They have an effective monopoly on large venues and ticket sales at this point, not to mention radio advertising and promotion, so it's not like the artists have a competitor to switch to. It's not like Blink-182 is going to just stop touring.

Once you get big enough you are pretty much forced to get into bed with Ticketmaster and take whatever deal they offer.
You can usually still go down to the venue during business hours and buy tickets without TM fees, right?

What's hilarious is when I get mad at ticketmaster for charging me convenience fees when I am actively choosing not to walk, bike, or drive down to the venue and circumvent those fees since doing so would be inconvenient. I still make that choice while shaking my fist, and bask in my irony.
As long as it's not damaging anything, why should I care about someone having cows?

Damage is obviously a problem and not the issue at hand.
I don't think any app holding my tickets should also request my entire address book and other data to give me those tickets. Otherwise it's kinda sorta fine.
I wrote my framework for this from the ground up, so it generates HTML first and then adds JS if it is enabled on the instance and/or the client wants it.

As a result, you can get pages in several flavors: "light mode", which is basically just P tags, links, and text; regular HTML mode without JavaScript but all the features, with a server round-trip; and full mode, with JavaScript enhancements, such as in-place vote buttons, dialogs which are injected into the current page without navigating away, and so on.

I think the pendulum is near the top of the "complexity" side, and about to start swinging back to the "reliability and accessibility" side, and I look forward to seeing what that can accomplish.
> the knowledge of redness purportedly does not deductively follow from the knowledge of any amount of physical facts.

Which is just a bare assertion, not an argument. Nothing in the premises of Jackson's thought experiment entails this or requires it. To a physicalist, knowledge of redness is knowledge of a physical fact, so this statement is simply false.

> surgery is the same type of invalid move

If you're hung up on the word "surgery", then eliminate it: it's just as possible that Mary could simply imagine, based on her complete knowledge of all physical facts, what it would be like for her to see red, without having to do any surgery at all. You might say this is implausible, but so is the premise that Mary has complete knowledge of all physical facts. But that's the premise of the thought experiment.

> Under dualism

Jackson's thought experiment does not prove that dualism must be true. Nor can you assume that dualism is true as a premise, since that is just a circular argument. A physicalist, like me, simply does not think dualism is true, and it is no argument against that to show what would be the case if dualism were true. You need to argue, from premises that don't already contain dualism, that dualism must be true. Jackson didn't do that. Nor do any of the other arguments described in the article, including the Knowledge Argument.
The point of government is to have a monopoly on various kinds of power and control.

It’s the core concept of the thing, with the first premise being a monopoly on violence.

It’s not hypocritical for a government to say it’s not wrong when they do violence and it is wrong when others do it.

A government may commit moral or immoral violence, or express moral or immoral values in its actions.

But it’s not hypocrisy to not want competition. It’s the point of the thing.

Concerts are in huge demand now, post-Covid. I paid way more than I should have this past year. Fans are desperate to be back. I am part of the problem. The number of top tier, establish bands still touring is very small. And they don't want to kill themselves touring every night.

Some less than ideal unorthodox solutions. 1) Go to 2nd and 3rd tier bands. Maybe not at enjoyable as Blink-182, but still good. 2) Go see cover bands. They don't need to. Support the lower tier bands, who are also very talented, enjoy the show, and pay a lot less. You will also find new music. 3) Wait a few years for the post-Covid boom to end and the recession to kick in.

It’s a bad thing because it makes music entirely unaffordable to poor people as opposed to having the initial offering as somewhat affordable and fair.

Electronic events, especially the more independent ones, release tickets in ever more expensive batches, eventually hitting them market rate.

Also systems that lock you to buying a fixed amount of tickets and then being only able to sell them for what you paid such as with RA Guide and STEP (for a burner event, Nowhere).

Allowing those with financial privilege access at the expense of those without us fundamentally antithetical to music and art.
No, I mean the older you are, the less invested you are in the long term consequences of your actions, personally.

There are other options like making some animation speeds faster (so fast that the animation is almost imperceptible) and disabling some animations in Finder. The Cocktail utility can do it, and it can be done from the terminal too.

I'm not 100% sure this is up to date, but it might be: https://osxdaily.com/2015/01/06/make-the-window-resizing-ani...

The main one is basically like this:

defaults write -g NSWindowResizeTime -float 0.003

Plus there are some more similar things you can set in `defaults`. (What the Cocktail utility is is a GUI that captures knowledge about a bunch of these settings into a convenient tool. There are other utilities like this afaik? BetterTouchTool maybe? idk.)

Then there's something called yabai which is a 'window management utility', but afaik it goes a lot deeper than other similar programs for macOS - it can disable animations and do some more stuff up to the point that you need to (partially) disable SIP to be able to make full use of it. Haven't tried but it does seems to be very worthwhile. https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai
