Roads exist. This could be paid for with taxes. Anyway, the way the technology works, the entire team target would be filled with collector antennas. I imagine they would put a fence around that area, if only to protect the receivers from wildlife.
> In March 2019, Kiwi Farms republished both the livestream and the manifesto of Brenton Tarrant, the perpetrator of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings. Shortly after, website owner Joshua Moon publicly denied a request by New Zealand Police to voluntarily hand over all data on posts about the shooting, including the email and IP addresses of posters. Moon responded aggressively and mockingly, calling New Zealand a "shithole country", and stated that he did not "give a single solitary fuck what section 50 of your faggot law says about sharing your email".

The law won’t work here. They don’t care about the law.
Then how do you decide what is (or should be) a right and what is not? Suppose someone claims a right to gay marriage, or a right to employ only people of their race, or a right to bear arms - how does society (the citizenry, the legislature, and/or the courts) decide whether that is indeed a right?

Absent a holy constitution given to us by the divine, the way we decide what is and isn't a right is we look at its effect. Places that recognize a right to bear arms, for instance, do so because they believe that arming the citizenry protects them against abuses of the government. Places that don't do so because they believe that disarming the citizenry protects them against crimes from other citizens. To the extent that one of these views is correct and the other is not, it is not because they guessed wrong about the nature of the universe - it is because one argument is correct and another is not.

Free speech is not axiomatic. Free speech is a right (and I agree it is a right!) because it has particular positive effects on society, through the benefits of open and unfiltered public discourse.

And the same reasoning helps us define exactly what "free speech" is. We make significant restrictions on free speech - classified information, copyright and trademark law, slander and tortious interference, electioneering laws, unauthorized practice of medicine or law, fraud, etc. - in the expectation that those restrictions serve to benefit society, and in the understanding that if we were to allow these forms of speech, they wouldn't really serve the goals which we see free speech, overall, as helping. If I were to say "I am a licensed doctor and I think you should take two pounds of Vitamin D a day," we understand that the benefit of me adding that statement to the public discourse is nil, and the harm is great, and so we don't recognize that as protected by free speech.
But do these tiny homes appreciate faster than minimum wage?!?

Jokes aside, here in the US it's hard to find a place to park your tiny home. I wish there were upscale mobile home parks, or that towns would let you utilize an empty lot for such homes. With van life homelessness at an all time high, I can't imagine that you can go many places without people being up in arms that you're encroaching on their properties, going to dump sewage, cause a fire, or drive their property values down.

I'd love to downscale to something more my size and have the ability to relocate at will, but I remain in my current home because I know that I can't be kicked out on a whim.
it does, if you visit the "For you" tab in your dashboard you should see new releases from repos you've starred.
> No, I'm merely making the argument that spam control tools are not censorship because the user decides.

You stated no point.

You're trying to ignore the fact that businesse relationships require all parts to participate voluntarily.

If one part tries to abuse the terms of those services then service providers are free to not continue with the business arrangement.

Not continuing a business arrangement is not censorship.

Are we supposed to feign ignorance and claim terms of service don't exist anymore?

>* It's a case of asserting that an app does something just because it technically could*

Security should always be considered with what can technically could be done given the current code/permission/etc. Anything else is piss poor security practice.

>It's like demanding a folder encryption app rebrand itself as ransomware because it links against crypto libraries and has the file access permission, or a navigation app as "24/7 tracking app for stalkers" because it has a both GPS location and Internet access.

Not even close. Both your forced analogies involve something inherently negative ("ransomware", "for stalkers"). Google is not forcing this app to call themselves "malware" or anything like the situation in your examples, nor is Google asking the company to rename their application.
Lawmakers know about this kind of shenanigans. What you describe is the kind of thing which ends poorly for the person who thinks they have a cunning plan for getting away with $act.
I wonder how much classified data is stored in random spreadsheets on O365 secured by basic auth.
I forget the name but during the dot-com era there was a company who sold stuff like TVs at vastly inflated prices (something like 10x retail) to consumers on the premise that they could get a 100% rebate by mailing in a form thus making the purchase "for free".

Their business model was based on the assumption that a percentage of customers would forget to do this. Unfortunately, when hundreds or thousands of $ is on the line, people were very diligent! Unsurprisingly that company didn't last long.
>Powerful AI codebase or service: Generic.

Generic means it can do a nearly unlimited list of things good and bad right?

Just like a human can do a list of nearly unlimited things?

Humans, because they can do both good and bad have laws they must follow if they do bad, right?

Then what are you suggesting for AI?
What was the point of "over the shoulder?" Did you do that to avoid blame? Or avoid someone outside the team seeing code review comments? This smacks of cultural fear.

Can you pop open an un-audited video session and have the reviewer drive while they inspect and talk about what they see?
Then you should research it before commenting.

Maybe you're not aware, but when an ISP receives a load of hate mail saying "cut off this site" this mail is received by a human who has a chance to check out the site and decide whether it is so evil it should be cut off, or whether the haters are just full of shit.

We aren't even talking about a mere repository of hateful information - in terms of badness, Kiwifarms isn't like a Nazi's Guide to Killing Untermensch. Even that could probably find hosting somewhere on the internet. It's a level above that. This was a forum for coordinating tracking down and harassing people in real life and keeping them in constant fear until they commit suicide. That's the point. They do it for fun.
not to mention all your knowledge of wood won't be completely irrelevant in 5 years.
Magnetissimo did this too, and he's still around.
Interesting that some people can turn it around. I believe the benefits of sun are maybe poorly understood for now, and I maybe spent too many decades hiding from the sun entirely, as a fair-skinned person, tracking the UV index a little too closely.

That said, I've also read that heat can make MS symptoms worse. I anecdotally get a bit weird in the heat. So, I thought maybe I'd stick to colder, cloudier places. But maybe that's wrong, and I should get a sunny, not-so-hot place. Maybe that only leaves California, or I can stop wearing coats in winter to get some rays at a low temperature :)
These look wonderful. Sadly the introductory pages which seem to show/explain theory and techniques are probably not understandable without translation. Is there already a project working on this?
How about:

lsp-mode does not depend on helm or hydra, or anything else really. There are optional packages that allow it to work better with those systems though.

Yes, that would have to be changed by legislation requiring a utility to not do that.
Last I checked, Kiwifarms was accessible intermittently on Tor and it contained pretty much the content described.

What if it's not a targeted harassment campaign and the site really is evil?
Those have been vouched for
They claim it will be such a wide beam that it won't matter (multiple square miles of beam per city).

I haven't done the math, but it sounds wrong to me too. It would be nice if they provided actual wattage in the same units that are currently used for consumer devices, like cell phones.
I have read all the article. Just a question arose: do we really need 8k TV?

> …Facebook parent company Meta says Canada’s proposed Online News Act falsely presumes that it “unfairly benefits from its relationship with publishers.”

Great, I hope the Online News Act passes and this is tested. Facebook built a for-profit Skinner box on the backs of commercial and user-generated content that they paid virtually nothing for, and now they're simultaneously threatening countries over proposed legislation while telling news organizations that "most people do not come to Facebook for news"¹.

The sexual assault claim from Moon is actually based on a story from a Zurich Google employee associated with Liz Fong-Jones that accused her of "violating consent" due to dog hair. It's a story Liz posted herself on Twitter back then and KF picked up with archives as proof, so it's not completely made up because Moon wanted to.

Means he can put up (if his site was actually online). But stuff like this clearly shows a conflict in interest between Liz and Moon, hence what makes this story even more complicated.
I think it is the general incompetence of the "academia + R&D biz + regulation pipeline". (In the land of the blind the one-eyed is king, etc.)

It's sort of inevitable in such a non-teleological process. As in each step in it serves its own purpose, and so the whole thing doesn't really serve the purpose that we like to assume for it - ie. give us great thoughtful inventions. That's why it took so long to stop the Theranos train, that's why it takes so fucking long to roll out polyvalent vaccines (ie. all-in-one vaccines), and so on. (I'm picking on medtech here but there are many others, the Boeing + FAA MCAS fuckup, the absolute limpdick paralysis of nuclear power - it needed a combination of half the world on fire + prelude-to-WWIII to get it moving again, and so on.)
I find it utterly astounding that not a single government has started an email service yet for its citizens, with all the legal protections of actual mail and such.

They wouldn't even need to run it, just create a legal category like "This account is officially registered to X and serves as a legal email account" that companies can apply for if they meet some standards.
And what point of the acceptable use policy of Zayo does KiwiFarms break? In any case, is there a point at which it's impossible to have another private company provide you services and you'd consider it censorship?
it's the other way around, you can discriminate against arseholes

there's specific prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of certain categories
interesting, considering FB stated stances re piracy
Because society/people are good at adaptation. Currently, the misinformation problem is big, but it’s not so big that it’s obvious to even the dumbest people… or at the very least it’s too recent a phenomenon for most people to have fully grasped it yet.

It’s like advertisements. Banner ads used to be very effective, but they were so pervasive that now people are blind to them. Doesn’t matter how big and flashy it is, most people will literally not see it because their brain is blocking it out somehow.

Personally, whenever I see something outrageous on social media, my immediate reaction is always “this is probably fake, and someone is trying to make me angry”. Not because I’m actively trying to remain skeptical, but because I’ve been on the internet long enough to have experienced being misled by similar stuff.

If you burn your hand touching a hot stove, you learn to be careful around stoves for the rest of your life. Sure, you can learn that lesson without having to burn your hand, but if you need a guarantee that the lesson is learned, getting burned will do that.

I bet they’re quickly fading away. I always got a chuckle out of credit card processor salespeople coming to my studio. They would act like their stuff was a good deal and were usually clueless about Square. One lady balked at Square’s transaction fee being slightly lower and said I’d make it up with a lower monthly fee. What she was selling “only” had a fee of something like $100-$200 a month.

When I told her I had absolutely no monthly fee she essentially just walked out the door herself, and that’s the only time I’ve seen a salesperson do that.

Again, I'm merely saying that spam control is not censorship. Your argument about participating in business relationships might have merit, but it is a different argument.

Kiwifarms users are engaging in vigilantism against their targets, and it's not even vigilantism for a real crime - it's vigilantism for the "crime" of being transgender.
Lots of your code is library code that everybody uses...

And lots of your code has similar hot paths to everyone elses code. It turns out that `for x in pixels { }` is probably going to be a hot loop... But `for x in serial_ports { }` probably isn't a hot loop...
Thanks!

Does fanotify fix those issues?
I am also happy and optimistic with the news, mate.
Well, at which extent this applies to our current case ?
Or is it just a way to look smart, by just citing a famous reference without contextualising to our current issue ?
Not according to Cloudflare. Ironically, once Kiwifarms started harassing Cloudflare employees that's when Cloudflare removed them.

Unpoly does this.
Sampling some directories and files in the test suite of this project, I see a problem: testing is done by translating C to rust and compiling it, and then testing the run-time behavior of the result. I don't see test cases which cover the behavior of the translator directly: like that a certain C language input maps to a certain Rust output.
Whatever happened with polarized light? I recall at one point them deciding it needed either a different chemical formula for the fiber or tighter tolerances on the surface? Either way the problem was that yes they could shove more bandwidth down the pipe but you needed to run new fiber to get it. I didn’t hear anything after that.
Agree, you should be so proficient at coding that the actual coding part of programming is intuitive so you can focus on the much more difficult task of where/how/why that code is going to run.
The biggest question to ask yourself is what are the failure modes you're worried about?

Redux isn't going to suddenly go offline, because it's running in the same process as your UI code. Redundancy therefore buys you nothing. The important failure modes in single-process UI code are all logic errors, and the best defense against those is to reduce the amount of unnecessary logic: so use a single source of truth.

With a database, the failure modes are very different. You're using a battle-hardened database whose logical consistency you have every reason to trust. The biggest failure modes are driven by the fact that you're running on a network, and networks are flaky. The best mitigation against these failures is to run redundant copies and trust that the database authors got their syncing code right.
I got most of my rebates at Frys back, but tried to avoid those purchases because of the hassle. I will never forget though the rebate that Microsoft refused to honor for the joystick I bought as a kid.
Not difficult to do in some academic way, but often demanding of your attention in boring ways (writing tests, handling errors, etc.) that the developer in it for the money isn't able to commit to.
It did, and for a while my following tab was flooded with updates from repos I've starred. I've starred so many repos over the years it made it impossible to see updates related to my stuff. I think that is why the For You was created, I assume people complained.
I wonder if it would be cheaper to build floating nuclear reactors in international waters, then sink a cable back to shore.

The idea isn't to improve safety; instead it would be to avoid cost overruns and delays by bypassing regulators.

I suspect it would accidentally improve safety as a side effect, but I am a cynic.
For those afraid of nuclear energy, I recommend to look for 'thorium nuclear energy' (and other modern technologies) in the youtube/internet.
There is enough repeat offenders that you can't let them do just anything. I don't know what the right answer is, but it isn't easy.
"I think people will adapt by finally doing the thing they should have been doing all along: don't trust anything they see on the internet."

I'm pessimistic on this. There is the question around people's ability to adapt well to this, but maybe more fundamental, trust the internet is all-permeating now. What's not "the internet" these days? All media that distribute news are on the internet. May this be the New York Times or Twitter. Even more traditional publications get news from Twitter. On the other hand, are your friends on Facebook the internet? How about when you call them?

Not sure what the solution here is. Going back to a few networks that show news at 8pm?

I've recently been thinking about the possibility of a social platform that rewards things like providing additional sources for or against things others posted.

I think all of this is gonna be a defining struggle of our time.
Perhaps a better approach would be some sort of per-library profile?
Part of the disconnect you appear to be experiencing is the inability to take this just beyond "draw a picture". You seemed to have missed out on software driven machine control and decision making. Of course you may not mind whom the drone decides to kill as long as you're not the target.

Also you seem to be affected by American sensibilities. If your AI decides to go full hiel in Germany you may find that the authorities have a lot of talk about with you.
If we could mostly have synthetic food, then that would free a lot of very energy inefficient farmland.
We certainly are in an era of hyper polarization. I blame the social media algorithms. It maximizes engagement.

That being said I don’t think this line of thinking applies to Kiwi Farms. There are loads of conservative mags and podcasts and blogs online that argue against e.g. aspects of the trans movement. They do not get kicked off their ISPs because they do not doxx and cyberbully people to the point of suicide.

The way many of these keyboards work with layering makes it a functional requirement rather than a choice. For the (very) premium price, I would rather they include the additional keys and let me decide if I want to utilize layering. I have enough low-utilization keys that I want always accessible without any impediment.

My desk is not space constrained such that an additional physical row or two of keys is going to make my workspace unusable. If I choose to embrace layering and never use the F-keys, fine. However, if I want to only ever utilize 12 keys and do some monstrous chording setup, also an option.
How do you feel about dairy cows being separated from their young after birth?

It turns out, they've managed to gather a lot of data quite on the impacts of infant separation in cows (I wonder how that happened?). To sum up, separating them almost immediately after birth results in less psychological trauma than separating them after a few days. Letting them stay together for much longer promotes better long-term health outcomes for both the mother and calf, but dairies are not equipped for that.

> Separating the calf from the cow shortly after birth is a routine practice on dairy farms around the world. In brief, calves are separated from their dams within a few hours following birth and then housed in a separate location and fed artificially (with milk or milk replacer). Advocates of this practice argue that it prevents cow and calf from forming a strong bond, and thus reduces the stress associated with separation when it does occur. The results from a series of studies on the short-term acute affects support this claim (e.g. [21,22,23]). Other arguments in support of early separation include better supervision of calf colostrum and milk intake [24]. One economic argument frequently presented by farmers is that the practice facilitates harvesting the maximum amount of milk available for sale [25]. Moreover, currently used housing and husbandry systems are not designed for keeping cow-calf pairs, making a change in practice difficult. Others have also argued that immediate separation reduces the risk of disease transfer to the calf, including paratuberculosis [26].

> Arguments for later separation emphasize allowing more natural living of cow and calf [25], including emotional benefits for both [27]. Furthermore, some research has shown biological benefits for calves, including better weight gains [28] and fewer bouts of diarrhea when separated later [21], as well as improved udder [29] and uterine health [24] for cows.

It's vigilantism in the sense that people are trying to take down their service on every possible layer (in this case: peering/infrastructure) but no one is willing to make a legal case against them.
I believe the parent comment was implying vigilantism on the part of ISPs/providers for the actions they’ve taken against KF.

I agree that the participants there are engaging in something closer to vigilantism, although I don’t think they actually believe they have a righteous cause, they’re just unabashedly intolerant and enjoy harassing people which is something else.
