As for what happens next: de-globalisation

I predict we'll see blocks forming up again, something like:
- West (US+EU)
- East (China+Russia)
- India (India, Sri Lanka, Himalayan States, South China states)
- Middle (Middle East+North Africa)
- Latam (Central + South American States)

One wild card IMO would be the rise of the Indian sphere of influence. I'll leave some room for India's remarkable ability to snatch defeat form the jaws of victory. If they don't f this up, they have UUUGE tailwinds going for them.

Middle east is overrated IMO, its like an oasis with oil instead of water. When the oil money runs out, not gonna be fun any more.

Latam is probs the biggest wildcard, even bigger than India. They don't need a lot of things to be right to wildly outperform as a block. Just like the US, they are protected by two oceans so they can choose to not involve themselves in stuff.

Africa is highly overrated IMO, the entire continent is cursed in multiple ways. If u compare africa to another post colonial continent like Latam, africa is in a place where they need to get so many things right to just survive, let alone to catch up.
You’d be surprised how far you can get with an ESP32-S3, the Xtensa LX7 is a weird little chip, but surprisingly can be quite powerful. Though I’m biased of course because we use them to their limits at work!

Old answer: Excellent. That’s how it should be done. So many people seem to ignore things browsers already tell the server.
No, that’s not what this is referring to, since that doesn’t involve blocking IPs. This page[1] provides some detail:

> A recent change goes a step further and sends a UDP packet to my OpenBSD firewall containing the IP to be banned, and a small Ruby server running there adds the IP to a pf table, immediately blocking all further IP access from the bot.

An Essay on Three Films That Changed My Life in 2022
>I have never used any version control system

How?

Anway, git is the most standralized one, hence you should try learning it. You can look at git-scm docs, experience with some repositories, use your own repo and things that make you use git.
All closed source and network connected software/devices can be, and often are, used to spy on users; all of them, not just Microsoft products and not just when used by kids in schools. The sooner they realize this, the better. No need for conspiracy theories here: user profiling is already a well established business model even where there aren't other motivations to exfiltrate personal information.
I think the OP is leaving out some of the other steps they also take. The tables give you common language for talking about the entities involved in the business logic that actually does the work.

Though I think I agree with you anyway, it is a chicken and egg problem. You can't know all things you will need schema for until you understand the businss logic requirements well, but it's hard to talk about those requirements without a common language for the entities in the business.
Ghana GDP is 77.59 billion USD. That's almost 2 Twitters :) .

Ghana is not triggering any chain reactions.
For two parties to transact in dollars they need either to physically hold large amounts of dollars. Or have access to some shared ledger that is accounting system where transactions can happen.

Say A, B, C account. A sells gold and get dollars from account B to account A. And now they can buy oil from owner of account C.

But who owns and runs these accounts or the transactions between them? One option is SWIFT system. Which Russia got excluded in some capacity from. As such it is clear that system cannot be trusted. Value of dollars there are very unlikely to be good for long term. And same applies to any accounts in banks in western influence sphere.

Thus directly transacting is better option in long run. For any country that wants to keep their economy stable.
I use git graph (VS Code Extension). It is very visual and you can interact with git functionality through the tree visualisation itself.

All that said, it's not clear that this raspberry pi unit has any kind of flash mode, so the price difference vs. the industry-standard Sekonic 308 ($200) becomes less favorable.

While the locale implies a country, it does not imply its currency. Many people set their conputers to en-US without ever living there.

It's a hack in my book, but it's the best hack I could come up with.
RMB is a terrible candidate for a reserve currency. If you are concerned about the US meddling with their currency, you will not pick a historically manipulated currency like the RMB. Moreover, in China transactions over 8k USD have to be reported and there is a 50k USD currency exchange limit. The governments managing of outflows hardly gives confidence that the currency is one people want to hold.

One of other comments pointed out that there's another site, which to me seems to point towards a more straight forward explanation, but I'd like do address your doubts here anyway.

There are various interest group associations, which can work towards a surprisingly generic goals. One interesting example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8416853 (with all the caveats mentioned in comments).

Good question! Right now the client and server talk over HTTP using routes that conform with the Activity Pub spec (everything resource under `/ap` on the server should be a valid Activity Stream document conforming to Activity Pub spec).

However:

1) this isn't tested with any other Activity Pub client, so there are probably some implementation differences (errors) to iron out.

2) Currently the server doesn't implement the full Activity Pub protocol, so an existing client will probably make calls that will 404.

3) The server doesn't use any kind of authentication becasue Chatter Net doesn't rely on any server authentication. Clients authenticate messages based on signatures, so it doesn't really matter where the messages come from. Activity Pub doesn't seem to say anything about how authentication should work, so this should in theory be compatible. But in practice, existing Activity Pub implementations seem to rely on certain authentication patterns.

But I would definitely like to get the project to be compatible Fediverse clients. So this is something I want to work towards.

> The hegemony of the dollar as a reserve currency is finally coming to an end, and while many will disagree with my opinion, I believe it's a very good thing for the world.

Yeah ideally, I agree that some competition might be good to keep US in check. Chinese Yuan seems most likely at this point.

But I think the world would be in a “worse” place when the break happens. Purely due to geopolitical instability and all the second order effects that is bound to happen when US hegemony ends.

Most developers I have worked with in the corporate world refuse to put things in writing. I have found the people that cannot write also cannot plan or architect software, which is then predictive of the output quality, process, and speed of delivery. It seems this is a form of executive functioning that when absent limits approaches to known patterns and oral discussions.
Exception proving the rule?

There’s regulation, there’s fines, there’s enforcement. Waste management companies do try to avoid those, and in some cases with big success. But some business trying their ways out of the laws, is very different from there being no law, no enforcement, no reporting, and bad management just being normal.

I know people that worked in waste management companies, and lawsuits for bad management are real, and most operations run legally, but there is just huge amount of money to in some ocasions break the law. So the big shots call the big shot. Immoral and unethical move, but most people working there don’t get enough opportunities outside those companies so , they just follow along the big shot call. I do know some that left because of not wanting to lie if a lawsuit came. “I want to sleep at night with clean conscience “ . There’s plenty of FAANG engineers with plenty of opportunities outside, but it’s better to do some very ethical questionable stuff there.

The thing is, you can only hide illegal stuff if most of the work you do is legal. But what if you don’t need to hide because there’s no laws or no enforcement? That’s the scenario on plenty of developing nations, the scale of bad waste disposal is just different.

Same with “recycle your clothes” that some fast fashion brands do and pay with vouchers, is just green washing marketing shit to just burn them in international waters.

Free trade between the worlds nations is very pretty, but when accountability is very different in different country you get shit like that. Just outsource illegal stuff.

( on a side note There’s plenty of FAANG engineers with plenty of opportunities outside, but it’s better to do some very ethical questionable stuff there. sure if your visa depends on the job it’s one thing, but plenty can just leave, but paycheck is too good or lifestyle was so inflated, that questionable development is the only thing that pays the bills)
How to leave Twitter but keep your followers
Not sure I agree. Programming is honestly not an easy skill anyone can pick up
The issue is primarily with sorting and contamination, such as different coloured bottles going on to the same batch meaning that resultant material won't be as clear. 10 years ago rPET containers were slightly foggy, but now it's virtually impossible to tell the difference by just looking - that's how far the infrastructure has come in a short period of time.

Have a look at https://egreen.co.uk/brochure/index.html#p=32 for an example of clear drinks cups made from 100% post consumer waste.

Polymers can degrade, but if it's well managed then generally not a problem and I think it can be recycled more times than paper. Each time that is processes the fibres are broken so it the strength is affected. The lowest grade is toilet tissue which has almost no strength compared to something like virgin Kraft with very long fibres.

One thing to consider is recycling is advancing at a phenomenal rate, what was the case five years ago may no longer be an issue.

One critical point to note is legality.
In practice it matters whether a spy agency needs to go in covertly (via technology or human means) or whether a random police station in rural Illinois can just send a quick mail and get data of German citizens immediately.

In fact, in many cases it's beneficial for states to share data with other countries, but they want that to happen on the basis of laws, cooperation and in a two way fashion.

Unilateral laws such as the CLOUD act are a problem.
If that was the case, two different connection methods would make sense, not using Ethernet x2 which is what's happening here. Being able to daisy-chain cameras seems more likely.
Ironic, considering that they have previously have a solution to this (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/azure/ger..., double-irony since that this is essentially Azure China EUified), but maybe it's for the best.

Also, I think that this is actually old news already, I remember hearing Hesse banning (then) Office 365 years ago, is this a new decision?
I remeber reading that Aristotle was the last person who comprehended entire human knowledge of his time.

But I think Artistotle is so respected in the West since Enlightment. He put an emphasis on free will and human choice in oposition to Plato.

Christianity, Islam and all other totalitarian ideologies (Nazism, Bolshevism, American Exceptionalism, Green Transformation) are neo-platonian in essence as they are based on imperative of "leading people out of cave into the light" by coercion if necessary...

Aristotle is remedy for that so democracy, tolerance and humanity are based on respect for Aristotles thought.
Wow. To summarize: Listening to Taylor Swift (in a NPR) can lead to the destruction of humanity!

i'm in a cycle. i quit software eng job hating everything, everbody, and software engineering (which i very like). i go to work away from computers. my happines goes up, my optimism goes up, making software makes me happy. then i say to myself: i am good working with people. if i can do it here then i can do it in an IT company. The IT company turnouts as an unorganized mess with dumb people pretending to be experts.

We should absolutely complain about megacorporations buying up and destroying our culture. You'd think it would be commonly accepted now that "you should have known better" is not a realistic approach to consumer protection.

To explain further, HT is unable to compose complex valued functions - it is only a complete system for real valued functions, that is: R -> R. So naturally, it's simpler, because it's less expressive.

Let me wow you since HT is not even on the map of exotic or alternative wavelet decompositions.

For example, Hermite transform: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermite_transform

or if looking in the discrete space:

It’s amazing how the first sentence declares the headline a lie already:

> The […] state of Hesse’s […] DPA […] has banned the use of Microsoft 365 in its schools

Which is a headline that could be argued about, but it’s at least not flag-worthy bullshit.
> though i think a lot of it has to do with the moral case for working with a company linked so closely to what's happening in Xinjiang

I think it's perfectly fine to boycott a company for unethical practices. I'm actually for boycotting them for ethical reasons. I dislike how security gets muddied with ethical things. People dislike a company and then throw whatever they can at them to see what sticks.

I read the report, it states:

> There is no direct evidence in the public domain that Hikvison or Dahua provide data to the Chinese state or that their security vulnerabilities are exploited by Beijing.

They are insecure anyway, with many exploits discovered, but a quick search tells me that is the case for many CCTV cameras. The takeaway should be that all CCTV cameras are insecure and should be setup in private networks with no access to the internet. The security should be happening at a different architectural level regardless of who the supplier is.

The choice to boycott a supplier for ethical reasons should be separate. Just my opinion of course.
Disagree a bit here. The Bible and other religious texts were not necessarily decrees by "hostile overlords", they were the back-then equivalent of what we would call a Constitution these days - the foundational rules of society. Particularly what Christians call the "Old Testament", the Jews the Torah and whatever Muslims call the foundations prior to Quran today... it's essentially the same text, the same rules.

It's micro-managing every aspect of their lives to the same degree modern laws do - everything from a basic criminal code (Ten Commandments) over food safety laws (e.g. the ban for Jews and Muslims to eat pork) and employment regulation (work-free Sabbath) to providing answers to specific legal questions (inheritance, paying damages for livestock or raped women) and prescribing religious rituals. Even how to properly wage war was written down there... all of that was stuff the old tribes learned the hard way or decided upon and documented. For the Quran, a good example for that is the love of Prophet Muhammad on cats - the tribes learned that cats keep grain storages free from pests!

The problem is that over the millennia, the original context of these rules being tribally discussed and agreed-upon laws or some of these being the documentation of dispute resolutions got lost, and dogmatic / religious interpretations took favor, leading to entrenchment of rules that no longer made any sense (e.g. the mentioned pork ban or ridiculous interpretations of the work-free Sabbath). Additionally, some of the contents got lost or modified in translation - the best example is the "72 virgins" that await a Muslim martyr in heaven, which may very well have rather meant "vine grapes" [1]. FWIW, the Christian "New Testament" can also be seen as a reform-oriented amendment of the Torah.

Religious texts make way more sense when viewing them as "this is the collection of hundreds or thousands of years of tribal knowledge, order and jurisprudence", which is (IMO as an atheist) the only way these texts should be interpreted as. And yet, it still makes sense to also see the part of the rules and regulations that haven't gotten outdated as a foundation of how even our modern societies should look like (e.g. parts of the Ten Commandments, Jesus' teachings on how to view and help the poor and discriminated).

When your neighbor Joe in his 1987 Buick run over your cat, you know he has 2 mortgages on his house and wife with cancer. When a self driving car runs over your cat or ding your fence post, you will gladly sue the multi billion dollar company, just for the settlement money. It will unleash the neverending stream of lawsuits and companies will be forced to stop offering self driving or go bankrupt. Yeah, they can afford best lawyers, but not 500 new lawsuits every day.
I know a few people who are in the AV/low voltage installing business. They said it’s been going around that CCP can access the cameras remotely and/or get video off them.
