Leaving aside for a moment who is and is not civilized, there's at least one point where a person's self interest and their government's interest in secrecy might align in suicide: when the agent is faced with torture. The agent would want to avoid serious pain that might end in their being killed anyway, and the government would like to keep what secrets they might reveal. Without fanaticism, there is pain I would die to avoid.

As far as the West being an enlightened civilization, Alberto Gonzalez' defense of U.S. torture relevantly suggests to me that civilization only goes so far.
That sort of hypocrisy is pretty common for totalitarian regimes regardless of religious affiliation, the children of their high ranking leaders often spend most of their life enjoying the luxuries of liberal societies.

That said, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE are especially problematic for Iranian leaders because Iran's official sect of Islam is opposed to that of those countries.
That study basically says it will make your child better at school, and develops executive function earlier, which according to their results has no correlation with academic success.

If you want a child to be better at school, conditioning them early to choose from a constrained set of tasks with natural progression seems like a good way to make it comfortable for them.
The British term "middle-class" is weird, because "upper-class" pretty much refers to nobility. Unless your ancestors have a nice pride of place in the Domesday-book, you are unlikely to ever consider yourself or be considered "upper"...

More severe, perhaps, but not obviously including what happened here: starring other people’s repos is neither reading nor writing to your repos.
I think people is "the west" wanted to see him tried in a court rather than impaled and summarily shot. The whole Western bombing campaign happened specifically because Gaddafi was waging war on the civilian population.

Then you would only be able to do fraction of functionality JACK provides you. May be enough for the most simple use-cases, but people who reach for JACK aren't usually after those.
Good. So the invasive tracking that TikTok and every other social network does in Europe should also be illegal as well then? If not, then is it's only a matter of time and eventual enforcement and outlawing this behaviour for everyone.

Should not be just Meta; we need to go further and cover all social networks.
So they have something you own, they broke into your phone, and they have something you know, they brute forced your PIN.

How is that not still 2FA?

If someone breaks into your computer and you happen to have written down all your 2FA setup codes in a text file, you’re still using 2FA even though they now have access to your codes.

I don’t fully know the mechanics of the Secure Enclave or Android equivalent but I would be surprised if it allowed exporting private keys without some form of authentication, separate from unlocking your phone. You have to reauthenticate each time you use your passkey, likely on purpose.

The UK is one of the best positioned countries in the world in terms of natural wind resource.

This is because large parts of the north sea are shallow/have banks that very large offshore wind farms can be built on.

No terrain to get in the way, no people to object about it being close to their house.

Scotland is also windy and not that populated and so has quite a few onshore farms.

Eg see.

In UK wind is actually broadcasted to take over. After the new line connecting with Norway (for hydro storage) the majority of investments are going into wind.
On Nuclear, I think right now there is 1 big nuclear plan offline for maintenance so there might be some of that too.

In the Mediterranean area, while there is more prevalence of solar, it's not a clear winner either. For instance in Italy there is quite an aggressive law on usage of agricultural space for big solar farms.
Solar will win in the decentralized, domestic space, an area that I'm highly interested in.
At scale, Wind seems to offer a better ROI, especially on country on the coast line (or other favourable morphological characteristic)

I'm heavily looking to switch to work on the space (from more traditional consumer products), but it's a more full stack space: software is written as a byproduct of the hardware. unfortunately I haven't found any Electrical engineering interesting in doing something in the space. Shameless plug if there is someone out there interested.

Unless you have a couple million dollars burning a hole in your pocket and 5-10 years you'd like to spend in court, good luck suing Microsoft. The US Justice Dept couldn't even get a meaningful result in their antitrust case. The courts exist to protect these multinationals, not for you.
> So... Should we ban alcohol, tobacco, cars and force everyone to wear helmets?

All of these things that you mentioned are regulated, some more strictly than others. "ban or permit freely" attitude to them is black-or-white, fallacious thinking.

None of what you wrote is on topic or refutes anything that I said above.
Mobile carriers want v6 because it saves them money. CGNAT capacity is expensive. Having native v6 means that >50% of your traffic won't need to touch the CGNAT, which reduces your costs significantly.

NAT is a necessary evil to deal with address space exhaustion in v4. NAT64 is just another application of that. In v6, when not dealing with backwards compatibility to v4, NAT is an unnecessary evil. Do you see the difference?

> And, it's a success which paves the way for practically any protocol to replace ipv6 as the real successor, like the casually thrown out ipv4.4++v2, which is getting dismissed right and left by the ipv6 people here.

It's being dismissed because it brings nothing new to the table. The people casually throwing out alternatives aren't thinking through them enough to realize that they've either come up with something that doesn't work, or they've come up with something that's basically v6 and has the same limitations v6 does. There's zero point in replacing v6 -- which 40% of the Internet's clients are already using -- with another protocol that's just as hard to deploy.

Everyone is dancing around talking about everything other than the clear issue.

If a user grants someone rights via a platform, then the explicit trust is that the granted party will abide by the platforms TOS in the same way the grantee would.

If the TOS is broken by the granted party, that is them breaking the TOS via a victims extended trust. It is not a true reflection of the situation to say that the grantee broke the TOS.

> Should all sound now go through the headphones or not?

The correct answer to that specific question: as a sane default, all sound should now go through the headphones. That's a sane default on the Iphone, probably on Macbooks, and it also happens to be the one that at least a stock Gnome or Ubuntu desktop chooses. In fact I have trouble thinking of a saner default than that one!

Forgetting about sane defaults seems to be a common problem in FOSS communication. It's unfortunate, because describing something as unknowable can convince a new developer to avoid inspecting the code around that particular problem.

E.g., it took a long time for Gnome to get the sane default I describe above. I'd bet that lurking in the appropriate mailing list history is at least one didactic post from an audio developer explaining how we can never truly know what a user's preferred setup could be.
why not? US population seems to be 40 to 60% for each side, oscillating during the years.
Fascinating!

The data shows pretty clearly that combined-cycle gas turbines are still THE type of power stations that are used to balance the supply and demand, but solar is already helping a lot during the day.

French data shows gas power stations produce up to 9GW (~13%), and without solar they would be used to produce 12.5GW (~19%).
> Credit card reward systems & points are not free.

I always treat them as a system for the corruption of myself. They pay me to use their card (for a payment!!!) and therefore I get corrupted and I become part of the problem.
Lower taxes for the rich?
HN doesnt tell you the state of your account. In fact, I don't know of any service that says that they do.
Productivity sets the upper limit on wages so nothing really groundbreaking here.
What you call competition other might call race to the bottom.

It doesn't take a genius to see the problem either, look at companies like airbnb who barely pay any tax in countries they operate in because technically they just have a "customer service office" in said country while the money is moved to Luxembourg, Ireland, &c.
Elul was a Christian above all, so you can maybe understand it in that sense?
I hope Facebook doesn't survive another 5. But I won't hold my breath.

Still amusing just a few years ago Facebook was described as a world government due to the influence they had. Maybe they still have that, but I've just detached myself from it to see it.
The UK is too northerly and has too little spare land for solar to dominate (it will of course still play a large role). Wind is where it’s at. The UK has a vast and windy offshore domain.
That's exactly what a parvenu would say. Not the done thing, old chap. Too chippy. You won't be invited to the best parties with that attitude.

Isn't that some sort of fallacy?

Just because they are respected doesn't mean something else they are doing is wrong.

560,000 views, times a minimum of one man-minute wasted (that's just the intro, I didn't let the person waste away any rest of my life) is 1 man-year and 23 man-days of collectively wasted time, just to add a couple extra dollars of ad revenue.

This person is saying that he values a couple of extra dollars and not the one resource that you can't get more of: time in your life.
I don't believe it's a full rewrite. From Neovim's Vision statement:

"Neovim is a refactor, and sometimes redactor, in the tradition of Vim (which itself derives from Stevie). It is not a rewrite but a continuation and extension of Vim."

Ideally you'd have a mix since they anticorrelate. If it's generally sunny when there's little wind and windy when cloudy why wouldnt you?

(this is one reason why the amount of storage required for an all solar/wind grid is usually vastly overestimated).
I grew up with Harry Potter and now I express that I eventually became a wizard. I just scribble runes onto paper, then do clicky-clacks on my keyboard translating the runes into spells and make machines do magic.
Fair enough, but unlike most fingerprinting techniques used for ad targeting this doesn’t correlate across different apps or websites.

And if it reduces the usage of systems like “Sign in with Facebook” or “Sign in with Google” across sites then that is also a privacy win.
Yes. I have tried this in multiple production apps (including legacy monoliths). As a result, the team was able to identify and fix about 1000 vulnerabilities in the projects.
The near-inverse of Montessori is Waldorf, which is based on the work of Rudolf Steiner.

If Montessori is skilled guides redirecting children to a constrained set of works until those kids do it themselves, Waldorf is a magical fairy godmother cuing children by song and felted puppets to engage their imagination in story and play.

Both seem to have value. I believe Montessori’s methods feel so robotic in America because America is not early 20th century Europe, where so much magic, song, and fantasy was already an omnipresent part of the culture.
You’ve linked an article about a doctrine specific to patent law. Does not apply here. Also, it only speculates that it might be in issue in an acquisition of a subsidiary (vs. a direct merger).
What is irresponsible is not teaching the public what is coming. The press is currently not doing a good job of explaining what chatGPT is and how it works so that people can assess what to expect of it.

>It would be so fun to be in IT in Russia right now. Software and film piracy is now completely legal because

I'm in EU, not in Russia and still pirate stuff. Granted, it's all for private use.

I think what you mean is that now companies in Russia are free to pirate everything for professional/corporate use as well.
An unfortunate Russian citizen here. I left Russia in 2006, but the passport is still like an iron beam on my neck.

And you would also get the exit ban. FYI, people who worked for Russian biggest banks are now banned from leaving the country, and that is not only IT, real bankers are banned from leaving as well.

Owners of biggest commercial enterprises, and their children were also forbidden from leaving.

Russian FOREX, and crossborder transactions are nominally still open, but any outgoing transaction over $10,000 triggers an automatic account freeze.

People are also unable to sell their property. There is no official ban, but the necessary paperwork for property sale is impossible to do now.

Stock market is bust, but brokerages are also effectively shut down without declaring it publicly. Dividends are frozen because the electronic system controlling dividend transactions simply been physically switched off for months.

Russian customs enforcement always been draconian, but now it went into total overdrive, with Russia-Kazakhstan border seeing kilometres long queues because now 100% of all cars, and cargo goes through full search. People been trying to save their last money by trying to get it over the border as gold bars, only to have them seized with zero paperwork.
[I work at Stripe]
As a practical matter, this guide is somewhat misleading in the sense that it very substantially overestimates what a typical B2B SaaS business pays for Stripe.

For example:

• Cards pricing. The guide assumes a B2B SaaS business accepts 100% of payments via cards. B2B SaaS businesses on Stripe tend to encourage payments via bank transfers and other lower-cost payment method, especially for their biggest customers, and we try to make it as easy as possible for businesses to do this. Bank transfers are priced at 0.8% in the US. The guide states that “additional fees apply for bank transfers, additional payment methods”, which is not true. We encourage users to use alternative payment methods for this reason.

• Stripe Tax. The 0.5% per transaction cost is incurred only in jurisdictions where the business is obligated to collect taxes. For US-based businesses, this generally represents a very small fraction of total payment volume. (And, of course, the tax collection itself is mandatory, and so some tax provider or calculation engine presumably has to be paid for.)

• Stripe Data Pipeline. Including this as a default cost is misleading. It isn’t. While we think it’s a great product (especially if you have a sophisticated ETL pipeline), most Stripe users don’t find themselves needing it.

More broadly, I think it’s important for onlookers to know that OP is the founder of a business that runs on Stripe and positions itself as an alternative to Stripe Billing. They seem to be trying to write deliberately-provocative posts to go viral, as described in this tweet: https://twitter.com/byAnhtho/status/1601197512227885056. Competition is good, and anyone is of course very welcome to analyze Stripe’s pricing. But, in the spirit of transparency, we’d welcome a slightly more realistic analysis.

I don't think he was threatened, Germans are far too nice to take revenge on their dictators (and he probably also doesn't quite fit the 'dictator' model this is aimed at, as I'm not aware of him having funneled large sums of money out of the country; he was a dictator because of ideology, not because he was a power-hungry cleptocrat, and he resigned before the government folded). He could've lived in Germany, his trial was abandoned, but chose Chile to join his family who had emigrated when he asked for asylum.

There are cheap s/mime CAs out there. It should be possible for LetsEncrypt to issue an s/mime cert for a domain, similar to TLS certs and verified in the same way, despite what top comments here are saying.

S/MIME being made for email, you can use port 80 ownership, or dns record ownership to verify control. And documents can be signed as originating from bob@acme.com.

I have implemented s/mime to sign documents automatically between companies. It is the best option that works by default. Powershell and openssl support it, as does outlook for email.

My guess is they don't see enough people asking for this, because those who need what you are asking don't mind paying cheap CA fees like $15/year or so.
> Because they don't refuse access

Nope; uBlock Origin will work around that as well. Skimming recent issues, in https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/15338 atozmath.com detects that people are running an ad blocker [1], explains what they're doing, and refuses access. The discussion is how to make the site think ads aren't blocked, though they haven't succeeded yet. In https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/issues/13801 there's a simpler one with https://www.magicgameworld.com where it refuses access but doesn't provide reasoning, and that one was fixed.

EDIT : > We note first of all that this technique must be implemented by the state, which alone has the means and the breadth to carry it through. But the rigorous application of the psychopedagogic technique means the end of private instruction — and therefore of a traditional freedom.

[...]

EDIT 2 : > despite all the pretentious talk about the aims of education — it is not the child in and for himself who is being educated, but the child in and for society. And the society, moreover, is not an ideal one, with full justice and truth, but society as it is.

ORIGINAL : > When a society becomes increasingly totalitarian (and I say "society,” not “state”), it creates more and more difficulties of adaptation and requires its citizens to be conformist in the same degree. Thus, this technique becomes all the more necessary. I have no doubt that it makes men better balanced and “happier.” And there is the danger. It makes men happy in a milieu which normally would have made them unhappy, if they had not been worked on, molded, and formed for just that milieu. What looks like the apex of humanism is in fact the pinnacle of human submission: children are educated to become precisely what society expects of them. They must have social consciences that allow them to strive for the same ends as society sets for itself. Clearly, when modern youth are fully educated in the new psychopedagogic technique, many social and political difficulties will disappear. Any form of government or social transformation becomes possible with individuals who have experienced this never-ending process of adaptation. The key word of the new human techniques is, therefore, adaptation, and we shall come upon it repeatedly as we consider each of these techniques separately.

P.S.: One of main gists of Ellul's thought is that the technoscientific progress results in an increasingly totalitarian society.
Transistor, information, or automation could be good I think. Another option maybe — what really distinguishes our civilization right now is that we’ve integrated out economies around the entire planet, so “global age” might be a good candidate.

Silicon is present in sand, so we’ve been using it forever in ceramics, on some level. Like copper, it has been a good friend to humanity for a very long time. The only problem is that “using lots of SI” is not a distinguishing characteristic for an age!

We call it the Iron Age because iron is a grumpy, unfriendly element that didn’t want to help out until we got some pretty fancy forges.

Maybe we could use it to mark some larger scales. Silicon age could start around 25k years ago with the invention of pottery. Before that, I dunno, fire age or rock age.
Sounds cool, except that people will get banned. I'd recommend making a menu where people can click on individual dependencies to star, or have a button to star all (but with a very clear warning about the possibilty if getting banned).
