> This all means that, whatever you’re watching on your smart TV, algorithms are tracking your habits. This influences the ads you see on your TV, yes, but if you connect your Google or Facebook account to your TV, it will also affect the ads you see while browsing the web on your computer or phone.

Definitely sucks that consumers don't really have alternative brands to choose from but personally, I don't have an issue with ad targeting and am happy to take the discount. What does bother me is that "smart" devices invariable take longer to start up than their "dumb" predecessors.

What practical things can be done once RSA is broken?
Also, Dijkstra was at the “Mathematisch Centrum” when the ARRA was being designed, and wrote agoutis design and software (https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/indexMCreps.html)

It was a 30-bit machine with 1,024 words and 2 registers, with 2 instructions per word.
Yeah, the only people benefitting from the GPL IMHO are lawyers and I'm unwilling to hoist an oppressive license onto my users. Personally, I don't think it's really open source if you're going to make me jump through licensing hoops, and if the hoops are tiny in your opinion, why have them at all? I want people to use my code, I put in the public for consumption, not for the accolades or legal battles... but that's just me.

SaaS means I don't have to manage it. I can also in theory collaborate with millions of people versus closed systems like Gitea or Gogs which is what two of the providers you mentioned are built atop. Interestingly enough, both of those projects use GitHub to build GitHub alternatives. What's good for the goose is good for the gander?

You could easily use repository dispatch with GitHub Actions on self-hosted runners (free) to perform builds on repos that live in other places, since the interface is basically a webhook/payload. The question is why would you? What is the benefit? All of them are using GitOps style practices for the build process, some of them just happen to be a little closer. I'll take YAML over Java/Groovy shared libraries any day of the week. I'd argue that Actions is better than most CI systems.
It is important to mention that inducing birth before term increases the incidence of respiratory problems in the baby (beyond the abhorrent ethical issues).

There are legitimate reasons to need to induce labor (certainly not in every case). It’s not performed for exclusively trivial reasons like circumcision for example.
Can't the BJP assign new judges that flavor them?

Authoritarian governments othen do that, like the one in Hong Kong.
I came across https://fieldgoal.io which seems like a simple no sense solution.
Fair enough, I was more focused on their misleading language and took the claim at face value.
Named by a cat walking over the keyboard.
Sure, lots of reasons.

It's not really a ridiculous strawman, it's more indicative of how ridiculous these personhood laws are. Here in Arizona (I am here), you cannot get health insurance for fetuses, nor claim as a dependent. I would expect traffic tickets for using the HOV lanes (similar to the Texas woman doing so a few months ago).

This is all political theater and it does nothing for actual life. Not to mention that 9 of the 10 worst states for maternal and fetal morbidity are red states enacting policies like this.
Just pointing to my previous comment in the chain, specifically: I don't think one could reasonably simplify the content of this paper in a way that you'd find interesting for what you're looking for.
Airlines definitely ought to provide refunds when they fail to perform. It's frustrating that most of the criticism from politicians has surrounded refunds, but a refund will do nothing to help you find a new booking at last-minute prices. Airlines should be forced to offer rerouting on other carriers or EU261-level compensation.
Someone could easily make the point that the Ukraine war was an opportunity for Biden to deliver on his promise to the US oil industry to make Europe buy US excess shale gas which was 3x more expensive than Russian gas.
Trying to escape the confines of Earth in our fragile meat-bag bodies is probably 100x less practical than escaping the confines of our fragile meat-bag bodies.

> The movement of dangerous prisoners

You're moving the goal posts, now. The *vast* majority of prisoners are not dangerous.

Further, the article referenced specifically mentions people being induced prior to the safe time to induce labor.

Further, further, in the context of the existing prison system and human rights violations inside prisons (and *all* humans have human rights. This isn't "freedom of speech", these are even more base than that), this is yet another monstrous example of harming people in the State's care in prisons.
What's your metric? I thought the purpose of these laws is to reduce consumption-related harms

I’m Icelandic and I always thought that playing Hnefatafl was a expression for fighting, since it directly translates to “Fist Chess”
From the article:

>The Virgin Islands Daily News, a local newspaper, reported that Epstein had made various donations to schools and organizations across the U.S. territory, and that the island’s former first lady was the office manager for one of his companies, Southern Trust. It also noted that Bryan, the governor, had granted Epstein’s company various hefty tax exemptions when he served as chairman of the Economic Development Commission.

Oh gee, now that's just convenient isn't it?
You're likely an industrious person, this is a personality trait no need to fight it or feel bad about it you just may be more at ease when you have something to do. So best to to find something!
A "post-detection" hub? Are these people for real? If intelligent life contacts humans, every country in the world is going to rush to open back channels with them in the hope of gaining alliance and taking their help in getting a leg up over their neighbours here at home. It has happened before. It was called colonization.
> With the war on drugs you have to e.g. add in the huge amount of violence and other crimes caused by illegal production and distribution and high prices of various hard drugs, as well as the severe impact on people imprisoned as a result.

After marijuana legalization, illegal ops still account for a significant portion of the marijuana sales. There's always going to be illegal producers.

As for those imprisoned... few are imprisoned for simple possession as evidenced by the paltry amount of people released by President Biden's pardon.

> Most criticism of prohibition / the war on drugs focuses on total harm, not just the harm of consumption.

Is the claim that the mob disappeared after Prohibition was repealed? Because it didn't
Yikes, what brand?
Django would be way too heavy for this. Go for Flask, much lighter and can move faster to product completed stage.
CostCo sells several brands, but in particular Sony, that they have arranged to ensure that these TVs are fully functional when you decline the T&Cs and never connect it to the Internet. It is the only reason I currently own a "smart" TV, is because I could be reasonable certain that this was controllable. Otherwise, I'd probably only use projectors right now because these are still commonly purchaseable at consumer pricing without "smart" features that are unskippable.
Breaking RSA is a practical thing.

E.g. forge email (most dkim keys are 1024 bit rsa). Break ssh (depends on key algo chose). Break pgp (depending on settings). Mitm https connections, Etc.
Writing a novel in my native language already sounds challenging for me. I think writing it in a foreign language is a lot harder, and I wouldn't know where to start. Looks like you found a system, hope you can keep the pace and publish it soon. Good luck!
Directly? No. I'll explain why.

There is a prominent programming competition which was operated by the ACM for many years. If you find the Italian language version of the article on Wikipedia, check the very first edit from 2012. He was the IP editor who created the article.

With that information, you can search for a current draft article on the English website. Again, the IP editor is him. This opens up information about some of his current websites posing as official websites. These websites include claims about him being a consulate, a knighted individual, defamatory articles targeting people who called out his shady political campaign in 2018, and his false claims to a particular academic pedigree.

Should that draft article disappear, you can simply find archived versions of the most recent version using popular web archival tools.

Dig for articles about his 2018 political campaign in the country matching the first language mention above and which deals with gratis "flights".

If you dig enough, you'll find links back to an article in a prominent magazine in that country. The article does not exist on the magazine's website, but you can use the URL to find archives using popular web archival tools.

Take that journalist's name and search for "blog". That's his defamatory website for her. It's just the tip of the iceberg of his attack on her.

This is one of six current defamatory websites that I know about targeting specific individuals and/or organizations which are operated by him. This doesn't include the prior existing websites, outside articles, or fake reviews.

I'm not interested in becoming one of his targets.
I, for one, welcome our new vivore overlords.
Either Putin is a reasonable man who can be negotiated with, or a man who is willing to use nuclear weapons to stave off a loss in a war on foreign soil he started.

It could also be neither of these, but it cannot be both.
What happens if you buy a used TV and the previous owner agreed to a bunch of TOS already? Should you just assume that a used TV has all imaginable tracking enabled?
Ketamine is often used as what's called a psychotomimetic to mimic the effects of schizophrenia in drug models of the disorder, so while technically maybe, the answer is "probably not". You generally don't want to add the drug used to model a disorder in the normal population to someone already having that disorder (unless we're wanting to do something like Xtreme Homeopathy: Lab Edition™ or something like that lol.)

<< For better or worse there is only so much time in the day so you have to focus on what works for the 90% common case and just try your best for the remaining 10%.

I did, eventually, and I am voicing my discontent over having to do so.

<< You're paying for something, but apparently not phone support,

I received some support ( as flawed as it was, which reflects poorly on the company ) and that customer service number exists, therefore phone support exists and therefore I ,also apparently, pay for phone support. In other words, I think your argument is flawed.

That said, I think you are wrong in a much grander sense.

The question is not whether I pay for non-existent support. The question is why we allow oligopolies to run amok, because I am fairly certain if more options were available, this run towards the bottom would not be so awful from customer experience perspective, where CEOs are only focused on 'how to squeeze out more out of this rock' with the solution being: "I know. We will let them complain online and use that as our call center. Think of the savings." and NOT "How can we make our service better so that customers don't leave for greener pastures?".

That is the question.
So they're performing a human rights violation to reduce costs in an area that's already horribly lacking?
In principle, load-store architectures are simpler to implement, simpler to write compilers for, simpler to write speculative optimizations for, and have denser/simpler instruction encodings. Similarly in principle, register-memory architectures are simpler to write assembly for as a human, and simpler to write different speculative optimizations for.
I know lots of conservative druggies too.
I'd be curious if sites like Reddit will run into issues. It's 33% of the content of the site to qualify.
>In particular, the data show that prohibition works in general, whether it be drugs or alcohol.

Opioid overdoses are at an all time high, despite prohibition.

Even US alcohol Prohibition wasn't an effective solution to America's drinking problem. A much more effective solution was what followed Prohibition; *regulation*.
Right the status quo works. Computers are serving us. The only question of course is whether rigorous adaptation of FP would make them work even better.

The proponents of status quo only need to prove that the existing approach works and is useful. And I think that is proven already by the very existence of status quo. It wouldn't be there if it wasn't somehow useful.
Oh I knew the word seemed familiar. I first heard about it in this scrapwood challenge about making a Hnefatafl board with piece set: https://youtu.be/iiHlAa131NI?t=1022
Generally I wouldn't characterise the climate change deniers as "quietly chuckling", while the other side was "screaming". But no, neither weird cold snaps or weird heatwaves are climate change. However, increased volatility and unusual variation both ways can indeed be caused by and associated with global warming.
It's been done exactly that way before.

The "Vesuvian Bespin" proposal here is that scientists have found high enough in the Vesuvian atmosphere, atmospheric pressure and temperature are potentially comfortable for humans to go without (or at least much less) extensive life support (ignoring chemistry problems mentioned below). So, Earth would be kind of the ideal place test such a construction before committing to going to Venus. If you want easier 'floating' (making certain assumptions about the technology one might use to do that, e.g. we haven't invented anti-gravity machines), you go down to denser atmosphere and trade off against ease of human habitability. Which would seem to defeat the purpose.
Cleaning panels also needs to happen periodically. That cost can be in the thousands, especially if your roof is hard to access (e.g. high off the ground).

There are so many ways a rooftop solar installation investment can turn against you. If regulations change, your net metering goes away. If electricity prices drop, your ROI goes negative.

Rooftop solar is a fun enthusiast project, but it's a lousy use of solar panels. Community solar or utility solar projects are far better for homeowners. And for the environment.

The only reason people do it is that there are artificial incentives; it's not actually efficient in reality.
A lot of people asking why quality TVs, that don’t spy on you or force you to watch ads in their interface, aren’t available for those willing to pay more.

But these TVs are available [0] - I’ve recommended them many times on this site. I have one myself and been really happy with it for a few years.

The trouble is finding them for sale - they can no longer be bought anywhere directly here in Sweden, for instance.

That’s due to the biggest problem of all: finding buyers willing to pay more for a TV.

It's only required to prove an algorithm that solves an NP-complete problem exists, not find it.

Even if that algorithm exists and was found, it could be that such an algorithm is O(n^123456789), which would not break RSA in any practical sense, though it would be mathematically asymptotically faster than O(2^n).
Couldn't passkey fingerprints be used to identify you, regardless of login?
>This is a torii gate that has been in progress for a while: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7LNGRP8-r/?hl=en and I plan to finish it this year (painting + gilding + carving)

Looks awesome! Where you find the patterns for your carvings? From existing patterns, or did you write some sort of generative art algorithms to create them?
Quantum supremacy is a much much much lower bar than breaking rsa (at normal key strength)
Prisoners have *several* rights. A simple Google search reveals this.
Well, not only are you evil, even worse: you're wrong. The only scenario in which the state can compel you to receive medical treatment while in prison is to ensure the safety of staff or other inmates (e.g. they can force a violent inmate to take anti-psychotics or force inmates to receive vaccinations to prevent the spread of disease). Otherwise, prisoners have the same rights to informed consent as you and I do.
I'm no python expert but it looks like this does happen in memory: https://github.com/ianb/infinite-ai-array/blob/main/iaia/mag...

I can't imagine it's too hard to serialize the `existing` python dict so subsequent runs are deterministic
I don't think you need a framework. Javascript since you're building for the web.

I'd probably go with a static site with a realtime backend (Supabase/Firebase or Hasura).
Replying to remind myself to check back on this - I'm also interested!
Just a static HTML front page laid out with Bulma. Avoiding any sort of JS framework injection, although it is tempting, as a Vue user.
The Fediverse is a misnomer.

A better name would be Feudiverse, since it's feudalism by design — complete with instances feuding over control of how the entire thing is run.

The admins of the instance have absolute control over accounts (i.e. people) that sign up with them. The instance admins are the law of the land, and can kick accounts off the net for whatever reason, as well as draw up the bridges and prohibit passing through their lands.

Like in any feudal system, people are judged by which Lord they belong to (i.e. which instance they sign up with), and will be treated accordingly. Each instance is a clan, with collective responsibility built-in.

There is no Federation without a Federal government that ensures rights of the citizens via a constitution.

And there's no Fediverse without a central account authority that limits what instance admins can do to any individual account.

Mastodon is a Feudiverse.
Yeah absolutely would love to chat!
I think most societies throughout history have had the same intuition about young men.

Quite recently the Ukraine was drafting young men. If they decided to check out en-masse, there would be no country called Ukraine anymore. Society is a fragile thing.
Most net metering does have a base connection charge. Mine is ~$35/mo, even when I have produced more energy in a month than we consumed, my bill was still about $40 after base fees and taxes/etc.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried pleads not guilty in criminal crypto case
We're a few interactions into this debate. I want to clarify, are we discussing what is legal or what is morally just? Because those are far from the same. I personally would rather discuss what is morally justifiable, since that is a more important standard.
I don't know why, but I somehow think that running helped me. I don't even remember why I started running, but I remember I didn't expect to be able to make an habit out of it.
It turns out I made an habit out of it, and helped me make others. I think it is because running is such an automatic thing. You put one foot ahead, then the other, until you get home.

I don't think I 100% stopped procrastinating, but now I almost never think about it. No thinking, no reasoning, no excuses, no strategies, no prioritization, no schedulers, no productivity apps, no deals with myself.
No search for motivation in the moment where I need it.

Just show up. With or without motivation, with or without optimal circumstances.
Show up over and over again, without thinking.
Do you have any suggestions on hackathons to join? I'm aware of the many game jams out there, but I haven't paid much attention to hackathons. That sounds like a fun time.
"Crimea, a peninsula in the Black Sea, was annexed by Russia in March 2014, following a US-backed, far-right coup in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine."

The source is a far leftist propaganda site.
They tend to last all of about two months, in my personal experience.
I suspect this is due to a difference in ideology.

American ideology seems seems to be stuck in enlightenment ideas when it comes to philosophy of mind, which is likely due to the veneration of the founders and political system, which is based on Cartesian dualism.

Religious Americans are more likely to believe that there is such a thing as free will and people could have made a different choice, while atheist Europeans tend more towards eliminative materialism, where there is no magical soul that makes unbiased decisions, and folk psychology (concepts like beliefs and wants) are merely inadequate descriptions of behavioral patterns or post-hoc rationalizations.

An American would likely view a murderer wholly responsible of a gun murder. No fault could be ascribed to the gun manufacturer, legislation, or any other external factor. Retributive justice calls for the death penalty.

A European would be slightly more likely to see the murder as a chain of events in a deterministic world, without agency. Assuming the European wants to decrease murders for some reason, they would advocate rehabilitative justice, meaning a short sentence mainly there to prevent future murders and preventative measures all the way up the chain of events, such as reducing guns and increasing psychotherapy.
I advocate for building more low-level prisons because they're vastly cheaper and better suited for people who've committed minor crimes. I get more pushback on this from the anti-prison crowd than when I advocate for more maximum security prisons.

It has started to feel like they're for anything that makes prisons unworkable, even if it kills prisoners in the meantime and leaves others on the street, than reforming the system because they wouldn't be able to argue against a humane and proportional prison.

Prisons suck but they suck less than it did without them. Without alternative ways to handle the preexisting problems prison abolition is a step backwards.
What's wrong with the website? You submit your address, within a short period of time a human looks at your rooftop using aerial photography, and sends you a quote.

I used them in the past, and they were fine to work with. I still ended up sourcing all my own equipment (saved an additional 50% from what they were quoting me, for a better system), but they're not secretive about what they'll send you.
There’s a rule of thumb (“canon of construction”) that ambiguities in an agreement are construed against the drafter.
I’m not sure what your point is here. You seem to be saying ‘society will eventually collapse unless x happens’, but the parent was saying ‘x doesn’t seem to be happening in my experience’?
