Besides the archaeological and geological records, there are several surviving eyewitness accounts including that of Pliny the Younger not to mention Roman histories of various emperors who spent time in this area and events such as the revolt of Spartacus.

It might just be a thing around here, but a lot of Indian or Thai restaurants have two separate heat scales, the 'normal' one, and the Indian or Thai one. One of the Thai restaurants that I used to frequent, for example, had a scale where 'spicy' was the same as 'Thai mild' and 'Thai spicy' would genuinely make your hair stand on end.

Hi downrightmike,

We don't use pfsense, so we cannot comment on that.

Blackmirror Firewall is designed to be used for IIS and other Windows based servers that connects to Cloudflares Edge, using their API to block at their perimeter. FreeBSD, linux, ubuntu and the like have great possible solutions already (apache reverse proxies, haproxy, fail2ban, etc), and these are great strategies in a layered approach to cover all possible surface attack vectors. We block both IPs and ASNs (ASNs can be disabled but both are on by default)

With our software platform, you don't need to know how to use FreeBSD/Linux, etc with complex setups. We just need a custom Cloudflare API token and that's it, which blocks malicious IPS/ASNs across all domains/sub-domains account-wide. So in terms of usefulness, it's a much faster deployment, and more so for people that are being attacked as we speak because it can be deployed in 5-10 minutes for your average user to mitigate/stop the attacks quickly. In terms of features, perhaps it does the same thing as pfsense, we're not exactly sure.

Usefulness comes from the fact that with the combination of Cloudflare Tunnels and Blackmirror, they can be leveraged to protect Windows-based HOSTS/VMs which Windows doesn't have a great solution that we know of.
Cloudflare rate-limiter can be by-passed and WAF rules etc, via spoofing etc. Not sure how pfsense or of their limitations work but it likely also does what we do

Also, when it comes to Layer-7 application attacks for instance, db instances can be easily consumed. There are just so many different techniques and strategies that are more beneficial for the black hats than there are for white hats.

Our methodology is to block at the edge, because you can't get hurt if they can't even get in! You can read through the FAQ on our page which should give you a better understanding.

I agree that it's the government's role but I think you can look a bit beyond the law itself, which is often hard to get right, especially in very fresh new domains. Some nice behaviors can be induced by mere fear of government intervention and fear of future laws, and I think we're seeing some of that now.

> This is the same reason you can't steal something back.

Well, legally you can, at least in most jurisdictions. The property remains yours, and you can do whatever you like with it -- such as pick it up and walk off with it. But you will assume full liability if you injure someone in the process (including the thief) or otherwise make a mistake like taking something that wasn't actually yours.

I'm hesitant to ask for more features to a lightweight, stable RSS service, but it would be super-nice to be able to enter a youtube username (for example) and have it build a feed from it, as Google is, at best, wildly inconsistent about providing youtube RSS feeds. Essentially baked-in rsshub functionality. But I'm fine running rsshub in parallel.
Yeah, my impression at the time was that programmers and tech-related media turned against Google basically overnight when Reader was killed. I think the importance of Reader wasn’t “everybody used it” but “the people in a position to influence the public perception of Google used it”.

> Curry is a South Indian word referring to vegetables originally (Malakkarry means vegetables)

FWIW, Kannada has no such word. ಕರಿಬೇವು ("karibevu") refers specifically to the curry plant and (as far as I know) there is no word "kari" which refers to curries in general.

My parents had always told me that "curry" was, therefore, a generalization and anglicization of various dishes containing curry leaves. But seeing as "kari" is a word in several other South Indian languages, perhaps Kannada is just the odd one out.

That doesn't make it a good idea, but it is legal in many circumstances.

It doesn't work this way. A programmer with a bit of experience knows to curb the desire for cleverness and write code they — and their teammates, probably having comparable intelligence and even less knowledge about specific code — can debug.

Sorry I meant Tamil Not Telugu. But the point remains the same. Curry in the British sense is not curry in any Indian sense. Kari doesnt imply a specific gravy dish, it implies a spiced sauce component. Saying you want a curry dish is like saying you want a cream dish when you order murgh makhani. It’s incongruent and a conflation of modern colloquial use vs the actual dish. Just like not ever meat dish is a ragu in Italy.

> Using Force to Regain Your Property

In Texas, you may also be justified in using force to pursue and recover your personal property. Penal Code § 9.41 also extends the right to use force in defense of property when:

You are unlawfully dispossessed of your land or tangible property;
You reasonably believe that force is immediately necessary in fresh pursuit to reenter the land or recover your property; and
The other person had no right to the property and/or acquired such property using force, threat, or fraud.

In simpler terms, you may be justified in using immediate force to regain control of property that was unlawfully taken from you. However, this use of force must be in “fresh pursuit” of the property, meaning that no significant time has elapsed since the theft or trespass.
I much prefer AI safety being researched before we build a really powerful AI.

This reminds me — before GPT was even released for the first time OpenAI made noises about safety and consequences and it was shrugged off, because back then GPT looked like a toy that could only write barely coherent Amazon reviews or blogs about cryptocurrencies, and that's a too low bar to demonstrate intelligence.

Not by Thai or Sichuan standards it isn't. But to answer your question, denatured Korean food (esp. yakiniku BBQ) is widely available, and more authentic versions can be found if you head to the Koreatowns found in every major city (Okubo in Tokyo, Tsuruhashi in Osaka, etc).
The legality depends on when the term 'in pursuit' phrase of retrieving stolen goods ends. It is not illegal to be in active pursuit of your property. The messy part is where AirTags now change the term 'in pursuit' means, do you take it the literal "within your vision", historical way things are done?

I would argue that if you have GPS tracking on property, you are always in perpetual pursuit of your items, at minimum for two reasons - first is that you know the item has a propensity for being stolen (obvious), the second is that adding GPS tracking is with the intention you are locating your device at all times, thus you are in a perpetual state of pursuit.
> Ukrainians voted that government into power though. Doesn't violently overthrowing the government go against the whole idea of democracy? Not to mention being illegal. But you're cool with that because of the result?

I know Putin argues this way. He tried to use the "democracy" argument even though he is an autocrat and some people buy it. Euromaidan happened for just one reason: Putin pressured Yanukovych not to sign the Ukraine-EU Association Agreement and he gave in. Ukrainians didn't want to share the fate of Belorussians though. So Putin decided to invade as it was a slap in his face.

> And then here where they actually did vote democratically, you don't support it because you wish it had been done a different way?

No, any vote under the Moscovian rule is not democratic. Actually I don't care that much about Crimea as very few people died but I do care a lot about Donbas as people were suffering enormously. Of course the Russian media portrayed it as if everything was done by Ukrainians. My friends who lived there at the time said the thugs that ruled there didn't value human life at all, something that the whole world was to see a few years later. It was a tragedy that the West didn't react in 2014 and went for the appeasement strategy instead.

In other Forms of software the answer is easy. here are the design docs and the why, here are our procedures to verify to the best of our abilities.
In AI the answer is "we threw these training set to wall, and these are the weights that sticked to it". There is no "to the best of our abilities in this process.
