Speaking as someone who just retired from being a Command Security Manager with about 1600 people under management:

The process of getting or renewing a clearance is arduous in the extreme if you fall within the things they say can be a risk, but if it’s outside of those (social media, etc.) it’s generally overlooked because our investigators and adjudicators are overworked and can be penalized if they take too long for things that aren’t strictly required.

In my case my spouse is foreign, and I helped someone be recruited into the Australian Military. Both of those were red flags that required multiple interviews over a year despite my 20 years of history and the fact that they never would have known of one issue if not self reported.

Yet in the parking lot there were no less than 20 “3 Percenter” stickers, multiple vehicles with a variety of “Jan 6th supporter” stickers, etc. that have all been identified as risk factors I was required to report. Not a single individual even had a case opened.

I have no good answers except that the system is moribund, bureaucratic, and has the wrong incentives internally (they still require polygraphs, which don’t work). I left at least partially because of frustration with being unable to actually enact change, even at my level.

So, you are actually claiming that the reason American police shoot more people than Canadian police is because Canadian police have college degrees and American police do not?

Even if your premises were correct, it wouldn’t be worth trying to debate that further.

Hint: They aren’t. Do some research on what percentage of US police have college degrees, and what percentage of Canadian police have college degrees. It isn’t what you think.

Also, you might want to look at the demographics of who police shoot in the US, and inform yourself of the differences between Canadian gun culture and the US.
I think though that the pedestrian wear is only on the roadway surface, rather than structural wear from, say, trucks vibrating enough to crack the bridge or throw off bits of concrete.
Can you talk more about your setup and process with Loki on the RPIs, please
Interesting find but that's not the issue for me. about:config shows privacy.resistFingerprinting=false by default (maybe Fedora sets that default?). There were various sub-settings (privacy.resistFingerprinting.*), some of which default to true, so I explicitly set them to false, and refreshed, but that didn't help. I also changed layout.css.font-visibility.resistFingerprinting from 1 to 0. I also tried adding the domain I'm testing to privacy.resistFingerprinting.exemptedDomains and that didn't help.

MidJourney's v5 model did a great job producing our logo https://summer.ai/static/nearby/android-chrome-192x192.png

Admittedly it was one of several hundred I had it spit out for me. But the design was completely original and caught me by surprise.

I tried making modifications but everyone kept telling me they prefer the original exactly as MidJourney made it!

It's always available, across time and distros. Despite it being a bit aged, it works well, and even though process management is a pain, it does many things right. There just hasn't been a strong need for a new terminal scripting language when you can easily write a few lines in Python instead when you need to do more advanced things.

After a while you will appreciate that the script you wrote 10 years ago still works everywhere, and that new shiny thing that was supposed to replace it died and withered away instead.
> why can't Cloudflare et al change their implementations to throttle based on individual IPs, rather than blanket discriminating against more secure users

Cloudflare does not do this - I've made that point several times. The website operator either has the security setting cranked to a paranoid level (which is not the default, btw), or they are experiencing an attack. Those are the only two scenarios where Cloudflare is going to inject a challenge as frequently as you assert.

Normally Cloudflare will only challenge after unusual behavior has been detected, such as inhuman numbers of page requests within a short duration, or the URL/forms are being manipulated, etc. The default settings are fairly unobtrusive in my experience.

If you are also complaining about generic captchas on forms and what-not, that's a different thing entirely. Those exists as anti-bot measures, naturally, but also as anti-human measures. We simply do not want a pissed customer to send us 900 contact-us form requests one drunken evening...

>Just a strange take. Companies can do whatever they want.

Yes, and I'm saying they shouldn't.

>If they fail, they will fail. Companies are mere profit seeking machines. Perhaps you are thinking of non-profit orgs?

No, I'm thinking of the idea of the civic responsibility of companies, and of a market that serves society, not just maximizes profit. Perhaps the barbaric 2023 is not ready enough for it.

>So what? People embrace all kinds of trends. And companies are made of people.

Yes, including BS trends, detrimental to them, their families, or their communities. And, like companies, should embrace less BS trends and more good trends.

They make something like that for autistic people and others that are non-verbal. The commercial product, which is essentially just a binder with printed words or pictures, is surprisingly expensive so lots of people DIY them.
With my new carpet and habit of wearing slippers I've had a lot of trouble with ESD. Big painful zaps that would reboot my keyboard and sometimes cause other mischief. I was worried about causing permanent damage. I got in the habit of touching the grounding screw on the wall outlet while sitting down which basically fixed it.

Strangely, if the computer is asleep it will wake up when I zap the ground screw. I'm still wondering how that happens. I guess it gets picked up by the wires which run to the power button? My PC case is pretty awful at EMI shielding like most modern custom PC cases.
If they aren’t, then they can’t claim to be acting in the best interests of the country.

Cool! Was just listening to a podcaster ask the guest if they remember how they got started with Python and got wondering how I would answer the question if asked.

My answer to myself: using Pythonista on my iPhone in spare minutes between classes or waiting in line at the grocery store. With the built-in documentation, iPhone-friendly editor, and fun built-in iOS specific libraries, I thought it was a great way to get started.

Definitely have wished there was a bit more community engagement by the author over the years, but every time I'm sure it's dead an update (or new version) comes out.

Well, you know what they say about being too close to something to speak on it objectively. Which in this case means: there's the way these systems were designed to work, and how they actually work toward the end-goal of keeping the systems they secure, secure.

I'll believe that Apple's operating systems are significantly and measurably more secure when they can make it a few years without a maliciously formatted iMessage crashing the kernel. Until then; its arguing minutia. Everyone has security issues. Everyone is taking steps toward improving their security. No one is so far ahead that they're worth white knighting on HackerNews.

"Because of my own personal philosophy regarding technology and AI, all the code in this repository that was written by me - I wrote 100% on my own. There is and will be no usage of Github Co-Pilot or any other AI tool."

As a developer that recently went to the dark side with co-pilot... all I can say is that from my perspective having used AI-augmented IDEs, arguments like this seem to me like a carpenter refusing to try power saws and power drills because craftsmanship will be lost compared to using handsaws and awls + hand drills. In my opinion, AI tools greatly enhance my craftsmanship by both saving me time and by suggesting solutions I didn't even know existed (most recent example being JS .every() and .some() - I was about to roll my own every/some equivalent with loops)
It's amusing that their bike lanes have an occasional Jersey barrier. That prevents vehicles from running through the plastic dividers.

> I think if people have working mobile phones then they're able to be sent electronic cash without a p2p system. Indeed, more easily than having a VPN and relevant skills to received crypto assets.

Spoken like a true first-world armchair warrior. Maduro shut off the non-p2p systems, as dicussed. He then failed to stop crypto payments. Do you think it was his "preference" all along to fail to control the flow of money?

Don't underestimate people's ability to figure out a VPN. It's not hard, and the prospect of literally starving to death can be quite motivating.

This article contains several fallacies and biases, including anecdotal evidence, appeal to authority, false precision, hasty generalization, correlation-causation fallacy, false analogy, and ambiguity. As a result, it's essential to take these into account when interpreting the information presented.

To save time, here's a TL;DR with the key points summarized in a single paragraph:

Sudden and significant increase in ocean temperatures observed over the last few weeks. Possible explanations include developing El Nino, rebound from La Nina cooling, and ongoing global warming. Global average ocean sea surface temperature increased by approximately 0.36 degrees Fahrenheit (0.2 degrees Celsius). Researchers debate whether warming is primarily due to El Nino or other factors. Marine heatwaves and ocean warming spots observed that do not fit typical El Nino pattern. Deeper ocean consistently warming in recent years, absorbing the majority of heat energy from greenhouse gases. La Nina's cooling effect has subsided, potentially leading to more temperature records being broken. Further research needed to understand causes, consequences, and complex factors driving ocean temperature spike.
Indeed, at a previous company I worked at, we had a rule: any time a bash script grew to more than 25 lines, it had to be rewritten in Python. I think that was a good rule.
> No, it isn't. USDT, a crypto currency, is pegged to the dollar and doesn't have consistently huge swings in volatility.

The one that's not backed? Whose money is supposedly in a bahamian bank run by the man who created Inspector Gadget? The one that settled with the CFTC and the NYAG for being unbacked? How you could possibly recommend this as a beacon of stability is beyond me. Especially when they don't even pay interest but you can get 5% on treasuries, so even if you just held it and they somehow never go under, you're still getting rekt.

However, USDC (or if we pretended there was anything in the vault at USDT) you don't need a blockchain lol. They could just put a portal on their website and you could just move between accounts there. But without the imaginary layer of indirection of the blockchain people would demand AML/KYC.

Those are fully centralized, fully controlled. USDT and USDC can be frozen by government entities and even by Tether themselves arbitrarily. They've done it many times.

This is a silly thing to advocate for.

> Fiat USD will always be the largest, by orders of magnitude, used currency for criminality, on the planet.

But not as a percentage of transactions. That's just a red herring. If you had the ability to wipe out a large pocket of criminality that provided little or zero real world value, why on earth wouldn't you?

What's next, comparing the size of the mob's bank accounts to the treasury as a reason not to pursue? Or because they kill less people than the army they're good to go?
Sure they had time. To be generous we can say they failed to extrapolate correctly from the 50% thrust test firing, but that may be a tad too generous.

That said, I don't think it's that big a deal, and anyways SpaceX is already paying a steep price for this mistake.
There are no officially adopted text-representations (for IPv4), only binary ones. In other words: there are simultaneously infinitely more possibilities and exactly zero.

For the most part, applications tend to punt the job of interpreting such text address representations to the IP stack (usually embedded in the OS kernel). These vary in what they'll accept by implementation and version, but they tend to be extremely good at interpreting whatever arbitrary nonsense people have historically been likely to try. As a result, there are surprisingly few application-level libraries which even attempt to deal with that mess.

If you look at https://district.farm/ as was citied in the root comment, you'll see they aren't using lights or heaters. California doesn't require those.

The energy usage and output of greenhouses varies significantly by seasons and region. You really need to do direct comparisons for individual bits of land instead of broad statements. It's probably worth the light and heat costs if a country cannot grow enough vegetables for it's population without it. The US doesn't have that issue, because we have lots of growing space with long growing seasons.

Python versioning and package management is a mess cross-platform, kinda makes it unattractive for that sorta thing. C# is a decent option for Windows, but dotnet is also a mess on Linux and Mac.

Bash "just works" for the majority of UNIX-like systems. Even if you don't have bash installed, there's a good chance you've got a simple interpreter that can run a script file like zsh or sh.

There are reasons one might use Python, but I always reach for bash when I'm doing sysadmin or text processing work.
