I can't tell if you're gullible, or in on the scam. Either way, spreading this around is immoral.

Regulators are well-aware this is a scam which is why they're afraid of regulating it: as soon as they say "put up or shut up" the whole things collapses. they dont want to be blamed for that collapse.

As for politicians, they're corrupt. Trump and his cabinet were scam artists (betsy devos the wife of the head of a pyramid scheme, etc.); and likewise senior figures in the dems have historically been deeply connected to pyramid schemes.

This will all go to zero. The fastest way there is anyone actually trying to use it for money.

At the moment, it's one closed-off casino with a handful of people gambling with each other -- that's the total amount which any of this tech can support.

Regulators are hoping it will collapse in on itself without prompting.

I think the only law required here is "do something useful for real people" -- with that law this entire ecosystem will collapse and be exposed for the inherent fraud it is.

I encourage anyone with assets here to divest, and never to promote any of this -- do not rope people into holding the bag.
True in general, but you'll be surprised how quickly things can fall apart when labor stops laboring.
If companies were truly desperate for developers, they'd strive to retain the older, experienced ones already in the business, who usually offer the benefit of uncomplicated legal status.
Silicon Valley bank had sudden collapse. While I don't agree with the decision of FDIC to make everyone whole, I understand why.

First Republic Bank was collapsing for more than a month. If anyone still kept uninsured money there, it's mostly on them.

No it doesn't. That's why I was disappointed when I found out!
People have totally different perceptions of taste sometime. I don't think most people get really disgusted. If you have cliantro soap taste genes you know about it and are clear to people about your ability to accept cilantro.

Many other things are just what you're used to. I spent a while trying chicken fried steak recipes with different oils and found out I liked sunflower oil the best, in terms of flavor. Many people can't stand it. It's just what you like.

What I care about is whether researchers are building lists of wrongthinkers. Lists that are obviously going to be weaponized once the censorship laws inevitably pass.

If it's a proper academic study, then surely the methodology was evaluated by an ethics committee. If your study generated the report that led to Telegram being banned, then the information being collected must not be anonymized.

The WhatsApp monitoring system paper mentions partial phone numbers are stored "for geographical analysis purposes".

I lived on a boat in the SF marina for a year...

There was a guy that would commute into SF via a MASSIVE zodiac with (4) 600-HP engines and would do ~80MPH across the bay from Saucalito to the ferry building. He had a full time boat pilot, who he paid ~$100K/year (I asked) and he would make it from saucalito to SF in ~15 minutes.

He was a hedgie in FiDi...

As someone who has made the GGB commute all the way down to Sunnyvale for a time... I was super jealous of the fact this guy had that luxury.

I admit that I was excluding commercial art here, but you're right (although even commercial art is human communication).

But that just makes the issue more important. I don't want to lose what little meaningful art is actually left. Art serves a critically important social function, and if that art is no longer from people, that function is no longer served.
You're correct that a lot of senders have no idea when they're sending unwanted email, and that unwanted email is well within the realm of possibility here. But don't assume DOI is a panacea; you can use DOI and still send unwanted email. It can improve quality metrics (fewer bounces), but engagement metrics are a much stronger signal, especially for gmail.

Why are you ignoring the title and first paragraph?

> The facts and strategy behind the outrage over rumors of a ban on gas stoves

> The conservative media was in uproar last week over speculation that the federal government planned to ban gas cooking stoves and possibly seize them.

The aim is clearly to dismiss the concern as manufactured outrage—note the words “strategy,” “speculation,” and “outrage”—rather than a concern about something that may happen because it’s an aim liberals definitely have.
When a smaller business starts openly declaiming against the system they benefited from 10 months ago, because shadier businesses are competing them out of the market, it tends to raise eyebrows.

Permaculture is incredibly labor intensive. It's why usually young or retired people tend to be interested in - 2 groups with a lot of time on their hands.

People who are middle aged and raising children don't have the time necessary (or the good physical shape) to participate in permaculture on any meaningful scale beyond maybe growing some veggies for personal consumption.

Also, you are probably missing my point: it's not like sites don't need protection, it's the unfriendliness of how CF implements it.
There are only certain medium size densities for which cars work. They are only convenient and time-efficient for a very small range of traffic, and only at very low density of interesting places to go. Look at how much space is devoted to parking on a satellite view of any sort of suburban shopping center, and you'll see why cars only work for low density of interesting places to go.

You seem to enjoy the number of places that you can reach in a car. But if the destinations are man-made places of interest, such as businesses, friends, shops, services, and social meeting places then cars' space inefficiency limit how many of those you can visit. Because each has to spend a massive amount of space on parking. And transport has a failure mode of creating traffic jams whenever demand for a certain route tips over a critics point, causing a phase change from free flowing traffic to a traffic jam, that can only be cleared by long periods of far lower number of cars.

With trains and bikes and walkable cities, you can achieve far far higher densities of interesting destinations, with a <40minute travel time. There is really no comparison.
Mirror Worlds (the book) is a great read. I have it on my shelf next to his other book, Machine Beauty. I didn't know he was a victim of the Unabomber, that's unfortunate.

Maybe those extra dimensions can explain one exorcist's claims that:

On a related subject, my prediction: artificially grown meat will most likely go down as a failure, because of an oversight of understanding of some basic concepts. Either that, or the quality of the meat would be extremely poor.
You also have to consider the fact that many households' standard loaf on hand is white sandwich bread. There will always be a place in my heart for the squishy comfort of a slice of our locally-made white bread, but the fanciest butter wouldn't make it a delicacy. Cheap store brand butter on a discount grocery store "baguette" is a much better snack. Then there's butter on saltines to go with a stew or pea soup. The taste of my childhood.

When I was applying to jobs last year I would see startups brag on their websites about how many MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, etc grads they had.

It wouldn’t last that long here, for sure. The salt in the eating butter keeps it good. Cooking butter usually needs to be cold for baking and pastries.

I have a Japanese Koshikawa butter knife (dubbed “I can’t believe it’s not Clutter” by a friend of mine) so even eating butter can be dealt with swiftly - similar to a butter curler.

They absolutely could sign their spam, but that makes the domain yet another cost, consumable and an indicator that can be blocked.

> ...and that potentially meant that the government might force United Fruit to make costly changes, like raising wages.

[...] Ideally, Guatemala would back down and start praising United Fruit for being a job creator instead of a foreign plunderer.

Somewhat OT, but one of the feats of propaganda that impresses me the most is how "jobs" were successfully established as an end in itself instead of a means.

As a politician, you can easily run on the platform of "creating jobs" without ever discussing wages.

As an employee, it doesn't matter if the job is wrecking your health, making you neglect your family and pays less than living wage, just having a job on its own is something to be grateful of.

An employer is not needing services that employees provide, no, an employer is creating jobs and then in infinite grace giving them to the employees.

It's crazy, but it works.
Those digits are fairly important to EEs.

Common switch mode power supplies are not picky about input voltages and generally have a wide range of operating voltages, having the switch on 230 likely just knocked 20 volts or so off the input voltage to keep the 230 below the max voltage, not half it. The reason this eventually started causing problems is probably because your wall voltage has dropped and/or components in the supply aging and drifting from spec meant it could no longer maintain good clean output which triggered a safe guard in the computer.
Would a service provider like YouTube have an incentive to shut down every single spam post? It's plausible that spam can drive up engagement in some cases.

Actually I agree. There are probably lots of low-throughput, high-consequence things like that.

For the sampling, you'd have to run the same logic. The idea is just to do it infrequently as to not totally ruin your overall performance. Idk if this would work.

Not to worry. If a nuke goes off in or near Ukraine (or any NATO country for as long as the conflict drags on), everyone will know exactly who was responsible. And no one will believe that country's attempt to paint it as a false flag operation. For even a nanosecond.

There are plenty of obvious (strictly internal) reasons for the U.S. to gather as much data as they possibly can about such an incident. If anything, it would be a mark of incompetence for them not to set up such a network.

So weird - you really think AI/ML is a flash in the pan when it comes to Python? You realize pytorch, tensorflow, pandas, numpy, scikit-learn are all approaching 10 years on pypi?
This thread is giving me a complex. Why? Well, because the answer is basically "nothing". I mean, don't get me wrong - I've built all sorts of stuff, and plenty of it was not for my $DAYJOB. And I think (at times) of myself as being fairly creative and having lots of "ideas". And yet... at least in the context of this thread (the way I'm interpreting the OP's question anyway) I just don't have much to offer up.

FWIW, I interpret the question as being strictly about stuff one built for oneself in the context of everyday, day-in, day-out life. Stuff to use yourself. And on that front, I just realized I almost never build anything strictly for myself. I work on Open Source projects and work on projects at Fogbeam that I (want|hope|expect|whatever) other people to use, or things I would use myself in a business context. But I just don't build handy little gadgets to use around the house, or in my truck, or when out and about.

This may be one of the first times I've really felt a strong case of the "imposter syndrome" that one hears so much about. I feel like I should have some answers for this, so why don't I? :-(

OK, to be fair, I did built at least one thing just for myself. I have a couple of lamps that are positioned in an out of the way location in my living room, and I hate having to walk to them and stretch to reach the switch(es). So I did the whole "IP controlled lamp" thing with a relay and an Arduino Nano 33 IoT board. The power strip the lamps are plugged into is controlled by the relay, and I can send an HTTP request to turn the relay on or off. I created a shortcut on my phone's homescreen so I can easily control it from my phone. But that's such a chintzy project I almost feel worse for admitting to it. :p
Worth mentioning that Cloudflare also hosts those DDOS services and prevents them from being shut down.
In the middle of winter 2000, I was sent to Sun's "Super Training" campus in Broomfield, CO. It was a nice little campus and upon registration I was handed an access card that I could slot into any Sun Ray on the campus and access the same persistent desktop.

There were little clusters of Sun Rays all around the campus and I was very impressed with the system. It was nice to have a personal desktop environment I could customize and use for the 2 weeks that I was there.

This whole 7 part series is really an eye opener.

Most people have heard about Allende/Pinochet, and Regan's illegal war in Nicaragua, but I don't think that many people in the US have heard about this. I certainly hadn't.

This series is excellent, especially in the many references to decassified documents. Agencies denying operations for decades, only to have those operations confirmed after declassification is a repeating pattern.

Seeing how powerful this media based campaign was in the 1950s also sheds some perspective on how overwhelmingly powerful modern fake-video can be in persuading a population.

All rolled up, this really spells a very hard road ahead for democratic government. How are ordinary people supposed to pull back the deception and understandd the truth, in the face of highly-funded media campaigns to deceive them? It becomes less and less possible with every new technical development.
It feels like the argument is upside down. Civilization scaled because increased agricultural productivity allowed a smaller number of farmers to feed the rest, freeing them up to do other things. These people also naturally congregated to cities because that enabled fast exchange of goods and ideas, i.e., it was more "scalable" than having everyone scattered throughout the country.

In the modern world, it also means that cities have lower ecological footprint. Moving people around is much more energy intensive than moving food. Makes more sense to do farming across the country and concentrate the produce onto a small place packed with people.

Not necessarily saying this is a great tradeoff for individuals (who wouldn't want a backyard with an apple tree?) but in a sense, the fact that we're picturing a backyard with an apple tree instead of backbreaking work in the rice paddies throughout summer is a testament to how brutally efficient the modern agriculture is.
