User account associated to a phone number is a common tactic. Phone numbers serving as a proxy for identity is more and more of a thing.

People might talk about burner phones, but many localities never really had burner phones in the first place (Japan doesn't give a phone number on travel SIMs, there's "no way" to have a phone number without getting your ID checked somewhere), and other localities are tightening the grip on this.

It's not a universally nice and open solution. But it's probably one most markets will bear

One interesting wrinkle of GHG emissions from planes is that vapor trails can be worse for climate at certain times of day.

There's still some arguing about how to price this in accurateley but this was part of the reason that Google changed their GHG measure for flights recently. They previously just averaged it, but ideally want to encourage flights at times when it is less of a problem.

it's well established that expansion is the reason coops don't reach the levels of actually competitive entities, the largest of those in that list (retail notwithstanding) exist almost solely due to subsidisation.

Inability to expand is practically built-in to the structure of worker and consumer cooperatives.

That they're free to exist but don't dominate the marketplace (the total revenue of those 300 companies is still less than the revenue of the top 10 non-coops) should be evidence enough but you're welcome to exploree the literature yourself.
From the stats I've seen, the only recent change to transgender rates is female-to-male, which is the exact opposite of autogynephilia, increasing.

Also, the absolute numbers are tiny, so it's not an "epidemic" by any measure.

You might be right but I wouldn't take it as certain. My uncle once told me it takes two people to cause an accident by which I mean it's at least possible the red light runner saw you - if you had been slower maybe they would have done 120MPH and gotten ahead of your or maybe 60MPH and still ended up behind you.

Who knows though - it's certainly true the road is filled with idiots. I almost got hit by a car a few weeks ago because I stopped in the middle of intersection two avoid a bunch of knuckleheads on dirt bikes running a red light.
I don't feel singled out, it is an interesting train of thought that I also ponder every once and a while.

I don't feel like this is specific to the internet. People have been scamming other people for thousands of years. Sure, the internet makes it easier to extend a scammers reach and easier to get away but the fundamental concept is unchanged. Maybe it is a solvable problem, that would be great. But it also seems like this is unlikely to change soon, so at least in the meantime we need to remind ourselves to be careful who we trust.

My comment was not about christians=good, pagans=bad. It's that St Augustine, somewhat counter-intuitively puts the blame of the collapse of the roman empire, not on the barbarian hordes, but on the upstanding romans being too timid to confront the moral decay amongst their neighbors.
How does this refute the parent's argument? If anything, it just says how similar it is with the already problematic case of "one major company town".

And this is even worse, as it's not "one major company town" but "just a major company and nothing else town".
It is perfectly legal to start a company as a co-op, or as any other non-traditional structure. There's an argument to be made that corporations have a growth advantage because their profit motive makes them grow faster than other structures. How would you propose balancing that?

Seems unsafe to telegraph to the web that a device is being handled by an underage user. And redundant, since that would probably require some intervention from the user/client to set up, who could already block adult websites on devices anyway. If they're capturing the edge case of parents who do nothing, but expect their kids to be protected when they hand them a tablet, I don't think there's much to do. Seems way more effective, with no downsides, to just communicate to parents on the govt's part.

Adult streaming sites have the "are you 18 years of age?" pop-up. As far as those managing the sites are concerned that should be enough.

> The less I have to spend dealing with idiosyncrasies of arbitrary API boiler plate

In my experience, GPT saves me some time when I don't really have to think about idiosyncrasies anyway. In cases where I do have to think about them, GPT doesn't offload that from me. It often tries to mash unrelated frameworks together or makes up non-existing APIs that it would find useful for the given task. When it does work well, it mostly boils down to automated series of copy'n'pastes. Saves a bit of time, sure, but doesn't really transform the way I work.

No, it doesn't. RESTRICT empowers the federal government to enforce website bans, and provides for enforcement against efforts to evade those bans.
This is a[1] Utah state law, and a voluntary ban set up by Pornhub itself to comply. Just not relevant.

Mind you, RESTRICT is a bad bill, and those provisions are vague, and the EFF is right to be screaming about it. But it doesn't do what you think it does.

The analogy breaks down when you remember that everything you do on a networked computer is effectively public information. In a physical store, you can show the clerk your ID, they'll verify the birthdate, sell you the "secret item", and then forget your name & face the instant they move to the next customer. But to do the same thing online, you are associating your name & face with the "secret item" to literally everyone on the planet for the rest of eternity. The calculus changes.

There's no practical way to check ID on the web. In your "Real World" the vast majority of the time checking ID is just some person that works for an establishment looks at a little plastic card with your photo on it and checks to make sure the birthday is before a certain date, then they hand it back to you. To do something like this online would require something much more intrusive to personal privacy and adds another pointless complicated technological solution when a much more practical solution exists. That solution being parental controls.

>What I would really like to see is a two-tier cache system

Is there any sort of Linux HSM (Hieracrhical Storage Manager)? I haven't see any and have been a bit surprised nothing has really developed there. They can manage putting hot data in RAM, SSDs, colder or larger data on spinning rust, deep freezing onto a tape silo or a cloud storage...

Some of the NAS devices and RAID cards can support a two-tier caching or data migration using SSDs, where hot or highly-random data (usually identified by smaller write sizes) go to the SSDs, and then can migrate to the spinning discs.

I've done some "poor mans" version of this using LVM, where I can "pvmove" blocks of a logical volume between spinning discs and SSDs, which is pretty slick, but a very crude tool.

That is some weird and unhelpful mixing of units. There is no way to look at that data and work out which food has the most potassium pr. gram. At a guess a "medium" banana is possibly 1/3 - 1/2 cup raw, maybe less if cooked down? If that's the case it jumps to the top of your list again. And the "1 cup" of cooked chard, is that 1 cup pre or post cooking, packed or loose or perhaps pureed. The difference in weight between 1 cup loose raw chard and 1 cup cooked pureed chard is probably a factor of 10 if not more.

I can't vouch for it's accuracy, but it seems that the association of red/blue with republicans/democrats was only solidified in the 2000 election. https://www.quora.com/Why-did-the-Republican-party-choose-re...

I'm also seeing a variety of results saying that prior to that, the incumbent party was typically shown as blue on graphics, and the challenging party was red. In 2000, those colors lined up with the current party associations (Gore being a dem like Clinton), and that election cycle was a publicized enough election that the colors stuck to the parties.
> the human brain is soooo fucking primed to see patterns and make sense from anything.

Fully agree. I've never done psychedelics, but years ago when overworked and by lack of sleep my mind went into a severe state of hyperassociativity. Though a serious health danger (feeling as if your brain gets cooked) it was a magnificent experience. Everything I saw with my eyes triggered an explosion of associations. I felt as if I could pierce the mysteries of the universe, perceive the future as it unfolded before me, and was sure that a higher entity existed. Until.. it became too much and I needed treatment and medication to bring me back to earth. The brain is a powerful machine.
We've learned that parents aren't responsible in the USA. This might change with the parents on trial for the teen shooter recently but ultimately up to this point, unless it's physical neglect, the parents delegate to the schools and then get upset when their kids are taught non-racist ideologies. Or they force the school board to ban/burn books like it's nazi germany.

It's bizarre to suggest not going to conferences or keeping a blog means you're stuck on VB6 (released in 1998, 14 years before the post was written). It doesn't not mean that, either. The two things are unrelated to each other.

Scott Hanselman is projecting the world view conference-goers and blog-posters onto everyone else. He is obsessed with modernity, so everyone else must be using stable technology; he worries that his bleeding-edge tools are problems in need of a solution, so everyone else must be producing. In reality, any given 99% of developers is going to be using a diverse and varied mess of different technologies of varying maturity levels.

I don't think it's animosity at being called a lesser developer, but rather a baffled sense of insult at the claim that 99% of any group can be homogenous enough to teach lessons. Imagine a car enthusiast who drives a Porsche 911 writing the same article about the "dark 99%" who drive proven vehicles like a Toyota Camry (sensible passenger car) or a Mack Titan (gigantic truck used for pulling 200 tonne road trains) and are out there transporting. It's just a really weird claim to make given that the differences between his 1% and absolutely everyone else are dwarfed by the massive internal differences within that 99%.
That's the trick: they didn't keep it at all. By the time that colour scheme arose, the Cold War was long finished.

The idea of colour-coding the parties at all didn't really become widespread until 1980, and the exact colours in use weren't standard until the aftermath of the 2000 election - ABC had initially used yellow for Republicans, and even as late as 1996 The Washington Post, Time, and NBC were all still using blue for Republicans and red for Democrats, in line with the colour schemes of most other nations.
> Also it's not like people are making a choice between whether they meet friends or install Calm.

Neither meeting friends or using an app are binary events. The more you spend time on one, the less you spend time doing anything else — in the limit including the other. There's considerable evidence to suggest app and/or media usage encroaching on in-person time. It seems plausible that people who can band-aid their feelings in an app may be less inclined to take the leap and talk about personal matters with friends.

But these are complex things - there would need to be a study to know for sure.
It really lacks the "best phone able to run crap-free OS", I mean no telemetry, no Google and access to root.
They're pretty common elsewhere, but many intersections have fixed cycles before they actually pay attention to the sensors - they're only polled when another cross-traffic cycle is about to come up.

But this is about the situation in which the main road should be flashing yellow at low-traffic times, and the cross streets flashing red. Or, all flashing red if it's a limited-visibilty intersection. There's one of the latter near me, and it really only needs full cycles during morning and evening rush. The rest of the time, it would be faster for all involved as a four-way stop.
Wow, that's surprising and impressive. Thanks for updating me!

It's not at all. A warrant is invasion of somebody's home because executive power has reason to belief crime is going on. A speed camera invades no-ones privacy, and just registers violations of traffic rules.

Obscene material is not inherently protected speech, but as it's a content-based restriction, the government is still bound by strict scrutiny to narrowly tailor its laws to achieve its legitimate interest in limiting the distribution of pornography. Furthermore, the definition of obscenity (the Miller test) is actually rather narrow, and there are likely to be several sexual fetishes that don't actually qualify as obscene, and therefore protected speech.
Sounds great. What's the job?
