It is suicidal only if there's a way to get caught. also, the full picture of the finances involved isn't always clear – the vpn business may be just a front for some other much more profitable shady business.

Besides, post Snowden, it is silly to still believe in such claims as non-logging. there are many high probability possibilities:

– it is a legitimate business but a secret court order compelled it to install a tap and feed it to secret government agency.

- its not a real business but actually a secret govt security agency's slush fund funded cyber intelligence warfare operation.

- its an unscrupulous mafia funded business running a massive hacking/blackmail operation masquerading as a business.

- its an unscrupulous shady business that's harvesting and selling your personal data to black market data brokers.

...so on. possibilities are endless.
> why would one use Thunderbird, or any third-party email client? What benefits does this offer over using the UI provided by your email provider (assuming that you aren't self-hosting)?

1. Unified single entry-point into all my email accounts. I I can search through all of them even while keeping them isolated from each other (to allow searching individually).

2. Latency: when I want to open an email it does not require a 500ms delay, as in gmail, roundcube, whatever. You may think this is not a problem, but if you perform a search and want to quickly open all 15 of the results, that latency adds up quickly.

3. Slicker UI, in most cases. Especially in searching (which is different from "filtering"). UI for adding rules to kill based on patterns is a lot easier than gmail, for example.

To be honest though, looking at my points above, it basically comes down to "searching is better on local client".
Fentanyl is super cheap, thanks to mass production, pills are like somewhere around $25-50, fentanyl laced meth is as cheap as $5? I don’t think any legal alternative would hit that price point, the cheapness would still drive demand if something else isn’t done.
One thing about DVDs and Bluray is they have a long life expectancy because of the Lindy Effect. DVDs have been around 25 years, and the latest console generation can still read them. Expect another 25 years.
What appears to be the problem here? So Chinese online businesses are selling chemicals to Mexican customers which can be used to produce fentanyl? Then Mexicans smuggle this into America?

The USA could simply protect their border and 99% of the supply would dry up (in addition to great reductions in crime that affects ordinary Americans). But then the Democrats wouldn't have a steady flow of illegal (and soon to be legal) voters, so that cannot be allowed to happen.
I wish I knew! He lives in Florida, and I'm in WA.

Would be fun to give it another go, though.
Same feeling. Doesn't look attractive at all - I wonder what others see in it?
i agree about task switching; there's nothing 386-specific about longjmp, call/cc, or interrupts, and linux doesn't use the 386 tss (though it did at first: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/26516/wha...)

however, hardware memory protection was an innovation of the early 01960s; it featured prominently in designs like the burroughs 5000 (01961), the ferranti atlas (01962), the cdc 6600 (01964), and the ibm 360 model 67 (01965)

but the 80386 didn't ship until 01985, at which point hardware memory protection had been in off-the-shelf commercial computers for 24 years, very much in serious commercial use; in particular, most of the internet ran on pdp-10s, pdp-11s, vax-11s, and sun workstations, which all had memory protection. it had become universal in mainframes and almost so in minis during the 01970s, and even some micros like the lsi-11 and suns had it

the 286 also had memory protection. what it lacked (like the pdp-11, including the lsi-11) was 32-bit registers. the 386's 32-bit register set meant you didn't have to use segmentation, which was a huge problem for 286 protected mode, and linux mostly doesn't

This reference [1] tends to support what you are saying:

> For this thesis, an atmospheric propagation code named ANCHOR (Atmospheric NPS Code for High Energy Laser Optical pRopagation) was developed and utilized to study the propagation of high energy lasers in various atmospheric conditions and for numerous laser configurations. The ANCHOR code accesses existing industry databases to obtain relevant optical properties for various atmospheres and then uses scaling laws to simulate laser propagation through the defined environments.
ANCHOR accounts for the effects of atmospheric diffraction, turbulence, platform jitter and thermal blooming on the laser beam, and outputs on-target irradiance and power-in-the-bucket profiles for a wide range of laser wavelengths. Several known physical trends associated with laser propagation will be reproduced, and the results will be compared to the industry accepted propagation code Wavetrain.
The results of ANCHOR studies will indicate that the 100 kW-class high energy laser can effectively engage slow-moving targets at ranges greater than five kilometers in clear weather by delivering enough energy to melt 0.1 liters of one millimeter-thick aluminum aircraft skin in five seconds. For hazy, turbulent, and rainy conditions, the laser can effectively engage targets from ranges closer than three kilometers, but reasonable dwell times are only achieved for ranges closer than two kilometers.

Singapore sure, but China has almost no drug use? Yes, the consequences are harsh, but it is still something that happens and drug testing of kids at roadblocks isn’t unusual.

Typically this kind of appeal to special circumstances is the line of reasoning offered by addicts. "I know I still owe you money from last time and the time before that, but this time is different"

We've heard this line of reasoning before during the crack epidemic. Policy makers are addicted to authoritarianism. The prison industrial complex profits. Black-marketeers profit. Intelligence agencies profit. Law enforcement agencies are given bigger budgets. Those wishing to use cartels to geopolitical ends profit in the political economy.

Just like with the drug addict, strong malign incentives exist for the continued addiction to authoritarian policy.

Of course, there's no need to go that deep. Simply invoke something scary sounding like, "think of the children", "this new drug is horrifying!" or any of the other stock tropes used to rationalize further expansion of state power. The same faulty lines of reasoning are used in attempts to prohibit encryption.

As long as people are sufficiently scared, there's no need to have a rational debate. Fear is a powerful emotion. Empathy for drug users, not so much. How effective has the last century of prohibition been? No, I don't agree that this is the best solution. Cheaper and more optimal policies exist, but we are stuck with this due to entrenched interests.

Not even close.

Even if Minix had been installed on every single management card on every computer Intel made from then to now, that number is utterly dwarfed by the number of systems with an installed Linux kernel. That's because in addition to its use as a server and desktop OS, the Linux kernel is the core of the Android distributions that almost every non apple smart phone uses today. Also set top boxes, tablets, watches, and even many smart TVs and Blu Ray players have a copy of Android.
CDs and DVDs have error correction. As do hard drives, but it isn't baked in the spec. It's whatever the manufacturer thinks is enough.
It was worse before America threatens to cut off China’s preferential mail parcel treatment. They used to just drop it off in the mail directly to the USA, now they have to go through Mexico at least.
You're making an assumption that what the librarians is doing is lawful. It may or may not. Librarians are not lawyers. We also don't know if these librarians are breaking the law knowing or unknowingly. (AU lawyer, no idea about Japanese copyright law)
For photos or documents like wills I think the best long term storage solution is still physical prints in a shoebox. Yes, they'll fade slowly over time, but will still be viewable for decades, or even centuries if printed using pigment inks on archival papers.

Of course there's still a chance that physical prints can be lost, stolen or destroyed in a house fire. But I think overall that's statistically much less likely to happen than digital media becoming obsolete or unreadable, or data stored online being deleted because the original uploader stopped paying the storage bill or didn't arrange for transfer of their accounts after their death.

It's easy to argue that everyone has legitimate interest in hiding some things in data, but what would be a legitimate case for hiding things in code?
I also love that when you click the link the new logo is right there, front and center. No other explanation needed.

How much does a fentanyl laced Coca-cola cost at 7-11?

I'd wage that the civil liability would be extremely high for all involved, even if it were legal.
I was a volunteer phone responder for a (smaller) state Suicide Prevention Hotline, but stopped because of the changes to the organization caused by the 988 transition.

My primary complaint was in the organizational changes made by the non-profit. The amount of funding increased significantly, and while some of it was spent on non-volunteer responders the majority of the funding was spent on new bureaucrats. With the funding, the amount of external organizations we were answerable increased. I was suddenly scolded for behaviors I had been doing for years before. Things like calls taking longer than fifteen minutes (when we had lines open, and I am talking to a person in crisis), or me failing to collect enough demographic information from distressed individuals. I didn't want to adapt, and they were more than happy to pay someone $12/hr that will follow orders more closely.

There were a lot of great things that came from the 988 transition. For one, cell phone calls are now routed based on the location of the cell phone, where previous they were routed by the area code of the cellphone number. Another thing, is it did lead to increased call volume. I bet the combination of increased calls, with all calls routing to centers familiar with local resources, drastically increased the amount of detentions coming from suicide hotlines.
This was IIRC an issue back in 1990s due to how the system calculated time. So operation of a system continuously for more than 20 hours would cause the system to become ineffective until it was rebooted.

Thanks in major part to Israel, modern patriot systems have been rigorously tested via fire. To equate the current systems to the ones from 30 years ago is very disingenuous.

Patriot missile batteries in Ukraine have so far successfully intercepted all Khinzal Hyper-sonic Missiles launched by Russia. (At least, the ones that entered their Area of Operation)
> When the war starts, Kessler Syndrome kicks in

No, these defenses would be in low orbit, and low orbits are rapidly self cleaning. Kessler Syndrome is only for high orbits.

There no reason for an attacking missile to go into a high orbit, they would stay pretty low.

Where I live, decapitating the chicken with a hatchet held in the other hand is the norm. The brain dies/falls unconcious within seconds even without stunning.

It is messy if you don't know how to do it, though. If you don't hold it right, the body will happily run off without the head, and it takes ~20 seconds before it dies. If you hold the legs against the chopping block when you do it, it's easy to keep the chicken in place.

This is a good intuition. At times it reminds me of old school hand rolled feature engineering used in time series modelling: assuming that the signal is made up of a stationary component and a sine wave. Though haven't managed to mathematically figure out if the two are equivalent.
White label crypto wallet development
You need to choose reliable crypto wallets to store your tokens. I would like to recommend this white label cryptocurrency wallet. It is very easy to use and very reliable.
I don’t see what the problem is. If someone has just taken pills and is close to dying on the other end of the line, do you really think the optimal course of action is to just sit there and listen to them fade away?

> And their usage is quite bursty so I think you're right that a space based laser would just spend days charging batteries via solar or from an RTG.

That's not how it would be in a war. Their usage would be exactly zero, and then basically continuous. Not bursty at all - more like off, and then full on.

Energy for the space weapon would be a large problem.

You are right but one thing. Gaming laptops are terrible and a bad deal.

They will. Either cheaper or better performance for same price.
The original Linux kernel used the task switching primitives included in the 80386 machine language. The tasks in the OS were directly mapped to 80386 tasks and task table entries, so the kernel was heavily tied to the 386 architecture.

Linus himself once posted to USENet that it was unlikely Linux would ever run on anything but the 386 and its successors. Happily, he did the work to make himself wrong.
I don't understand why they dropped the 3:2 ratio for the larger model.

I thought these are targeted at professionals and not media consumption... I can't see myself going back to 16:9 or 16:10

Just seems like a dumb move. They even seem to have the space with those hideous bezels from 2010. There are tons of similar 16:10 options. It's a saturated market, while there are only a small handful of 16inch 3:2 laptops

That hasn't been my experience. Purely anecdotal, but it seems to me that if a topic has been written about with a high degree of accuracy a small number of times, AI is more likely to be factual than a topic for which there is a lot of low quality information available.
You cannot express or advocate viewpoints that "harass people (beyond a some limits), threaten them, defraud them, incite violence, distribute copyrighted information that isn't yours, interfere with others' activities (sing loudly in a movie theater), etc."

For example, someone could not express the viewpoint that 'thebigwinning sexually assaulted coworkers and stole money at their last job'. It would slander you (an exception to free speech that I omitted in the GP) and you would be entitled to damages.

Nor could someone express to an angry crowd the viewpoint that 'the bigwinning should be assaulted', nor could someone selling cryptocurrency express the viewpoint that 'cryptocurrency is a safe, stable investment for unsophisticated investors', etc.
What happens to neeva's "crypto business"?
Zero opinion on the work-life balance question, because it's irrelevant here (this is not fundamentally a work-life balance issue, and people who work remotely have their own work-life balance problems). This is about whether or not you have to physically be in a particular place to actually perform your job duties. For a factory worker, yes you do. For an awful lot of information workers, you absolutely don't.

Park rangers get to perform their jobs out amongst the majestic beauty of nature. Should we make it "fair" by forcing them to go sit in a cubicle under fluorescent lights too?

100% remote work was a thing before the pandemic and it will continue to be a thing in the future. Companies that don't learn how to adapt to this will be at a disadvantage on this point. This cuts both ways, of course. If I can do my job "anywhere" and I live in an expensive place like Seattle, I should worry that I have to compete with people in very low CoL places, and that likely pushes my own market value down. That's life. But pretending we need information worker's butts in seats downtown to operate servers thousands of miles away from them is not going to fix the problem.
No, that is wrong too.

Arrests happened previously, and then 3 additional individuals were arrested after the most recent attack.

In total, there are currently 16 individuals related to the program who have been arrested. 3 of them are facing life in prison for treason.
That's true, but it's still a sort of library dependency. Even for very tiny computers with a lot of hardware assistance, the basic ROM for communicating with the world in a useful way is bigger.

Would it be possible to use this to obfuscate other cryptographic primitives (e.g. a hash function or a simple program that checks whether the hash of some input equals a hardcoded value)?
A considerable amount in terms of how they behave, what they expect, and for how long.

They invest both in amounts and company types, and typically claim different equity amounts (and carry different liabilities)

VCs do not typically debt load companies after investment, they generally dont do things like sale leasebacks on assets or do dividend re-capitalisation. VCs actually look for an exit event where a healthy company is on the other side. PEs dont give a squirt of piss as long as they can cash out, and often are fine selling acquired firms for scrap as long as they can get a cut on either side of the transaction (ideally both).
You're joking. Even the inventor doesn't speak it fluently.
I think in this case it wasn’t GIGO but rather a too weak signal/noise ratio for mkvmerge. IMO there’s a subtle distinction.

I don’t see it. Unless voters are really unenthusiastic about Biden that they stay home, how is anyone who could win the Republican nomination (like DeSantis) going to win the national election? Before abortion was this abstract wedge issue that Republicans would campaign on but never make any actual progress, and now that isn’t true anymore. Not to mention that none of these people are very likable outside of the Republican base (so far).

And why the heck a crusade against Disney over comments made by a member of the board. I thought Republicans were ok with private companies choosing their own policies.
The soviets already tried. The Polyus space craft was supposed to be a soviet space laser. It would have countered the US "StarWars" program.

Such advice is not helpful. The infinite scroll buffer is useful for some people with long lived terminal sessions, and that helps them with their respective workflows and habits. I am one of them.

The parent ran out of memory with iTerm not because of the infinite scrolling buffer but because of iTerm having memory leaks. The memory leaks in iTerm used to be a big issue, and it appears they still have not fully fixed. Other terminal apps can swell up to over 1Gb of the RSS, yet they do not crash. Provided there is sufficient RAM available, the inifinte scrolling can prove to be benefecial.
