Incidentally, it was the same signal that ran on 10base5 with the vampire taps.

At the lab I hung out in as an undergrad, someone found what was termed "the connector of evil." On one end it looked like a thinnet terminator and on the other it looked to be a thicknet terminator - but they didn't terminate, it was a pass through.

And we used it. Some of the machines had 10b5 connectors and some had 10b2. The ones that used 10bT were at the other end of the room where the hub was.

The fun part was tracking down the inevitable "that machine dropped off the net" because the standing wave wasn't quite right for the thicknet side (and made the thinnet side unhappy too).

So we set it up to do a ping -f of an IP on the subnet that was on the 10bT side and redirect it to /dev/audio. This way machines that were on the net had speakers that were chipping away while those that had fallen off were silent. And then we'd go about swapping lengths of coax to get the standing wave to establish again when everything was chirping away... until we had to add another machine.
Again, the media is very much NOT a "random source" of information.
I don't know about the US but in many other countries (my own included) the media does have such a responsibility, even if many of the codes of conduct in existence currently are largely voluntary (though in countries less committed to free speech/liberal democracy etc. there are often quite strong penalties for publishing information that is deemed to be somehow unsafe for the public).
Medical diagnosis was just one possible example, by the way, but I think you're very much mistaken that there's no likelihood that within our lifetimes we'll have good reason to trust and depend on it in that particular area.
I don't think we will get there while we are burdened en masse by the 9-5...

but, if entropy itself were ever to be the "last problem left" - I've no doubt that we would solve that problem also.

We are far closer to literally living Star Trek lives (without space travel) than we are away from it.

Before millennials die we will hear terms like "post scarcity" - assuming we live long enough and society doesn't fall apart.

If only the slaves that used the real Underground Railroad could have turned white as easily as crossdressing people can switch to clothing of the proscribed gender.

Try describing a concrete situation in which someone is accused under these laws you speak of, and then is able to escape by simply moving over the state border. Do you live in the world of the Dukes of Hazzard, where they can escape the Sheriff as long as they manage to cross the border? Do you think there are no extradition laws between the states?

> At first, faradization was carried out using virtually pain-free currents so that the soldiers would relate the painless nature of the treatment to their comrades. However, Roussy recommended the use of more intense faradization in difficult cases. To begin with, electrodes were placed on the targeted areas and then, if necessary, on more sensitive areas such as the soles of the feet or the scrotum. It was sometimes necessary to incorporate certain complementary measures like disciplinary isolation or a milk diet.
Caching requests for feeds and comments would probably work. Reddit already does this at the server level with a low TTL.

The s_client binary does not implement all of the terminal controls in real telnet.

If you really want to use true telnet over TLS on the registered port of 992, then get a regular telnet client and telnet to a custom port on local host.

On that custom port, run stunnel in client mode. You can run this either in an inetd/socket activation setup, or in daemon mode that actively calls listen()

That stunnel should be configured to point at your telnet-ssl server (on port 992 if you want it accurately fingerprinted).

That telnet-ssl server should also be stunnel, and it should be configured to run telnetd in inetd mode.

That is the correct way to implement telnet-ssl. I would not trust any telnet client or server that was linked directly to a TLS library.
That’s a lot of words, but at the end of the day the NHTSA allows FSD beta on the roads. Someday in the distant future Tesla will likely use the data they’ve collected to make statistical inferences to regulators about the safety of the system as a whole. Design intent doesn’t matter now, and won’t matter in the future when the system is retroactively validated for level 5.
Reddit is like Twitter and Instagram - it really depends on who you follow. All three are full of wonderful creative and interesting individuals and ideas that I'm really glad I follow. Also a lot of toxic crap.

You wouldn't say radio is useless simply because there is a genre of station you don't like.
So? Aren't these companies "good at business"? They should be able to plan around it - if they are in fact good at business.

Many of these fast food places have executives whos monthly compensation exceeds the YEARLY compensation of these front-line employees. Its for sure not a money problem - it's an allocation problem.
The clones that drew the most attention all ended up becoming right-wing cesspools. I remember they were often created because of free-speech absolutism which was code for "I want to express hateful views without consequence".

This is such a bizarre take to have in 2023 when we just had the 3 of the top 4 bank failures of all time. Yes they were fully backstopped by the FDIC (even though they shouldn't have been) because they were the first out the door. The FDIC can't back them all.

Do any other large social media companies allow third party clients in the same unfettered capacity that people seem to be expecting from Reddit?
That often opens up a lot of other cans of worms for the company to deal with. I've seen and heard of it happening for some cases of workers comp or extended illnesses, but those were cases where the company was potentially on the hook for a lot of money. The pragmatic companies will usually just quietly settle the smaller claims because it's cheaper than fighting them.
This probably isn't the kind of answer you're looking for, but - for me - the answer would be volunteering services and mentoring.

It's not done with the motivation of earning money (otherwise it wouldn't be volunteering). But the network connections made and karma - if you will - that has come back resulting in job offers, people taking the time to teach me new things that ended up resulting in new opportunities, etc. have been numerous.

And while not money, I've made a lot of wealth of friendships in the same way who have helped me through tough times (some financial).
The "Has my ballot been counted?", which you are solving here, is not really a problem or not the entire problem of verifiability. The problem is "Has every counted ballot been cast by a person who: has the right to vote, and has not voted elsewhere?", I don't see how this can be easily solved in a secret ballot.
One could argue that, from the point-of-view of a reader,

Tesla chose to kill people by shipping a low quality system.

They did this because they were (and remain) massively behind the market leaders, and the only way to catch up was to start bulk data collection early with a system that wasn't ready.

The home computer (imsai 8080) wasn't all that unrealistic either. There's another story floating around here about the people that provided it. One thing that was unrealistic was that acoustic couplers couldn't do autodial.

Of course the WOPR (lol) and the big screens were. Computers of those days did indeed have large rows of flashing LEDs (or on the earliest models, regular bulbs) but they weren't just a huge strip for show. They were all marked with the values each bit of registers etc. They also didn't hide the most important info (eg countdown to the end of the world) in an LCD display hidden somewhere it couldn't be seen.

But Hollywood just took the flashing lights part the way they now think hackers sit in the dark with hoodies on and the screen projecting green readable text on their faces.

Okay, well that makes my point even stronger :)
I had a job interview with Reddit last year for a modeling related position and it was one of the strangest and most user-hostile interviews I've ever had, even as someone who's spent many years working for SV adtech companies. All product interviews were laser focused on maximizing a few specific advertiser revenue metrics, anytime I brought up effects on the consumer it would immediately get dismissed and I'd be asked to refocus on advertiser effects. My guess is their leadership is pressuring the company hard to boost their numbers, no matter the long term cost.
> Regulators continue to allow it, and their opinion > internet randos.

This is true.

> When they force FSD to be pulled, then there is weight behind the argument.

Well, I suppose that it is pretty hard to dispute this, but it should be recognized that the NHTSA (the theoretical regulator of vehicle and highway safety in the US) is extremely weak and virtually non-existent.

The NHTSA lacks anything close to the skill sets necessary to independently, proactively and robustly scrutinize even rudimentary mechanical issues (which has been confirmed by several USDOT OIG reports over the years).

With opaque, complex automated systems and software... the NHTSA stands no chance.

The NHTSA lacks the internal skill sets to understand any of the comments that I have made elsewhere on this post.

Again, you are not wrong per se, but again, it should be recognized that the NHTSA is concerned primarily with establishing plausible deniability to protect the agency and with headlines rather than protecting the public with solid regulatory processes and oversight.

(Coincidentally enough, yet another USDOT OIG report was buried in a Friday afternoon release: https://www.autoblog.com/2023/06/02/nhtsa-fails-to-meet-inte.... I kid you not, every four years or so the USDOT OIG releases another critical report on the NHTSA that focused on issues not rectified in the previous report. It is like Groundhog Day.)

> You already share the road with inattentive drivers and drunks, so the risk acceptance benchmark has been set.

This is true.

Because the US public does not demand change and because roadway deaths are high, but distributed across time and space... the NHTSA remains weak and overall US transportation policy remains dreadfully poor.

> FSD is arguably better than both cohorts, considering number of deaths caused.

Unquantifiable.

There is no way to accurately and independently quantify the downstream safety impact of FSD Beta.

Sure, perhaps the NHTSA believes that (because they must given their structural issues), but we should recognize why such assumptions are flawed.

> More people will die in the next few minutes from traffic deaths than have ever been attributed to Tesla’s autopilot or FSD (33 total, as of this comment).

There is the possibility for "indirect" incidents caused by FSD Beta where the FSD Beta-active vehicle is never physically impacted.

We cannot assume that those do not exist.

And we also cannot assume that the media is able to pick up on every Tesla vehicle-related incident - even as well-followed as Tesla, the company, is.

In fact, other than the automaker's word, in many cases, safety investigators like those from the NTSB cannot independently and forensically establish specific root causes.
That seems much more like "incomplete" than "meaningless."

There's enough meaning to answer this question, no: "what's greener, 255 G or 255 R"? Or "what's greener, #FF6600 or #FF0066?"

Are you implying that in 1945 there were no people who spoke Japanese and English and Japan itself didn't have decades of emmigration to all parts of the world? The US committed one of its greatest crimes against humanity during the war against the huge number of Japanese Americans in the US.

Remind me again how developers win by making their old games more accessible, just so people can play their old games for free instead of buying new games. Because that would be one of the wins in the win win situation you claim.

In reality, if releasing code was no work, then at best it would be a neutral/win situation. But that’s not reality either, it is work to release code. So it’s a lose/win situation. They lose and you win. They aren’t going to make the effort you demand, just so they lose. In the real world people want something back for their effort and otherwise they are going to put that effort into something that will get them something in return.

But it is pretty soothing to know that you would certainly contribute, if only it wasn’t so hard. I’m sure the other people that you demand contributions from don’t experience your hardships.
And how do you draw that conclusion?

No, this actually exemplifies the problem. Japan is arguably the most developed country in the world and despite their incredible wealth and societal prosperity - Japan doesn't have a very bright future.

The data appears to present progress itself as the enemy of population growth.

The more developed an economy, the higher the quality of life the fewer offspring people have. The higher the education level, the fewer kids - more money, less kids to spend it.

Part of it is a money issue - not as much as people make it out to be.

My best friend had a kid at 23 while working as a server in a restaurant - his college job (he dropped out) and he raised his son just fine, wasn't ideal but he's alive and here.

If your not having a kid bc of money and you really want to have one - there will never be enough money, there will always be another big project or promotion to work for, we all could use a bigger house.

The joy kids bring to life cannot be measured in financial terms - I wouldn't trade the memories of the moments I've spent with my nephews for all the money.
Adequate to many is “Kills fewer people than the average human driver.”

And yet, the average driver kills 0 people. It’s in the far margins where deaths occur - a fraction of a fraction of a percent.

This is in comparison to the arguably singular entity “Tesla Autopilot” which has already killed several.

To have a functioning modern society - there must be some equality of outcome. This ensures that

- Taking a business risk doesn’t leave you destitute.

- Getting unlucky due to health/climate/career doesn’t leave you on the streets.

You can either pay for such equality of outcome programs in taxes or by workplace policies. Provided the policy is economically reasonable and all employers are obliged to it - taxes or policy don’t matter much.
> I would keep business stuff outsourced.

Maybe with the exception of Auth? Having some external SaaS startup be in control of your user database can be a bit nerve wracking. Especially if they get acquired by someone terrible.

I'm personally glad that Auth0 wasn't acquired by Oracle. What a nightmare scenario that would be... :D
> a few specific advertiser revenue metrics,

Can you you be specific about the metrics you were asked to boost?

The leadership just want to cash out quickly with the IPO, then it will be someone else's problem.

Heavy speakers is a plus when moving low frequencies. Otherwise you have to strap or bolt them down and together.

_Might_ be the future of mids, but I doubt it. Advancement in ribbon speakers is more likely
IMHO.
Also people develop a taste for how some speakers sound. I don't see guitar music being played on anything too different for a while, unless it has the same sound character. Even if technically it's a better reproduction, it has to reproduce how paper cone speakers sound now better than paper does. Seems unlikely. To win, people have to like the new sound more, or not be able to tell the difference.
My career is solving problems for companies/people. The tech in itself has very little value, in fact if I could I wouldn't write a single line of code. Waiting for ChatGTP to get there..
GPT3:

“Smallpox Vaccine: Deception and Tragedy” by Dr. Vernon Coleman

Vernon Coleman is a real anti-vaxer but hasn't written any books.

“The Demon in the Freezer: Smallpox, Biological Warfare and the End of the World” by Richard Preston

Richard Preston has published a book titled "The Demon in the Freezer". But it doesn't have that subtitle (although it's an accurate summary of the book), and it isn't critical of vaccination.

“The Vaccine Race: Science, Politics, and the Human Costs of Defeating Disease” by Meredith Wadman
“Vaccine: The Controversial Story of Medicine’s Greatest Lifesaver” by Arthur Allen

These books do exist, but they're about the history of vaccines and appear to speak of vaccines in positive terms.

GPT4:

"The Smallpox Vaccination Hoax: The Case Against Vaccination" by Viera Scheibner

Doesn't exist. Viera Scheibner is a real anti-vaxxer, but she doesn't have a book by this name.

"Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History" by Suzanne Humphries and Roman Bystrianyk

Finally, a correct answer! This book is real and is critical of vaccines.

"Vaccine: The Controversial Story of Medicine's Greatest Lifesaver" by Arthur Allen

Same book that GPT3 referenced; still not critical of vaccines.

"The Age of Autism: Mercury, Medicine, and a Man-Made Epidemic" by Dan Olmsted and Mark Blaxill

This one is real as well and, as the title suggests, is also anti-vax.

You think statistics override basic principles of human dignity. I'm merely exposing your argument for the absurdity it is.

> What if it being optional increases death statistics massively?

What else would you like to make mandatory to satisfy your death reduction statistics, I wonder? Vaccines?

Let's just go all the way: you're talking about eliminating human agency, autonomy and free will. You want to replace it with decisions made by committee with optimized outcomes and make them mandatory with force of law.

> Should we really be ideologically driven instead of relying on data and measurable effects?

Yes. Do you not have principles, values you won't compromise on?
