They don't have enough channels to do that? They have to do it via veiled threat to a speech platform to delete users posts?

How can anyone defend this behavior? Just because it's your guy doing it? If Trump was telling Twitter to delete posts that hurt his re-election chances would you feel this same way?
Send no Accept-Encoding leads to an uncompessed response, so I don't think that is the parents issue.
This would partially explain why it feels so slow. Some page refreshes are taking up to a couple of seconds.

It's probably hurried along python code and fairly simple horizontal scaling. Some population of individual instances are probably pegged, and random requests are frequently landing on their backlogged request queues.

This seems to have been rushed out the door to capture a unique market opportunity, and they'll clean up the engineering once they get engagement.
As far as I can tell from my prior experience of working at Insta is that all the work is done by various services written in C++/hack. Python/Cinder would be just interface layer routing the incoming request/response from/to client.
I like the idea, but I'm a proponent of humans.txt [1] as an analog to robots.txt. I put one on my own sites.

I think its worth mentioning that DDOS protection has become a tool to control online discourse. Once you get kicked off Cloudfare, thats mostly it for you if you have a determined attacker. Thats quite a beneficial situation for governments.
The US is the largest country with english speakers, but it does not have the majority of speakers [1] (just India plus Pakistan have as many). So your assumption would be wrong, even based on statistics.

It’s multifaceted. Scientifically it’s too soon to say. Engineering-wise, it’s entirely doable. I’ve seen a couple talks in which they worked out how to do it with current technology and within budgets that are manageable by cooperating governments. Politically it seems like a toss-up, but I’m least qualified to comment on that.

My hunch on the science side (take this with a grain of salt, I’m a computer scientist in climate informatics, not a climate scientist) is that there will surely be undesired effects. I’m working on method development for identifying all of the downstream impacts, but it’s low TRL. I think we’ll end up needing to weigh the negative with the positive impacts unless we find some miracle silver bullet. Intervening in a system as complex as our climate makes it a good bet there will be undesirable impacts.

My guess is we’re ~10 years from confident estimations of what is/isn’t a good idea. Then we have to convince governments to act. That’s really slow. The marginally good news is, perhaps the right intervention can cool the earth fast enough (possibly at the cost of something like Ozone).

That said, we are already intervening in the climate with greenhouse gases. The safest intervention from here is to just stop/slow that. We know what the world is like with less GHG. We only get one shot at a habitable Earth, so while it is scary to try fixing it, it’s more scary to continue breaking it in my opinion. No one wants to act hastily though, we’re working on the science to make sure we know what we’re doing.

If you removed news about climate change, the climate of fear mongering in the news would not change much, it’d just refocus on the typical, and I think the psychological damage you’re referring to would continue nearly unabated.

It’s a product of the information environment, not the information itself.

And in light of the magnitude of the risk of getting this wrong, future generations will benefit in either case - either because we did what we could to improve things, or because we were the unfortunate generation that got lucky enough to be the ones having to interpret the data and suffer through some anxiety so the next generation doesn’t have to.

Imagine two future headlines:

“21st century scientists were on the right track, but society failed to act in time due to a drastic pullback in climate related reporting caused by worry that such reporting was too upsetting for people to handle. 6B perished in the aftermath due to mass starvation and forced migration.”

“21st century scientists had the unfortunate job of coming face to face with apparently cataclysmic data, without enough information about earth’s long term cycles to know that this was inevitable”.

Bottom line: the cost of incorrectly taking no action is so much higher than taking unnecessary action that it seems preferable to find ways to manage the downsides of acting than to hope there are no downsides of not acting.

Nowadays you can't really question anything that's taken as common knowledge. During Covid times it happened that stuff that were questioned in a year were disproved in the next year. Yet people who questioned it were treated like assholes (like it's already happening here). And then there's this hungry for clickbaits media that will publish anything that can scare people into reading their articles...

Coming back to the matter at hand, there's a lot of new battery technologies and I strongly believe that current evs will be able to switch from Lithium if a better technology comes. Also Lithium batteries are recyclable so they might become useful to store energy in the grid, though I barely see investment for it worldwide.

Nuclear for me seems more and more as a silver bullet, together with the various renewables and grid storage. But this is just energy production, we still have a lot of things to stop burning fuels that right now seem damn impossible.

$400k/yr is not rich in this country. At best it's upper-middle class. In fact it shouldn't even be tied to income. I have some very wealthy friends, i.e. people that just casually have $80 million cash in a checking account not to mention all their other assets. Which I have no problem with.

Elizabeth Warren is not talking about you. Actual rich people are laughing all the way to the bank at people like you for voting for policies for which they will get 99% of the benefit.

I extracted all the external links in each of the /uses pages and there are about 3,200 unique external links in total. I also checked each domain whether it's alive or not (expired) and surprisingly only 2 domains were expired - that's a pretty good result.

As far as the site itself goes, it's too impractical the way it is made now. It would work way better if people formatted their /uses page in a specific format that could then be pulled by this site and viewed directly. Otherwise, it's a link farm that you'll get bored of browsing very quickly.

> The issue isn't that they needed a backup to cloudflare. The problem was they only have a single internet provider at their datacenter, so they couldn't communicate with Cloudflare.

That's not the issue. With Cloudflare MagicTransit, packets come in from Cloudflare, and egress normally. They were able to get packets from Cloudflare, but egress wasn't working to all destinations. I wasn't able to communicate with them from my CenturyLink DSL in Seattle, but when I forced a new IP that happened to be in a different /24, because I was seeing some other issues too, the fastmail issues resolved (although timing may be coincidental). Connecting via Verizon and T-Mobile, or a rented server in Seattle also worked. It's kind of a shame they don't provide services with IPv6, because if 5% of IPv4 failed and 5% of IPv6 failed, chances are good that the overall impact to users would be less than 5%, possibly much less, depending on exactly what the underlying issue was (which isn't disclosed); if it was a physical link issue, that's going to affect v4 and v6 traffic that is routed over it, but if it's a BGP announcement issue, those are often separate.
You can worry about stuff without getting your facts wrong.
Does that also stop the baseband from accessing the microphone? How would I test that?
This reminds me of the "population bomb" of the 1970's. There was a scientific view at the time that the world would become overpopulated due to the rapid growth in places like India and China. That in turn would cause mass death and starvation world wide. This view became mainstream enough that the US and the World Bank pressured India into a mass sterilization program[1]. By the end over 8 million Indians were surgically sterilized, many against their will.

Of course the population bomb turned out not to be real. Third-world birth rates drop as they grow economically. But on the path to preventing the perceived apocalypse we imposed massive harm on millions of people.

The real problem was that part of the scientific community were so confident in their ability to correctly model extremely complex systems that they were willing to do incredible harm "for the greater good". But it turns out that modeling complex systems, especially ones that have never been observed (such as a population "bomb") is really hard. They were not wrong about the data (population was growing at an unprecedented rate). But they were wrong about how that would impact the future.

This has a lot of parallels to climate change. Climate is an incredibly complex system that we have just recently started to study. We have never before observed runaway anthropomorphic climate change (obviously) so all these predictions are based on our ability to model this system. There really isn't any dispute that the global climate is warmer then it was a few decades ago, but what that actually means for the future has big error bars. This could be another "population bomb" type scenario.

But again, it might not be. The science strongly suggest that climate change is a very real and preventable phenomenon. Scientists have been right about the global harm of many other industrial activities (such as leaded gasoline or CFC's). But I am wary of people who say we need to ignore the harm of climate related policy actions because the IPCC future is "inevitable" if we don't. I am also skeptical of our ability to get the international community united enough to actually have a meaningful impact.

Linked yes, but so far not as a sole cause independently of other factors.

There is evidence that cannabis use can make existing conditions worsen, or trigger underlying condition. For example if you have predisposition to schizophrenia, cannabis use can make it break earlier. Cannabis, psychedelics or drugs and intoxicants in general, typically worsen then underlying mental condition (caused by genetic or environment).

This is why you should never recommend or push drugs or intoxicants to anyone. Try if you want, if you don't want, fine.

You certainly don't need a notarized physically signed copy to have a valid contract in the US.

That makes it easier to prove you have a valid contract, but even just a verbal agreement can be an enforceable contract.
Get any undersink RO system. I went with a tanked system (there is a pressurized tank for storing filtered water) but I have friends who were happy with tankless (tap gives you the trickle of filtered water directly).

I live in an area with very hard tap water (500 ppm TDS); even without a water softener the output becomes ~80 ppm TDS, and the water hardness test strips check out at ~40 ppm. I then installed a water softener with its own sediment pre-filter, and now the overall RO output looks (TDS-wise) even more pure than your typical plastic-bottled water.
You aren't questioning common knowledge. You're not even bothering with the evidence that provide answers to your questions.

You are simply arguing for argument's sake.
> Widespread conspiracy between governments and tech companies has already been proven.

You mean, a conspiracy in the past to allow governments to sample/siphon data has been proven. That's a pretty different thing than having the entire market physically designing their product so that the government can use it to spy on people.

I don't doubt at all that the government would like companies to do that (they've already openly asked for it regarding encryption after all), but jumping to "it's a(nother) conspiracy!" when there are some pretty damn good explanations that are much closer to Occam's Razor seems irrational to me.

I don't think the tech companies deserve our trust, but I also think that if we go around seeing ghosts and conspiracies in every shadow and under every rock, it's not going to mean anything when the *next Prism happens because everyone will see "the boy who cried wolf" or say "those people always think it's a conspiracy."
If you want to attack ultra free market disaster capitalism, it might be better to point out that it was exactly that which led to Putin's Oligarchic Russia and therefore the Ukraine Invasion.

I don't know you so can't comment on your position. The fact of the matter is you studied hard and did something your peers did not and as such,and assuming we're going to need people with your learned skills and knowledge, you will get paid a premium as a reward. The question is how much of a reward, it's acceptable until the point it becomes exploitative. In this day and age a lot of that high compensation going around isn't due to increased value add but rather by reducing (exploiting) others compensation. Can you add value without the janitor doing his part? Its getting to the point where people doing necessary jobs are no longer able to live, despite them adding value. Can take it one step further, even if people aren't able to add value (lacking skills etc.), you still live with them in the society you live in, what happens then? Guillotines? Pogroms?
Your success is not yours alone. Society got you to that place and enabled it.

The US and EU country GDP's per capita are very similar like around €60k. The inequality is what is different. $400k is just insane in European country.

But your money is still small fry, billionaires own like 30% of everything in the US. Politicians are probably hiding behind taxing your class, rather than the real issue, billionaires.
I would say that up to the point when they started for forcefully manipulating their content for direct payments or indirect "retention", yes, the benefit outweighed the costs.

It's vastly different, you're being disingenuous or just don't know anything about Twitter.

There's a bunch of new features that nobody uses, like communities. Blue checkmark comments for days before you see good comments on popular tweets. The for you feed is full of people I don't want to see, and that was my favorite feed before. Ratelimits, and just overall skyrocketing negativity across the board. The only good thing is spaces. A lot of good people stopped tweeting. It's vastly different.
Verbal agreements are legally binding in a lot of cases, so it makes sense that a thumbs up message would be as well.

> The buyer, Kent Mickleborough, later spoke with Swift Current farmer Chris Achter on the phone and texted a picture of a contract to deliver the flax in November, adding “please confirm flax contract.”

Combine this with their past communication in the same manner and it seems pretty clear cut that both parties knew what they were getting into.
Friendster is memorable example. It did not scale well, and fed up users flocked to MySpace and Facebook, which came later.

More generally it depends on how competitive the space the product operates in, whether quality is something the buyer values and is able to evaluate! Enterprises for example infamously don't appreciate quality as much consumers because the economic buyer does not use the product.

Priests aren't doing science. Scientists have used their approach to truly conclusively prove many things; priests have not. In part by trusting scientists today, we're trusting in a broad institution that has a broad track record of success. Can it get things wrong? Of course.

Because I’m paraphrasing your reply, which aligns with that mentality.

You didn’t explicitly say that because you know your own behavior is inappropriate — and pretend to condemn it in other contexts.
