My wife and I are doing the whole “digital nomad” thing across the US half the year for the foreseeable future. I’ve walked around liberal lead cities where conservatives swear it’s dangerous because of homelessness (Seattle, San Francisco) and cities in conservative states (Dallas, Houston, Nashville, Charleston , etc).

I’ve lived in small town GA, a few cities around Metro Atlanta and worked in a few others. I can honestly say I have never in 50 years felt unsafe anywhere I’ve been and I can’t imagine me by myself carrying would make me feel safer against a possible ambush.

Not to mention that according to CDC statistics, gun violence is the 50th leading cause of death in the US and most of that is either suicide or being killed by someone you know.

I’m more likely to die from hamburgers and too much salt than anything carrying could prevent.
What does the timing have to do with visibility though? What government move is quick enough for that to matter? Do you really believe that if “the government” wants to look at money flow they won’t do it until FedNow is live? Each transaction is tracked by an ID accessible by people in the system, not sure why you men by “invisible”.
Nobody does anything because Google will cancel them before the EU even wakes up. Now the secret to Google’s success is out!
Indeed. It doesn't appear to be such a huge burden to ask Federal elected officials, who are all paid a substantial salary and have great benefits, to put their assets in a blind trust, like in that old Onion joke[0].

Good to know! Indeed some hiccups are expected. I don't need 2FA mule most of the time, but when I do, mine is an old phone flashed with LineageOS, no Google services at all, only F-Droid and otherwise manually installed apps.

Working well, albeit the Google login tends to give more problems than it should, in smaller and independent apps like these.

But I definitely observed that the one time that I left the phone plugged in for the most part of 3 months, the battery never was the same. It lost like a third of its capacity.

Thank you for pointing to the right thread! :)
I'm usually very good with visualization and spacial reasoning but these days I've become so reliant on mobile phone map software that I barely pay attention to my surroundings and I can never remember how to navigate around an area. My mind's garbage collector is highly optimized and my focus is so narrow sometimes that I don't notice things that happen right in front of me. Though when I do notice something, I remember it vividly for a long time.

This article is a testament to the importance of focus and awareness. It seems like being blind forces you to be in the present and pay attention to every small signal that you can get from your environment.

Hard disagree. Most people already type questions into google when they want to know stuff. That's part of why Google's algo is so borked now for technical users, needing to use NLP to field complex search queries and not using straight PageRank.

It's way easier, IMO, to type the question into ChatGPT and it just gives me a paragraph or two about how to make a certain cocktail or cocktails with some arbitrary ingredients, about what Octopuses eat, or popular restaurants in my area, or even how to approach some microservices architectural problem. No need to go through five links where the author gives you their entire fucking life story to embiggen content for SEO, just to get a recipe

Even in it's current primitive state it's replaced search engines for me to a certain extent. Try asking it

If it reliably scrapes the net for relevant info and analyses it for me, that's it - end of search as we know it. I'll hardly ever use search again.

My 2015 85D's battery, with only 70k miles, died the day after the warranty expired.

$15k to have them out in another refurbished, 8yo battery. And they kept mine to resell to someone else for $15k.

Any other company I'd say it's a coincidence. But I suspect it was suppressing errors during the warranty period :/

> Library Freedom Project is radically rethinking the library professional organization by creating a network of values-driven librarian-activists taking action together to build information democracy. LFP offers trainings, resources, and community building for librarians on issues of privacy, surveillance, intellectual freedom, labor rights, power, technology, and more—helping create safer, more private spaces for library patrons to feed their minds and express themselves. Their work is informed by a social justice, feminist, anti-racist approach, and they believe in the combined power of long-term collective organizing and short-term, immediate harm reduction.

I'm really struggling to see evidence of any of this on their website.

All I see, from an org that started in 2015, is:

* A handful of cartoonish, mile-high-overview posters and booklets, most of them formatted for printing, not viewing...none of which have been updated in four years. It's like flipping open your car manual to the section on "driver controls" and seeing: "you should use your vehicle's wipers if it is raining" and nothing more on the matter.

* A huge amount of effort put into listing all their many members and their specialties, dwarfing all their other forms of content - but yet, virtually nobody including the founder seems to have the slightest education, work background, published (or otherwise) papers, presentations given at conferences, projects...nothing... in related fields. Correction: Alison has a wikipedia page which explains more, but that's an awfully thin resume for someone heading a digital privacy project these days

* Two courses, which ran once, for which there is little to no information, no materials for others to run the courses, etc?

* No "immediate harm reduction" resources anywhere in sight; no invitation to contact them for help or to volunteer, except for paid engagements for the executive director

* An executive director who hasn't been on social media in two years?

This really looks like a typical "professional organization" that is little more than a resume stuffer. For an org with a hundred plus members their work product is basically nill.

This is a perfect example of how not to be taken even remotely seriously by anyone, with a cartoonishly exaggerated logo, no citations or references or even the most rudimentary details...not to the mention the accessibility issues from the font:

Yup. Also tickles me that I might have had better equipment than this team, though we still had to source sample carriers from McDonalds.

The multi-million-dollar measurement apparatus required us to put samples in disposable tubes that cost about a dollar each. They turned out to have the exact same physical properties as a McDonalds straw, so once a week someone made a food run and grabbed a handful on the way out.

That's what happened to India. Fertility rate: [1] Population: [2] Infant mortality rate.[3]

China imposed a one-child policy for a while to prevent such an overshoot, and it worked.[4] India had only 2/3 the population of China in 1960; now India has more people. Probably more than India can support in current climatic conditions.

I have the same disease as Andrew. Well, sort of. There are many variants of retinitis pigmentosa. From what I can tell, I am much further along in my progression for the same age.

This story was a good read and for the most part up lifting. It only really touches on the dark side of blindness, pun intended. When I was diagnosed I found solace in Jim Knipfel's accounts of dealing with RP, the most famous book likely being Slackjaw. Knipfel never pulled punches, he wrote about the raw harsh reality and squeezed black comedy out of it. While everyone around me was trying to be encouraging about my predicament, Knipfel gave validation to how I really felt about RP and could make me laugh about how fucked I was. If you want to see the other side of blindness I recommend Slackjaw, but be warned, it is basically the counter point to this story.
We have been hearing about UFO's for 70+ years. Every few years there's a great stir about how the government has been hiding evidence of extra terrestrial life only to be proved as lies or fraud later. There was a time that the government encouraged the rumors as a way to hide top secret avionic research so they had a reason to make sure it continued.

Bottom line, we have zero credible evidence of extra terrestrial visitations. Think about this, we have billions of people using phones with cameras. Yet we don't even have a credible photo that we can show as real evidence.

Science fiction has burned the idea of ET's into our collective minds so much that most of us are convinced that there must be extra-terrestrial life among us.

There was a time when people thought elves and fairies were 100% real. Ok, now switch ET's for them.
If you made the arcs deeper than the curves of the wave I think yes. If you just sliced and flipped the arcs from the original wave, no. It'd be a straightforward calculation for the moment of inertia but I'm too lazy to do it. It's all about placing the most mass farthest from the centroid line.
Perhaps! Properly dealing with outliers is important in many fields, and I can see the connection, if only just barely.

It depends on where, how fast, and how much. It can be anticipated and managed, but it needs to be anticipated and managed, otherwise the natural consequence is poverty. Unfortunately it also seems necessary to sustain modern human society in the long term.
No need to make any policy changes; existing policy appears enough to make people work less. The labor force participation rate has been steadily decreasing from the 1990-2000 peak[0].

As long as the ones who are working 10% fewer hours are also taking home 10% less, I don't see the problem with it. But the current system of the welfare state that depends on redistributive taxation has a strong incentive against that change; if everyone working works 10% less, that's 10% less available to be transferred to those who aren't.

IMO AWS S3 works fine for this:

* Create a S3 bucket and enable versioning
* Create a new user and give it only s3:PutObject on your new bucket
* Create an auth keypair for that user and put it on your server

Now any server compromise that gets those keys can only add new data to your backup bucket, and can't read, overwrite, or delete any previous backup.

There's no dedup, so that could be a deal-breaker.

There's also no real encryption (though that shouldn't be too hard to add I guess). I don't really see the gain though. Anyone who compromises the server keys is blocked from reading by AWS permissions. Granted, that's not quite as reliable as good crypto for blocking reading, but on the deleting side, there's never going to be anything but the auth system of whatever solution you're using to block that.

I get that there's some applications out there where preventing data exfiltration is important enough to need strong crypto (though is that really important when we're talking about full compromise of your server, which gets the attacker direct access to the data anyways?), but I decided that the risk of failing to implement properly or full data loss due to losing the keys or them being corrupted wasn't worth the risk of blocking somebody who somehow compromised the AWS account security from being able to read backup data.

Why copyrighted material? Could we stop celebrating how tech is going to steal everyone's copyrighted works in a massive effort to replace the artists who made it? Why does everyone here hate artists so much? Do they not deserve any rights over their IP, eg, the right to say no when someone wants to make derivative works that replace them from it?
> Yes? That number is decreasing, is the point.

This is factually incorrect, or perhaps more generously: out of date. SOE market capitalization as a percentage of the total has been increasing for about two years now, and the CPC has stated their intention that SOEs will play a bigger role in the economy going forward.

Unified Kernel Images sounds like a useful improvement. I imagine that when combined with whole-disk encryption it provides useful protection against evil-maid attacks, but I haven't been able to find any signs that there is any Linux install in existence anywhere--except for Android and ChromeOS--where the boot process can detect an alteration to a file in /usr/ (e.g., the system's C library) and refuse to boot or at least warn the user. Unlike an evil maid, malware that has succeeded in its goal of running in a privileged process can alter any file in the unencrypted root filesystem.

In my search I focused on the "immutable" distros like Silverblue because it seems to me that the immutability would make the implementation easier.

In contrast, all the other mainstream OSes can detect an alteration in something like the C library during boot.

Great question! As mentioned in our talk (https://youtu.be/8fiYVyISyz4), we use Cilium to restrict network traffic out of certain workloads running on the cluster. These are L7 network policies. We call this a "data sandbox" because we are restricting the flow from these workloads.
On the big scale yes. But declining population can have a lot of negative effects in the shorter term on smaller geographical scales. Consider what happens to a small rural community if young people start moving away and the people who do stay have fewer kids.

In theory eSIMs are great, in practice they could make another surface of attack if a malicious app sneakily installs an eSIM that charges the user like 100 bucks for a 1 minute call. Social engineering might also be used to lure elderly and less technical users into accepting shady contracts, where a technical relative asked to physically installing the SIM could have spotted the scam.

Life is a very well established phenomenon, and there is a high statistical chance of it occurring elsewhere in the universe.

With powerful enough computers and telescopes, scanning other planets for life or intelligent life will become far easier and more successful, and as a species which has only worked on space travel for some 60 years who is to say that one which has worked on it for 100s of years would not be able to travel large distances to explore their indicated "intelligent life" planets.

What confuses some people, and me, however, is the why. But I think we might be overplaying the significance of visitation on their end. We don't consider it significant when we drive from LA to NY as we've been able to for a long time. If you took a caveman during neolithic times across the world in a Ferrari he would probably experience extreme ontological shock. If I had the capacity for interplanetary travel I would definitely use it for my own personal entertainment and curiosity.
