I like the idea and can think of many rewards I could post, but the hard problem remains: how do we guarantee fairness? The reward poster would be incentivized to be picky with accept, the submitter would want to minimize the work to receive the reward.

One common solution to problems like these are reputation based (eg. eBay) or 3rd party mediation. There are probably others, but I don't immediately see anything done towards this.
Can you provide proof of all your assertions about the negative effects of porn usage not addiction and do provide well respected, non religious, scientific sources with sane methodologies and sound conclusions.

I do have them in a ZFS mirror, actually. And I noticed the performance is abysmal, both read and write. So the warning is a good one.

For my use case it's just Yet Another Different Place (tm) to keep another copy of some files, so I can tolerate low performance if it means it's cheaper.

Since I'm still learning and don't have enough confidence in my abilities when it comes to storage reliability, I know that it's just a matter of time until I mess up and lose a few drives due to a silly mistake from my part.
This is what I was thinking, and they could just bundle the sound files, or generate them on the fly, so they don't have the streaming cost.
I don’t know why your comment was downvoted but as someone working on a game with some commercial success this is 100% accurate. From my experience game dev requires a large amount of effort from a few motivated people to succeed. Having money to physically sustain those people is a big factor in ensuring they have the time to succeed in completing the project.

This has become increasingly important for fire insurance here in Southern California over the last decade. My neighbor has five acres and when he bought it after a fire destroyed his previous house, he went around and killed everything on his property except for a few distant trees using Round Up (creating a neighborhood standoff over the runoff in the process).

We also had to completely clear cut all plant life that borders the small roads leading up to the neighborhood and all the properties because firefighters will refuse to send their trucks into any area that might be quickly cut off by flying embers lighting shrubs on fire.
I also think about layers when I set up IaC, but I'm more focused on how things connect and relate rather than sticking strictly to the OSI stack model. In my mind, it's all about grouping things that might influence each other. This approach usually leads me to think in three layers: foundation, shared services, and applications.

Starting at the bottom, the foundation layer holds the basics like networking, storage, accounts, and permissions. The shared services layer is where I place tools like certificate managers and secret storage. I keep services that interact closely together, while separating those that work more independently. At the top, I lay out the applications. This is where I slot in services like auto-scaling groups, individual server instances, load balancers (depending on whether they're communal or specific), and pods in platforms like Kubernetes. Depending on the complexity of the environment there may be 1 or multiples of each layer.

By structuring IaC this way, I find it’s clearer and more intuitive.
Great read, but could benefit from some proofreading...
That wouldn't do anything, since CF's CDN connects to the backends directly.

As such, any CF server not within the nation in question would effectively be a circumvention tool.

There's no point in discussing this because no one is going to invade Russia. They have nuclear weapons. Even if they didn't, I'm not seeing anyone in the West edging for a war with them.

With this said, all that advanced tech and yet they're shitting their pants in Ukraine against old equipment. Something doesn't fit here.

Regarding training the new forces on western strategy, I'm not sure what else NATO countries could do. That's how they train their own forces. There was a failure to provide the resources (especially air ones) to put our tactics into practice, but NATO can't train Ukraine to fight like Russia/Ukraine/USSR...
Canadianfella is correct. "Vig" is not the correct term. Vig, short for vigorish, is a yiddish/Slavic word used to describe the excessive interest on a loan from a lender of ill-repute. It's also used to describe the house's take of a book.

It's not just money you pay to shady people. If he charged you $5 for parking, but allowed you to pay when you came back, but it would be $10 instead, you could say the additional $5 was the vig as that represents a 100% interest on a short term loan.
I was hoping for this 6 months ago, but between all the AI services available now, I don't feel the need to have this all in a central place. It's all still so new, so if one services starts sucking, it's to switch to a new one. I learned my lesson the first time around by trusting a large amount of my digital life to Google/Apple, and getting burned when they deprecate a feature I like or make my data impossible to export.

Then again, I'm growing curmudgeony and ossified in my ways, so maybe this idea is useful to other people who haven't lost their faith in centralized services yet.
Cellebrite asks cops to keep its technology secret
I'm not sure if the term "phishing" even applies here. The scam would be straight up fraudulent credit card billing -that most users wont even notice.

During the processing part, The scammers could very well just overbill the user by saying "Do you agree to $2 for parking?" and then charge the user $50. Then say a "We will hold $50 while the transaction is approved" just like a gas station.

Your service will get all the complaints and the scammer just gets the cash.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea or anything, however there are many bored smart teenagers and many hungry people with sliding ethics.

Hell, an even better scam is to copy your QR code from each unit and then bill the user for $X more as a "convenience fee" ... then auto-submit correctly to your service.

I mean, that might not even be illegal [in the sense that the customer agreed to the fee].

So you can either not manage the forests and avoid building into areas that would be affected by natural fires

Yes, this is what I have in mind. If you want to live in a forest you need to assume you'll be on your own in the case of natural disasters and have some survival/escape plan. Building into/exploiting all available primeval land seems like a Bad Thing to me.

Worth is entirely subjective unless there is intrinsic value in these things. For example - if no one listened to or interacted with either, would we still say there's value in their existence? There is probably very little. Otherwise, the value comes from whatever relationship the appraiser has to the music or sound.

Some people value sleep, others value sounds of nature, others value pop music, and others value money. The take on anything or anyone's value or worth usually tells us more about the appraiser than the subject.

Probably.

I also grew up in Florida (I was in Miami for Andrew... fun times). A tropical storm is a significant weather event. It is especially the case for places that don't get this kind of weather. "Just" is completely inappropriate in the context of Hillary hitting California.

Florida tends not to flood due to the sandy soil and limestone. Its trees tend not to fall over (imported Banyans notwithstanding) because palms and pine don't present much canopy to the wind. Flooding is typically only something that happens in low-lying areas due to storm surge. Florida homes are built to withstand hurricane force winds (at least since Andrew). It has storm systems designed to handle a lot of water all at once.

California has clay soil in a lot of places. It doesn't absorb water quickly. It has different foliage that won't handle the wind as well. It has building codes for earthquakes, but probably not for significant wind events. I have no idea how much water the LA storm system can handle all at once.

I live in NC now and even here, tropical storms cause trouble because our soil doesn't drain well and the density of trees is a lot. Even just a bad thunderstorm last week knocked out the power for 100K homes.
It's the same mentality at work in either case, just diffuse rather than targeted.

The argument was made that the US/UK "installed" the Khomeini regime [...]

Fair point, I missed installing or did not read it carefully enough, this was at best an unintended consequences. But even without intention, there is still responsibility, at least to some extent.

Which is why a multinational coalition under UN authority, which included several other Arab countries, put Saddam back in his place.

Sure, even if oil was not involved, the invasion of Kuwait or any other country should generally not be tolerated. I mentioned this just to point out how quickly and in some sense arbitrarily judgments can change, Iran is also a major oil producer and there Hussein got support for the invasion. The 2003 invasion on the other hand was simply a crime.
I just wanted to note that it is important to confirm experimentally things that seems obvious: it might not be obvious to another person, you might discover some subtleties, it could be a good experiment in defining a thought formall, etc. And the most importantly: repetition/reproducing result is the base of all science.

I remember in the decade+ before zfs was introduced and in several of the years since then trying to figure out the optimal stripe size for RAID 10 volumes and the optimal stripe size and count for RAID 5 volumes with Solaris Disk Suite, VxVM, Linux md, etc. Fixing bad decisions has typically meant backup twice, test a restore, fixe the volume, and pray one of your backups is good. :)

ZFS has generally been easier to go from zero to working well once you accept that life doesn’t need to be so complicated as legacy md, lvm, and fs layers made it. It also has a pretty big footgun that causes me to carefully read the man page before using “zpool add” or “zpool attach”. Vdev removal is a big help for this.

Odd because a few years ago he was interviewed saying that bitcoin is only useful for illegal activity. Then he pump n dumped Dogecoin. Then he said Tesla would accept BTC and it did for a week.

I think it's an elegant design decision, because it allows the use of a more compact and readable function definition for nested functions. The 'fn' allows you to omit names and types, and so the shorter keyword (fn vs func) indicates the function definition may also be shorter.

The scoring system could try to account for perceptual color differences, perhaps by ramping up the saturation of both images when calculating the differences. Since the original painting is relatively desaturated the current scoring mostly incentivizes focusing on light/dark rather than shades of color.

Lots of other great suggestions in the thread — would be fun to see a leaderboard!
> which rules out all RAID levels except 0, which is nuts.

RAID 1, you mean? Because that way you still have a complete copy of your data if one drive fails.

BTRFS is excellent for the use case of a wide variety of mismatched drives, because it supports adding and removing drives and rebalancing the array. But for the moment only the RAID 1 modes are really trustworthy. I have a NAS consisting of drives whose advertised capacities in GB are: 1000, 1000, 1920, 2000, 2048, 2050, 3840, 3840, 4000. But it started as a pile of infamously unreliable 3TB hard drives.
"Luckily, I’ve actually dealt with this problem before, way back in highschool when I had a stronger interest in these systems. I believe this is the result of a weakened solder connection between the power adapter at the back of the Atari (where the male plug of the power chord plugs into) and the main board of the atari."

Made this mistake myself on various occasions:

Don't believe, measure!

Your hunch may be accurate. But that should only be taken as a hint where to direct search after checking the basics. Basics being: power supply voltages on the board, and clock signals (CPU clock in particular).

With those ok, go from there.

That said: fixed = fixed. Good job!

TL;DR it was owned by the people who maintained their house.

This is something that worries me about my fire-prone California city, where virtually all of the houses are dilapidated junk that would burst into flames immediately if any embers came by. Wood shingle siding is very common and a lot of people think it is "vernacular" even though such siding was added in a second wave of renovations after all these buildings were made. Letting your house fall to bits, complaining to the city whenever anyone tries to improve or replace a home, and calling the weeds growing right up your walls "a garden" are all local hobbies.

My brother-in-law sent me one as a gift, years ago, and I regarded it as sort of "meh", because I didn't even have any RFID cards at that point, and that's not really part of my threat model, I guess.

However, the banks subsequently foisted "tap to pay" cards on me across the board, and I also have a US Passport, and I recently aquired an NFC Yubikey, so now I may have more concern.

The slipcovers are nice, but I really fell in love when I found out there are Faraday Bags available from a few vendors of "tactical gear". The Faraday Bag comes in several sizes; most are large enough to hold at least a smartphone, if not a laptop. So you can really envelop a serious device or collection of devices in those babies. I have placed it on my wish list.
Didn't know that. Just wanted to point out that this wasn't some "lefty-woke-commies' presenting a case.
No. It’s because it’s practically a desert and deserts have problems with flash flooding since the ground can’t soak up water effectively. Throwing concrete on huge portions of the city also contributes to flooding issues.
Plenty of corporate web filtering solutions block on IPs, and the adoption of ESNI will only make it worse. If you manage an important website, moving out of a bad neighborhood (Cloudflare) before you end up the victim of blocking is probably a good idea.
I personally am against hypothecated tax. I think "tax A to pay for B" is a harmful rhetorical trick, linking two decisions that are actually orthogonal. I'd rather fund health because it's the right thing to do, and tax highly processed foods because it's the right thing to do (less certain on that second one).
Good point that the starting point of the data in this case is publicly available APIs, but, and this will sound backwards, centralizing ones main firehose on a decentralized platform seems like a great way to reach the masses, including individuals but also smaller media outlets that don't interface directly with those initial APIs.

Radical idea for this century: pay someone to stand at the entrance of the packing area to put cash in a safe or hold a card reader up to the drivers' windows. With some training, this person is also your health and safety officer, your security personnel and even your 'sorry sir/madam we are out of spaces' person (who saves each customer ten minutes of driving in circles).

As a computer programmer, I love it when technology allows us to automate things and do more with our time. But I also love the human connection that being greeted by a service professional offers; I don't mistake it for friendship, but it is valuable to me in its own way.

Socially, these kinds of jobs fill an important hole in contemporary western economics. The lower end of the pay-scale is being squeezed out of existence, gambled away on the slim chance of saving megabucks at scale from automation. Possibly the only downside is the unpleasant behaviour that members of the public might show towards service professionals. However, maybe a culture of mutual respect can be promoted more effectively when companies are not always data-harvesting, corner-cutting and penny-pinching as side-hustles.
