I would love to visit Brasilia. I understand that the planning stage was a little too utopian. I think that they have been working to mold it into a functional city. What is interesting is the thought of a city needing to be worn in like blue jeans.

That is certainly a post industrialization idea. Life is complicated I only know what works for me.
Damn, I need to make an extension. Any advice on any good material for how to write a good extension?
Everyone believed what?

You seem to be unaware or Elon time or how Elon has made predictions in the past, generally not that "this will happen by date X" but that "this cannot possibly happen _before_ date X". Which are very different statements.

There is a contingent of people who want to retcon any statement ever to paint Elon as a fraud, when reality is much too subtle for trivial blanket labels like you want to apply.
Yeah I came away feeling like this was clickbait. Based on the title I expected to read something about the app stores quietly injecting telemetry in your extension or something like that. Something outside of the developer's control or being done quietly by default as part of the standard packaging and delivery pipeline.

What the author described was very much not that. What they described was developers making a conscious decision to add untrusted code to their extension without properly verifying it or following security best practices.

A more accurate title would be something like "It's hard to trust browser extensions, developers are bombarded with offers of easy money and may negligently add malware/adware"
> There is nothing special about ".us" over anything else.

No, .us is special; the OP sums it up well enough:

> Under NTIA regulations, the administrator of the .US registry must take certain steps to verify that their customers actually reside in the United States, or own organizations based in the U.S.

Such restrictions aren't unique to .us, and I've worked with other ccTLDs that have similar restrictions. Generally, AIUI, they're supposed to be for the people of that nation, who can then do as they see fit. Maybe that's free access to whoever pays for it, maybe that's "only our people", such as is closer to the case here.

> Content problems are the business of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

If GoDaddy actually did the job they were supposed to be doing here, it might actually be possible for that to happen, since there'd be a door on US soil to bust down, but if the bad actor is just in some far-away nation that was never supposed to have been permitted to register that domain in the first place, the bar goes up a bit.
X/Twitter, Meta/Facebook, Ąćęńś/Microsoft, who's next?

If you need to write X/Twitter to make people understand what are you writing about, this means the rebranding was not good
Anyone who eats pork anyway should have no problem with this meat either.

This sounds like grasping at straws, a last-ditch effort to scare the not-so-easily-persuadable-anymore into opposing modern power development with nuclear fission.

It seems like a clever idea to me! The first problem that comes to mind (not necessarily insurmountable) is that some number of people will use the honeypot data in legitimate forms, either due to cluelessness or intentional fraud on their end. It's not immediately obvious to me what happens in that case.
0. If I absolutely "have" to send something, I schedule it for working hours.

I also don't have Slack installed on any personal devices. If I "have" to send something I'll install Slack and then delete it right after.

More often though I'll just email my work address with the message I want to send and then take care of it the next day.
I'm not going to pretend to know a lot about networking but I use Netgear's Orbi routers and receivers. I've tried MANY different router and powerline adapter brands and nothing even comes close. I know it has something to do with using a proprietary communication protocol but it honestly works so well that I just accept it as magic and live my life.
Damn I really don't want to make the frontend even more complicated than it already is.
They probably used the code base for that really big Chinese app that does absolutely everything. (The name escapes me.)
Maybe staying away from someone selling something while making that claim, but staying curious seems appropriate.

> LLMs, at least the ones companies use, are APIs all the way down.

Really does seem like it. So many interesting little projects that end up being nothing more than a hidden prompt and an api call to OpenAI
Completely wrong though.

The US Constitution does not mention a free lawyer.

I don’t know how many times you need to read this to understand it, so I will try once more: Rights are restrictions on the government, not gifts to the people from the government.

The government is not allowed to try you without representation. Read that again, and again once more.

It is not a gift to a free attorney. It is a statement saying if the government wants to try you, you will need a lawyer. The state doesn’t have to provide one, because it does not have to try you.

No lawyer is sitting around being forced to take pro-bono cases because “this guy has the right to an attorney”.

You do not have a right to anything that someone else is forced to provide. Read it again.

There is nothing in the constitution that explains “if you can not afford a lawyer, one will be provided to you”. That came much later and is a condition to a tax system.
It's a shame that the .us locality namespace and delegated manager infrastructure has been allowed to languish. GoDaddy (and Neustar previously) have intentionally made it difficult or impossible to register new locality domains under namespaces managed by them (read: the majority of namespaces).

The delegated manager system truly represented the distributed, decentralized nature of the old Internet. That said, it is not completely dead; there are still a handful of delegated managers out there, and you can even convince some of them to "register" a new domain for you in the locality namespace!
To be fair some nations do have their software development teams. Italy has Sogei which is fully controlled by the Ministry of Economics. They had a reputation for developing crappy software but I heard they are getting better

PS: they were not involved in the development of this algorithm
The easiest way to know it's not a foreign adversary is the fact that the US isn't claiming it to be. If it were actually foreign tech, the US would be beating the war drums 24/7 and using this opportunity to double their defense budget.
First, it is the first Russian lunar mission. All before were all Soviet missions.
Second, it's not 25th even if we count Soviet missions. Because USSR used to assign "Kosmos-<number>" name of all lunar missions that failed to leave Low Earth orbit or even reach it.
It's a lot easier to clear capital expenditure than revenue expense.
As the linked german article states:
“Wildschweine sind deshalb von Strahlung stärker betroffen als andere Waldtiere, da sie sich von Pilzen ernähren, die Cäsium besonders anreichern, das 1986 nach der Katastrophe von Tschernobyl vor allem über Bayern niederging.”

Deepl:
“ …Wild boars are therefore more affected by radiation than other forest animals because they feed on fungi that accumulate cesium in particular, which fell mainly over Bavaria in 1986 after the Chernobyl disaster.”
They didn’t know where all the machines were physically located and thus did not have permission from the court system in those countries.
I don't know what to say here because exact scaling parameters are very subjective, but personally I find 250% scaling for 4k@16" okayish? I use 175% for 1440p@14", and 125% for 4k@27", which is slightly smaller than what Windows suggested you.

When I had my previous laptop, it had 100% for 4k@16" in Linux by default, and it was causing me a pain in the eyes. Switched to 200% back then, because fractional scaling in Ubuntu wasn't working well.

I'm not sure if it's possible to have scaling less than 100%, I just never thought to make things smaller, not bigger.

It's been obvious that he's inclined to talk nonsense for a _long, long_ time, tho.

At this point, there are shades of him being E Lon Hubbard to the remaining believers; for most of them it seems totally unshakeable.

(Humanity was extremely fortunate that the existence of L Ron Hubbard and the existence of the Internet did not significantly overlap.)

I'm an engineer with many years of experience in Silicon Valley, working in management roles, engineering, and consulting. My expertise is mostly in back end systems, working in the modern Go/Docker/Kubernetes ecosystem. In addition to working directly on large and complex code projects I also managed and grew engineering teams at various companies.

If you need help with specific technical projects, or are looking for management roles please feel free to reach out. I'm very familiar with both the unique challenges of scaling up startups as well as working to innovate in large enterprise companies.

Specifically if you need help productizing and scaling out various AI/Machine Learning/LLM systems this would be a good fit. I know there is quite a bit of demand in this area and a limited supply of qualified candidates.

Compile-time short circuiting is why https://https://ziglang.org[Zig] sucks. It means that code that is never called never goes through semantic analysis, which means that calling functions can expose latent compile errors.

I've gone back to C99. Sure, arrays aren't bounds checked, but I can write C so much faster than Zig that it doesn't matter.

2016 essay by the president of the Fraternal Order of Police arguing against civil forfeiture reform.

> The FOP does not disagree that there is a need for civil asset forfeiture reform. In fact, we worked very closely with Senator Jeff Sessions on this issue going back to the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act (CAFRA) of 2000.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, one of civil forfeiture's biggest fans, reinstates aggressive federal policies.

2017 essay by then Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein praising civil forfeiture and arguing reform is not necessary.

> Some critics claim that civil asset forfeiture fails to protect property rights or provide due process. The truth is that there are multiple levels of judicial protection, as well as administrative safeguards.
> A bad website will rarely kill someone

That's probably true although I think eventually, that kind of callous line of thinking might actually get someone indirectly killed because programmers don't worry about the impact of their code.

A less severe (although in my opinion still live changing) problem is having an unusual name making it harder to book flights. Another example where having a NULL license plate got someone thousands of tickets [1]. Or IP addresses getting mapped to locations where they actually don't come from and now someone's house is getting searched because "their IP had illicit activity".

Coding probably won't kill someone but I still don't think it's low stakes.

The abstract of the underlying study[1] says:

Here, we target radiocesium contamination in wild boars from Bavaria. Our samples (2019–2021) range from 370 to 15,000 Bq·kg–1 137Cs, thus exceeding the regulatory limits (600 Bq·kg–1) by a factor of up to 25.

They don't quantify the cancer risk that would result from eating wild boar meat in Germany. I imagine it would be quite difficult to do so, given that the degree of contamination varies so much.

> events are signed using pki so it’s easy to know who sent the event and it’s authentic.

what problem does this solve? how many people are publishing events (tweets) that are inauthentic? you need to be logged in via password + 2fa on twitter to post. if somebody can post from your twitter account on your behalf, they are logged in as you. i don't see how "PKI" on top fixes that?

NextDNS and AdGuard DNS are just DNS providers that return filtered results for ad-related DNS queries. Their filter lists are public:

https://github.com/orgs/nextdns/repositories?type=all

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardSDNSFilter

If you don't trust their DNS servers for whatever reason, you can simply add these entries to your hosts file to replicate their functionality locally.
Oh cool they made it on Geocities.

Hey, Diego Comas here, Sourcegraph's Head of Security.

The only email addresses that were exposed were those of users who have accounts on Sourcegraph.com, not those of the installers or users of Sourcegraph self-hosted or cloud instances. Note that sometimes users have accounts on both platforms, though (e.g. for license key management). And as you mention, while we do collect the email addresses of the initial installers of self-hosted instances only, for security, product, and marketing updates per our TOS and privacy policy(https://about.sourcegraph.com/terms/privacy), those email addresses were not exposed since they are not stored on Sourcegraph.com.

My understanding was this was also of questionable legality in the EU (some newspapers in Germany do it legally, but IIRC the EDPB (EU gdpr regulator) has said this sort of approach is non compliant.

I recall that Austria recently ruled this approach illegal.
This is the most profound comment in the section, ie. to each his own to find beauty, and along the way try to treat others with respect.
I know the enforcement of this would be problematic and require some tinkering and the establishment of probably a whole department of the .gov and a lot of tinkering by well informed people, but it is just wild to me that all entities, not even just registrars, but every entity in every step of the process, from registrars, to ISPs, to cloud service providers, to email providers, to hosting providers, everyone involved in a scammers' operation profits from the scamming, and none of them* are even slightly culpable.

Like how are you selling amaz0n.us and NOT figuring out that someone is up to shady shit? How are you approving thousands of emails with Amazon in the subject line and not realizing you are not Amazon's provider? How are you hosting pages clearly duplicated off legitimate websites that this one IS ABSOLUTELY NOT and just shrugging your shoulders?

I'm not even saying we need continuous monitoring on all these fronts but like, if you get an inordinate number of spam reports on a client, maybe take a freaking look? Maybe take a look at what your hosting servers are publicly serving? Maybe give the mildest of a shit about promoting a healthier Internet, considering you're selling the tools people use to build it?
Generally speaking, the political argument against is "If you do anything that gives even the appearance of curtailing police powers in any way, we will create the illusion of a crime wave, attribute it to you, and absolutely hammer every form of media with that narrative." (If, God help you, you manage to pass a law that actually curtails police powers, they'll generally act in open defiance instead of doing their jobs.)

The opponent here isn't other citizens, it's the police and their organizations (police benevolent associations, police unions, etc.) which wield considerable political power, and to an extent also legal power (since they collectively have nearly full discretion over what laws are enforced and by what means, to the extent they can cooperate amongst themselves).
It’s hard to find any information on Google about this, if ‘RAAC’ is in your search string all you get for results are 300 news articles that are virtually identical. I miss the old Google.

fully agree with pretty much everything you're saying. the wrong job can be pretty hellish and should be avoided with extreme prejudice. but i think there are options between total avoidance and complete immersion that achieve reasonable compromise between earnings and fulfillment.

part-time consulting work seems like a pretty solid way to make good money and maintain lots of free time, but you've done it and it didn't stick. what drawbacks outweighed the pay/flexibility benefits in your experience?

in my experience working for smaller companies and startups is also way better than working for big companies. i understand why people work for big companies and all the perks they provide (sometimes i just browse openai job postings and read all the compensation sections), but you're more flexible and have more impact at small companies and that's huge. especially for entrepreneurs: more flexibility means it's easier to build stuff in your free time. and more impact means it's easier to creatively express yourself on a larger scale by leveraging company resources.

the other point i want to make here though is: if you've been solopreneuring for a decade and you've built multiple revenue-generating businesses on your own already, i would not bet against that track record. if you've got runway to last you a while, maybe just maximize your free time and your wellness. you'll probably start something new.

9 and 12 boys.

They carry dumb phones for calls only (we gave them one when they started going on multi day trips from school or outside of it at age like 6/7).

They both have laptops and can game on and communicate with friends and classmates.

They have old iPhones they sometimes use at home (with no sim cards). Those don't leave the house and are very rarely used (mostly to chat in friends groups).

They don't watch youtube (except for music sometimes). They know what TikTok is (because all their friends watch it), but they don't (currently) have interest in it (mainly because we've had long talks about how terrible doom scrolling social sites and short videos is).

If at some point we give them smart phones with sim cards, we'll heavily restrict social media sites and apps, but I plan on keeping the dumb phones in use for as long as possible (hopefully until 15-16).
